Mencari situs yang tepat untuk bermain togel adalah tugas yang menantang, terutama dengan banyaknya pilihan di luar sana. Namun, situs daftar togel online terpercaya menawarkan lebih dari sekadar tempat bermain; mereka memberikan jaminan keamanan dan berbagai promo besar yang bisa dimanfaatkan oleh pemain. Dengan begitu, Anda bisa fokus pada keseruan permainan tanpa khawatir.
At right is "No more pencils, no more books..." 60" x 48", acrylic, graphite, and oil bar, by Diane Walker-Gladney.
I am fascinated with the idea that although we are inundated with multitudes of experiences, it is only a select few that remain with visceral integrity. An event experienced by two people may be insignificant to one yet may become a lifelong memory to another. Diane's work examines snippets of memory, attending to each no matter how momentous or inconsequential. The title of each piece gives a verbal connection to the memory while hidden longitude and latitude numbers document the physical location.
Diane Walker-Gladney is a Flower Mound, Texas-based artist whose work has been featured in New American Paintings. She has been twice named a finalist for the Hunting Art Prize. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections including the Longview Museum.

Christopher Bingham opening in Art with a View
Norwood Flynn is proud to announce that gallery artist Christopher Bingham will be opening in Art with a View at BarBelmont. There will be an artist's reception on Wednesday, September 7 from 6-9 and the show continues through October 19, 2011. Art with a View at BarBelmont is at the Belmont Hotel, 901 Fort Worth Avenue, Dallas, Texas. For additional information, visit the Belmont Hotel.
Christopher, a finalist for the Hunting Art Prize in 2011, obtained his BFA in Drawing and Painting from UT Arlington and has been painting and showing since in the Dallas area. Besides the Hunting Prize, he was selected for the Juried exhibition, DArt-Slam in 2009, and has shown at Norwood Flynn Gallery since that same year. Chris continues to use his "nostalgic realism", showing a past that many will never see in person, only in his work. As he says in his artist statement: There is an inherent beauty in the minds ability to retain and recall information and experiences. It can hold on to the most miniscule details forever, but forget something you saw just minutes before. Someone once asked me how I would describe my work, and not fitting in to any traditional category I tagged it "nostalgic realism." My work plays on the beauty of memory, and its ability to take the viewer back in time and conjure up that nostalgia. These signs not only represent a dying art form, but a sign of times forgotten. Viewers receive a glimpse of the glory days, in this series that captures the essence of the seedy models and smoke filled rooms, that once laid fame to these signs.

Poets and Cattle: Ray-Mel Cornelius
Poets and Cattle:Ray-Mel Cornelius opens during the DADA Gallery Walk with an Artist's Reception from 6-8pm. The show continues through October 15, 2011.
"Those cattle smaller than a Bee, That herd upon the eye..."
So begins the poem by Emily Dickinson that inspired this series of paintings. Cattle are symbols of the pastoral American mythology we all carry in our collective subconscious, regardless of whether or not we have first hand experience with them. In painting terms, the forms of cattle provide an opportunity to explore mass and shape, as well as color, texture and composition, their rectangular geometry creating contrast to the organic landscape serving as the base.
Ray-Mel Cornelius, originally from Northeast Texas, lives in Oak Cliff. He has shown at Norwood Flynn Gallery since its inception. His work has also been exhibited in New York, Scottsdale, AZ, Taos, NM, Austin and San Antonio. His paintings are included in private collections throughout the United States, United Kingdom and Germany.

In-Depth Interview: Brent Kollock: A Texas Artist's Vision of the World
by Mabel Peck
As curator of the upcoming show of Dallas artist Brent Kollock’s new work, “The Language of Myth,” I am in the midst of trying to focus on his art, but the image of the artist himself keeps creeping into my thoughts. Brent, who has shown at Norwood Flynn Gallery since Fall of ’09 is a fascinating writer and artist, and has been “painting and writing his whole life, since he could pick up a pen.” It is impossible, in fact, to look at his art, and not think about what he has written. His art seems to speak of his thoughts, which are screaming to get out of his constricted drawings, and then spilling off the canvas, in their attempt to impart their meaning to the onlooker. Many of these thoughts seem to reveal a tormented and harrowing soul, at once disturbing and fascinating. Through his paintings and drawings, he has created his own vision of the world, and has remained true to it. Brent, originally from Houston, has been living and working in a tumble-down, magical house here in Dallas for the last 20 years after getting his BFA from SMU. His artwork is in the collections of a devoted and loyal clientele from all over the world. Besides Norwood Flynn Gallery, here in Dallas, dealers in the UK, France, and Spain represent him. If one is lucky, he will share his writing with you, his reflections on the conflict between what we are doing versus the absurdity of life. A published book is on the horizon, so perhaps we all will all soon be able to share his words. He is now working on putting the written word into the visual art.

