Visiting an artist’s studio is generally an entertaining and educational experience. Visiting the home and Prairie School studios of sculptor Bill Reid was both of these as well as astonishing, enchanting, and breathtaking. Influenced by nature, automatons, and his own Utopian philosophy, Reid has been creating brightly painted steel sculptures in the form of anthropomorphic creatures, many of which move, for more than twenty years. Full of sass and humor, Bill Reid‘s sculptures are a pleasure to experience.

Read MoreIt is always a pleasure to visit the studio of a talented artist, and the painting studio of Derrick Buisch is no exception. Not only were we happily affected by all the bright colors in Derrick’s works in progress, but we were also happy to see that he is continuing his experiments in abstraction, surfaces, and apportionment.

Read MoreThe term sounding refers to taking a measurement in deep water or the process of observing and analyzing atmospheric conditions. Jason Rohlf‘s new series, Soundings reflects his interest in exploring these ideas through paint and collage. Although he is working on flat surfaces, his asymmetrical, organic compositions suggest space, movement, and a compelling energy, perfectly balanced through color and texture. The work in Soundings is a continuation of Rohlf‘s keen observation, imagined measurements, and Soundings is Rohlf‘s fifth solo exhibition with Tory Folliard Gallery.
Read MoreIt is always a pleasure to visit an artist in the studio. We recently had the good fortune of meeting with artist T.L. Solien who showed us his new body of work, created during his sabbatical and inspired by a long trip to the western states. Clearly T.L. Solien has been busy as seen in the wall of mixed media collages on paper above.

Read MoreJason Rohlf has been very busy making new work for his upcoming show “Soundings” at Tory Folliard Gallery. The term sounding refers to taking a measurement in deep water or the process of observing and analyzing atmospheric conditions. Jason Rohlf‘s new series, Soundings reflects his interest in exploring these ideas through paint and collage. Although he is working on flat surfaces, his asymmetrical, organic compositions suggest space, movement, and a compelling energy, perfectly balanced through color and texture. The work in Soundings is a continuation of Rohlf’s keen observation, imagined measurements. Persist is an acrylic painting on four linen panels, measuring 15×60 inches. A kaleidoscope of shapes and colors suggest lively movement and dynamic perspective. The surface of this work is rich yer subtle, with expressive texture and layering. We look forward to Jason Rohlf‘s opening “Soundings” and artist reception on Gallery Night, Friday, October 21st.
