SMALL SCULPTURE @ MARTY WALKER GALLERY

Marty Walker Gallery presents “Small Works: Art + Object” -a small sculpture invitational group exhibition, featuring strange and fantastic small art objects from a selection of 16 stellar artists:

Sterling Allen

Thomas Feulmer
Nathan Green
Elliot Johnson
M
Margaret Meehan
Pard Morrison
Rod Northcutt
Tom Orr
Allison Schulnik
Jay Shinn
Wayne White

Billy Zinser

This assembly of sculpture debunks the trend that “bigger is better,” and by working within a small format, these artists have created a mess of random creatures and fascinating objects that demonstrate the power of big ideas imagined in scaled-down and accessible forms.

NBC 5 DFW covers MACRODONS @ ARTOPIA!

"We can’t wait to see artist Billy Zinser’s debut of his 20-foot-tall MACRODON inflatable character (based on his small plastic art-toys)." -Annie Potasznik, NBC 5 DFW ( read the full article )

"Not only will Artopia be an incredibly fun event for art lovers, but there will also be many components of the event that will inject interest and excitement for many other viewers as well -- including the giant 20 feet tall Macrodon sculpture, live art installations and t-shirt screen-printing, fashion, music performances, and more," Zinser said. -quoted from NBC 5 DFW article

MACRODONS @ POPUP THREETEN !

Billy Zinser's MACRODONS series 2 figures & oil paintings will be part of the opening exhibition at POP UP 310 -a temporary art exhibition space in Dallas' West Village, run and curated by James Cope of The Goss-Michael Foundation and Brian Gibb of The Public Trust.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: POP UP 310 is an autonomous curatorial project that will serve as a platform for artists, writers, musicians and all things creative. Housed in what was formerly the Gardens retail space in the West Village, POP UP 310 is in essence a temporary pop up gallery showcasing and exhibiting artwork by emerging and established artists. With the space located in a retail center, the focus of the artwork will be on smaller works, prints and books, creating a gallery experience which is accessible to a broader range of art patrons. This model will also create opportunities for artists to experiment with ideas and materials that may not necessarily be shown in a commercial environment. At its core POP UP 310 is a work in progress, an ongoing project to be considered as an art installation it self.

West Village, Dallas, Texas 75204

OPENING RECEPTION:
Sat. Feb. 13th 6-10PM

I ♥ TMNT

As made evident in the last few posts, I went off on my ♥ for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and specifically the disembodied brain, Krang, the villain from Dimension X.

In the newer cartoon, Krang has a weaker appearance
(and looks a lot like my recent herd of MACRODONS drawing)

But, let's not forget ♥ April O'Neil ♥ -who was probably pretty high up on the list in my 8 year-old brain, as a reason to watch TMNT (as if martial arts, weapon wielding, humanoid, wise-cracking turtles in battle with weird aliens and mutated monsters wasn't reason enough)

so... Halloween...? Yeah, you guessed it:
