"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."

Fallin 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

Language, Math and Fire

I finally got away to look at some art this weekend, and what a weekend it was, at least at David Weinberg Gallery where they opened "Wheatley, Kaiser-Smith & Glink". With a title which sounds more like a law firm than an art show I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly…See More

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.

It all started when Esaú found himself…

The Ooey Gooey Aesthetics of Artist Paul Nudd

Posted on March 22, 2010 at 12:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

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…

At 7:09am on June 12, 2009, 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

Still in your works I can see surrealistic characters in solitude and drama wich tell me a story of a constant realistic research for a better society, Thanks.
