Designer and gallery curator, Tina Ziegler of HuntAndGatherArt.com, had a chance to catch up with artist Sarah Joncas in regards to her latest show at Thinkspace and also gives us some insight into a day in the life. Here’s an excerpt:
“Can you explain the relationship between the women and their environments in your paintings, for example in your piece, “Lingering”
The environments are just meant to compliment the emotions and atmosphere of the women in my paintings, as well as give more understanding to why she’s feeling that way. If they seem sad or lonely, the room encasing them might be bland or …..”
Check out the rest of the interview here and tell Tina that FreshNerd sent you….
I’m always a fan of anything that supports local artists/talent. This looks like a show I’ll definitely check out:
“Made In Britain is a themed group exhibition opening on September 10th 2010 in the Atrium area of Westbourne Studios. More than 30 artists living and working in the UK are taking part and have created an unique 24 x 24 inch artwork, inspired by and in celebration of everything quintessentially British. The exhibitions showcase a range of talent, from well known established artists to recent graduates. Its a wonderful chance to get to see what the new generation of British contemporary talent has to offer. Opening night includes a vintage mini installation supplied by the London Mini company, British cider by Brothers and soft drinks provided by firefly.”

New York City- On September 11th at 76 Wooster Street in Soho NYC, a new era in art begins as Bobby Hill’s “Bhillboards Artshow” takes over a 5000 sq. ft space on the 2nd floor in a townhouse style building that once housed Andy Warhol’s upstairs studio and Grace Jones’ La Vie main floor restaurant. DOORS OPEN AT 7PM!!! The first 250 guests to arrive at the show will receive a free NYC 9/11 inspired “Bobby Hill Multiple Original Art Print.”
On display will be OVER 200 original works of art in a range of media on canvas, paper and wood. Also included in the lineup is “MICA”, a 36 ft long painting (composed of eight canvases put together). A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated to charity.
In anticipation of the show, 2000 limited edition pieces are being hidden throughout the NYC streets and subway system until Fashion’s Night Out. For the lucky ones who find these pieces, they will have the opportunity to get them signed at the show.
For 12 days next month, you will be able to take a tour of the Mayfair flat in which Hendrix lived, entertained, wrote, and probably did drugs. This should be pretty fresh to go see, I think I may get my tickets sooner than later before everything is sold out as you should too.
The flat will be open from September 15 to 26. Details and tickets can be purchased at HandelHouse.org
