Gallery Opening – Tinman Gallery – 04-04-08
March 27, 2008
First Friday Cometh! The Tinman Gallery will be featuring the works of oil painter Gordon Wilson. After poking around and looking at some of his work, I really like his style. It’s unique, and surreal. I am really drawn to his faces in particular. (The piece above is called Red Face)
From his Bio:
Working predominantly in oils his subject matter ranges from quirky portraiture and obscure figurative to dynamic landscape. His expressive oil paintings are inspired by his native Scotland; whether dark and moody or an explosion of colour they reflect the ever changing moods of both the countryside and the artist himself.
The artist reception is at the Tinman, on Garland – April 4th, from 5pm – 9pm.

I didn’t mean for the title to rhyme. But it does, I refuse to change it, and now we must live with the cheesiness of it.
We can only do so much here at subpar, and we want to do so much more. We need you essentially, if you have a gallery opening, an art show, or anything remotely similar let us know. We’ll post it, get it out for all to see and maybe even show up ourselves. Just email myself or any other contributor at subpar@subpar.net we’ll do our best to let the world, or our little chunk of it, know.
