A&E 4 on the Floor: Think locally, too
Posted by David Lee Simmons on Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 9:07 PM
I solicited a Culture Surfing survey in this week's issue from incoming artist Dave MacDowell, whose pop-surrealism will join three other artists (natch) for the 4 on the Floor exhibit at The Gallery at East Atlanta Tattoo. The gallery's exhibits have become increasingly popular since its opening last fall, and I can't watch to check out the work of all four artists.
I feel bad I didn't mention more about Kennesaw native Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn, whose work (at least some of it, at least, reminds me of a trippier, drippier M.C. Escher — and I mean that as a compliment. Her "What God Does to One of His Own" (pictured) is particularly captivating. What's going on in that head of hers? I wonder. One thing's for sure: I won't be hanging out next to her at the Star Bar anytime soon. Her MySpace quote: "You're standing right next to me and FUCKIN SINGIN … cut it out !!!!" Either this 29-year-old is very angry, or has a great sense of humor. I can't wait to find out.
I'll be there with camera in tow, taking snaps for our Sideshow Atlanta photo blog. Come on up and say hi. I'll be the one with the red hair and the Canon PowerShot.
