New Richmond Gallery: Metrospace Gallery

10 07 2007

Last Friday evening I had the opportunity to hang some of my figurative paintings at the soft-opening of a new gallery on Broad Street. My work hung on one wall and the other wall displayed the abstract paintings of Will Turner (alas, no link provided because his website isn’t finished yet.)

For those who are familiar with my landscape paintings, you will see that, aside from my love of vibrant color, my figurative paintings seem quite a departure. Below are the paintings included in this show. These are large works focusing on women, with strong psychological and narrative content. While I am steadily continuing to develop and grow as a landscape painter, I will also be developing some new works more closely aligned with these large figure paintings, perhaps moving away from the narrative and further into abstraction. We will see! For more information on these paintings please contact me.

Regarding Metro Space Gallery: This is a huge new gallery and event space located in the heart of the downtown First Fridays Art Walk. It isn’t quite finished yet (they are finishing the floors today as I write this) but even in its austere state it is a beautiful new space. The gallery is located at 119 W. Broad Street, right next door to Metro Sound and Music (same owner). I am not a gallery spokesperson, but from what I could gather, I believe they are on target to open in September if not before.

Update 7/25/07: The paintings of mine that hung in this exhibition are now on display at Plant Zero in the exhibition hall near the event space. :-)

Sure thing! I look forward to seeing how this space develops. I heard a lot of positive comments about it last Friday even in its rough-hewn state. Since joining my studio/gallery to the artwalk I can often be so busy working it that I don’t get a chance to see all of the wonderful shows. But since I’m over on Main Street I open and close a bit earlier than the Broad Street crowd. Every so often I get a chance to get over there and take a peek. I will be sure to stop by your place next time I do!

Thanks for your comments. (Note: I reserve the right to delete any comments or links resembling blatant advertising or spam.)
