Nice article in the Dispatch on our upcoming Paul Patton show!

Upcoming show: PAUL PATTON, "Rix Mills Remembered", Opening Sept. 30, 6-9pm

A few paintings from our upcoming show:

Threshing at Mooreheads, 18x24, 1998

The Hunters , 20x30 , 1989

Last day of School, 14x18, 1989

By Surrey to Rix Mills, 18x24, 1989

Buttoning Down for Winter, 24x36, 1989


Paul Patton {1921-1999} grew up in the tiny Muskingum County village of Rix Mills, Ohio. It was a place where kids walked to a one room schoolhouse, worked in the fields and spent their playtime outdoors in the beautiful Appalachian foothills.
Patton went on to be a B-17 pilot in WWII and had a long career in education. When he went back to Rix Mills in 1985 he discovered that the countryside he loved had been dramatically changed by strip mining. The hill against which his village nestled had been entirely stripped away. Fearing that the way of life he knew would be forgotten, Patton began putting his memories on canvas.
With no formal training, he produced over 500 paintings that so touchingly capture a time and place gone by, that they are an artistic and historical treasure.

Here's an article about Bill that was in the Columbus Dispatch:

Linoleum lives on

Ex-painter uses flooring as groundwork for bright scenes

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

To all the homeowners and landlords who sensibly covered their kitchen floors or any other room with linoleum: Bill Miller says thanks.

Miller, 44, of Silver Spring, Md., turns vintage linoleum into fine art. An exhibit of his work recently opened in the Short North?s Lindsay Gallery.

His pieces look like mosaics or collages or paintings, but they're none of the above.

"The thing is, it's all linoleum," gallery owner Duff Lindsay said.

"When you're at a distance, they look like lush, vintage oil paintings. Then, when you get up close, you see that the deft brushwork is really the skilled piecing together of linoleum."

Lindsay represents a broad genre of folk artists, most of them self-taught, who work in wood, stone or paint.

Miller is his first linoleum artist. And he isn't self-taught but has an associate's degree in graphic arts from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

He began working with linoleum about 10 years ago.

"I was a painter living in Pittsburgh," Miller said. "I started working with a group of artists making big sculptures in abandoned steel mills. We would go to abandoned sites, use whatever we could and make a big creature.

"That started my scavenging. I would see old linoleum and see how beautiful it was. I saw the gorgeous patterns. I'd find it in Dumpsters and save it."

Miller uses up to 60 selections of linoleum for one work, cutting dozens of chunks and gluing them together on a board. His process of assemblage is similar to that of a mosaic.

The scene that emerges could be a self-portrait or a picture of Andy Warhol, Abraham Lincoln or Jesus. It might be a ship sailing across a storm-tossed sea or a bucolic landscape.

To create depth, he adds layers. In Kentucky Home, depicting a house and its yard, five layers of linoleum pieces overlap so that trees can be seen in front of the house.

The challenge, Miller said, is often to find a tiny piece of linoleum to complete an image.

"I'm taking a bit of the past and re-claiming it."

KARL MULLEN show preview

A few images from the show, call for details.

Karl Mullen, April 1st, 2011 6-9pm

We are pleased to welcome back Irish painter Karl Mullen, who continues his exploration of the legends of his homeland and the family ties that bind him to it. Raw pigments and walnut oil… wax and wine; these are just a few of the tools Mullen uses to put his stories on paper. Also an accomplished singer-songwriter, Karl will perform some of his music starting at 9:00.

Feb. 5th, Evolved at Lindsay Gallery

Joey Monsoon! Opening party NOV . 12, 6-?... at 9:00 DJ Jason Lyman.

JOEY MONSOON

Born, KY 1971

Resides, Columbus, OH

Joey Monsoon is a storyteller…. but he does not paint complicated visual scenarios, or give clues to his narratives in the actions of his figures. Joey’s stories are told in the eyes of his subjects, and in the framework that supports their skin. It’s rare to see a self-taught artist so interested in the anatomy of his people; it’s as if he has performed ghoulish autopsies to see what makes them tick.

Monsoon fell in love with drawing heroes and characters as a child… he drew obsessively and has never stopped. Later in he was drawn to the expressionist portraits of Egon Schiele, the energy of graffiti and the underground art of Robert Williams.

In the 1990s Joey began experimenting with paint, a laborious series of trials and errors with acrylic and gouache. In 2005 his work started appearing in group shows, garnering so much attention that he was voted ColumbusUnderground.com’s “Artist of the Year” in 2008 and again in 2009. This is his first show at LINDSAY GALLERY.

In his own words:

My figures and portraits hover somewhere between reality and myth. Their worldly weariness is revealed through a dream-like lens. They are not so much portraits of people as they are portraits of emotional triumphs and failures. We don’t always know their stories, yet in our gut we know how they feel.

This show is a benefit for ANNIE'S FUND:
Annie’s Fund for the Creative Arts exists to perpetuate the beauty of the handcraft. This endowed fund honors the memory of Anne P. Miller who, as an artist and patron of handcrafted art, believed deeply in the magic of what hands and minds can create. We carry on her vision by funding within the Ohio Valley, individual artists and group initiatives that advance often over-looked art forms. Our work is supported by donations from those who hold dear this fund’s purpose and the woman it honors.

THE BRUISE BROTHERS WILL PLAY AT 3:00!

Doll sculptures by Amber Groome
Paintings by Jim Bloom




And at 9:00 a special performance by ANNA AND THE ANNADROIDS, the Annadroids relate to Amber's dolls in such a wonderfully bizarre way it seemed like the perfect match!

AMBER GROOME {Columbus, OH}
in her own words….
“Each doll that I make is one of a kind as well as handcrafted. They are symbolic in their afflictions. For me, My dolls are a testimony to the trauma and sorrow of being female and living with mental illness. When I create the dolls, I become absorbed and preoccupied with internal conflict as well the private depths of my childhood and psyche. The dolls are adored and loathed by me at the same time. I prefer to have them viewed in large quantities so they appear to be even more obsessive and detailed in nature.”


JIM BLOOM

Jim Bloom was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1968. He moved to Philadelphia in the mid 1980s, where he currently lives. Bloom attended Temple University in 1988 intending to study film, but left after his introductory year. From childhood on, Bloom has been making visual art that is directly related to his own experiences, particularly of human interaction, relationhsips, and society, as well as his interests in film, story-telling, and the visual languages of his culture. Influences include artists Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, and Red Grooms, who Bloom says impacted him early on with a sense freedom and boldness of expression which he extends to his own vision and work. Bloom’s recent large scale expressive, colorful, textured paintings have evolved from signature drawing and collage styles which the artist has developed and honed since childhood. Whichever medium he chooses, Bloom’s work captivates and draws the viewer into a created world that is a mirror of contemporary reality from his perspective. Portraits or scenes often evoke film stills loaded with information about the subjects depicted and the artist himself, telling stories with biting wit and irony, often incorporating text. Bloom says he wants to make artistic images that function like television; to capture the eye and quickly convey a message or feeling that will leave a lasting impact on the viewer.
