Art Fair Weekend at Gateway Gallery

Except for Friday night, the weather this past weekend was really great for an art fair. There was a lot of rain and some pretty bad winds Friday night which caused damage to some of the tents and artwork at the fair. Saturday and Sunday was sunny and not too hot. The humidity was not too high and most of the time there was a breeze.

We were pleased that a lot of visitors to the St. Louis Art Fair also stopped in to visit the with the artists at Gateway Gallery and see the art. Quite a few of those visitors also purchased art. A lot of regular Gateway fans stopped in but we also saw a lot of new faces and enjoyed meeting them. Most of the gallery artists spent time at the gallery on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so that visitors could talk to the them about their work.

GATEWAY GALLERY IN CLAYTON PRESENTS

“Silhouettes Tell Stories”, July 5 – August 17, 2012

Opening reception held for the artist 6-9 p.m. July 20

(Clayton, MO/April 13) Gateway Gallery “Silhouettes Tell Stories” exhibit is about the simple but elegant shapes Joyce Yarbrough cuts with her scissors. In addition, guest artists Linda Wilmes’ paintings and Greg Kluempers’ photography will be on display. This show runs July 5 through Aug 17 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm on Friday, July 20 at 21 North Bemiston Ave, Clayton.

Yarbrough’s contour “drawings” emulate shadows to convey the mystery or mood by their basic mass. Naked silhouettes capture the essence of elegant simplicity to tell a story, often without color or detail, whether the art is a feature cut with fine detail, a child’s profile, or a botanically correct silhouette. A few of the places her work has been shown and collected include the St. Louis Art Museum, museums in China, Pennsylvania and Germany.

After graduation from Missouri University, Yarbrough worked at Hallmark Cards as she continued her studies at Kansas City Art Institute. Traveling to China and Poland has expanded Joyce's view of the world and the heritage of other countries. Throughout her career she has worked in the arts - as a graphic artist, illustrator, art director, marketing coordinator and gallery owner.

Along with her murals, Linda Wilmes is an accomplished Plein Air painter, participating in many of the onsite Plein Air competitions. Her paintings display vivid color, sparkling sunlight and mysterious shadow. Greg Kluempers’ photography explores the relationship of forms, textures and colors of the everyday world, sometimes creating abstract geometrical images.

GATEWAY GALLERY IN CLAYON PRESENTS

“IF THIS BE NOT I”, MAY 23 – JUNE 29

Opening reception held for the artist 6-9 p.m. Friday June 8

Gateway Gallery is excited to be featuring the dynamic abstract paintings of Sheldon Johnson in his exhibit “If This Be Not I”. Guest artists include wildlife photographer Jim Irwin and mixed media artist Marilyn Callahan. This show runs May 23 through June 29 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm on Friday June 8 at 21 North Bemiston Ave, Clayton.

Johnson is known for the vibrant color and brushstroke usage that is apparent in each of his abstracts. This show builds on that foundation with a very large politically based painting reflecting today’s political upheaval and inspired by the work of well known painter Philip Guston. The large oil blends abstraction and surreal elements leaving more conceptual symbols to populate his smaller pieces.

Despite an ongoing commitment to his MFA program at Fontbonne University, Johnson has and continues to exhibit widely in the Midwest including Cedarhurst Museum in Mt Vernon, Il, The Foundry Art Centre at St Charles, Contemporary Art Museum, St Louis, and the Kansas City Artists Coalition Gallery. His work is collected nationwide.

Jim Irwin’s photography is largely directed toward wildlife, using the close-up to capture natural features that are usually missed in real time due to the nature of movement in these animals’ lives and the need for humans to not get too close.

His images give us a chance to see the personalities that emerge. A juried artist for Greater St Louis Art Association and Best of Missouri Hands, you will find Irwin’s work shown widely in the St Louis region.

Marilyn Callahan creates ceramic birds with attitude and pastel mosaic–like compositions whose nature reflects that same colorful and imaginative feel. In both mediums, Callahan manages to create poses and expressions that give a sense of Pixar come to life. She is an arts educator in the Lindbergh Schools whose inspiration is derived from the energy and creative excitement of her young students and it is definitely reflected in her work.

