SYD MEAD "TIMELINE" & "THE FUTURE" CLOSING PARTY
We will be hosting a closing party on SATURDAY, MAY 13th, 2006 from 7:00 - 10:00 pm for the two exhibitions currently on display at the gallery. "TIMELINE" is a solo show of works by SYD MEAD and "THE FUTURE" is a group exhibition featuring many of our favorite artists. See earlier posts for the names of the artists included.
Since the openings were held the evening before EASTER Sunday, we wanted to provide a chance for people to attend a reception for this show. SYD MEAD will unfortunately be away that weekend and unable to attend. Some of the artists from THE FUTURE show will most likely show up and complimentary refreshments will be served during the hours of 7 - 9 pm.
There are still some great pieces available for sale from both shows and we hope you can make it. There will be some print deals as well specifically for that evening too!

SYD MEAD IS THE ISAAC ASIMOV OF DESIGN, GODAMMIT.
I became aware of his awesome artistry back in the early 70's.
They were one-page ads in U.S. News & World Reports.
(My Dad had a subscription.
I 'et it all up.)
Future shit done in a fast,
almost Frazetta-manque
kind of Renoir Impressionism,
(I don't know what the hell that means.) But I knew a good thing when I saw it and reverently trimmed the sheets and still have them.
It was a series of ads, perhaps by Weyerhauser, run across several issues.
Over the last 30 years, whenever I spot anything of his that's affordable, paperback books, TPB's, whatever...
I scoop it up.
I, also, own several of the Hot Wheels Limo variants.
P.S. Frazetta did a bunch of corporate newsletter paintings of chemicals personified for DOW CHEMICAL, BTY.
Some sexy shit.
