Sneak Peek: Fantastic Narrative

As you know, we are in the middle of preparing for the opening of 'Fantastic Narrative' around here at Brumfield's Gallery.  The event will take place on Saturday from 7 - 9 p.m. here at the gallery.

We thought you'd like a little sneak peek at some of the works currently going up on the walls…

Joseph Cowman, a local artist, delivered the four pieces he'll have in the show.  They're all from the same series focusing on the four elements.  You can find him on our inventory here.

'Wind'

'Fire'

'Earth'

'Water'

We also received one of the newest pieces from Bill Carman today.  You can find the rest of his work here.

'Rider Rodent'

Additionally, we received a shipment from Kyla Zoe Rafert, including the two pieces destined for this most imminent show (one you may recognize from the invitation).  The rest of her work, for two different upcoming shows, can be found here.

 'West Indies'

'Flower Chain'

To finish out the show, we will also be showing some of Gary McCauley's work.  The rest of his work can be found on our inventory here.

'Out of the Unremembered and Into the Unknown'

 'Broken Things'

'James Never Knew He Was Different'

If you'd like to read more about any of these artists, don't forget that we always post each show's press release on our Scribd page.

Both Bill Carman and Joseph Cowman will be coming to the opening on Saturday, so be sure to stop by to chat them up!

Gallery Updates

With some new arrivals coming in last week, we thought you'd like to see some of the new additions recently added to the gift gallery…

We received ceramics from Lollipop Pottery, located out of Ohio.  The pieces range from mugs, shot glasses, plates, bowls, and tumblers.  Each porcelain piece is thrown by Tyson Geib and later decorated by his wife Jessica with decals inspired by her original pen and ink drawings.

The four 'themes' we have here at the gallery are monsters, skunks, birds, and skulls - so you can pick from whatever category suits you best!

 

Short Mugs, $24 each

Dish, $18 each

 Tall Mugs, $30 each

Shotglasses, $14 each

The other shipment of goodies we received came from Uncle Goose, located in Michigan.  This unique little company specializes in wooden blocks with a modern twist.  Uncle Goose strives to combine old-fashioned techniques with contemporary aesthetics to make simple, creative toys for a increasingly technological age.

Stack and Scare Set #1, $48

The very last update we have today is a preview of our invite for the next exhibition here at the gallery. 'Fantastic Narrative' opens Saturday, April 12 and will feature pieces from Bill Carman, Gary McCauley, Kyla Zoe Rafert, and Joseph Cowman.  The idea behind this group show lies in the personal sense of fantasy each of these four artists explores in his or her work.  

You can find information about this show and each of these artists on our website and our online inventory.  You can also find the press release for this show on our Scribd account.  Happy reading!
