Robbie Poore - Artist

The Renaissance Art Gallery is proud to welcome Robbie Poore, Collage artist into the membership of the gallery.

Robbie is an innovative “Green” artist who specializes in 3 dimensional collages. His work is colorful with just the right touch of whimsy. Each piece delights the eyes and begs the viewer to touch!

When asked about his work Robbie said:

“Loose buttons, CD's and broken eye glassesAll glued together to sell to the massesMy old computer, can tabs, and stretched springsThese are a few of my favorite things!”

Robbie’s work is fun and full of action and life. Come in and enjoy this local boy’s work.

Art Photography Show Opens

Photography Show – Color Complements

Well, we made the paper, and TV! The opening reception for our 2nd Fine Art Photography show, Color Complements made a big splash!

Both Media were out and admiring of the work displayed, and we got more than the simple 30 second shot on the news. They took the time to show a pan of the room, and all the really great photos on display as well as our guests in the Kumkum Majumdar Exhibition Hall. One of our winners, Linda Clifford was interviewed, as well as another guest and two gallery members, Gary Taylor and Michael Adkins. Michael, being an active photographer, was able to give some insights in his TV interview.

You can see the newspaper coverage here, as well as more photos of the opening.

It is gratifying to see the reactions to real fine art photography, to know that we really showed them the art in it. All of the submitted photos show great creativity. I think the caliber of the work enter this year far surpasses last years entries, even if the number was down.

Each and every piece showed that the artist really thought about it. These are not simply what they had on hand, but executed and mounted with this challenge in mind. And it was a difficult challenge for photographers, to feature and work with color complements.

But that is what art is all about, problem solving. We take the problem of how to express what we want, consider our medium and then work out our own particular solution.

2nd Annual Fine Art Photography Show

The Show is hung. All the Photos are up, and the judging is done. All that that remains is the opening reception for 2nd Annual Fine Art Photography Exhibition. The reception will be this Sunday, July 11, 2010 at The Renaissance Art Gallery. Awards will be announced at this time along with the awarding of prices. Reception is from 2-4 PM in the Kumkum Majundar exhibition Hall, part of The Renaissance Art Gallery. The room is located on the ground floor of the former Huntington High School building, corner of 8th Street and 9th Avenue. The reception is free and open to the public.

This year’s show focuses on the use of complementary colors in photography. There is a high standard of work, with many innovative and new photography forms. This is the perfect opportunity to see what is happening in fine art photography today. The art in this show will hang until August 1, 2010.

Come in out of the hot sun and enjoy some cool art.
