She travels around the city streets on her sea foam green bicycle to artists studios, exhibits and receptions, fueled by French pressed coffee and noodles from her favorite Tenderloin Thai restaurant. When she is not scribbling fine words onto paper, about upcoming artists exhibiting at The Shooting Gallery, White Walls and Gallery Three, you can find her curating exhibits of her own at 666 Gallery.

This week The Shooting Gallery has transformed into a full blown studio space for Steve Powers, formally known as ESPO. Its been interesting to see an entire collection come together in only a few short weeks, but for this artists its surely the norm.

ESPO

The artist "arguably" best known as ESPO (meaning Exterior Surface Painting Outreach)  has recently been on the radar for his rooftop murals in Philly as well as huge art installations in galleries such as Dietch Projects, Collette and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Aside from his successful career as a professional gallery artist, he is also a Fullbright scholar, a participant in the 49th Venice Biennale, and author of two artist books.

Tomorrow is the big night for the opening reception of Charmaine Olivia's Urban Menagerie at Gallery Six. During the installation process I came to realize how truly gifted this artist really is. Studying oil painting under her grandmother from as early as five years old, Charmaine has evolved to embrace her own unique esthetic. Although she has an established following throughout the US, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, this will be  he first solo exhibition at age 21.

Charmaine uses a combination of loose figurative painting, detailed pen and ink drawings and mixed media collage. Her portraits are beautifully rendered with warm earth tones complimented by bight patterns and colors. Surprisingly she has no professional training in art, and opted out on art school contending the impact it would make on her work.

Tonight is The Shooting Gallery’s opening reception of new works by C3, Akira and KMNDZ. We are excited to show such a diverse mix of perspectives, drawings and paintings.

The Shooting Gallery

With an amazing capability for detail, C3 creates tightly executed images that are smooth and free flowing. His art reflects a fascination with death, terror, and the unknown. Though his photorealistic drawings with graphite are usually of his friends and colleagues, they might be modeled as a rotting corpse or masked figure wearing a straightjacket. Other drawings are replicas of old photographs from the 1800’s, manipulated to serve an elusive purpose. . With a subtle yet striking feeling about them, the aesthetically beautiful pieces reveal the darkest moments from within.
