Meryl Pataky is a San Francisco-based artist finishing her BFA in Sculpture at the Academy of Art University. Working with personal narrative and human condition, she masters the art of mixed media using a variety of materials for their seemingly tactile nature. She says, “I think an object’s inherent meaning vs. its intended meaning can serve as a very intriguing conversation.” Pictured above is “Playground Love.”
Clements Behr’s new show, Black White Everything (and Me), will be at ROJO®artspace Barcelona starting on March 16, 2010.
For the show he will do an “cut during assembly” installation for the Rojo Art Space Barcelona. Using the existing colors of the gallery’s visual appearance — black walls, white light, wooden ground and a red grid — he decided only to work with those colors, wood and anything else he can find during his stay in Barcelona. Not knowing what materials he will find when in Barcelona is part of the appeal and excitement of Behr’s spontaneous, process-orientated installation.
What: Clements Behr, Black White Everything (and Me)
When: March 16, 2020 – April 30, 2010
Where: ROJO®artspace Barcelona, Carrer Girona 61. 08009 Barcelona, Spain
John Harrison Berry just graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and lives, works and breathes sculptures. I love the organic, almost alive, feel of his works — from “Hold Me Up” to “Titanic.”
Fantastic execution.

Norman Mooney will be showing his new Wall Flower sculptures. The yellow sculpture shown above consists of over 500 aluminum castings all projecting outward four feet off the wall. Another larger wall flower in crimson resin having a diameter of 6-7 feet will also be a part of the exhibition. Also included will be the three final windseeds from a group of six are also cast in aluminum, but seem light enough to move in a breeze and have been likened to dandelion seeds.
Barclay Douglas is an illustrator and designer, but his recent work includes a series of sculptural paintings called “Fools Gold.” The 30″x40″ piece has roughly 40 to 60 plastic bags, ripped up, hardened, and painted gold, representing “the want again of the piece which was once consumed, trashed, and now resurrected.”
I love the sculptural work of Ryuji Nakamura. There’s a delicate aesthetic to his work that I enjoy.
L.A.-based Zack Stadel creates beautiful tapestries from pigmented ink and fabric. Gorgeous!
Floridian artist Mark Creegan’s used watercolor pans have created a beautiful sculpture. Proof that beauty is in the process, indeed!
Resa Blatman creates beautiful and detailed cut-edge paintings, where the ornate cut edges become the painting’s frame. Before even beginning the painting, Resa spends a few months designing the edges of the panels on her computer. I would just love to see one of these in person.
