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.

Guest artist, Jim Irwin, photographs mostly nature and wildlife. As a veterinarian, his interest in animal photography should be of no surprise. Jim sees animal photography as a way of bringing more than just color or design to a wall but rather a dimension of personality as well. The close-up view enables one to see the natural features that are usually missed in real life due to all the movement and surrounding distractions. In effect, a "personality" seems to appear. Jim’s goal is to capture this "personality" in an artistic fashion that can be displayed in a person’s home for regular enjoyment. His interest in animal art is directed more toward wildlife rather than toward the more common domestic animals. The photography creates an environmental awareness that may even translate into improving animal welfare, especially for the African species. Through environmental abuse, habitat destruction, poaching and other human interactions the future of many of these animals is in doubt. This special photography of these species can provide a chance to enjoy their being and hopefully they will survive. Jim is a juried artist for the Greater St. Louis Art Association and the Best of Missouri Hands.

Guest artist, Garry McMichael, has been traveling the back roads of Middle America, especially the Ozarks, capturing its beauty with the camera, charcoals, pastels and paint for thirty years. Garry is constantly searching for those fleeting moments when the landscape, the atmospheric conditions and the ever-changing light come together in a flash of visual inspiration. Whether you are inspired by the ebb and flow of the Mississippi River, a quiet walk through the rugged Ozark Mountains or watching a summer thunderstorm roll across the prairie you will appreciate the art of Garry McMichael. Garry is actively involved with the Greater St. Louis Art Association and President of the Gateway Pastel Artists Association.
