M Modern Gallery Announces New Artist George Perrou with a Solo Exhibition in March

Palm Springs, CA – February 25th, 2010:  M Modern Gallery of Palm Springs, CA announces it’s new representation of artist George Perrou.  The gallery had begun selling Perrou’s original paintings and limited edition prints earlier this month for Palm Springs annual Modernism Week festivities and is presenting a solo exhibition of his original paintings with the upcoming “Modscape My World” show.

M Modern will host an opening reception for the concurrently running “Modscape My World” and Zoey Stevens’ “Alice In Wunderland” shows on Friday, March 12th, 2010 from 7:30-10:00.  The reception is free and open to the public.

Perrou’s artwork aligns with the Mid-Century Modernist aesthetic which M Modern’s specialization is internationally known.  Best described as ‘Mod-Culture’, Perrou’s style is a natural fit with M Modern.  “I am honored to be represented by M Modern,” says Perrou, “and this show is comprised of paintings which ‘Modscape’ my world.”

George Perrou’s art is inspired by mid-century animation, and gives nods to Miro, Kandinsky and Calder. Channeling the the Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. cartoons of his youth, Perrou's is a style all his own, painting colorful abstractions of reality onto the canvas using retro and modern colors in acrylic.  George lives and paints in the creative epicenter of Portland, Oregon.

M Modern Gallery specializes in mid-century modernist art, designs and objects, and is dedicated to serving its artists, patrons and collectors.  Their new venue SHAG The Store Grand Opening is May 8th.  M Modern Gallery (www.MModern.com) was founded in 2003, and is located at 2500 N.

Seattle Art Museum (SAM) Gallery Announces New Artist Kelly Neidig Featured in “Introductions 2010” Group Show

Seattle, WA – February 22^nd, 2010:  Seattle Art Museum’s ‘SAM Gallery’ in Seattle, WA announces that Kelly Neidig is selected for inclusion in their annual newly-represented artists show, “Introductions 2010”.  Neidig will be among the 8 artists featured in the group exhibition at SAM’s Jacob Lawrence Gallery March 18 through April 16, 2010.  

The “Introductions 2010” show demonstrates SAM Gallery’s commitment to showcasing established and emerging Northwest artists.  Please join us for an opening reception for our Introductions 2010 show on Thursday, March 18^th, 2010 at the Seattle Art Museum Gallery, in the Seattle Tower, 1220 Third Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.  Ph: 206-343-1101

 

Kelly Neidig’s abstract landscapes are a broad representation of the land, and are filled with brightly colored stripes that may easily be seen as a fresh interpretation of the Color Field movement.  View artwork here:  www.KellyNeidigFineArt.com.

Drawing upon her experience living and traveling throughout the Northeast, Southwest, and the Pacific Northwest, Neidig’s current body of work is an examination of man’s ceaseless consumption of forests and farmland with our fabricated implements of urban sprawl.  She masks these objects of industry with a liberal application of beautiful colors, allowing nature to assimilate the un-natural back into its fold. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST: 

Born in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania in 1979, Neidig earned a BA in Integrative Arts from Penn State University, in 2001. Her work as a professional painter included time as a scenic painter for Sunbelt Scenic Studios in Tempe, AZ, before moving to Portland, OR in 2005. Neidig’s works have been shown at the Lucia Douglas Gallery, Bellingham; RetroFit, Seattle, and were featured in the 2009 “Representing Abstraction” at the Museum of Northwest Art in La Conner, WA.  Neidig is an Oregon Arts Commission 2010 Individual Artist Fellowship recipient.

M Modern Gallery Signs ʻMod-Cultureʼ Artist George Perrou

Palm Springs, CA – February 10th, 2010: M Modern Gallery of Palm Springs, CA announces itʼs new representation of artist George Perrou. The gallery will begin showing Perrouʼs original paintings and limited edition prints this week to coincide with their kick-off events of 'Modernism Week', an annual celebration of Palm Springs' position as the epicenter of modernist architecture, art and design.

Perrouʼs artwork aligns with the Mid-Century Modernist aesthetic which M Modernʼs specialization is internationally known. Best described as ʻMod-Cultureʼ, Perrouʼs style speaks directly of the Coachella Valley landscape. “I am powerfully moved by vastness,” says Perrou, “of uninterrupted sight and the illusion of endlessness. And because Palm Springs is intentionally designed as a retreat, it's a vast, blank canvas where the bold, unconventional lines of a Wexler can stand and assert themselves amongst the whimsical Seuss-like palm trees. I am honored to be represented in Palm Springs by M Modern.”

M Modern Gallery specializes in mid-century modernist art, designs and objects, and is dedicated to serving its artists, patrons and collectors. Their new venue SHAG The Store opens Feb. 2010. M Modern Gallery (www.MModern.com) was founded in 2003, and is located at 2500 N. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262 - (760) 416-3611