“PASSAGEWAYS”, APRIL 4 – MAY 18

Opening reception held for the artist 6-9 p.m. APRIL 13

(Clayton, MO/Feb 24, 2012) Gateway Gallery brings the photographic statements of resident artist John Barhydt to its featured artist series in the exhibit “Passageways”. . In Addition, guest artist Michael Anderson will present his heavily textured landscape paintings, including a new large scale canvas. This show runs April 4 through May 18 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm on Friday April13 at 21 North Bemiston Ave, Clayton

Passageways: doors, windows, hallways; these architectural elements are used every day, often without a thought. “On the surface they can be useful and aesthetically pleasing but without looking or passing through them we have no idea what lies beyond.” Likewise, the value of roads and trails primarily focuses on destination, getting us from point A to point B but Barhydt takes a different route. This photographer prefers to concentrate on the beauty of the journey and the intrigue of the unknown which waits for us on the other side of the door.

As a child, John was exposed to the world of film photography and the wet darkroom. “I was hooked on the magic I could create there” he reflects. John’s father taught him developing and printing technique while his grandfather supplied inspiration from stories told through his slide shows. The advent of digital cameras added to his repertoire. The result one sees to this lifelong artist’s evolution is imagery using boldness of color and light that is designed to express the moment.

Michael Anderson is a well known and highly collected artist, illustrator and designer who resides in Belleville, IL.. For 35 years he has exhibited his paintings extensively while collaborating with designers, architects and planners on a series of projects including the St. Louis Science Center, The St. Louis Zoo and Anheuser- Busch. Most recently two 6’ tall works based on archival images were commissioned by the Laclede Gas Company and installed at its new corporate headquarters in St Louis. For this upcoming exhibit, Anderson will unveil a new landscape based large scale canvas.

‘UNDER CONSTRUCTION,” FEB 22 – MARCH 31

Opening reception held for the artist 6-9 p.m. Friday, March 2

Gateway Gallery proudly presents “Under Construction”, an exhibit featuring the woodworking mastery of resident artist Vic Barr. This exhibit runs February 22 through March 31 with an artists’ reception from 6 to 9 pm on Friday, March 2 in their recently new location at 21 North Bemiston Ave, Clayton.

Vic Barr’s woodworking skills are well known and widely appreciated in the St Louis region. His sublimely designed and constructed furniture, jewelry boxes, vessels and even, wooden pens are all one-of-a-kind pieces designed to reveal the wonder hidden beneath the bark of a tree. “I see things in life in the context of building terms; we build families, careers, skills. Everything we are is built on what came before and, what we will be tomorrow depends upon what we build today. We are always under construction. What I build with my hands in my favorite medium –wood - is a concrete and satisfying expression and an extension of the philosophy that has been under construction all my life” explains Barr.

GATEWAY GALLERY

This contemporary American artist began by hammering nails into 2x4’s as a child. As time went on, selective native and exotic hardwoods captured his attention. As a young man, Vic discovered he had an innate talent for forming clean lines and subtle curves in wood. His reputation for quality and artistic merit grew and his signed and commissioned works can now be found from coast to coast and into Europe.

Established in 2004, Gateway Gallery is a co-op art gallery exhibiting 16 regional, award-winning artists whose work range from traditional landscape to contemporary abstraction.

Gateway Gallery Grand Opening ... a Grand Success!

In spite of the unkind freezing rain that couldn't have come at a more inappropriate time, it was quite a party. Thanks to all who ventured out to see the new artwork of both resident artists and guest artists. It was a very festive evening. Some people took us up on our challenge to impress us with their own creative version of black tie attire (see photo below).

Many people left with some very nice door prizes donated by resident artists and local businesses. A number of other happy folks purchased original artworks, photographs, greeting cards, and more.

We encourage those of you who decided not to risk a fender bender to come in to see the work before the show ends on February 17.
