New show: A FEW LETTERS
New Group Exhibition at AG Gallery
A FEW LETTERS
May 4 – June 24, 2012
 |
| Bear with few words by Kerry Layton |
For Immediate Release
AG Gallery/About Glamour in Williamsburg is pleased to present a group exhibition, “A FEW LETTERS,” by seven emerging artists from all over the US and the UK, Adam Regester, Elisa Sandoval, David Roan, Kerry Layton, Kristin Bauer, Melissa Gorman, and Sue Johnson. All the works in this exhibition have some connections with a beauty of “word(s)” and “letter(s) floating in the world”.
Sometimes a word, even a letter, seems like a figure has an own expression. A sentence creates a flow of a few words with rhythms, then a paragraph looks like an irregular patterns on textiles. We receive feeling and expression from the line of words even from names of people, titles of books or logos of products. Currently, artist books and zines are known as the mainstream of media among young artists, also a word or a letter itself could be considered an interesting component of artworks. On this exhibition, you will see various ways of approach toward inclusion of a few letters into the artworks and how amazing they are.

Adam Regester
Lives and works in Brighton, England, UK. He has been painting and creating for over 25 years. He loves paint and creating craft items with different mediums and he is inspired by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Picasso, Matisse and other impressionist artists. He likes to break down images into basic forms and shapes then recreate those images as mixed media designs.
Elias Sandoval
Lives and works in Chicago, IL. In her work she explores the idea of the temporary both as a material structure and subject. Much of her material is paper and found material which signifies something that is temporary and easily manufactured and disposed of. Combining and utilizing patterns, she creates tension to explore possibilities in the work’s construction.
David Roan
Lives and works in Philadelphia, PA. He is a discerning son of a gun who has become a product of his own mind. Aspiring maker-of-things, progressive thinker and citizen of existence, this native San Franciscan prays to the god of Repurposing. Whether it’s making a shelf out of an old N.E.S. console or creating an art piece out of hanging folder wires, he sees this way of life as a much-needed respite from the mass-produced society in which we live.
Kerry Layton
An illustrator living in North London with her husband and two children. She creates illustrations of a dreaming world of little creatures/animals. She has been working on some commissioned works with magazines besides her own personal projects.
Kristin Bauer
Kristin Bauer is a multimedia artist based out of Phoenix, AZ. Her work incorporates text and image in sculptural works, paintings and multimedia installations. Drawing from a fascination with social Influence Theory, propaganda and American ideals, as well as the power of individual’s personal convictions, Bauer examines and plays with word and symbol in her work, resulting in a combination of social commentary, playfulness and irony.
Melissa Gorman
She is a graphic artist in Brooklyn, New York. Working under the name Company Standard, she creates design that helps her clients share, inform and inspire. She is currently a candidate for an MFA in Design at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and opens to all kinds of free-lance works and collaborations.
Sue Johnson
Her works have been shown nationally and internationally. Born in San Francisco, CA, she currently lives and works in Richmond, VA and Lexington Park, MD. She earned a BFA in Painting from Syracuse University and an MFA in Painting from Columbia University, and studied painting in London, England and Florence, Italy with Syracuse University. “My work is built on traditions of still life, vanitas and memento mori, artefacts of the everyday – the familiar and ephemeral.”

New Exhibition Fall 2011 - AG Gallery
Collages:
Maureen Shields Solo Exhibition
Sept. 2 - Oct. 30, 2011
Opening Night: Friday, Sept 2, 6 - 9 PM
AG Gallery/About Glamour in Williamsburg is pleased to present
a solo exhibition by a unique college artist, Maureen Shields.
We exhibit one of her signature artworks, collages on wood panels and on vintage dish plates at this show.
The intent of her work is twofold. First, she hopes to initially attract and ideally seduce, as well as engage the viewer with surface, color, and beautiful and interesting objects. The tone of her work is often at first glance innocent and cheerful. Second, what follows this initial reception of a playful, nearly saccharine veneer is a deeper invitation into a strangely constructed world. The viewer is caught between a delight in the fantastic and a sense of unease or menace. The animal motifs she employs in the work, often times emphasizes the idea of the animal kingdom rather than actual wildlife. Her art works to balance between the whimsical, the grotesque, and the commonplace. She hopes to skew perspective and she seeks to reintroduce the strangeness and complexity associated with childhood without projecting directly onto the specific.

"When we look at the glasswork art in these days, I can only see weak, cheap, and flatter works.
They are called "modem grass art" or "the world grass art" and seen as if they are the real art.
Glass artisans without strong belief and knowledge and the lack of outstanding glasswork art critics obstruct making progress of the art.
The substantial of art is to express nature, society and human beings through clear sense and technics. It means the attribute of glass material doesn't produce any arts.
Marcel Duchamp, a French artist, signed that people in this century has been blind completely to the art. It is also the severe critism to the modern glass art. " ---Takao Sakata

Masako Tono, Illustrator - Born in Japan, currently lives in New York. She learned both illustration and print design in University of Central Oklahoma. To build her own creativity, she uses water color and color pencils. At the same time, she often emphasizes and describes the dark power and gothic mystery throughout using paying attention to the colors black and white.
Kazumi Sakurai, Photographer
- Pictures taking has been a lifelong experience for her. Her strong desire for photography, it was given by her father, who purchased a Nicon SF camera when she was born. After winning several awards and contests in Japan, she started her full-time career as a photographer at the age of 21. Her intimate style and skillful use of light fosters a deep connection between the viewer and the image, revealing a personal aestetic that is reflective of the photographer as it is of the subject.
Mai Endo, Photographer - Born in Japan, currently lives in New York. Through her artwork, she desinates a melting pot of architectural growth which goes unseen. She believes that all her work is a moment of essence captured in time which defines her and everyone's life by the frame.
Noriko Miyawaki, Calligrapher- She has explored her experience in calligraphy since she was four years old. In the meantime, she has won various awards in Japan including her poetry and sketch works. She is one of the members of "Seiko Shodo" which exhibits at the Japanese consulate in New York.
