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

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.

New Pieces for Upcoming Summer Shows

 Here are a few new pieces 

that I will be debuting at one or another of my summer shows.

Look for these pieces this summer.

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.

GCC #2

My show at Gloucester County
College went extremely well.
Here are a few photos.

I Gotta Get Better

I really must do a better job of keeping
current with my posts. It seems there
is always something else to do.













Since my last post, I have been busy.
I've had shows in Millville, Ocean City,
Lancaster and Berwyn.

I've also been doing well on my Etsy
shop. You can view my Etsy shop
here.

I have a show coming up next month
at Gloucester County College. I will
be posting more about that next week.
I promise.

All the pieces shown on this page
have found new homes. I hope their
new owners enjoy them as much
as  did

Earth Day 2013

 

 

 

 

 

Once again An Octopus's Garden has invited

me to be the featured artist for Earth Day Weekend.

I really enjoy being a part of the Earth Day

celebrations. It gives me an opportunity to show

what can be done with used and recycled materials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are many people doing many amazing

things with recycled material, from art to building

construction, and everything in between. One doesn't

need to be overly creative or have to "think outside

the box" to be a part. Just using one less paper cup

or napkin a day is an easy way to help protect our

dwindling and fragile resources.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year's festivities kick off with the Third Friday

events on Friday, April 19, 2013, 6-9:30 pm.

Third Friday is always fun. The art district stays open

late and there is music all over town with great shopping,

food and drink.

 

 

 

 

I have been busy making new sculpture for the weekend.

I will also have with me more of my WORDS . They always

seem to be a favorite.

 

 

I have created a new series of sculpture, STICKS. These

are small sculptures designed to be both fun and

affordable. I have made one larger version of a STICK

sculpture that will be given to a lucky attendee. So stop by

and put your name in the hat.

 

 

 

 



This sculpture will be given away to the winner of the drawing.

Update

It's been quite a while since my last
post, so I thought it was time to catch up
on a few things.


I was in a show at Annex 24 Gallery in Lancaster,
PA for the months of November, December, and
January. The show was a success, with throngs
of people out enjoying the holiday events.


I had a great time up there. We got to see the
sights around Lancaster County, which is always one
of our favorite places to visit.

Crusade

This Saturday, March 23, I will be in a show opening
 at Tria Art Gallery in Woodbury, NJ. Tria is a new
gallery that just recently opened. It's nice to see
the arts coming to some local towns in the
Gloucester County area.



I will once again be the Featured Artist for Earth
Day Weekend at An Octopus's Garden in
Millville, NJ.  More on that later.


So I have been keeping busy. I just haven't been
keeping current with my posts on here.
