Preview: Andrew Bell @ Rivet Gallery
Coming this Saturday, May 2nd at the Rivet Gallery in Columbus, OH is “It’s What’s Inside That Counts” a solo show featuring new works by Andrew Bell. The show reception is on that Saturday and while Andrew will be present at the reception from 7-11pm, he will also be at the gallery that Friday for a “casual q&a” session. So if your around make sure you stop by for both nights.
The show is online to view and it looks amazing. I really dig the variety of mediums that Andrew has in the show, as well as the price range. There is something there for everyone. Here is just a preview of some of the works, visit the gallery for the full show.

Preview: “The Conservatory” by Kelly Vivanco
Coming June 12th Thinkspace Gallery will be hosting two solo shows, “Beneath the Seams” by Sarah Joncas and “The Conservatory” by Kelly Vivanco. Some of the works that Kelly will have in the show have been featured as a preview and I had to share them. I have been a fan of her work for quite some time, her work just keeps getting better. This preview shows how intense her work is getting, and that glow her paintings seem to have has just been amplified. Can’t wait to see the whole show!

Preview: Sylvia Ji @ Corey Helford Gallery
Coming this Saturday at the Corey Helford Gallery is the latest solo show from Sylvia Ji. The show is entitled is “Haute Epoch” and features all new works by Sylvia. Some of the styles in this show will be familair to fans of her work, but there is also some newer things she is trying as well. I especially like “Red Crow” (shown first), it still has that facial decoration that she is known for, but is a new twist on it.

Preview: Chris Anthony @ Corey Helford Gallery
Coming this Saturday, March 28th to the Corey Helford Gallery is a new solo show by award winning photographer Chris Anthony entitled “Venice”. The show will feature images of a world ravaged by global warming, where a “mysterious sinking civilization is unveiled, Inhabited by aquatic survivors and enchanting lost souls”. Looking at the preview images, I am reminded of a painting by Sublime Era artist, Caspar David Friedrich. Specifically his “Monk by the Sea” piece. These photos have that same overwhelming emotional quality, you easily feel the vastness surrounding the figures.
