1 - Maxx Morgan NoDa Painter 2003

" . . . Like the pages of a journal - a small flame of hope"

 
'Portrait in Blue II'
Oil on canvas
Copyright 2003 Maxx Morgan


Born in 1979 in a town near Pittsburgh PA, artist Maxx Morgan (24) first started drawing
at the age of 3 and began painting at the age of 17. Working primarily in oil on canvas,
he developed his skills under Artist/Professor Rick Harden at the University of Hartford
CT. Later receiving an independent study for the next 4 ½ years, working one on one
with Rick in his studio in the small town of Winsted CT. Rick encouraged the use of his
dark palette, and cold color combinations, for in the midst of the darkness was always
a small flame of hope.

Maxx Morgan started exhibiting his work in several coffee shops where he would be
seen sketching frequently. Later he would exhibit in such places as the Javits Center
in NY, NY, Manchester Community College, Manchester CT, and various galleries in
Charlotte including several showings at the Hart-Witzen Gallery, Harriet’s, and Galatique
Gallery of Fine Art, the Jazz, Art and Wine festival.

Maxx has been commissioned by restaurants and private homeowners for mural work
and portraits.

Symbolism is an important factor in his work. "Like the pages of a journal, so are these
images that tell a story of now. I enjoy keeping a record of the everyday events that hold
pockets of inspiration within them. The night is a perfect time for this, and it seems that’s
the time when reflection occurs, the moon is a perfect example, reflecting the light of the
sun. I hope to accomplish this not only in my work, but life as well."
Maxx Morgan

2 - Clayton Venhuizen NoDa Painter 2003

'Poured Protrusionisms' . . .

"an exploration of natural flow"

. . .As in my last posting - regarding the unique group of Artists in
NoDa (North Davidson Artists District - Charlotte, North Carolina) @
the Hart-Witzen Gallery & Moving Poets Theatre of Dance - who
have virtually created atmospheres of pure delight . . .

Each Artist is grounded on the principles of their Art - per se -
within a very unique and worthwhile glimpse - of an integrity &
professionalism in the history of Art . . . that shall represent -
in the future - another Renaissance of Absolute Art.

These Artists are simply some of the best i have encountered in my
travels and their 'Space' is something to behold too - for it is truly an
'Artists Space' . . . one that holds much promise for the future of the
Arts in the Carolina's . . .

And so - it is with much pleasure - that i portrait the following Artist -
Clayton Venhuizen (also Director of the Gallery) . . . and in his own
words (below), you may obtain an insight into another part of a future
- that definitively defines the object & meaning of the term, ' the Artist ',
and his work . . .

"I am a musician turned painter.  I've found that composing music and
painting are exactly the same thing, only expressed in a different way.
The Artwork above is from a series which I call 'Poured Protrusionisms'.
The series (which may be observed @ the Gallery) was an exploration
of natural flow within man-made circumstances."
                                                                   quote: [Clayton Venhuizen]

> please feel free to take a glimpse into the Future - within the context
of the Eastern United States - @ the following sites . . .

Note: "A Devil's Dance" - is an adaptation of Goethe's epic play ( Faust )
and is running October 23 thru November 1st - don't miss the Premier of
the Moving Poets Theatre of Dance . . . see the Links below.

"a 'definitive' statement of an expanding sensibility . . ."

 
'Portrait of the Artist'
Copyrighted by richard w lubrich jr 2003


. . . without much ado, i am going to enable the artist, once again, to explain his
inspiration with the medium of choice (which i might add - is a 'definitive' statement
of an expanding sensibility into the exploration of the Arts present in the Carolina's)
and will be on View this Friday + Saturday [October 3rd + 4th / 8PM 'till Midnight]
@ 136 E. 36th Street [Hart Witzen Gallery] . . . Theron is a Member of the Artists
Blacksmith Association of North America (ABANA)

ARTIST STATEMENT:

"My name is Theron Michael Ross. I am an artist / blacksmith working out of my studio
in Charlotte, NC. For the past seven years, I have been pursuing forged and fabricated
iron as a medium. Although for the most part I am self-taught, I have had independent
study and internships with Nol Putnam, Brent Kington, and Albert Paley. Learning
from these incredible artists has inspired me immensely.

The current series of sculptures that I am working on is called life force. The pieces
in this series seem to grow, like sprouts from the earth. As I am making these sculptures
they seem to grow effortlessly, without any interruption, straight towards the light. It is
almost as if I am releasing them from their raw state, in a very natural way. During the
continuous process of heating and hammering, a personal connection is developed
between the piece and myself. It is this intense progression that gives the sculpture life.

The methods used for working iron are for the most part the same today as they were
centuries ago. By taking these ancient methods and adding my own contemporary vision,
I hope to promote artistic ironwork as an expressive medium." Theron Michael Ross

In the hours of distress and miser,the eyes of every mortal man turn to friendship;in the hour of gladness and conviviality ,what is our want?It is

friendship.When the heart overflows with gratitude,or with any other sweet and sarced sentiment,what is the world to which it would give utterance?a

friend.
