Ian Shults' February 2012 Opening click for additional images Man, did we had a packed house on Saturday for local artist Ian Shults. Friends, family and fans all came out to see Ian's newest body of work. We were bustling until 10pm! The energy of Ian's paintings could definitely be felt. His paintings lend a sense of movement to the situation, either on the part of the subject or the viewer. It's a contagious buzz. If you didn't make the opening, we definitely suggest coming to see this show in person. It will be up until the 25th of February. See you soon! Culture Map Austin's interview with Will Klemm 1.25.12CM: What is the purpose of art? "I heard somebody talk about the purpose of literature the other day and they said that the purpose of good literature was to make you feel less alone. I came to that conclusion a long time ago with art. That is what art did for me." - Will Klemm Read the entire interview here. Will Klemm Show January 2012 click for additional images Happy New Year! We can't believe it's 2012 already. And neither can Will Klemm. Will has been showing his work with us for 2 decades now. Hard to believe this nationally reknown artist began his career in our little building. This show takes us through his early, expressionist works to his soft, luminous pastels and culminates with his latest work in oil. Yes, the man has moved on from pastel and is going to focus his career on oil. A pastelist for 20 years, he has decided to challenge himself in this medium and learn something new. We commend him for his courage! So, check out these pastels while they're still around and get excited about watching his oil work develop over the next 20 years. |
