ABOUT THE
ARTISTS:
The lineup is set for the big April painting show to be held at Blue
Genie Art Industries on April 16-17. The show features a
strong and diverse mix of painters from the Austin area. Chris Chappell continues his explorations of
space and color using slightly skewed cityscapes to portray the
beauty his eye sees in the architecture laying waste to this proud
city. Tim Doyle pop inspired paintings show the
influence of his comics and zines. Holly Fisher, who also has a strong animation
background working in Bob Sabiston's studio, creates lushly painted
canvases in an intimate painterly style. Jeanne Hospod's figurative work
concentrates on vibrant colors and an uncanny knack for representing
the figure. Meg Renwick teaches at Laguna
Gloria and has been concentrating on painting her somewhat surreal
visions for over a
decade. San Marcos' resident painter Grady Roper
combines the illustrative nature of his cartoon work with carefully
crafted painting techniques. The slyly tongue in cheek figures
that live in Michael Schliefke's paintings often revel in the
seedier side of the alley, making nods to various painters through
history along the way.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
This is the second painting
exhibition planned and put together by Austin painters Chris
Chappell and Michael Schliefke. In the fall of 2002, they
decided they wanted to pull together some of the stronger painters
in Austin and put on a great painting exhibition. In October
of 2003 this became a reality, as the
'Shoulda
Been a Plumber' show opened at East Austin's Blue Genie Art.
The show featured Philip Trussell, Nathan Jensen, Ethan
Azarian, and James Perrin, in addition to Chris and Michael's work.
There is another plumbing exhibition planned for October of 2004, please
