Artwork by Pennsylvania artist
*Zachary Brown*

As a figurative painter, Zachary’s artistic subject has always been the human form. In his early studies, Zachary found inspiration through portraiture and connected strongly with iconic & macabre images of religion. After a trip to Italy, his familiar portraits, modeled by friends and family, captured religious saints and religious deities as subjects. His classical technique and imagery of traditional religious art are contrasted with geometric, flat designs used as backgrounds. He uses images and symbols of Christian iconography, comparing and merging religions, Gnostic gospels, hierarchies, angels, fallen angels and countless saints to comment on the human state and fragility.

A recent graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Zachary Brown, produces his first solo exhibition. The exhibition is produced by moxie DaDA in collaboration with Joan Barenbregge of Elan Fine Art Gallery.

The Pittsburgh Art Blog

The Pittsburgh Art Blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20,2007. pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.

the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh artist advocate rick byerly.

Hello Friends,

moxie DaDA gallery is proud to host artist Connie Cantor’s second solo exhibition with us, “SCRIBBLING FOR DUMMIES”, JUNE 6 – 20, 2009. You are invited to a special opening reception this Saturday June 6, 2009 from 6:00-9:00pm. As always, this reception is free and open to the public. Connie has been exploring with lines and unconscious marks to produce a dialogue of which cannot be heard. Her new series challenges us to use our own intuition by offering an interactive “scribbling” – making our own marks and creating our own dialogues. These marks come from an inner dialogue and expression… uncovering patterns and conversations within our selves.

Connie Cantor's current work explores the freedom and fluidity of "not knowing." Working in dialogue with the intuitive mark, Cantor gives language to an alphabet of effortless line and form. The work is random, playful, obsessive, informed by the inherent fertility of movement stripped of plan. "I am drawn to the strength and validity of accident." says Cantor. "There is an intelligence here that cannot be preconceived—a wiser voice I have chosen to trust and honor. The deeper the surrender of outcome, the more vital the conversation."

Mark your calenders and start assembling your team for the scribbling event of the year, "Scribblefest" on Saturday June 20 at 7:00pm. Stay tuned for details, as follow-up e-mail will be sent again before the event. See you soon!

moxie DaDA welcomes back Robert D. Huckestein for a special exhibition examining the motives of world leaders, past and present. The topically themed "Politics and Other Vices" premiers this Saturday, November 1, 2008. The reception will be held the same day, from 6:00-9:00pm.

No matter what side of the fence you are on, you will find Mr. Huckestein's realist paintings to be fascinating. This is the culmination of a two year effort, and has been scheduled since the beginning to coincide with the transition that our nation is about to undertake."The paintings I have done for this show express my contempt for people that will do whatever they can to maintain their power over others. Power for the sake of power is a vice, which we must protect ourselves against."

-Robert D. Huckestein

moxie DaDA gallery will celebrate its 4th ANNIVERSARY this month. As always, we have a special exhibit to mark the occasion. Guest curator and Chatham University senior Kari Garber has been handed the reigns this month as part of her tutorial project examining the exhibition of non-Western imagery in Western society. Kari has selected Prajna Paramita Parasher and her works of 2D digital multimedia.

The opening reception will be held this Saturday, October 4, 2008 from 6-9:00pm and is free and open to the public. The exhibit runs through Saturday October 25, 2008.

"...beyond stimulating aesthetics, Parasher’s work in 2-D digital multimedia reveals intriguing complexities. Acting as curator on this project presents a unique learning opportunity to explore exhibition theory and practice on a more intimate level, while also serving as a foundation for deeper research into issues facing an ever-expanding global art community. From historical appropriation to the modern day Diaspora, this project seeks to examine the challenges of exhibiting cultural content outside the realms of familiar understanding. A Beholding will serve as the embodiment of research dealing with the exhibition of Non-Western themes and motifs in American society." -guest curator Kari Garber

Candy Dreams of Spacemen: Corey LeChat @ Moxie Dada August 9, 2008

Saturday Aug 09, 2008 6-9 PM (possibly til 10pm)
Moxie Dada Gallery@ The Firehouse, 1416 Arch Street Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15212 View Map

Creepy meets eye candy in the always dreamy, strikingly cinematic and artfully playful photographic explorations of Pittsburgh-based artist Corey LeChat.

