CJ Metzger and Miss Mindy Show Delightables.


I just did a studio visit with CJ Metzger and Miss Mindy -- WOW!!!

This is going to be a great show...and just in line with the influx
of Women Artists shows. A very exciting time. Go Girls!!


Here is an excerpt from the Press Release:
The work evolves around the notion of women, their friends and relationships in fantastical places - places close to home and those found in reality as well as in our thoughts. Not to be confused with a feminist ideology, this show relishes the important roles that are inherently feminine while at the same time embracing youth and acceptance.
“Exploring the sadness over the loss of a bird, the feeling of manipulation, being trapped by expectations, or simply having butterflies in your belly -- these emotions, love, fear, angst, and humor are vividly present in our work in a whimsical, bittersweet, and hauntingly delicate way.” CJ Metzger
CJ Metzger and Miss Mindy’s work falls into the recently coined genre, “Pop Surrealism”. Although they embrace this new label they do prefer to identify with the history of art making. Their inspiration stems from Craft and Folk Art as evident in the materials that they use, and the inherent themes that surround domesticity, every day occurrences and simple global feelings. They circle around the fringe of their hottest peers, comfortable in their individual fortitude to create work void of pretence and focusing on matters of individual expression.

Their show is March 24 - May 5, 2007.
Please email me to let me know if you would like to be on the Preview List to add something new to your collection.

Have a great week,
Leora
