Thought I'd pass this along - 11th Avenue is a great little community-based gallery, who supports a lot of my friends, including Harry C. Walters and Justin Beard. Check out the show - I'll try to make it down, as well:
11th Ave Gallery July Opening
New Work From Maria M. Gonzalez and John Henry Egan
Denver, CO -- July 3rd, 2009 - 11th Ave Gallery invites you to view new work from Maria M. Gonzales and John Henry Egan, in their show entitled "El Merezer". The opening reception will be held at 11th Ave Gallery (15 E 11th Ave) on Friday July 3, 2009 from 7-11 pm.
Denver artist, Maria Michelle Gonzales, will be showing a new installation piece.
"El Merezer (to deserve) is a situation about an ongoing struggle of the will to accept a "benefit" without having worked to deserve it. Simultaneously "benefits" continue to make themselves available regardless.
In this study I've expressed 7 typical stereotypical remarks that have stained what I have called "baberos"- bibs. They are each lacthed on to the left sides of 7 small tables. The major part of this installation is a lined up series of 7 small tables. These represent the setting of the hostile yet classic beauty of the Last Supper inspired first by the traditional Jewish Passover Seder meal. In conclusion, the whole represents the truth of an unstrenuous sure "benefit" food in this particular study, that has never been held back from us as we depend on it for survival. It continues day in and day out to provide nourishment for all, despite ones personal state of being, or working to deserve."
Denver artist, John Henry Egan, will be showing a series of recent paintings.
" The theme of my painting process is based on the construction of us as human beings and how experience forms us. There are many seasons that shape the person that we are. In that process there is so much built into each separate layer, only to be broken down over time.
The paintings being shown will be 48" x 48" and 36" x 36", composed of organic textures utilizing mediums such as sand, rust, newsprint, and found objects."
11th Ave Gallery is located at 15 E 11th Ave Denver, CO.