Candy Dreams of Spacemen: Corey LeChat’s photographic odyssey fuels moxie DaDA Gallery Sat, Aug 9, 6-9 p.m. The exhibit runs until August 30, 2008.

Creepy meets eye candy in the always dreamy, strikingly cinematic and artfully playful photographic explorations of Pittsburgh-based artist Corey LeChat, whose latest series of 35 mm color photographs is featured in a new exhibition opening Saturday at moxie DaDA Gallery on the North Side.
Prepare to step into the LeChat’s singular photographic stratosphere, as the artist turns the watchful gaze of his lens toward toy rocket ships, off-kilter astronauts and color-drenched dimensions, creating psychologically charged tableaux that confront viewers with their unsettling blend of the surreal and hyper-real.

At once in your face and ethereal, LeChat’s painterly technique results in dreamlike images that seem to capture his subjects in both frozen and free fall moments. In LeChat’s galaxy, attack ships rage in colorful bursts of fire and light, while space vessels shimmer in the vast dark universe.

LeChat’s work has been exhibited at The Three Rivers Arts Festival, Silver Eye Center for Photography, Pittsburgh Filmmakers, Fe Gallery, and the Carnegie Museum of Art. Recognized with purchase awards from Four Systems and Westinghouse, LeChat has also shown work in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Prague, and Japan.

Fittingly, Saturday’s reception will feature an original Theremin score (think sci-fi horror flick meets Good Vibrations) composed and performed by LeChat himself. In between all of the mind-altering sights and sounds, nosh on out of this world space snacks and sip neon-hued Tang.

Call it one giant step for creativity.

Update- Some info says 6-9 pm others 7-10pm- I called Moxie Dada and they confirmed it opens at 6pm- could go to 10pm based on crowd.

moxie Dada "Passages" by Randie Snow, May 10-31 2008

"Passages" by Randie Snow, May 10-31 2008

"Passages" Randie Snow

moxie DaDA presents the artwork of local artist, Randie Snow. Randie has been collecting things her entire life – a lot of them seemingly innocuous, mundane little objects with no apparent meaing. But when Snow discovered assemblage, she knew instantly why all of these things had come into her life.

Each of these objects is like a new friend - a friend that needs a new home, maybe some direction, and a new purpose. "Often we meet during my everyday routine; they're living in the middle of the street, hiding in dark little corners at flea markets, or cowering at the bottom of drawers in my house. It's not always clear why we cross paths. It takes time for me to get to know them, and it takes a while for them to be comfortable with me. But when the mutual recognition happens, it's powerful. Each one of them has a story, a history, and when the time is right, they tell me what they want to say."

And so, instead of an artist, Ms. Snow becomes a medium of sorts. She helps her new little friends find their voice and tell a new story that they've discovered - together

A public reception will be held, Saturday, May 10, 2008 from 6-9 p.m.

Ardent Heart abstract oil paintings by Joshua Hogan at moxie DaDA gallery

moxie DaDA gallery
cordially invites you to the chocolate and wine reception for:
ARDENT HEART
abstract oil paintings by Joshua Hogan
which will be held on:
Saturday, November 10th, from 6 pm - 9 pm.
Free and open to the public.











moxie DaDA is located in Pittsburgh's North Shore:
1416 Arch Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15212
P. 412 682 0348
http://www.moxiedada.com



Ardent Heart is a Portrait of the Artist, Joshua Hogan, as a Painter. The
exhibition visually describes Joshua's moral, psychological, and social
growth as a painter. Each painting questions Joshua's origin, authority,
and the relationship between him and family, artistic peers, and society.

Joshua paints the stream of consciousness of his mind; He explores the
process of seeing abstract until clarity results. His artistic style,
which can be described as "l'art informel", emphasizes spontaneity,
irrationality, and freedom of form. Without fear of accidental marks or
unexpected brushstrokes, Joshua paints to escape from both the artistic
and social definition of modernism toward something wholly "other".

Joshua invites you to "meet in the real world the unsubstantional image
which his soul so constantly beholds".

Ardent Heart is on exhibit from November 3rd through November 24th.
