Welcome To My Evil Empire: Paintings, Photographs, and Signs
New works by Beth Grundvig, Daniel Dienelt, and Kyle SilerMay - June 2008ARE YOU READY TO ROCK???Of course you aren't. I'm not ready to rock. I have an art gallery to run.ARE YOU READY TO COME TO A KILLER ART SHOW?Yeah? Well ok! 'Cause I'm having one!KILLER ART SHOW ARTIST'S RECEPTIONTHURSDAY MAY 22.7:00WELCOME TO MY EVIL EMPIRE: Paintings, Photographs, and SignsNew works by Beth Grundvig, Daniel Dienelt, and Kyle SilerI am so excited to host the work of these three artists in the gallery. So excited I brought out the italics!!!

Overjoyed at the Underpass: Beth Grundvig's stark and realistic urbanscapes are the empty spaces, ends of streets and alleys, the undersides of freeways, dumpsters, puddles, bricks, and beams, building-size and still, life. They're skillfully executed pastels in polaroid color. Wait til you see her twelvetych. Beth's studio is in Emeryville.

I envisioned abstract photography as working well with Beth's pieces, and Daniel Dienelt, an artist in Fort Wayne, Indiana was suggested. I appreciate Daniel's willingness to participate from across the country. Daniel's photography gets manipulated and worked, digitally and physically, through collage and encaustic wax. He frequently shoots with experimental cameras and techniques. I like his sense of composition and subject matter: buildings and skateboarding.

Kyle Siler is an evil genius and if you don't believe it just ask him. No really, do. Kyle's work is the ping and pong of lost and found, sweet and vulgar, profound, banal. It's also hanging from my ceilings, an arch wave of wooden wrath n' luv, and he keeps bringing more. You can check it out here, shot on location in scenic Westport, CA, but be careful because there are some dirty words.
