Saturday, July 3, 2010. From the stairway to the heavens - Joanna Langford. Series moves away from her 'stairways to heavens', and finds us up above the streets amongst the clouds in an urban skyline clutterd with aerials, and cell phone towers. Delicate threads 'draw' silhouettes of masting lit by tiny LED lights that glow from their uppermost tips. Posted by Mary Newton Gallery. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mary Newton Gallery: Tom Sladden's 'Sleepers'
http://marynewtongallery.blogspot.com/2010/06/tom-sladdens-sleepers.html
Saturday, June 19, 2010. Included six new paintings by Tom Sladden. The substrates on which all of the images in this exhibition are painted have a pre-history - sometimes marks from their former lives, sometimes holes from screws and protrusions. Is a good example of Tom's interest in what isn't painted, what isn't said - and the holes and marks circle the blocks of colour adding to the atmosphere around them. Study for everything I know.

Wednesday, June 16, 2010. John Roy and the art of denial. John Roy is one of the three artists in Duck! Currently on at the gallery.

Primarily figurative, it sets up associations between us and the things that we create - like buildings, the rabbit problem, relationships, religion . We recently talked to John about his work. JR: It was keep your head down, I was also the one that came up with Duck! JR: The holes and ...

Saturday, May 22, 2010. Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Daddy. We talked to Scott Eady. About his recent exhibition Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Daddy. Apparently children laugh on average 300 times a day. Adults laugh on average only 15 times a day. Why is that? I guess for adults, it is RESPONSIBILITY and the knowledge that innocence is only short-lived. Give a child a few blocks of ‘Dukit’ (bakeable modelling plastcine) and within minutes the baking tray will be full with playful,...The refer...

Mary Newton Gallery: don't worry, be happy
http://marynewtongallery.blogspot.com/2010/09/dont-worry-be-happy.html
Saturday, September 4, 2010. Don't worry, be happy. We talked to Brit Bunkley. Recently about his latest work in don't worry, be happy. MNG: You often include animals in your work that are distorted by human interaction - the sheep with jets under its skin, the cow with the train roller-coasting through it. I am an optimist and believe that human creativity, humor and rational critical thinking can improve our future as long as it is acted upon. As Noam Chomsky says, we don’t know what lies in ...MNG: In...

Tuesday, March 23, 2010. We talked to Megan Hansen-Knarhoi recently about her latest work in Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious. MNG: What is the attraction of wool? MHK: Wool, string, cotton and yarn are the materials that have a constant presence in my life. They’re the materials I’m most attracted to and enjoy working with. To me the question “What is the attraction of wool? 8221; is difficult to answer. It would be like asking a painter “What is the attraction of paint for you? MHK: Christianity has an impe...
