Gallery Night is tomorrow night, Friday!

My prime pick is Larry Price’s installation at Mermaid Cafe. I’m a huge fan of Larry and his art. He’s my go-to guy when I need a classy gift. Pam has loved every one of watercolors she has received, and they grace our walls nicely.

Being a geographer, I fell in love with Larry’s keen eye for urban landscapes. Vernacular architecture and commonplace streetscapes — typically of the eastside variety — are infused with new meaning, new perspectives and new life thanks to Larry’s artistic vision.

Much of his work is smaller in scale, but this installation will feature some large format works I haven’t seen yet. It should be fun. & interesting.

I’ll also likely be wandering up to the various galleries along Winnebago & Atwood and will likely end up at Alison Mader’s Artspace Twenty-Two Eleven (2211 Atwood Ave.), and, of course, finally at the Harmony.

Hope to see you there!

Below is Larry’s artist description:

Large, dynamic, acrylic, contemporary landscapes on canvas, ranging in size from 72″x 60″ to 36″x 48″.

I’ve been influenced by Wolf Kahn, one of America’s greatest abstract expressionist landscape painters, known for his unique use of color.

Gallery Night is Friday, May 7th, 5-9 PM at the Mermaid Cafe, 1929 Winnebego Street, Madison, Wisconsin.

The paintings will be at the Mermaid for a week after the show.
