Keith Haring mural on 21st Street near Washington Ave. Haring came to Philly and worked with the city kids to produce this enduring homage to childhood.
Artist working on the new mural on Spruce near Juniper. DoN will research who the muralist is but the level of design, execution and location provides a feeling of good will and community. There’s a huge new mural at 25th and Oregon that wraps around the Shoprite building with a theme of abundance and living off the land.
Alecia D’Alonzo is landing @ Milkboy Coffee in Ardmore this Friday with her exuberant paintings and drawings; Alecia & DoN collaborated on her new website – www.DalonzoAart.com.
Fantasy 1 by Alecia D’Alonzo. Alecia is bursting back onto the art scene with neo-expressionist paintings and mixed media drawings in the great showcase @ Milkboy.
Carol Prusa draws the pattern on the surface of the dome then highlights with paint, drills holes and installs fiber optics that change pattern. So spacy! Prusa spends hours meticulously drawing the hypnotic patterns. The passage of time and space is inherent to the work on view @ Stedman Gallery on the Rutgers Campus in Camden.
Eric Fauscnacht paints chickens – large scale paintings with exotic fowls portrayed against decorative backdrops. His painterly style is decorative and accessable yet strange and magestic, portraying the humble creatures with style, wit and precision. Shawn Murray‘s gallery is a perfectly beautiful space which features member artists with one or two person shows in the main room and a terrific group of paintings by the other coalition members in the back space. Libby Rosoff commented on how many animal paintings she has been seeing in various shows. DoN has noticed a lot of deer in recent shows; the animal image is primal and deep and must be plucking that nerve string in the group consciousness like a viral meme.

Lauren Sweeney‘s delicate watercolors paired with Fauscnacht‘s elaborate chicken paintings is fantastical, inspiring and strange, the show makes DoN want to get back into the studio and paint.
