Mad Art: Friday, 6 July 2007

"Creation of Fate"
Veronica Blaha, Mike Calway-Fagen, Amanda Wiles

Mad Art Gallery proudly presents Creation of Fate new works by Veronica Blaha, Mike Calway-Fagen, and Amanda Wiles. This exhibit runs from July 6 to July 30, 2007, with a free opening reception on Friday, July 6, 2007, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Through a series of paintings, Veronica Blaha explores the generational gaps in society. Her "Generational Paintings" search for the meanings implied by the dubious naming of generations by their values, e.g., Generation Y or the Echo Boomers.

Without giving away too much, the work of Mike Calway-Fagen involves a bonsai tree, walkie talkies, microphones, a conch shell, motors, photographs, and other sundries.

The work of Amanda Wiles is comprised of a series of interconnected objects and images that look for magic, mystery, and truths in the everyday landscape. Material repetition in the sculptures and photos create revealing relationships about seemingly banal situations. Small scale sculptures made from a variety of altered, found objects and seductive materials attempt to make sense of excess, consumption, and a yearning for something.

I wish I could come to St Louis. I enjoyed exploring you website. Any gallery promoting good art is great to visit, even if it is only you website. I hope you will visit my not so mad art site.
