Arthur Price

 

Birmingham artist Arthur Price's work is showing at Gallery 1930,  One of my favorite artist,  and one of my favorite galleries in Birmingham!

Very Véro!

 Véronique Vanblaere is the owner of Naked Art Gallery on Clairmont Avenue in the Forest Park neighborhood. I"m a lucky girl, because I just have to walk

 a block from my home to pop in and see what's new!  This is one delightfully fun and funky art gallery,  and she features 60 artists from all over the South.  She's a talented artist herself,  so be sure and have a look at her work.  Today, a few shots but I have more to share.

You can follow them on Facebook here.

Cuban Art And More

I had the pleasure of visiting one of B'ham's newest art galleries last night.  Avondale Bricks Gallery not only has a fitting tribute to the late  Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, but also a fine collection of Cuban art.  Stephen Humphreys, publisher of Birmingham Weekly and gallery owner is sharing art by eight Cuban artists that he has met over the past 15 years as a frequent visitor to Cuba.  His photographs are a natural addition to the exhibit as well.  Greeting you at the door are the colorful totem inspired sculptures by local artist Dick Jemison.  Today, one of his sculptures with a few of Stephen's photographs in the background.

Yard Art

( 4 1/2 feet tall, weighing 70 pounds)

This wonderful piece of sculpture is on display in the front of Naked Art Gallery on Clairmont Avenue. It's just down the street from my house so I get to enjoy it many times a day. I finally parked and took some photographs last week.  The local artist is Lily Reeves and this is how she's titled her piece:

" We wonder sometimes in the life of the light just how daydreams and time do make things,

and we wonder too, still, since the lasting just might be as strange or as quite as it seems."

After Hours

Well this place, located on 2nd Avenue North in downtown Birmingham looks like a gallery I need to revisit when they open!
