Barcelone 1996

Barcelone, 1996, collage on board. Exhibited in Paris: Rose Lave Plus Blanc, 1996; God & Country, 2011.  The collage measure 19.7 x 23.6 inches. Included are two dozen or more Gauloises packages (filter tipped and non-filters!), which were still quite popular in France when this piece was produced.  The drawing on the upper left hand part of the collage is an American Indian Chief statue who cast a shadow from a store window in Barcelona.  I traced the work standing in the street just as the sun was setting through the store windows (you had to be there).

March Madness of Collage : Next Gallery, Denver

IMAGE: G&C SWAN SONG, 2011.

The Madness of Collage, a large group show of collage artists across the planet will open at The Next Gallery in Denver Colorado on 8 March 2013.  I was invited by the curators and jurors, Vernonica Reeves and  Peter Strange Yumi to participate.  My work was first exhibited in Denver in 2006 when I filled The Capsule Gallery, directed by Laurie Lynnxe Murphy with more than 1000 collage works in a show entitled Spelling With Scissors.  The wall to wall to wall to floor to ceiling exhibition was the gallery's swan song and it soon after changed hands.  See a little YouTube video of me dancing in the gallery space.

I originally sent in 7 of my God & Country works on paper – a series I exhibited here in Paris in 2011 at Storie in Montparnasse, but fearing after nearly a month that they were lost in the US and French postal systems, I sent in an additional 7 works.  The moment the second package was mailed the first arrived (of course!).  In total 14 works on paper will be on view in the exhibition.
