Spring Salon Pics

I snapped a couple shots at Modern Formations' Spring Salon Friday night. It was pretty packed there. I couldn't move my arms at times. Good show none the less. There's a lot of great work there, I only took pics of the back room of the show for some reason though. But it'll be up till April 24th, so if you're in the Pittsburgh area, you should check it.

Gabe Felice at ModernFormations

I love Gabe Felice’s work. He has a nice sense of color and the paintings are simply charming. The exhibit at ModernFormation’s is filled with his paintings, a feast for the eyes.

But beyond the immediate eye appeal is a sense of journey, with paths and odd markers embedded into the bodies of his figures. These interpretive maps seem to dance between reality and perception and purpose.

While the body of the show has been created on canvas, there are several pieces that use other substrates. It’s an interesting challenge, since the novelty of the substrate can at times become to central in the theme. Mr. Felice, however, overcomes this with his exuberance. I get the impression that he would consider any unmoving surface the perfect target for his brush!

Make sure to preview the show in the below thumbnails. With ModernFormation’s extended scheduling, you’ll have another opportunity to view the work on Friday, August 1. There is an Unblurred for first Friday this month, but you may have to sift through Penn Avenue Art Initiative’s Facebook page for a glimpse of what is happening on the avenue. Garfield Night Market, Most Wanted Fine Art, and of course, ModernFormations all have events planned.

  ModernFormations Open First Friday, August 1 Through August 15

Penn Avenue

So, I just couldn’t make it to the November edition of Unblurred. I was too busy reading a sign on a building to watch where I was walking and took a tumble, twisting my ankle, and banging up my knee and elbow. Ouch!

I am sorry I missed the full event,…

Ben Oddi at ModernFormations

I walked into ModernFormations for the opening on July’s First Friday and was just stunned by Ben Oddi’s work. It was not what I was anticipating, not at all. In this case, my expectations were exceeded.

It’s interesting to see how an artist’s vision can…
