2018 The Year in Review

2018
was an eventful year at Studio 419.

First came the name change,

from Dan's Recycled Art to Studio 419.

The year started with the Affiliates Artist show at 

Riverview Renaissance Center for the Arts.

==========================================================

In April I was the featured artist at

An Octopus's Garden. 

This has become an annual event for Earth Day.

======================================================

June was a busy month.

I completed Community Spirit

for Homan Park in Swedesboro

                

                         

======================================================

Also in June

I held my first Open House and Sale 

at Studio 419

=========================================================

In September I began exhibiting
in an exciting new gallery in Swarthmore, PA

=====================================================

The year ended with Christmas sales 

at various galleries.

================================================

Of course, none of this would be possible without
my lovely wife and agent extraordinaire,
Patrice

Undersea Creatures at Studio 419

A Second Chance

Monument to Industry

My latest show.

"A Second Chance"

will feature over 40 new 

pieces of sculpture.

Dark Ruins

Contrivance #1

These pieces are created from

the discarded items of modern industry.

I've taken found pieces of scrap metal

and collected parts of old machinery

and given them a second chance at life

as new pieces of art.

comporre`

Created from objects found and collected on the highways of southern New Jersey,

comporre` is a sculpture that presents a compelling vision.

The heavy center piece, 

combined with the attached chain, 

(just as it was found), evokes a sense of strength.
The circle attempts to keep that strength within bounds,
but the chain escapes those bounds and roots the entire piece to the earth.

Suitable for indoor or outdoor display,

indoor is preferred.

It has not been coated or sealed in any way.

All the components are in their found condition,

except for some sharp edges that have been removed.

.

The chain is free to move and can be rearranged to create a variety of views.

As the new year begins, I thought I'd
just post a few photos of some of my
sculpture from the past year.

An Octopus's Garden

"An Octopus's Garden" is a wonderful
shop located in the Village on High shopping

village in Millville, NJ.  This is in the heart of
Millville's art district. Mike and Maryann, the owners, are great folks who will warmly
welcome you to their shop.







They feature an eclectic mix of one-of-a-kind

handmade items created by local artists. You
won't find any cheesy, mass-produced,
products there. If that is what you want,
there is a Wal-Mart down the road.
However, if you are looking for a truly
unique item, be it a piece of jewelry, a painting,
a piece of sculpture, or maybe some artistic
stationary, then this is the place for you.

Whether shopping for yourself or looking
for that perfect gift, they are sure to have
something to fit the bill, AND you won't
have to break the bank. They have items
appropriate for every budget.





I'm proud to display my work at "An
Octopus's Garden".  So stop in sometime
soon and see what they have in store.
You're sure to find something exciting and new.

I Heart Art - Second Attempt

The art event, I Heart Art, originally scheduled

for August 27 was postponed due to inclement
weather.We were all set to go back in August
when Hurricane Irene decided to blow through.
 So the show was postponed for the safety of
all those involved.







So now we are set to give it a go again. The date
is set : October 29, 2011, 7-10 pm.. The place is
the same : 22 East Palmer Ave, Collingswood, NJ.
The admission is still FREE. And the weather has
cooled off. So now it's time to go on with the show.

There will be a diverse group of artists eager to
show their work and happy to talk with the
guests about their artwork.





 So come on out and have a fun evening of music
and art.
