All of our hard work has paid off and this month's first thursday was a great success. The crowd mosied in like George Jones' first appearance shortly before set-break. Many faces were familiar this month, and many were brand new. Thanks to all of the art connousiers, that habitually line the streets of the Pearl District and beyond, every first thursday. This affair also brought out a fine smattering of local, and national artists, to support not only art, but the fine line between politics and art; however subtly, or blatantly endorsing Obama. How are we to judge here at Eyeful Gallery, we can't. That is left to our fine viewers, and patrons. We are only creating art, not criticizing it, that's left to the Greenbergs, Apollinaires, etc
Thankfully we still have plenty of delicious blackberry's to eat, and that is far more than most of us need to keep inspired and making art, since we are of course all starving artists in one fashion or another. Still who isn't starving for something, perhaps longing, or pining at the very least
The stylish glass art on display, draws the people in off the street, like the shimmering glint of gold leafed statuettes. The wild organic shapes waving through space suspended and fused to the serenity of the viewing event. How does one capture that feeling? Someone once described art like a virgin, and laying eyes upon it, like making love. The experience has also been likened to fine wine, magic, dancing, or music and it is easy to see how art, and more specifically glass blowing are akin.
Speaking of music the evening was graciously set to a romantic soundtrack that could easily nestle itself around the arms of a Parisian debutante, by two lovely street performers, on saw and accordion. This month also saw the addition of Alec Berg to the Eyeful Gallery walls and thanks to his contributions many people were treated to an eyeful of his 2-dimensional works.
