Flamingo Clay Studio Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery Presents “The Male Form”
Opening on Friday, August 5 6-10 PM
On Friday, August 5, from 6-10 PM, the Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery will fill with images and sculptures of “The Male Form.” This exhibition was spurred by the many artists who wanted equal expressions of appreciation for the “male.” So many exhibitions extol the landscapes of the bodies of work of women, and artists demanded equal time for men. As a gallery of equal opportunity for all artists, CGMStone agreed; thus, “The Male Form.” We eagerly await the surprise interpretations expected to appear as this show is being hung.
Prominently featured will be the newest works of artist Bea Doone-Merena. Bea is a prolific artist who has been adopted by the gallery as a regular friend and exhibitor. Her works are meticulous and striking portraits of the world around her. 87 year old Bea is the mother of ten and began painting in her mid sixties. She paints enormous canvases, spending hours each day in her studio. She still has time to keep up with her 22 grandchildren. Another bea, sculptor Beatriz Beckers, showcases a piece titled, “Addiction.” Maria Paz has spent weeks and weeks on her paintings for this show. Her works are sought after by a large group of fans and collectors.
The studio artists have been busy, for weeks, creating works for this show. Sculptures and functional arts works will be positioned on pedestals throughout the front of the gallery for this exhibit. Almost everyone in the Flamingo Clay Studio on South F Street has come up with a quirky interpretation of this show.
A wine and cheese reception with the artists will be held on opening night. The show and parking are free to the public.
