Gallery Flux Featured in the RTD

"The first pair of earrings were miniature mobiles. They were heavy, pretty ugly and did not move well. I grew up thinking Alexander Calder was a god. Metal as a material and the work of Calder were my early influences. The work moved and was cold joined. My work took another direction as my interests in new techniques and/or materials developed. Gems became a part of my work as a need to explore the dimension of a secondary material. The antique button work is a result of my interest in the buttons and their history. The braided horsehair work is a result of my interest in the art of braided horsehair. " -Louise Ellis

Dan Michael on Zero Hour

Last Wednesday, September 17th, Dan Michael was interviewed by Zero Hour.

Zero Hour is a radio broadcast hosted by Tim Bowring and our owner, Hugh Joyce. "Every Wednesday we explore Hanover’s and the surrounding metro Richmond’s thriving art scene and the people who make it happen", explains the Zero Hour hosts. Take a moment to listen to the interview given by Hugh Joyce and special guests, Tammy Teefey-Conti. In the interview, Dan explains his beginnings, process, and inspiration!


Three Urns
Pastel
18 x 18 in

"After 25 years as a graphic designer and illustrator, Dan Michael began painting full-time in 2008. The majority of his work is produced on-site at locations near his home in Hanover County, Virginia. His approach to painting involves hundreds of scumbled strokes and marks of pigment, organized into patterns of shape and value, the result is a representation of reality. These arrangements of pastel marks go beyond a mechanical process, they are orchestrated to try and capture the elusive qualities of light and atmosphere that display the extraordinary characteristics of common subject matter." -Zero Hour

Portrait of the Horse

Portrait of the Horse

Fine Art by Marilyn Borglum

Exhibit Oct. 2 - Nov. 28, 2014

Gallery Artist, Marilyn Hageman Borglum, will be exhibiting her newest equestrian artwork along with her urban drawings.

Gallery Flux would like to invite you to be a special part of our upcoming show, Portrait of the Horse: Fine Art by Marilyn Borglum opening on Thursday, October 2nd.

Marilyn, who is a nationally known equine artist, will be in town October 1st through October 5th to visit barns and gather information needed for your personal commissions. We are in the process of scheduling appointments and don’t want you to miss out on this unique opportunity. Please call us to set up your appointment at 804.752.3540!

Marilyn earned her Masters of Fine Arts degree in Painting with a strong emphasis in Lithographic printmaking. Her work during this period focused on the form and gesture of the horse, which had long been a theme throughout her years in art school as well as in her formative years. All of Marilyn's work is strongly rooted in traditional and formal skills along with problem solving, which is evident in her work. In addition to her gestural equine drawings, Marilyn is intrigued with painting life-size horses. Her drive and desire to depict the horse on a grand scale is shared by other artists in her family, the most celebrated of the lineage being Gutzon and Solon Borglum, both recognized for their monumental work of horses and figures. Gutzon of course is best known for the commissioned work Mount Rushmore Memorial and the torch for The Statue of Liberty. She and her three sons reside west of Chicago in Saint Charles Illinois.


Visit Gallery Flux on October 2nd for your chance to meet Gallery Artist, Marilyn Hageman Borglum! Don't forget to schedule an appointment to have a personal commission done by the artist, available October 3rd and 4th!

Opening Reception: Thursday, October 2nd from 5:30-8 pm
Second Opening Reception: Thursday, November 6th from 5:30-8 pm
On exhibit October 2nd through November 28th

Virginia Art Chat--CANCELLED

The VA Art Chat has been cancelled. Due to a family emergency, Lisa Freiman will not be speaking this Saturday. We hope to reschedule the Art Chat for a later date. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. 

Don't miss the Virginia Art Chat next Saturday, September 20th, at 1:00pm.
Lisa Freiman, the Director of the Institute of Contemporary Art, will be our speaker.

Lisa Freiman has her doctorate and master's degrees in Modern and Contemporary Art History from Emory University. She earned her bachelors of arts degree from Oberlin College. Freiman is described as "an internationally recognized curator and leader in the contemporary art field". In addition to her many accomplishments, Lisa Freiman served as the senior curator and chair of the contemporary art department at the Indianapolis Museum of Art for eleven years.

The ICA, which has been described as "Richmond's missing piece", broke ground this past June and is expected to open in 2016. The building will function as a non-collecting contemporary art institution, meaning the collections will be ever changing. Freiman states, "My dream is that the ICA will not only become a cultural hub for the Richmond community, but will be a place of inspiration and exploration for the Commonwealth and cultural tourists. Our focus will be on a fresh slate of changing, experimental exhibitions, performances, films and programs – both inside and outside the museum – that encourage in-depth consideration into the central issues of our time."

The Virginia Art Chat will be held in the Annex, 302 England Street. Please join us for refreshments before and after the Art Chat with Lisa Freiman, Director of the Institute of Contemporary Art.

During the reception visitors enjoyed refreshments, catered by Homemades by Suzanne, while listening to the acoustic sounds of Thomas Wakefield.

We would like to congratulate artists, Lisa Neher, David Camden, Amy HR Donahue, and Charles Sthreshley, on the sale of their artwork during the reception!
