Early Look Peek

Here's another early peek at another student whose work I've selected for the "Early Look" student exhibition at the Long View Gallery in DC next month.

Her name is Lauren Albert and she's a senior at Moore College of Art & Design in Philly. Below is an animated video which will be in the show. See some of her 2D artwork here.

The show opens at Long View Gallery DC on June 7 from 5-8PM.

DCist on Janis

DCist's pops in with a really good profile of DC area sculptor Michael Janis.

Because of Janis’ strong architectural background, he works with industrial glass, giving it new meaning, context and function. Much of Janis’ work deals with self identification, and how luck and chance have influenced his life, work, and how one views oneself. Drawing with crushed glass powder, he uses static electricity to take away the powder and reveal the desired image

Read it here. Michael Janis (whom I now represent in my new art venture) has been on my "Buy Now" list for a long while and he's in my own collection; buy Michael Janis now.

Mark Power on AOM

Mark Power has a really good review of AOM here.

Pat Monk

The WaPo's Christina Ianzito checks in with a really cool profile on DC area artist Pat Monk.

As a young physicist, Pat Monk helped build the atomic bomb. Now, at 87, it's his creativity as an artist that's exploding.
