The latest exhibition at Buffalo’s Studio Hart is “We Were Here: Ten Years of Studio Hart Artists.”  Owner Barbara Hart looks back on 10 years of exhibits and displays work by over 100 artists who have shown in the gallery.  Barbara has been a key figure in the renaissance of the Allentown neighborhood and the growth of the city’s art scene. Every First Friday of the month, art lovers flood into her small but powerful space, enjoying the laid-back atmosphere. The current show opened on Friday, February 3^rd and was jam-packed!

I am honored have my mixed-media assemblage, ‘The Cook’, included in Barbara’s latest show. It combines spray paint, oil and acrylic with pages from a cookbook. The piece is framed with old recycled wood molding and includes song lyrics running up the side and over the top. The piece is 14” square and 2.25 “ deep and is part of a long series of Buffalo faces that I have been working on for a while.

 The show will be up until February 25^th.  Studio Hart is located at 65 Allen Street, Buffalo NY 14202 (716-536-8337 – hartworld@mac.com ) Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11:30 to 3:30 and Saturday, Noon to 4:00.