About Michael Roque Collins
Excerpted from LewAllen Gallery Exhibition Notes for “From Ruins to Resurrection: The Sacred Landscapes of Michael Roque Collins," October 30 - December 13, 2009:
Michael Roque Collins is recognized as producing some of the most profoundly affecting figurative expressionism seen in contemporary art. His pictorial techniques allude to the universal cycling between order and disorder, memory and history, enlightenment and darkness-root aspects of the human condition, the collective unconscious, and the natural world. Reinvigorating our contemporary landscape as a site of spiritual allegory, the artist’s relentless examination of post-modern existential dilemmas has led critics to identify in Collin’s works a distinctly American spiritual resonance to the output of Ansellm Keifer and Gerhard Richter. Finding beauty resident in the terrible, Collins regards his works as mythic conduits to our memories of the sublime and revelatory visual parables of hope for the future.
A native of the Gulf Coast of Texas, Collins is a figurative symbolist whose images are drawn from a personal experience informed by lucid dreams containing icons from ancient cultures and mythic traditions. Exhibited in numerous museums and other public institutions, his work is included in prominent public and private collections internationally. While previously in Dallas, Michael was represented by Gerald Peters Gallery. Norwood Flynn Gallery is excited to exhibit watercolors by Michael Roque Collins in its show, “The Legend of Myth,” along with work by gallery artist, Brent Kollock.

Chris Bingham at Vino100
Chris Bingham, one of our gallery artists, will be shown at Vino100 through June 23. His work will take you back to nostalgic Dallas when bright neon and smokey bars were all the rage.
A few words from the artist follow:
"Searching for a muse, I instead found myself basking in the glow of an obnoxiously bright liquor store sign in Dallas, which led me to the realization that these dinosaurs of the art world were close to extinction. The days of runway light neon signs to attract your attention are long but forgotten with the now graphic driven monstrosities of today. Viewers receive a glimpse of the glory days, in this series that captures the essence of the seedy motels and smoke fliled rooms, that once laid fame to these signs."

Andrew DeCaen: Sonogram Drawings
Looking at a sonogram image can be like looking through a perforated screen. The image of a child may become perfectly clear in a moment, then lost in static in the next. In response to these images he began a series of prints and drawings that explore this concept of thinking about the unknown while looking at coded or veiled information. In all of these images there is an interest in the absurd, the unnoticed, the unfathomable, and an unconscious wisdom. The show will feature drawings, lithographs, small etchings on paper and, several large drawings done on windows for the duration of the show, then erased.
The show opens with an Artist's Reception from 6-8:30 on Saturday, March 6. Norwood Flynn Gallery will be hosting an Artist's Talk with Andrew DeCaen on Wednesday, March 31st at 7pm.

After 15 Months Imbedded with Troops in Afghanistan, Jared Moossy Speaks...
Join us for a special Artist's Talk with Jared Moossy on February 20 from 6pm - 8pm.
We look at people but see often only a country in the constant throes of war. We divide simplistically the country's people into those who visit war upon others and then those upon whom war is visited. However, the most common narrative is the one that is lived quietly and spun daily in the lives of ordinary Afghans. It is this narrative of quiet, personal industry, one that is shaping up to be the dominant narrative of Afghanistan where, up to now, we have thought of a people only as those irrevocably linked with conflict. These images, then illustrate for us all the ambiguity and tragedy of people finding their way in war.

"When two elephants fight, it is only the grass that suffers." - African Proverb

Artist's Talk with Brent Kollock
The 2009 Holiday Show will be closing with a special reception and Artist's Talk by Brent Kollock beginning at 7PM on January 23, 2010.
Brent, in his words... Most of what I make falls into the category of eccentricity, because I have never admitted a clear distinction between making images and living. If in my work I have managed to disguise a participation in my circumstances, I still cannot deny the eccentricity in what I make, since I make images precisely because I am only half there, if at all, in a rational world. I work by default and dislocation, and since I work out of an interstice, that place and time between what we know, I always try and invite others to discover one of their own, to see themselves inside the figures and circumstances of my pictures.

