UPCOMING EXHIBITION: SMALL WORKS




Small Works: Art + Object -a small sculpture invitational group exhibition, featuring strange and fantastic small art objects from a selection of 15 stellar artists. The exhibition runs November 20 - December 23, 2010, with an opening reception: Saturday, November 20, 6-8pm.



This assembly of sculpture debunks the trend that “bigger is better,” and by working within a small format, these artists have created a mess of random creatures and fascinating objects that demonstrate the power of big ideas imagined in scaled-down and accessible forms.

NEW WORK BY ARCHIE SCOTT GOBBER

I Draw Conclusions, 2008, gouache on board, framed, 16 x 19 in.

Opening November 12, 2010 at Dolphin Gallery, Archie Scott Gobber continues his satirical word play, painting with a graphic, billboard display aesthetic and bold visual languange. In his new work, Gobber captures a subtle, nuanced blend of political commentary and commercial advertising, displaying surprisingly colorful and often searing catch-phrases.

@ Dolphin Gallery, November 12, 2010 - January 8, 2011
1600 Liberty Street, Kansas City, MO 64102
