John Chamberlain is having a show at Gagosian Gallery in New York.
I met Chamberlain many years ago in Venice California at a time when he was traveling back and forth across the country and couldn't decide which Coast to settle on...his work was very much decided at that time however...the three dimensional abstract expressionist meets minimalist use of bent and folded automobile components. What a great metaphor for 20th century art expansion and a unique expression of our time. He has worked in this fashion for 50 years and continually finds fresh opportunities today in his 80's. Go to Gagosian website and see what he is now doing.
All classes: Find a scrap of automotive scrap and use it as a stencil from which to assemble a composition and develope a painting.
Sculptors: use a few of these pieces (catalytic convertor shields, pieces of rusted body panels) to build a standing or wall-hanging figure or composition. Monday classes will also have a model all day available for reference if you want to work that idea in as well.
See next week, john.
