GALLERY TALK

March 15th

Noon

In preparing for this 2014 solo exhibition, I took on the task of studying and researching extensively and exclusively the images and ideas surrounding the specific artists and times on the list below in an effort to comprehend them.

From this my own meager thoughts about these works and how they apply to my current practice guided me in the creation of works that you see here.

• George Braque and Pablo Picasso: early Cubist works, 1909-1912
• Amedeo Modigliani: human forms
• Paul Klee: life's work using minimal line and color
• Marc Chagall: brilliance in composition and color knowledge
• Vasily Kandinski: paintings and drawings, 1907-1912

This is the best I can do at the moment, but I'm still practicing in the hope that during my lifetime, one might be decent.

A History of Great Art

Because PYRO artists are autonomous in their personal selection of which of their works to exhibit and because they work in clay, metal, stone,weaving, stitchery and fabric dyeing, oils, watercolors, acrylics, charcoal, pencil, digital and film photography, found objects and beads, shows are often experimental, always fresh and invariably surprising.

Regular exhibitions showcase new gallery members and at least once a year the entire membership is asked to respond to a given theme such as “White” or “Downsize”. Although artists may choose to mount solo shows, such as retrospectives, often they will invite artists who are not members of Pyro Gallery to participate as “Friends” or “Members of Enid”. And from time to time, several members will join to display work which has a common concern. When Louisville is host to national conferences on Clay or Glass, Pyro Gallery participates by inviting nationally prominent artists as guest exhibitors as well as scheduling appropriate work by Gallery members.

As you explore the exhibition archives, discover not only the variety of concept and media but also the professional standards viewed at Pyro Gallery.