David Leonard Chosen As Member of the New Dallas Nine
originally published in D Magazine, August 2009
Dallas has lately been abuzz with the arts. Yet this growth comes at a perilous time. Galleries are struggling to survive, and artists are fighting to be shown. To provide a public environment for area artists to exhibit their work, D Magazine, along with John Sughrue and f.i.g., produced a juried art show in May called D Art Slam. Of the 150 artists who exhibited, the jurors honored nine, designating them the New Dallas Nine.
The name recalls the 1930s and ’40s regional artists who believed that local art can speak universally. The original Dallas Nine—Jerry Bywaters, Thomas M. Stell Jr., Harry P. Carnohan, Otis M. Dozier, Alexandre Hogue, William Lester, Everett Spruce, John Douglass, and Perry Nichols—shaped the Texas centennial exhibition and Dallas’ new art museum. Working on murals, printmaking, sculpture, painting, and drawings, they depicted Texas’ landscapes, labor, luminaries, and tribes. They followed their own style, nodding but not kowtowing to New York and Europe, exhibiting alongside each other and national and international artists. As World War II ended, the Nine disbanded and moved elsewhere. Their work can still be seen at the DMA and other museums.
The presence and work of the New Dallas Nine speak to their efforts to live as artists within Texas. As the original Dallas Nine upheld, Texas has its own muses and talents. Here, we honor D Art Slam’s winners as they shape a 21st-century conversation about Texas and its artists.

Norwood Flynn presents Michael O'Keefe: Value & Myth
Norwood Flynn Gallery's show Value & Myth, Recent Sculpture & Drawing by Michael O'Keefe which began Saturday, October 4, has been extended through November 14. A reception for the artist was held on Saturday, October 4 and on October 10, Michael was present for "A Conversation with the Artist" during which he gave attendees an intimate presentation about his artistic process in making the exquisite pieces on display.
After studying at the New York Studio and the International School of Art in Italy, O'Keefe received an M.F.A. from Southern Methodist University. His international experience and sophistication in art history account for his contemporary take on the beautiful and the true. His sculptures and drawings have, O'Keefe says, "...a figurative presence while admitting the reality that they are merely a collection of pencil marks, of plaster chunks." These marks and chunks mysteriously merge into dynamic human forms that aspire and crumble simultaneously, mirroring the human experience with an original voice. O'Keefe's burgeoning career offers a long-term investment in local gold. His deeply rooted forms play with new questions, connecting us to our heritage of beauty with an intelligent articulation of our moment, here and now.Describing his new works Michael O'Keefe says, "In my recent work, the concept of myth is meant to be thought of in a broad way, defining myth as any narrative belonging to an individual or group and contributes to their ability to function and thrive. Many people feel successful in their efforts to disassemble, fracture, or topple myths that contrast with their own current narrative, and in doing so deny the fact that, at the same time they are disassembling the myth in their mind, it is functioning in very powerful ways for others. This contradiction is fundamental to my work: some of the works seem to stand with great stability while, from other viewpoints, they appear ready to fall over; some works hold together with a strong sense of being whole despite explicitly revealing the parts that make up that whole; some works evoke a sense of beauty despite gnarly, jagged surfaces; some pieces have a figurative presence while admitting the reality that they are merely a collection of pencil marks or plaster chunks. I am commenting on the general value and function of myth and also reflecting on historical narratives that I myself rely on as the foundation for the making of sculpture and drawings."

Norwood Flynn presents Charlotte Seifert: Open Secrets
September 6-26, 2008
also introducing Austin Artist, Billie Giese
As I processed my divorce, my paintings became a way of speaking pain and accepting loss. The initial theme of gardening came as a metaphor for my toil of grief. Out of the Garden, literally the breakup of our family, echoes the disruption of life in the Garden of Eden. Where Are You? has two birds flying in a circle, one pursing the fleeing other, as was I in the spinning tango that included secrets.
The images of flowers, as in Taking the High Road, were painted as I began to think about gardening and sowing and reaping anew.

