More Gallery Hop at Castleberry Hill (and gallery dog)

I continued my December 12th gallery hop at Castleberry Hill. One of my fellow mavens was a delightful dog, pictured below.

There is a new place, Liana Delgado Studio I didn't met Liana, maybe next time.


It's in the same building as Peters Street Gallery, Artists Trifecta Gallery, and Besharat Gallery. It's on the 2nd floor.


It's a great studio loft space on a corner.


Peters Street Gallery never disappoints. There is always some wit. Here is the cutting board Buddha thing.


The missing body briefcase guy.


Mersad Berber's paintings look like 2000 old studies, preserved just before deteriorating. If you saw Fellini's Roma, you know what I mean. These faded colors attracted me in a gallery filled with vibrant color. I was afraid if I didn't look now, they'd soon be gone.


This is "Aspiration" by Inbar Tolla at Besharat Gallery.


This is Lluís Barba's Monumental "Jardin de las Delicias El Bosco."


Photoshopped to the max.


Denise Jackson's Emerging Art Scene did a Paris themed shindig.


I met Julie Ross and loved her crushed turquoise glass pieces.


Takes all kind of animals to make an art scene.


Zucot Gallery featured Pedro Fuertes.


and Carlos Solis


and Elio Guevara.


Artist Trifecta Gallery was hosting "Fashion Uncorked" in the giant gravel floored room the the Castleberry Point lofts.


I got there a bit late to this extraordinarily space.


I'm a bit tired but I not yet done for the evening.

Alexandro Santana artist reception at Besharat

My camera is not worthy of Alexandro Santana's breathtaking pictures; I can't "get " the colors. You'll just have to see them for yourself at Besharat Gallery in Atlanta. While you are there, sign up to find out about more receptions.

We walked in to see this wall of stunning colors:
















Purple sweaters looked great with the art:


Alexandro could not have been nicer. From Spain, now living in Savannah, Rhode Island School of design. He told us how he did it and signed books for Architecture Tourists Katherine on the left and me (Terry) on the right.

We met some really nice folks from Big Canoe, New York, Paris and... Right: Katherine, Center: Adrian Dannatt


Left: Adrian Dannatt


Oh, how did he do it? "Action Painting" Think colors, mix the colors (turpentine is involved), canvas flat on floor, pour blobs of paint, once the colors set up a bit stand them up, more thinking, more coloring, more knifing...

There are more pictures, see them here slide show. Click the little box on the lower left corner to see it full screen; you'll be glad you did.


Thanks,
Terry

P.S. The Besharat stair is a work of art itself.

Castelberry Hill Art Stroll - November 13, 2009

Above: detail from Kathleen Wilke's "Lady Of The Lake" at Krause Gallery. Click on any picture to enlarge. Here is the whole thing.



Architecture Tourists, Elizabeth, David, Katherine and I enjoyed the Atlanta weather and Castleberry Hill's art last Friday. Here we are out back of Besharat Gallery.



We didn't need to get dressed up. (Roman Zaslonov at Besharat)



We had live plaster casting at the brand new ZuCot Gallery. Here is Amanda Brown of Body Part Art applying the plaster.



And completed butt castes at Niche Gallery.



Will Hooper is a fellow stroller, he's everywhere. It was great see some of his work at Raw Space Gallery. Will is on the right





We met Cedric McNeal.



And Kim Wolfe (on the right)



Corrina Sephora Mensoff does architectural metal work, metal sculptures, quilts and a lot more, I'll bet.



Craig Dongoski (left) is showing at Gallery Stokes. Mr. Dongoski is assistant professor at Georgia State University.



Here is Fabian Williams' "Material Girl" a knockout.



We got a little rest at Krause-Gallery on their cool rockers.



I loved these guys by Helen Durant at Krause Gallery.



Don't miss the hallway beside Krause...



..because you might find work by the "Mad Man " himself.



Don't miss Peters Street Framers next to Besharat.



And while you are at Besharat, go outside and see their beautiful building...



Where you might find this Laure Krug sculpture.



Whew, I'm tired and there are many more pictures to see. Here they are:



Thanks,
Terry
