Article in Bowling Green Times about Gateway Gallery guest artist Lisa Crisman

Hometown artist with international recognition: Lisa Crisman’s Left Ear Art

Vivid. Bold. Expressionistic. Such terms only begin to describe the artwork of Bowling Green native Lisa Crisman. Crisman always knew she wanted to be an artist, since she was a child.

“I grew up dreaming about making art,” Crisman said. Her father, Durward “Woody” Crisman worked as a jeweler in Bowling Green for 47 years. He was the owner of Woody’s Jewelry and Repair located off the square. Crisman’s first job was waitressing at the old A and W restaurant.

“I also worked at the old Dairy Queen, the one where the Chinese restaurant is now,” Crisman recalled with a chuckle.

GATEWAY GALLERY IN CLAYTON PRESENTS

‘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. Ranging media include oil, pastel, acrylic, watercolor, mixed media, photography, ceramics, and woodworking. Exhibits typically run every six weeks, featuring one of the gallery’s 16 artists as well as three visiting artists. Located in downtown Clayton, Mo., the gallery is walking distance to other galleries and many of St. Louis’ finest restaurants and cafés, making it a “must-stop” destination for art lovers, art collectors and designers.

Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Visit www.GatewayGalleryOnline.com for more information.

More Art from Featured Artist Meg Matson and Guest Artists Crisman, Eultgen, and Tibrewala

Augusta Morning - Acrylic Painting by Meg Matson

Sometimes being an abstract or non- representational painter leaves the artist feeling that they need to prove themselves. A large population of viewers do not understand or "Get" that style of painting and dismiss it as not true art. I have found that I occasionally need to prove myself as an artist by very simply painting a "Pretty" painting.

Ozark Evening - Acrylic Painting by Meg Matson

I found the Sunrise-Sunset theme to be a starting point because everyone can easily relate. It is a nice change for me to switch gears like this but I am always drawn back to working larger, less restricting work that makes the viewer think about what they are looking at rather than being an obvious subject.

But for now I will enjoy a beautiful sunset and my moment of Zen.
