Well, folks, it's that time of year again.
Our own Satchel Raye & his good pal & artist , Lennie Kesl , will be showing their latest work.
This is always a fun , lively , & energy-filled show.
I suggest you check it out----starting Tuesday December 6.
Here is a bit about them---
Satchel Raye:I am an artist who opened a pizza place to make a living. These days with parenting & running a restaurant I only find time for about 8 paintings a year.. I've been alternating between symmetrical & asymmetrical each year & this year they are asymmetrical. Also I often work with paper & fabric making collage that I also paint on. This year I've got 4 collages & 4 paintings. After finishing a painting it usually goes behind the door of my bedroom & so I enjoy the chance to get the years work up on the walls & look at it all together. As for the content, basically I just enjoy the interplay of shapes & colors to create a feeling.... usually somehow connected to my state of mind. While they are all purely abstract often they do resemble "something".
Lennie Kesl--
Lennie, an icon of sorts in the Gainesville art scene, studied at L'Atelier Fernand lager in Paris ( France that is )in 1949--& at the University of Colorado at Boulder from 1956-1957. He earned his MFA from Michigan State University in 1957.
"I went all over the place", Kesl said ," Alaska, Cincinnati, Montana. I was an art teacher for 35 years. I retired at 65 & became free to paint , sleep alot, read alot, & do whatever i want".
Lennie taught at UF from 1968-1972-----& at Santa Fe College from 1972-1981.
