Featured Artist: Ted Neal
Ah-mazing! About what you ask?? Well, everything about this jaw-dropping body of work of course! I’ve been a HUGE fan of Ted as a person, and, these dark, reduction-fired constructions for years and years now. Seriously! It’s that industrial look of cast iron and weathered and welded metal panels that I’m just amazed at. His aesthetics of honoring the effects of age coupled with the appearance of raw metal, all reimagined in clay…Now that’s something to be amazed at - like I said. So, thank you so much Ted, for creating such fantastic pieces and doing the show, and of course, thank YOU for checking it all out!
Featured Artist: Rebecca Zweibel
Hopefully, you love non-objective art as much as I do?? Welllll, these vase-inspired forms with their sculptural attitudes could very well be exactly what you were looking for today. St. Petersburg, FL. ceramcist Rebecca Zweibel creates these Fantastic! silhouette shapes and gives them a Jean-Michel Basquiat / Kankinsky painted energy to them (Now, that’s a lot of good mojo if you ask me. ). Her Slab-built forms are her canvas where she lets loose her intuitive process and allows her subconscious to come forward with the design and mark-making. These statement pieces are perfect for any display you can think of!!
Oh. My. This is the mesmerizing ceramic work of Marcy Neiditz. All of these calming palettes combined with intricate, dizzying designs could keep me here all day. With a nod to Modernism, Art Deco, and even Surrealism, these sgraffito colored images evoke a landscape of patterns and places I’d love to just relax in and explore. So, see what you can discover and check out all the new work she just dropped off to us this past week.
Gasp! Breathtakingly bold & beautiful work by Greensboro, NC sculptor/functional ceramic artist Nikki Blair. And another Gasp! simply because her work just plain deserves it!! These little beauties are what a line drawing of a vase or plate or mug would look like if they were made by a ceramicist who loved the funkiness of Art Deco with a graphic sensibility and a dramatic feel for color. I mean - really?? what’s not to love? These statement pieces should be in the middle of everyone’s tables, and they will definitely take your breath away…
Michael Corney
Beautiful and bizarre … yep, always a fabulous combo. Tell me that you aren’t totally in love with these cups and shots by Mexican resident Michael Corney. Obviously, there’s a not so subtle nod towards Cinco de Mayo and all the charm and whimsy he can put into them. So, the adorability factor is over the top. We’ve got a show lined up w/ Micheal next year BUT here’s a sweet taste of what’s to come. ENJOY!!

My wife Silvia and I have only been in the gallery business for just over five years now (plus two more years spent managing Crimson Laurel Gallery). It wasn’t something either of us had a background in or even considered when thinking about a career or starting a business, but like many things that happen in life, it just happened. (…)
