New NAAU Website Launched
The New American Art Union celebrates its third anniversary by launching a newly redesigned website (including some handsome images of resident artists by Jim Lommasson), a new logo (penned by Ty Ennis), Couture’08 and more to come! Stop by during the Affair at the Jupiter Hotel to see my work in the backroom this month. The gallery is open this weekend from 12-6PM, and on Sunday with extended hours from 10AM-6PM. Currently on view in the gallery is Tim Dalbow’s thick-n-rich Oubliette and Chasing Ghosts: Paintings of Stories I’ve Seen. These dozen new paintings are a culmination of landscapes, bridges and bathing beauties. The sources come from vintage photographs, the regional ’scape and passing glances. Danseuses de Ballet is my favorite piece here, combining a constructionist Duchampian sensibility with a generous amount of paint in the grail of deKooning. These gals have poise, yet look as though they each don a welding helmut. The heat is most certainly on.
