DoN spotted stadler-Khan designs at the InLiquid V.13 exhibit in the Crane Arts Center. There was a moment when a beautiful lady wearing a jacket made in the diamond pattern, but in a different color way, were in the same space at the same time as a display of patterned, woven scarves. It was magical, Kiki Gafney Philadelphia painter, created a mini performance piece just walking by the table. The bold pattern draws attention, Alex Stadler designs the pattern and color combinations to be bold, exciting and strong.

“I opened here on June 1st, we’ll have our one year anniversary. I started the scarf company in the Fall of 2011. The store really started in a way to show my textiles. But, man can not live by textiles alone, so, I just started making the store that I always wanted it to be.” – Alex Stadler

“So, it’s a mix. The ceramics are from the middle of the last century, I have a special table now for Waylande Gregory, we have him as well. He lived from 1905 to 1971. I work with his estate so I have a lot of pieces by him. He had pieces in the 1939 Worlds Fair and got lots of commissions, this work is work he did for high end department stores. As a money-maker.

I’ve always done well with textile design, that’s one I did for Donghia. In 2010 I really focussed on my children’s books and writing them and then I just missed pattern, so it was time.” – Alex Stadler

Larry Collins, charcoal and graphite drawings on paper, stadler-Khan

Alex Stadler is excited about the upcoming art show in his space featuring the drawings of Larry Collins and Dermot Meagher. The stylish design studio on Sansom Street is amazing and Alex shared a sneak peek of the upcoming art show featuring two prominent Massachusetts artists. Larry Collins is an art consultant and fine artist, Dermot Meagher is a fine artist, novelist and retired judge, both are influential Provincetown area artists.

“Dermot Meagher, pronounced ‘Mar’, does these lovely drawings, the images are very light-hearted. He’s coming for the opening. They’re both gentlemen in their late 60s, early 70s, both, Larry actually is a Viet Nam Veteran and Dermot, they’re both veterans from that period of time. We’ll have both of their drawings here on exhibit and Dermot will be here.

Dermot is also a novelist, he writes mystery novels, and he’s also the first openly gay judge in Massachusetts. He’s a really cool guy. It’s going to be a really nice show.”

“A graduate of the University of Oklahoma and the Massachusetts College of Art, the value of his artistic training became starkly evident to Collins during the Vietnam War, when he was pulled from an infantry line company to become an Army combat artist and photographer.” – Larry Collins
