BROOKLYN :: Saturday :: Be Easy
Super fun activity for those of you in the NYC area!
Easy Street Gallery aims to bring glass pipe making to the forefront of the contemporary art scene. The gallery is a culmination of ideas between two creative business partners who know a thing or two about the glass sculpture scene. Ian Kerr and Nathan Purcell (formerly of Silica Galleries and Philadelphia Glass Works) are the minds behind Easy Street: the first-ever gallery of its kind.
Our mission is to present glass pipe-making in a new light in hopes to transform the perception of glass pipes as fine art. All artists represented at Easy Street work in the United States and are part of a small, yet growing, group of talented individuals at the forefront of the movement. It is our aim to showcase these artists’ work in the arena of a fine art setting, and deservedly so, as the concept, skill and craftsmanship of each piece is at the highest, most sophisticated level within the flamedworked glass community.
Easy Street Gallery Presents:
MR. GRAY AND TRISTAN
Studies From Nature
Opening Reception
Saturday, March 13th
7pm – 11pm
Both Mr. Gray and Tristan are east coast transplants leading one of California’s premier glass blowing workshops, Humboldt Glass Collective, in Arcata, CA. The original concept for Studies From Nature began with insects conceived by close friend, Abel Vicente, who passed away a few months ago. These artists expanded Vicente’s interpretation to include reflections of the nature thriving around them; then, took it one step further to lend an alternative view of otherworldly organic growing life. Patrons to this exhibit will be introduced to a depiction that concentrates the use of vibrant color, repeated shape, form and clustered groupings.
Sicky!!!!
