Dimitry Gerrman: Poetry of Form
Your First Stop for Art Online!
|
Artblogs - Art Blogs:   The Armory Show 2010 Michael Corbin, USA Something interesting happened on my way to Armory Show 2010. It has nothing to do with art ... or maybe it does.
I was riding the #6 train on my way to Grand Central where I had to stop at my hotel, 70 Park Avenue. There was a Hispanic homeless man who was confined to a wheelchair a few feet away from where I was sitting. He was heavyset, had graying hair and was wearing a filthy, gray Old Navy sweatshirt with black pants. On either side of his wheelchair arm rests, he had several cups stacked for donations. He also had several junk bags and strings of whatnots tied to the back of his chair. In his right hand, he held a harmonica that looked like he found it on the street. Every thirty seconds or so, the man raised the harmonica to his mouth, blew a stunningly sour note and sang a few bars of a high pitched tune in Spanish. It was one of those tunes that would make any dog tilt its head in wonder ... or perhaps horror.

The Cooper Gallery announces their featured artist this month is Trisha Lambi. Trisha has this 9th solo exhibition to her name, which is a reflection on the talent of an artist who has only been painting professionally for 7 years. She is from Brisbane however her work is represented all over the world in such far off places as Canada and the USA, Spain, Germany, Ireland and China. Trisha is inspired by Light on Form, and her works have a somewhat neo-classical flavour to them. There is emotion in these paintings and it is as though we are seeing part of a story without knowing the whole of it: we see a glimpse, a moment in time, which make us wonder what is really going on. This is quite deliberate as the artist wants the viewer to make their own analysis of the work. Trisha Lambi has been a Premiere Portfolio at absolutearts.com since 2001. 
Dimitry Gerrman was born in 1955 in Gomel, Belorussia, USSR; a child of communist Russia. Despite the constraints of a communistic era, at an early age he became interested in sculpture and drawing. As a testament to his
remarkable skill, at seven he completed his first sculpture and at 12 he was recognized at the 1967 National Exhibition of Youth Art in Moscow with a Gold Medal for his line etching, “Self Portrait”. Now over 50 years later, Wally Findlay Galleries is taking inspiration from these early years and is pleased to present Gerrman’s first exhibition of both sculpture and drawing. Dimitry Gerrman has been a Member of absolutearts.com since 2009.

An Opening Gourmet Reception will be held Friday, March 12, 2010 at 6 PM. Hampton Olfus has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2008. 
First Street Gallery presents Wendy Gittler : Unmoorings-Displacements in Time and Space during the month of March. Gittler comments, For years, I have been watching the kaleidoscopic and chameleon face of nature and despaired of ever catching its infinite details. Instead, I
chose an alternate route where forms become gestural and iconic and likewise, places are transformed and condensed. These places that were once in specific locations have now become embedded in a temporal-spatial discontinuity similar
to that of theater, cinema, and choreographic sequences. The First Street Gallery promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com. 
Visions Beyond the Horizon : Transformation in the Pacific
was the theme for this years' 31st Annual Research Conference on March 8th and 9th, 2010. Mr. Wayne Quilliam attended the 31st Annual College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Research Conference as the
plenary speaker and presenter on Monday, March 8, 2010. The topic of his presentation on Monday night touched upon that historic moment in 2008 and is entitled APOLOGY. At the closing ceremonies Quilliam also presented a talk about his work where he shared the pride, fame, glory and challenges of the work that he has done throughout
the years. Wayne Quilliam has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2001. 
Thomas Erben Gallery is pleased to present Animate Matter, an exhibition of works by Pia Maria Martin, Dona Nelson, Richard Staub and Rose Wylie. Although from vastly different generations, all four artists are seemingly entrenched in their chosen medium, animating with their available tools and formal vocabularies the materiality and (art) historical references in order to engage the viewer in ways of looking at what ought to be inanimate objects. One can sense a pleasure for drawn-out process and aesthetic experimentation in the work of the participating artists.

The Creative Artist Guild has a new art exhibit at Belleair Landing in Clearwater FL which runs until April 30, 2010.

Lora Vannoord has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2002. The Creative Artist Guild was founded in 1970 as the Dunedin Art Guild and evolved to the Creative Artists Guild in 1978. Since then, it has remained one of the area's most active fine arts organizations.