Norwood Flynn presents Melissa Auberty: Shelter
Melissa Auberty's newest works encapsulate her native land, recalling the animals and landscapes of her childhood in Texas. Earth and sky, plant and animal, all forms, pliant and alive. Echoes of earlier cultures, played against the wild shapes of creatures we know, resolving into form alone.
A graduate of Southern Methodist University, Auberty invokes the shapes and atmosphere of her youth, laden with fire.

Opening Fall 2008
Norwood Flynn Gallery is pleased to present the paintings of David Leonard, coming Fall 2008.
Leonard's images of Gotham City evoke the mystery of crowded spaces, the cacophany of multitudinous voices, the solitude within. Join us for this exciting event, meet the artist, and absorb the rich imagery of Leonard's works, as revealed by the artist:
"The primary subjects of my paintings are 21st century man's working monuments, which represent our culture's dedication to production and consumption. The essence of our way of life can be seen in our never-ending at-tempt to subdue our environment. It is not my inten-tion to either glorify or condemn this objective, but to invite contemplation and leave judgement up to the viewer. I'm always looking for places where the man-made environment inundates the natural. I paint this in a way where subtle abstraction dissociates elements from the environment, creating an oscillating view of the natural and the fabricated.
The paintings are meant to be ambiguous - they can be seen as an indictment of human waste and contemporary alienation, or, simultaneously, they can be understood as silent tributes to the fundamental tools of our society that we all too often ignore. One might ask why I paint these things rather than document them with photographs -- I believe painting, because of its deliberateness, serves purposes that photography can-not. My paintings take a long time to produce and in this way they parallel and underscore the deliberate-ness with which our machinery is built into the land-scape. Thay are a culmination rather than a moment-- a 'long look' at our technology and legacy."

New Works From Bonny Leibowitz
Norwood Flynn Gallery is proud to present Permanent States of Transition, exciting new works from talented Texas artist Bonny Leibowitz.
Her paintings utilize color and line to develop and affect form and their impact upon one another, building a truth, shaping a reality.
"I've been working with the figure in my art for many years now. Once confined by the body, our very essence has been released, and the forms we see now are "figure-like" and interact as relationships tend to do impacting one another becoming part of who we are. The changes taken on, shape us into new states of being compelling us to exist in a transitioning truth."
Linear eruptions convey the contortions and physical consequence of interaction. Juxtaposition of form and color create surface tension and movement. The world these "figures" live in becomes increasingly abstract and increasingly real. We don't want to leave. The work draws us in and speaks to our very existence.
The show runs until December 28. Opening reception,Friday, November 30, 6-9 pm

Opening Feb 16: New Works by Jack Barnett
Jack Barnett: Indefinite Allegories Jack Barnett’s representational paintings are comprised of three fundamental components: the figure, landscape, and collage. They retain the formal roots of figurative and landscape painting, but diverge into disparate interpretations of subject matter within “the mind’s eye of relationships, between people and their environment, visual time and space.” Barnett studies the nude but is not bound to it. He records glimpses into the human figure and man-made elements, then by fragmenting and rearranging them, he presents pieces of a bigger puzzle: the relationship of he figure to the landscape and the landscape to humanity. By exploring the panoramic typography and compartmentalizing it, Barnett begs the question: Where does man begin and where does he end? According to Barnett, “realism cannot be a scale model recreation of a visual world but rather a tool of thought and observation, a way of exploring mortality, displaced associations, relationships, and the magic of humanity.” This human dilemma in all its possible interpretations is juxtaposed against the expanse of the Texas landscape, limitless in scope and grand in scale. He asks the “big questions” and manipulates the paint until he reaches a temporary resolution, never settling for absolutes in its application. After completing one canvas, the questions begin all over again. Barnett’s subtle indulgences of paint and its possibilities are palpable in every canvas. He finesses and manipulates the paint that is applied in a myriad of ways: by brush, palette knife, or found tool. He explores the versatility of the media that can be opaque, translucent, viscous, runny, heavy, thin, dense, and meager. Barnett’s paintings are a vehicle to illuminate ideas, create illusion, explore possibilities, record a human event, and stand as a testament to his own humanity.
Artist's statement:
"My paintings are about people, whether fully depicted, abstracted inrto the implied face of a machine, or the fragmented scrap of a photo. They are the mind's eye of relationships between people and their environment, visual time and space. Working with the nude, I take a layered approach. First and foremost it is a momument to the non-hero. No uniforms or medals, no pearls or fancy dress - just life. On another level it is about relationships. The relationship of artist to model, the model to the box of the canvas, and life to life. The formal elements of composition reinforce the birth-to-infinity relationship of humanity and boxes. The box of a room or the box of a coffin, how much space the figure element takes up, or where it is placed are all important tools for creating an emotional connection to the figure. For me, realism cannot be a scale model recreation of a visual world but rather a tool of thought and observation, a way of exploring mortality, displaced associations, relationships and the magic of humanity."

