Paul Otto, New Guest Artist at Gateway Gallery October 3 - November 19, 2012
GATEWAY GALLERY IN CLAYTON PRESENTS “Art in Architecture”, October 3 – November 19, 2012.
Guest artist, Paul Otto is a native of Chicago, currently residing in Lake St. Louis, Missouri. He was formally educated in the field of architecture, receiving his bachelor's degree from Kansas State University. He is a registered architect and this architectural background has greatly influenced his photography. He has received acclaim in a number of one man shows and national juried exhibitions. His style is best described as representational though not necessarily literal, and it is generally characterized by bold composition accompanied by a sense of stillness and serenity. The subject matter is varied, reflecting his interest in nature and architecture. The prints are silver gelatin prints made from large format film negatives and each is an original which has been individually printed and numbered by the artist. They have been archivally processed, printed on the finest fiberbase photographic papers and matted with acid free 100% rag museum board to insure print longevity.

Phillip Perschbacher, New Guest Artist at Gateway Gallery October 3 - November 19, 2012
GATEWAY GALLERY IN CLAYTON PRESENTS “Art in Architecture”, October 3 – November 19, 2012.
The art of guest artist Philip Perschbacher is focused primarily with the human form. Philip uses materials such as clay, plaster, paint, paper, and various drawing techniques to depict the human body. Sculpting the human form is a noble endeavor. The knowledge of rhythm, movement, balance, as well as anatomy brings life to a sculpted form. His inspiration is from nature. He hopes that his sculpture will communicate the beauty of nature in a form that is contemporary for our times. Philip received a B.F.A. in Drawing and Sculpture from Webster University in 2003. In 2002 he studied at Webster University in Vienna, Austria and has made several trips to Germany and Italy since then. Philip received his M.F.A. in Sculpture from the New York Academy of Art in 2005. In 2006 Philip was hired as a professor at the age of 24. He has received numerous commissions both public and private.

Artist Greg Matchick has been photographing Europe for more than a decade and he has included many of these architectural features in his images. His "Art in Architecture" exhibit presents a collection of some of his favorite images on the subject. This show runs October 3 through November 19 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm on Friday, October 19 at 21 North Bemiston Ave, Clayton.
Greg Matchick is a self-taught St. Louis based photographer and resident artist at Gateway Gallery. His nature photography has been published nationally and his fine art photography has become part of private collections internationally.

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

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.

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.
Several artists painted at the gallery and created some fun pieces.
