Gateway Gallery Artist Jerry Schmutz wins project with St. Louis Community Foundation.

Photograph by Jerry Schmutz

Just after Labor Day Jerry completed an installation of ten large (34” X 36” and 36” X 48”) enlarged photos in the office spaces of the St. Louis Community Foundation, located in the Federal Building on Fourth Street, downtown St. Louis. The president and CEO of the organization was referred to Jerry's artwork by an associate who had purchased one of his pieces in an art fair earlier in the summer. She hung it in her office, and the piece generated some buzz in the office, which led to an opportunity for Jerry to make a presentation of a number of photos that could be adapted for their common office spaces. The photos were laminated on foam core and backed with gator board for hanging. The production work was done by The Composing Room on Southwest Avenue in St. Louis.

Gateway Gallery Artist Jerry Schmutz Commissioned by Webster University.

Jerry was awarded a commissioned project for Webster University. Their president and vice president were to travel to Beijing in early September to make a presentation in respect of the 50th anniversary of the collaboration between Webster and the Chinese Language and Culture Institute there. They needed a nice gift to go along with the presentation as well as some photos to use for their PowerPoint presentation in China. Jerry was asked to get some photos of the then-running Chinese Lantern Festival at the St. Louis Botanical Garden in order to pair up a photo representing the Chinese culture with a photo of an iconic St. Louis scene or object. The composite double matted and framed photo would be presented to the Chinese during their visit and presentation. Webster chose a Chinese Lantern photo and paired it with a fairly traditional photo of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. A memorial inscription was embedded in an opening of the double mat in English and in Chinese. The president and vice president signed the mat spaces with their personal goodwill wishes. The project was completed and FedEx ed to China just in time for the presentation. Their feedback was that they “hit it out of the park” with this one. It was very well received.

More Art from Featured Artist Sheldon Johnson

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.

More Art from Featured Artist John Barhydt

Tunnel by John Barhydt

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.

More Art from Featured Artist Vic Barr

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.

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.
