"Structure Meets Nature"

Sewickley, PA: January 09. Photographer, Mark Panza will exhibit his latest images at Élan Fine Art Gallery from January 9 through February 20, 2009. Reception Jan. 9 from 6-9 PM.

For Mark Panza the mystery of the human figure, the elements, flora, and modern architecture, are primal inspirations as he captures the world around him. Through the artful use of digital cameras and an Apple computer, he merges these elements into highly personalized imagery. As these separate components begin to converse, new relationships are revealed, and there is an alchemical reaction that Panza finds compelling.

Mark has owned and operated Panza Frame and Gallery in Millvale, PA for over two decades. Utilizing the vast framing materials at his disposal, Panza concocts novel ways of presenting his photos. He masterfully incorporates a panel system that adds a dynamic component to his compositions, leading the viewer’s eye slowly across the image’s surface. In addition, he employs reverse-angled degrees and levels, adding increased dimensionality to his work. These innovative methods become cues for the viewers interpretation.Panza exhibits throughout the Pittsburgh area and his work is in numerous collections nationwide.

Sewickley, PA October 2008

http://www.elanarts.com/

Élan Fine Art Gallery will feature an exhibit of pastel and charcoal drawings on paper by the late regional artist, Michael J. Changnon from Nov. 7 to Dec. 30, 2008. Opening reception Nov. 7 from 6 – 9 pm.

“Shine: Drawings by Michael Changnon,” will display approximately 15 original pastel drawings produced from 1986 to 2000. It includes a seven and a half- foot drawing entitled “Tulips” which hung in the Andy Warhol Museum after Changnon’s passing as part of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh Annual Show. Other drawings include “Cowboy,” Shine,” Three Suns,” “Dawn,” “Fire Truck,” “ Faces,” “Genesis” and more. Well known for his colorful and witty pastel drawings and integral titles, Changnon’s work continues to delight art audiences.

As far back as 1970, Ruth Drescher reviewed his show at the Undercroft Gallery and likened Changnon’s work to Joan Miro, saying “they have something very much in common: the capacity to give joy and mirth.”

“I would rank him as one of the major artists of this region,” said Harry Schwalb, former art critic for the Post-Gazette and contributing editor of ARTnews, “ his work is sophisticated, witty, compassionate, fully contemporary, and distinctively his. This is no mean feat: to have evolved a style that is uniquely one’s own. Michael Changnon has done this.”

Michael Changnon (1943-2002), was a founding member of the Slippery Rock University Art Department and was a faculty member there for 34 years, where he taught photography, painting and drawing. He received his Bachelor’s and Masters of Fine Arts degrees from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
He served on the Board of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and began exhibiting with the group in 1970.

Changnon’s exhibits in the Pittsburgh area included one-man shows at the Westmoreland Museum of Art, The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, The Undercroft Gallery, Zenith Gallery, Metropol, St. Vincent’s College and Carson Street Gallery. Thirty-eight years ago, Changnon had a successful show at the Bird in Hand Gallery in Sewickley at the same Élan Gallery location.

Throughout his career, Changnon’s drawings were included in many national juried shows and have received numerous awards. His work was represented by Neo Persona Gallery in New York; the Christopher/ John Gallery in Santa Monica, California; ArtForms Gallery in Sarasota, Florida, as well as the Zenith and Carson Street Galleries in Pittsburgh. He exhibited and judged at the Three Rivers Art Festival and area group exhibitions, and taught and judged photography at the Pennsylvania Governor’s School for Fine Arts from 1994-1998.

Elan Gallery, Changing Gears, New Work by Marjorie E. Arnett, April 5 to April 26 2008

“Changing Gears” New Work by Marjorie E. Arnett
Opens at Élan Fine Art Gallery, Sewickley, PA

Artist Reception Saturday April 5, 6 to 9 PM through April 26, 2008

Marjorie Arnett recently retired as Assistant Dean of the College of Fine Arts, Indiana University of Pennsylvania to work full time from her home studio in Leetsdale, PA. Arnett is an interdisciplinary artist, a published playwright and poet. Represented in private and corporate collections she has exhibited throughout the United States and Europe.

If there has been a pattern to Marjorie’s work and life over 40 years of painting, it has been one of Changing Gears, forcing styles to converge and cross pollinate onto the canvas.

In Arnett’s flower paintings one sees the interplay between natural forms and abstract semblances of these forms; from this the appearance of something altogether unexpected dawns.

Other new works are playful, color filled compositions, reflecting the silliness of Dr. Seuss meeting the soberness of Ayn Rand in the parlor for tea. The viewer is often asked to recognize part of oneself as a child in these playful color filled compositions.

The final group of paintings represents Changing Gears toward simplicity and a look toward the future. Large bold shapes speak of a straight forward energy through the placement of color, line and form.

Artist Christo Braun at Elan Gallery in Sewickley

http://www.pghgalleries.com

Resin on Steel: A new painting medium delights the eyes.

Sept 14 reception at Elan Gallery Sewickley, PA. September, 2007.

Artist Christo Braun will exhibit new paintings at Elan Gallery 427 Broad St. Sewickley, Pa. Public reception during Sewickley Art Walk Sept. 14, 6-9 pm. Artist Talk Sept. 30, 3 pm. Hrs: Tues-Sat, 11 am-6 pm.Inspired by nature, Braun?s luminous paintings straddle the border between abstraction and representation, allowing the viewer to participate in the emotion of the image rather than its interpretation. "Painterly distillations of remembered perception and emotion," writes Dewitt Cheng of SanFranciscoArtmagazine.com, "they operate as metaphors for nature's operations: they breathe and flow."

One must stand in front of these near "holographic" images in order to appreciate them. The translucent glazes of pigmented resin on the reflective stainless steel shimmer and change as one's point of view changes. Selections from his breakout "Open Water" and "Riverwaters" series will accompany new work created since his arrival in Pittsburgh one year ago. Braun's work is collected internationally. ?
