In the Gallery
Comic book art, illustration, and colorful Alternative Realism by three young artists is being shown at the gallery for the month of February. A public opening reception for the artists, D.C. McQueen, Josh Roberts and Jaime Marie D’Errico will be held on Friday, Feb. 5th from 6:00 – 7:30 pm.
Most of McQueen’s pieces in the show come from her comic series ‘Spades’ (spadescomic.com) and ‘A Sadistic Muse’. With comics, she finds the juxtaposition of words and images most satisfying. She is also an accomplished illustrator and web site designer. She currently resides in Unity.
Roberts, who also lives in Unity, has loved comic art for his whole life. His work is influenced by the black and white renderings of American comic pencilers and inkers. He uses not only ink but a knife to cut out areas of light which brings a tactile dimension to his work. His web based endeavors include OnlineComics.net, ComicSpace and currently, Doodlepress.org.
D’Errico, after exploring various media, chiefly acrylics, currently produces strong colorful works with elaborate forms and lines using colored pencil on Bristol paper. The pencil pigment is applied in such a way that the works seem to find ground between drawing and painting; a style she refers to as Alternative Realism. Jaime lives in the Belgrade Lakes region with her husband, four cats, a hamster and many charming fish.
The gallery is open when there are performances or other functions scheduled or by appointment at your convenience. Call 568-3147 or 948-7469 for more information.
