New Fork art unveiled Fri, Feb 6, 2010

Artist Dale Whistler unveiled the new Fork art with a flourish on Friday afternoon, Feb 6,  cheered on by a handful of onlookers.  The new art is a plump red heart “dipped” in yummy-looking chocolate, complete with luscious drips down one side.

Attendees were treated to a chocolate-covered strawberry.  This was our first Fork art party, but it won’t be the last.  What will the art be next?  (What do you think it should be?)  Stay tuned!

Scottish artist Grant Reid draws inspiration from his adopted hometown

Come meet the talented Grant Reid at our Art Party! The gallery display will be open from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. on Jan 18th. We look forward to seeing you there!

GRANT REID is originally from Glasgow, Scotland, now happily transplanted to South Austin.  His background is in fashion from which he attained a Masters in Fashion from Domus Academy in Milan, Italy.

Natural, candid and relaxed define Grant’s style of photography. He says “I aim to capture moments and memories for my clients through my photography and express the story and character of the subject. My personal passions are travel and people.  Photography to me is about capturing a moment in time, a split second, barely visible to the naked eye. Only when the image is captured at the touch of a button are we both dazzled and amazed by the findings.”

Felice House

“To portray women without objectifying them is an intentional, political act. The art historical tradition is to paint women to extol their sexual beauty and to encourage possessiveness. There is a new guard of women painters who provide a counterpoint to this tradition by depicting a more multifaceted version of the female psyche. I align myself as an artist with them by attempting to broaden the depiction of women as subjects in painting. My subjects are beautiful and observable, but not consumable. They are more public than private and more iconic than intimate. My paintings have a strong connection to traditional portraiture in both style and technique. However, my subjects are contemporized through the use of modern fashion, unexpected facial expressions, unique color relationships and photographic cropping.” ~FELICE HOUSE

Dana Younger

Dana Younger, VP of Blue Genie Art, is truly a man for all seasons. Besides being a painter, sculptor, mold maker, and computer artist, Dana is one of the chief innovators at Blue Genie Art. His Fascination with the creative process and all types of matreials keeps Blue Genie Art on the cutting edge. Essentially, he is a one man research and development team, and it was on his urging that [they] recently acquired [a] new 3D laser scanner and 3 axis CNC milling machine and our Polyurea spray equipment.

Dana also had an unusual childhood, including building and living in a log cabin without electricity (his stories of walking in the snow for miles to get to school are actually true!) and living on the Pacific Ocean in a sail boat.
