Artists To Look IV

Haven't done this post segment for a while, but I like to make word to everyone about two artists with exceptional talents.

Jenny Schade
I just can't help myself, but everybody was talking about the recent show FRESH PAINT AND NEW CONSTRUCTION at Art Mûr, especially the works of one Miss Schade. The paintings took over the space with its dark realism and almost monochromatic colours. A sight to see on each of her paintings!

"...gorgeous, haunting images truly speak to the degree of talent..." art critic Stacey DeWolfe
(read the article in the July 23rd issue of Montreal Mirror.)


Jeremy Mayer
California-based artist whose sculptures was created with the unusual material: typewriters. I was googling for a mechanical guide to building a typewriter when I stumbled on his site - a gallery of his sculptures - the human and animal anatomy forms completely made from typewriter parts. And the end result surprised many critics and audience alike. His explanation for the machines as a natural resource affected to these sculpture with life of its own.
