Here's January's newsletter from Ugallery.com
Greetings Art Lovers, We welcome you back from the long holiday weekend with two prints that ooze exactly what the subject line proclaims - humor and class. Yeah baby. Jeffrey Hale adds some sophistication to our Papework collection with his Modigliani-esque portraits. This piece, "Lonely", captures one of Jeffrey's co-workers with the long mask-like faces, bold colors and elongated features reminiscent of the Italian painter. I had the opportunity to interview Jeffrey last April, and he's had a special place in my heart ever since. He told me about the art world in Salt Lake City, his unique take on color theory ("I don't agree with the concept that only certain colors are aesthetically pleasing together."), and his two young children that take up much of his time. He's a genuinely good guy, and we're proud to have him and his belissima artwork as part of our Paperwork community. Next up this week is Charlie Cawley, a Paperwork veteran contributing his second piece to the site. Charlie is a weird guy, and that's what we love about him. He embraces the quirkier side of life from within the frames of his camera lens. Many of Charlie's shots document humorous or surreal scenes that he spots from the window of his car. When I asked about "Caught!", Charlie responded: "sometimes I feel more like a hunter of images than I do a photographer." I loved that idea. Without futher fuss, enjoy the art and the rest of your short week. Artfully yours, Bailey | ||||||
