For the past seven years or so, we have tried to bring a fresh perspective to offerings of contemporary art in the Washington, DC area. We have featured work by established Polish and other European artists and showcased works by talented local artists. Along the way, we have made some great friends and have had the pleasure of being surrounded by some really fine art.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The past year has been exciting. After six years on U Street, we moved to the Highland Park Building in Columbia Heights. We are grateful to Chris Donatelli and Bozzuto Management for their support of our efforts and for the use of public space in the building to display art. We also made a second trip to the Affordable Art Fair in New York City and received a heart-warming nomination for Best Gallery in DC courtesy of the readers of Express Newspaper, owned and printed by the Washington Post. In the last year, we hosted two solo shows featuring works by </span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); text-decoration: none;" track="on" href="http://www.nevinkellygallery.com/pdf/Wheeler.PR.pdf" linktype="link" target="_blank">H.

Curated by Ellyn Weiss and Sondra N. Arkin, it presented the responses of twelve artists to what Weiss and Arkin saw as one of the most important elements of the then-prevailing ethos: "the increasingly diminishing zone of personal privacy available to any of us as we are constantly under surveillance by a growing array of government, corporate and media technologies." As a follow up, Weiss and Arkin are asking a group of local artists to reflect upon an uncertain future and respond to the question: <a href="http://www.nevinkellygallery.com/news/"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">"What's important now?"</span></a><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >Participating artists include Sondra N.

It contains a range of subtle hues—rich browns, subtle grays and warm amber tones. She uses these colors to coax images from the tar. The images are not planned in advance, but reveal themselves as she works.They have an eerily organic quality to them, appearing to the artist like living things “swimming up from the primeval darkness.” They register with us at the most basic level of all, as if triggering a memory we carry in our DNA of the moment life began."</div></div>Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06399122914778953648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36486478.post-73354371148910527132009-08-08T16:57:00.017-04:002009-08-08T18:11:19.697-04:00STRANGE FRUITS<span style="font-family:verdana;">I am sure you have been wondering what we have been doing at the gallery since the closing of “Stimulus.” Although we have kept busy tending to a few private functions, such as last week's </span><a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.buildanest.com/">NEST</a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> charity event, we are now in the midst of preparing for our next show (which is set to open on September 17). Previews to come soon.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">In the meantime, here is an update on one of the local artist who participated in our last group show: </span><a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://emilygreeneliddle.com/">Emily Greene Liddle</a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> will soon be having a solo exhibition at </span><a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/aroma-washington">Aroma</a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> (Cleveland Park location). The show opens on Saturday, August 15, 2009 and runs through September 28, 2009. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">As mentioned on her website, “working mainly with oil on canvas, Liddle uses classical academic technique to portray modern pop imagery. While her paintings initially appear light and playful, her subject matter plays on deeper themes of contrast and contradiction in form, function, and perception in modern Pop culture.” </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">In her series “Strange Fruit,” Liddle merges commonplace objects with luscious fruit and vegetables in order to sometimes create a visual oxymoron or a conceptual allusion to a certain word or idea. A selection of these works is currently on display at the gallery. Come on by for a sneak peek of what you can expect when you go to her upcoming show (and, of course, to take a look at the rest of the art that graces our walls)!</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-family: verdana;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuq6FBo3JBBsIJgDuuwLO_fdP7RD7WP2o9HaNereh-gPVukUGiDBdop1RKepua66Gndh3OK82E5BG8ErMe2saj6SirMFExgFHoAPeEVMnyDr6N5kMYZLcEl_zeLni3-jMSeRCvYg/s1600-h/Security+Blanket.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuq6FBo3JBBsIJgDuuwLO_fdP7RD7WP2o9HaNereh-gPVukUGiDBdop1RKepua66Gndh3OK82E5BG8ErMe2saj6SirMFExgFHoAPeEVMnyDr6N5kMYZLcEl_zeLni3-jMSeRCvYg/s320/Security+Blanket.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367714824106895570" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;" ><span style="font-size:78%;">Security Blanket</span></span><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;" >, 2009, oil on canvas, 48 x 36</span><br /></div>Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06399122914778953648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36486478.post-37612192858121638432009-07-15T11:30:00.004-04:002009-07-29T23:58:42.729-04:00Thank You ElizabethJust a quick word to express my sincere thanks to Elizabeth Carriger for her tireless work on behalf of the gallery over the past two years. Elizabeth started with us as an intern in the Fall of 2006 and assumed full-time responsibility for all gallery affairs the following Spring. She was the main force behind nearly 20 exhibits at the gallery during her tenure and did all of the planning for our participation in two New York art fairs. Because the gallery bears my name, I get to claim the title of Director. In reality, it is Elizabeth who has performed that role during the past 2 years. She did it all, and she did a fabulous job.<br /><br />Having earned her Masters in Art History from GWU last Spring, I knew the time would come for Elizabeth to pursue opportunities more in line with her long-term career goals. I am grateful for her loyalty to the gallery, for her professionalism and for her friendship.<br /><br />Good luck, Elizabeth.
