The other night I found myself in Old City for First Friday where I stopped by the 3rd Street Gallery, the Clay Studio, and the Rodger La Pelle Galleries. There were plenty of paintings, photographs, ceramics, and more to see, but here are some of the artists that caught my attention.
The show at Jolie Laide on First Friday included the slick, decorative surfaces of Robert Horvath in the main space, in the alley the funky DIY installation by Tim Eads, and in the project space the mechanical torture rack of Heather Ramsdale.
Vox Populi kicks off its season with a savory mix of drawings, video, photos and outsider art. While the press release about Jamie Dillon’s solo show is obfuscatory, it appears the artist will once again mine his inner bad boy. Smoke (or at least pictures of smoke) and fire (or at least pictures of fire) make an appearance along with Stuzky, the hermaphrodite, who will do… what? and look like… what? The artist’s lips are sealed.
