"Curator’s Comment:
Manyon appears to be tightly connected to the other quasi-narrative works in your portfolio, but has a slightly more elevated mood. I enjoy the gnarled contouring of the roots/twisting vines that compose the bodies of…"

"So how was this medium? Is it unforgiving, in that once you place some color, you can change it? What paint did you use? I've painted on parchment, which is sheepskin, and has a fuzzy surface. You must use goache. I found it difficult."

Martin Garcia posted a blog postFallin gInto Place
At The Nightingale Gallery last night I saw something that I have been waiting to see for a long time, a one person show featuring Celeste Neuhaus. Celeste is, if you don't already know, an artist that is wholly in touch with her experience and lives her life honestly to that end. This show, which also has a few video pieces, features a collection of paintings, assemblages, and collages all of which we will just consider objects. I have known…See More

Immigrant Nation, at the Chicago Latino Film Festival

The upcoming Chicago Latino Film Festival is going to be filled with
great works from around the world, but one of the most anticipated
Chicago debuts will be very local. Esaú Meléndez, a local filmmaker, is
making waves with his documentary "Immigrant Nation: A Battle for the
Dream". He is excited to make the films local debut after recently
winning the Cine Latino Award at the 2010 DC International Film Fest.

As most of you already know I love a good studio visit, and doing ChicagoArts allows me to visit some of the
most interesting studios in the area. I recently met with Paul Nudd who many of you may already be familiar with, due to his prolific showings over the past few years.
Paul is a drawer, he also paints and makes collages, but…

Jay Zerbe said… - thanks for your comments about the work martin. actually, i have been working on reducing the tonal range in the pieces. if you go to my website www.zkartz.com you will see older work (particularly the "synthetic worlds" series) they are strongly figure ground. i will probably go back and forth - i just tend to try to work on an approach that helps me learn something new. reducing figure/ground puts extra stress on getting the color right, and color is what i am working on mostly at the moment. yes, the pieces are quite urban - i agree about that. in a year of two when we move to the country, it will be interesting to see if that element fades. thanks again! j
