truXtop gallery is proud to present:
LICK THE BEATERS 4: CANDY and the WHIP
KIO GRIFFITH
MISATO NAGARE
ALLEN D GLASS II
a mixed media extravaganza sure to get your artistic taste buds tingling...with a custom cake centerpiece to boot! these 3 artists all have incredibly varied approaches to their work, and it's the way in which the work visually plays off each other that makes this grouping particularly engaging. their feisty familiarity is conveyed to the viewers by the stunning visuals created by each unique artist within the individual pieces themselves, with the proverbial icing on the cake being the overall cohesiveness achieved by grouping the work together in a single show. get a sneak peak at http://www.myspace.com/lickthebeaters , then come to truXtop gallery to get a chance to lick the beaters yourself...c'mon, you know you wanna!
"I think I understand why they choose to exhibit as a group: each one's work inevitably (yet unpredictably) refers to the others' in one of those happy accidents for which we should all be grateful. I applaud their obvious confidence about what they're doing (we're not talking ego here; we're talking maturity!), and their acknowledgement of change as an artistic imperative. These three are presenting work that "speaks" to our need for mystery and brilliance. Tempting as it is to succumb to "art blather," I will leave it for the experts to address issues of composition, color, and vision (except to say that everybody gets an A+ on the test!).
Recently, I told this to Allen Glass II, but it is equally true for Kio Griffith and Misato Nagare : "You have this knack for making me see things as if for the first time. If that's not Art, I don't know what is." "

"When the moon shines like a dead garage I travel with gasoline ghosts
down all those haunted miles of the past, twenty-seven Model A miles
an hour in 1939, going to where I have forgotten. (Richard Brautigan)"
