    NICELLE BEAUCHENE GALLERY Maija Peeples-Bright SEALabrate with Maija! May 31-June 30, 2019 Opening Reception: Friday, May 31, 6-8 pm Nicelle Beauchene is pleased to present a solo exhibition of paintings by Maija Peeples-Bright, spanning three decades of her career from 1971-1996. Titled SEALabrate with Maija!, this exhibition is the artist’s first in New York. For nearly thirty years, Peeples-Bright exhibited at Adeliza McHugh’s Candy Store Gallery in Folsom, California. McHugh was in her fifties and had no formal experience in the art world when she decided to open an art gallery after the local health department shut down her almond nougat business. The Candy Store Gallery became synonymous with the Funk Art movement and Peeples-Bright showed there along side Robert Arneson, Clayton Bailey, Roy De Forest, David Gilhooly, Irv Marcus, and William T. Wiley. Peeples-Bright was introduced to McHugh through her teacher at UC Davis Robert Arneson and had her first exhibition there in 1965. In the late 1960’s, frustrated with the limitations of Funk, Peeples-Bright was a founding member of the Northern Californian movement dubbed Nut Art. Along with Clayton Bailey, Roy De Forest, David Gilhooly, and David Zack, Nut artists sought to create fantasy worlds that were reflective of each artist’s idiosyncrasies and self-created mythologies. Peeples-Bright and others adopted alter egos for this purpose, she was known as “Maija Woof.” In 1972 at California State University Hayward, Clayton Bailey organized the first Nut Art exhibition. A manifesto written for the occasion by Roy De Forest declared: “THE WORK OF A PECULIAR AND ECCENTRIC NUT CAN TRULY BE CALLED ‘NUT ART’… THE NUT ARTIFICER TRAVELS IN A PHANTASMAGORIC MICRO-WORLD, SMALL AND EXTREMELY COMPACT, AS IS THE LIGHT OF A DWARF STAR IMPLODING INWARD.” SEALabrate with Maija! is a glimpse into the colorful world of the artist’s creation.

  • Ed Carpenter, Artist [email protected] Commissions
    ED CARPENT ER 1 Ed Carpenter, Artist [email protected] Revision 2/1/21 Born: Los Angeles, California. 1946 Education: University of California, Santa Barbara 1965-6, Berkeley 1968-71 Ed Carpenter is an artist specializing in large-scale public installations ranging from architectural sculpture to infrastructure design. Since 1973 he has completed scores of projects for public, corporate, and ecclesiastical clients. Working internationally from his studio in Portland, Oregon, USA, Carpenter collaborates with a variety of expert consultants, sub-contractors, and studio assistants. He personally oversees every step of each commission, and installs them himself with a crew of long-time helpers, except in the case of the largest objects, such as bridges. While an interest in light has been fundamental to virtually all of Carpenter’s work, he also embraces commissions that require new approaches and skills. This openness has led to increasing variety in his commissions and a wide range of sites and materials. Recent projects include interior and exterior sculptures, bridges, towers, and gateways. His use of glass in new configurations, programmed artificial lighting, and unusual tension structures have broken new ground in architectural art. He is known as an eager and open-minded collaborator as well as technical innovator. Carpenter is grandson of a painter/sculptor, and step-son of an architect, in whose office he worked summers as a teenager. He studied architectural glass art under artists in England and Germany during the early 1970’s. Information on his projects and a video about his methods can be found at: http://www.edcarpenter.net/ Commissions Bridge And Exterior Public Commissions 2019: Barbara Walker Pedestrian Bridge, Wildwood Trail, Portland, OR, 180’ x 12’ x 8’.

Constructionism had emerged in the 1950s, developing a socially engaged art closely aligned with post-war architecture. Its moment was not to last however, and, as discourses changed in the 1960s and 1970s, constructionism was marginalised.

  • Clayton Bailey (1939 - )
    CLAYTON BAILEY (1939 - ) Clayton Bailey‟s incredible universe defies description. One of the University of California-Davis Funk artists, Bailey uses ceramics, metals, and mixed media to create sculptures that give life to the fantasies going on in his head. His amazingly crafted pieces have been described by others, and indeed by himself, as “Nut Art” or “Crock Art” - they move, they make noises, and above all they refuse to take themselves or the world seriously. ARTIST’S STATEMENT – CLAYTON BAILEY “I like the „magic‟ of converting mud into stone.”1 1. Quoted in: Susan Peterson. The Craft and Art of Clay. Englewood Cliffs, N. J.: Prentice Hall, 1992.

  • New Sculpture at St Andrew Plymouth
    VISION FOR THE PILLARS Commissioning New Art for Churches 2012 Competition Submission of The Minster Church of St Andrew, Plymouth Vision for the Pillars PREFACE - CATCHING THE VISION Do you wish to set out on the adventure of commissioning new art? (Commissioning New Art for Churches, page3) When we responded to the invitation to compete for the Jerusalem Prize we had little idea how exciting an adventure it was to be: from deciding what was going to be our project to completing this stage of the competition, we have discovered so much, met so many interesting people and engaged in processes completely new to us. It has been a roller coaster of a learning experience – and in no small part the Guide has done what its producers aimed to do; stimulated and encouraged us in “a process that has been both enjoyable and rewarding”. From simply considering a sculpture on two pillars at the entrance to a newly acquired space in front of the church, we have come to realise the significance of the space itself as an interface between our bustling City Centre and the church building. From rather modest expectations of a work in metal, in the light of our research on public art, both in our own City and further afield, we have raised our sights expecting that what we achieve will be an iconic work of art, in a material determined by the commissioned artist, to compare in importance with the John Piper windows, which enhance our church in its post-war restoration. We are confident that when we make known our brief, interest will not be limited to local artists.

    1859 214 Design Michael Thonet Michael Thonet 1796 in Boppard am Rhein geboren, absolvierte eine Lehre als Bau- und Möbeltischler. 1819 eröffnete er als Meister seine eigene Werkstatt. Zwischen 1830 und 1836 gelingt ihm die Erfindung der ”Möbel aus gebogenem Holz”. 1842 holt ihn Fürst Metternich nach Wien. Zunächst arbeitet er bei verschiedenen Unternehmen und verfeinert weiter seine Technik des Holzbiegens. 1849 gründet er, zusammen mit seinen 5 Söhnen, die eigene Möbelwerkstatt, 1853 überschreibt er ihnen das Unternehmen, es wird protokolliert unter ”Gebrüder Thonet”. Thonet operiert sehr erfolgreich: auf Weltausstellungen werden die Möbel ausgezeichnet, u.a. in London 1851 und 1862, es entstehen eigene Verkaufsniederlassungen in den Großstädten der ganzen Welt – von Amsterdam bis New York, und der Exportmarkt floriert. Später produzieren rund 6000 Mitarbeiter in 7 Fabriken rund 865.000 Stühle pro Jahr. 1871 stirbt Michael Thonet in Wien. Sein wichtiger Grundsatz war die Familientradition. Heute führt die 5. Thonet-Generation das Unternehmen in Frankenberg (Deutschland), dem 1889 gegründeten Standort. Michael Thonet Michael Thonet born 1796 in Boppard/Rhine River, trained as a very successful operation: the furniture was awarded at World Fairs, among carpenter and joiner.
