Just a short message from Berlin:  Lovely day with sunshine - visited Frankfurt an der Oder -  much of the old Russian occupation  ugliness is still there like in much of the previous east but also beautiful parks, incredible trees and water!  I am sending back a group of paintaings that have not been seen in the USA due to exhibitions in Germany only. So the 4th Friday Railyard exhibit  in October will focus on this `new`work.   It's been a wonderful trip.  Monika

Monika Steinhoff is in Berlin since 1 week.  The artist visited her birthplace, Swinemünde and swam 5 times in the very refreshing waters of the Baltic Sea.  In Berlin she visited the Preview Berlin, the annual international art fair.  Artists and galleries from all over the world,  as far as Japan and Austrialia as  well as China and many eastern block countries.  The art in aSEA Gallery would have made a good showing, and perhaps it will be  there physically soon.  Tomarrow she meets her art rep Peggy Lange in Dreseden to make plans for the future.  

August 20,    Full Moonplan:    Friday, August 30th 5 - 7 A SEA Gallery will highlight the sculptures of Anne Russell for the last Friday Railyard Artwalk. 

Friday August 2nd:  Robert Ensor is back from NYC and will be gallery sitting a few days each month.  We are very happy to have him back and also as Matt Mirancda has had to drop out due to his ailing mom needing his presence ( in another state).  We will miss him and his work and wish him much success in his future.  The "Collective" nature of the gallery is expanding very nicely and also becoming more focused on socially reflective work.

July 4th - work from Freedom

a SEA Gallery has taken on four wonderful, new artists:  joining Robert Ensor in the Outsider Art category is Bill Kaderly whom I learned about through an article in the May THE Magazine.  I drove to Gila, NM  last weekend and saw Bill's gallery/studio/home  which should qualify as a museum with fascinating creatures everywhere one  looked, made from stones, branches and even some modern stuff that is sprayed from a can  and has the look of cactus when finished: snakes, persons, birds, cats. One hallmark of "Outsider" along with self-taught, talented, acute sense of color, beauty and line, etc. is obsessiveness:  the is no end to the  number and variety of beings inhabiting Kaderly's space.  I brought back a couple of dozen pieces,  attempting a definitive selection and it is good and representative, but there is so much more
   Liz Pawlak, a painter retired from a more economically calculable career  has embarked on narrative paintings addressing  global warming.   Susan Jay's beautiful  Retables are well know from the days of Guadalupe Gallery; working with tin and copper, her frames are totally part of the art work.   Anne Russell's   small elegant figurative ceramic sculptures are a perfect fit for the gallery, and so now  we are complete! 

Monsanto and other Slights of Hand

Monsanto has done its environmental undermining for over 50 years, they vilified Rachel Carson for fighting DDT in the 60s. And now want to keep modifying the genetics of food, along with other corporate 'takeovers' (of water, air, land). So Robert Ensor's "Yellow Fish" is high lighted in the last Friday Art walk at A SEA Gallery on June 28th.  

Come see Robert Ensor's work; it is really strong, unusual and timely. Here is an image for the last Friday Railyard Artwalk show entitled: "Monsanto and other Slights of Hand", June 28th, 5-7 pm at A SEA Gallery 407 Guadalupe St.
