For this show, artists are challenged to combine two seemingly discordant ideas into one finished artwork. The goal is to discover the unexpected when opposing forces occupy the same physical space. The focus should be on the coalescing of ideas, not mediums.
Submit it by May 16.
With that being said, get busy, take good photographs and remember: Concept is King, Craft is Queen, and Artists are Alchemists.
Thanks for coming. The show is up through April 23rd.
Gallery Hours:
Saturdays, Noon – 6pm
Thursdays, 6pm – 9pm
Fridays, 6pm – 9pm
This exhibition challenges artists to look at a world without color. From subtle shades of grays to black, we are seeking work ranging from realism to surrealism and abstraction.
The Juror, Marat Paransky is a sculptor, painter, photographer and mixed-media artist. Born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1986, his family settled in Mero Detroit in 1997. He received an MFA degree in Visual Arts from the Lesley University College of Art & Design in Cambridge, MA, and undergraduate degrees in fine arts and political science. His art has been exhibited throughout Michigan, as well as in Boston, San Francisco, Fayetteville, AR, and Windsor, ON.
Marat’s work generally falls under the umbrellas of themed projects. One body of work focuses on the nuclear power/weapons industry. It combines his interest and research into the nuclear disasters, as well as its ties to his early childhood in Ukraine. Another project looks at chance and found objects/images. It takes the form of collage and assemblage, and there is often the inclusion of bits and pieces of Marat’s older artworks. Finally, there is the group of works that deals with recent political and artistic developments. The emphasis here is on text, language and symbols from everyday life, and it takes a more personal and self-reflexive approach.

This exhibition is raising money for a local animal shelter. Artists keep 100 percent of any sales. Glad to have made the cut from over 500 artist’s submissions. The exhibit is up and running now.
After my fifth pandemic painting titled Ghost Golfers, I decided to work in a different medium. I’ve been writing and recording songs with my good friend Doug Shimmin under the band name the Covid Bros.
In late June, we released our first album, Essential Works with the guidance of Corey Roberts of Nub Records and digital distribution by CDBaby. You can find it wherever you stream or download your digital music, and we hope you do.
Songwriting, recording, and producing has really captivated my complete attention over this crazy spring and summer. There’s been so much to write about. I look forward to getting back in the studio to paint, however, we are finishing up our second release and hope to launch it this fall. After that, I will start painting again.
In the meantime, if you’re curious, check out our site, listen, share, and comment on Essential Works if you feel inspired.
En plein air is a French term that simply means painting out in the open. Plein Jane is a brand new character that I’ve created to help express my insecurities as an artist with humor.
Wow, this is a wonderful surprise to be featured as one of the artist among this very creative bunch of 25 Detroit area artists. Thanks for the recognition Metro Times.
