Flint Hills Forever @ Strecker Nelson Gallery

Last night was an incredible night at the Flint Hills Forever opening. I had the pleasure of meeting many Artists that I admire. Meeting the personality behind each masterpieces gives me even more admiration for their work. My dearest friends Bill and Carol McCall were the first I greeted as usual.
Their work is phenomenal and they are simply just awesome people.

Above image: Debra Clemente- I had an eye for her work the first time I was in Strecker Nelson a few years back. Its good to finally meet the artist. Incredibly talented, warm and intelligent person. It was a blast hanging out yesterday!

Below: James Borger - It isn't hard to admire what he is doing. I exhibit in two galleries with this incredibly gifted painter. Through conversations we had at the opening yesterday, we have much in common professionally. Full-time Art Director, family man and an established Artist, now that is some determination and ambitious man. The depth and lighting is his mastery in his paintings.

SUMMER GARDEN IN REVIEW!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Round and Ripe: Allan Chow

By Steve Brisendine April 24, 2010

In the world of food, it's awfully hard to beat simplicity, freshness and careful preparation. And when edibles become the subject of visual art, the same things hold true.
Allan Chow's Summer Garden series of oil paintings, making its debut this month at the 39th Street location of Blue Koi, follows a simple and straightforward theme. Chow, usually known for land- and seascapes,  is working on a much smaller scale this time around.
He offers flawless, oversized, richly textured fruits and flowers, presented one to a canvas against clean (but also texture-intensive, thanks to his trademark palette-knife work) backgrounds. Placed as they are, on the left-hand wall in the restaurant's entryway, Chow's paintings provide a bright and bracing first course for the eyes even before diners take their seats.
The lush curves of skin (as typified in Cherry, pictured above) and petal add yet another dimension to the visual flavor profile: a layer of sensuality that ties in perfectly with the seductive aspects of food-sharing.
I just love how the theme goes so well in restaurants, especially at one of my favorites in town, Chow writes. My goal is to travel all over town the rest of this year exhibiting these series of paintings.
To that end, the next stop on the tour will be at ARTichokes in Leawood's Mission Farms development. The Summer Garden works go on display there next month ... and as convenience would have it, there's a Blue Koi location in Mission Farms as well, enabling those who love Chow's bold, sun-drenched paintings and the restaurant's noodles and dumplings to get both fixes in virtually one stop.
Nothing wrong with combining simple pleasures, after all ...

YOUR COMMENTS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED,

I just love how the theme goes so well in restaurants especially at one of my favorites in town.
Thank you all who came out! I hope you enjoyed the show and I hope I have gained a fan or two this month.

My goal is to travel all over town the rest of this year exhibiting these series of paintings.
I have many more in my studio waiting to take the place of paintings that sold. Thank you collectors for your support. Next stop in May: Artichokes KC in Mission Farms. More details to follow.