Norwood Flynn Opens: Broken Cameras and Elegant Debris
Sallie McIlheran: Bilderreise Paintings and Works on Paper
Saturday, September 15th
Open House 2 - 9 pm Artist Reception with Live Jazz 6 - 9 pm
also showing
Elliott Terral: Violence Over the Airwaves Emerging Cam Clip Artist
show continues through
October 13th
Norwood Flynn presents cam clip artist Elliott Terral and painter Sallie McIlheran with works about beauty on the rebound. McIlheran paints emptied bags, discarded envelopes, and half-peeled fruit that hint at desperate moments, but her precision in detail, the glow of oil over tempera, and her brilliant interplay of colors elevate debris to the level of complex portraiture. Terral, on the other hand, enlists chance, strategically breaking cameras to cripple their expression. His camera clips exaggerate the character of light while suggesting the physical limits of human perception, the boundaries of beauty.

Charlotte Seifert: Life Lines
Also Showing Ray Larrow and Kyle Ragsdale
Artist's Reception
Saturday, April 21, 2 - 8pm
Live Jazz duo, 6 - 8pm
Show runs through May 12
Norwood Flynn Gallery is currently unfurling a spectrum of S.M.U. M.F.A. alumnae. The works of Charlotte Seifert, Kyle Ragsdale, and Ray Larrow combine like layers of consciousness. Seifert anchors her large oils in memory, Ragsdale’s work teeters on the edge of indecipherable narratives, and Larrow burrows into the subconscious through an almost ritualistic physicality.
Seifert’s work sets the pace. “I am interested in painting as a way of remembering,” says Seifert. “As I paint, the images evolve and recall places that I know…” For the viewer, this amounts to standing at the brink of another’s memory, with its shifting hints of the vaguely familiar. Recontextualized branches, seedpods, and vistas coalesce with the tactile quality of Seifert’s paint, drawing the viewer into the nature of paint, memory, and experience. One can imagine Seifert’s mind in the frame of Walt Whitman when he asks why there are “trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?” Charlotte Seifert’s paintings channel more than a few of these “large and melodious thoughts.”
Kyle Ragsdale’s stylized figures hint at more civilized possibilities, tugging the viewer into various interpretations. These are conversational pieces initiating a game. Is that Ophelia on a prom date? Martini hour at Thornton Wilder’s? Perhaps Gerhard Richter has just dropped in on the Stepford wives. See if you can resist a litany of interpretations.
Just when you think you’ve gotten calibrated to the rhythm of Norwood Flynn, you’ll come upon the quiet voice of Ray Larrow. Larrow trudges through layers of attentive labor, “mental snow drifts,” he says, before he touches trowel to panel. He doesn’t exactly paint, as much as he builds, beginning with poetry. The quiet and intimate layering of his daily gestures are rawly applied and then covered, rawly applied and then covered, so that the covering and covering and covering reveals aspects of life that can never be directly asserted. Each piece, then, is a stream of consciousness restrained to a limited field. The effect is that of impregnation so that the paint and plaster bulge with a swollen history of gestures. In a word, Larrow’s work conceals the inaccessible in order to reveal its fecundity. After few minutes of silence before a Larrow painting, you will feel inexpressibly deep and local yourself—like you’ve held a mirror up to your more mysterious inner workings. At this point, the deep you will be in the right place at the right time.

Ray-Mel Cornelius grew up on a ranch in northeast Texas. He had daily experience with two influences which molded the subject and nature of his work. The first was found in the popular culture of comics, books and magazines that demonstrated the possibility of drawing as a way of life. The second was the daily experience of the landscape, a combination of forever horizon and a sky that changed its features minute by minute. Ray-Mel lives in the Elmwood section of Oak Cliff.
Classical Realism to Outsider Art: small works by regional artists will include works by several regional artists including Jack Barnett, Anne Fairchild, Jonathan Hardesty, John Kuehne, J. Koehler, Carol Nace, Gaylord Cull and Michael Tichansky.
