Warren Kenny @ Works in Progress Gallery
We are so excited to be featuring Warren Kenny in our gallery space this month for the Second Saturday Art Walk! Warren's exceptionally detailed, brilliantly hued and imaginative colored pencil drawings will fascinate you, as well as make you wonder....what goes on in his head!? Sea creatures from another realm, flamingos, snakes, fish, crustaceans....all share space when Warren's improvisations reach their destination!
The process is as remarkable as the end result....."My art making process is reminiscent of jazz improvisation. At the beginning of a piece I am uncertain of its final form. Since I exclusively use colored pencils, it is impossible for me to change my mind once I go in a certain direction. Colored pencils cannot be erased, but allow for an extreme amount of detail and control. As I flesh out a piece I leave certain spaces open to go back over later as the composition becomes apparent to me. I am fascinated by different textures, colors and all forms of nature. Art to me is about the process as much as it is the final product with each piece usually taking me upwards of 60 hours."
Don't miss this chance to see some truly amazing artwork!
5-9PM 24 22nd St. S. Saint Petersburg.

Event: Public
Reception, Larry Fox: A Point of Departure / New Wood Constructions +
Sculpture
Date/Time: Saturday
evening, January 11, 2014
5:00 – 9:00
pm [to coincide with Art Association St. Pete’s Second Saturday ArtWalk]
Exhibit Dates: January 11 –
February 5, 2013
Description: Omena,
Minnesota wood sculptor Larry Fox combines his background in architecture with
his current body of work to create deep wall-relief and free-standing
sculptures in wood and mixed media. Most of the work features a rich, deep
palette of fall colors such as rust, browns, cream, oranges, reds and
goldenrod. Decorative at first glance,
his work commands further introspection to question what appears to be
impossibly-achieved angles and disappearing curves in striated, sculptural
wooden relief ‘blocks.’ He achieves a
beauty and sophistication through his use of applied canvas and a variety of
textures applied to each wooden form, and most of the pieces are mobile in the
sense that many of the smaller works can be hung vertically, horizonally or in
infinite compositions. His work is
represented throughout the U.S. and in Florida through Michele Tuegel
Contemporary.

The
Duncan McClellan Gallery proudly presents the MIT GLASS LAB with Peter
Houk, Martin Demaine and Erik Demaine. The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) Glass Lab community is composed of a diverse and
ever-changing group of people ranging from MIT undergraduate and
graduate students to MIT alumni to glass art professionals invited into
the program to enrich the Glass Lab experience.
At 5pm on Saturday, January 11th, the gallery doors will open to reveal the creativity that flows out of MIT including truly inspirational collaborations and individual pieces.
While you browse, enjoy an adult beverage, soda or water for a donation from our custom bars (All donations benefit the DMG School Project).
On Sunday, January 12, 2014 at 2pm, listen to Peter Houk, Martin Demaine and Erik Demaine lecture at Hot Gatherings, Cool Conversations, DMG School Project’s Visiting Glass Artists Series at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg. Come early and enjoy brunch at 1pm with a 15% off “HotShop” discount (not to be used in conjunction with museum membership discounts) and receive a free mimosa. An Artists’ Reception and glass blowing demonstration at Duncan McClellan Gallery will immediately follow the lecture. http://fine-arts.org/
About the artists:
Peter Houk took up the leadership of the MIT Glass Lab in 1997. His artwork ranges from intimate pieces in which the blown, sandblasted and painted vessel is used as a vehicle for landscape, to sculptural work-sometimes on a large scale-installed in architectural settings.
Here's a great video featuring Peter Houk, made at the Tacoma Museum of Glass:
http://www.youtube.com/
Martin L. (Marty) Demaine is an artist and mathematician, and after studying glassblowing in England, he began his artistic career by blowing art glass in New Brunswick in the early 1970s. His was the first one-man glass studio in Canada. Since joining MIT, Demaine blows glass as an instructor at the MIT Glass Lab; his newer work features innovative glassblowing techniques intended as a puzzle to his fellow glassblowers. Marty is also the father of MIT Computer Science professor and MacArthur Fellow, Erik Demaine.
Erik Demaine, known as a child prodigy, entered Dalhousie University in Canada at the age of 12, completed his bachelor's degree at 14 and completed his PhD when only 20 years old. Erik joined the MIT faculty in 2001 at age 20, the youngest professor in the history of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Erik and Martin Demaine’s joint mathematical works focus primarily on the mathematics of folding and unfolding objects out of flat materials such as paper and on the computational complexity of games and puzzles.
Here is a video featuring work by Erik and Martin Demaine. http://www.youtube.com/
Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, noon-5pm and by appointment.
Exhibit runs 1/11/14 to 2/3/14
