OPENING NIGHT – PIX !!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nREBECCA MORGAN . . with the limited edition, custom design ‘Corn Cob Bumpkin’ ‘Handkerchief’\/ ‘bandanna’,
\nROCK SOUP produced for her, $25.
\nyes !! of course, I got one – when they first came out.
\nsee: ROCK SOUP<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nRebecca Morgan, hand-built porcelain jugs.
\nI had only seen these in photographs \/ it was<\/strong> such a great exhilaration to examine them in the – round.
\nI am also, absolutely c-r-a-z-y – for the gallery’s . . authentic \/ raw, up-cycled space !!
\nthese are raw, new visions \/ like most of the work on this gallery’s agenda – and, they are not quite ready to be behind static, sacred ‘museum’ display cases yet !!
\ncome on . . art world, let the new art: rebel<\/strong>, revel<\/strong>, and . . reveal<\/strong> !!
\na little bit first, before you encase them – with ‘certified’ branding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nnow that’s a . . . fierce one.
\nmore like a tantric Tibetan Buddhist god of death, change . . & warning \/ a guardian.
\nthan a clueless, horny . . ‘ruralist’, lol.
\nREBECCA MORGAN, ‘Oatmeal Jug’, 2015.
\nPorcelain \/ 6.50 x 4 x 3.50 in.
\n($1,400.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nshe might be a dirty girl (!!), but she sure looks sweet – to me.
\nREBECCA MORGAN, ‘Dirty Girl’, 2014.
\noil on panel \/ 20 x 18 in.
\n($2,800.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthis bloke – was a fav.
\njust something about how the face is modeled, really fascinated me.
\nprob coming from the use of . . graphite, as well as oil paint.
\nREBECCA MORGAN, ‘Hunter or Hipster Male’, 2012.
\nGraphite & oil on panel \/ 26 x 22 in.
\n($3,200.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMARK THOMAS GIBSON, with his found puppy Mars, short for Marsden Hartley.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nnow here is a guy who just radiates with a secret, street smart, folktale, & maybe even, political . . sense of humor, and an down-to-earth self-awareness.
\nL: MARK THOMAS GIBSON, ‘Self-Portrait – Beach Front’, 2019.
\nink on paper, 55 x 76 in.
\n($8,000.)
\nR: MARK THOMAS GIBSON, ‘Self-Portrait – Sunshine State’, 2019.
\nInk on paper, 55 x 76 in.

\nInk on paper \/ 55 x 76 in.
\n($8,000.)
\nit kinda says to me . . I give-up \/ this world is<\/strong> nuts.
\nit’s raw, but tender \/ cartoonish – but straightforward.
\nvery <\/strong>thrilling, in fact. in a quiet, under-the-radar way.
\ngreat draftsmanship \/ great compositioon, but above all – heart-strings pulling \/ funny.
\ncome on, lighten up world \/ crack a few jokes.
\nit’s got that gentle humor of ‘Uncle Remus’.
\nbut make no mistake, underneath it all – is an abstract painter !!
\njust consider the lyrical wash of the color, and the dreamy yet tight, infra-structure.<\/p>\n

little did<\/strong> I know what kind of busy bee \/ hard-core rebel artists hornets nest,
\nI was about to kick over – when I innocently stepped into this upstate scene \/ acting on an invite from Daniel Giordano<\/strong> & Samuel Boehm . . <\/strong>\/ of Vicki !!<\/strong>
\nthe most<\/strong> fun scene right now, no holds bared.
\nthe art & the artists . . amped up \/ vibrant, dynamic & well . . . they sucker-punch it – to ya.
\nevery time.
\nno doubt about it. <\/p>\n
