St Petersburg Artist Caleb Releases 2 New Paintings Of Roser Park
Roser Park is the sinuous centerpiece of a very old neighborhood in St Pete. The unusual thing about Roser Park is that it is in a deep gulch. Big deal? Not around here. Around the Tampa Bay area, a fifty foot deep gulley is the local equivalent of the Grand Canyon, a veritable Marianas Trench of a topographical feature. Oh, and the neighborhood is kinda cute.
These 18×24 acrylic on canvas paintings are available for viewing at Interior Motives Gallery in St Petersburg.
New Paintings From Caleb
Painting, as usual, in public here at the Interior Motives gallery in St Petersburg, in real time and without a net, Caleb completes two more paintings set in Crescent Lake Park, St Pete. The overwhelming feeling presented is one of heat and mystery, said one onlooker, which sounds about right. These two paintings are 36×36 on stretched canvas, and, unlike the last Crescent paintings, these are not commissioned work and hence are available for purchase.
Interior Motives Artist Caleb Completes Commission In Public
St Petersburg Florida artist Caleb has finished, for a Tampa Collector, another view of St Pete’s Crescent lake, this time looking west across the lake just after sunset. This is a 48 inch square canvas, and is reminiscent of his work from the nineties, when he favored large and frequently equilateral pieces. He is currently at work on two similar 36 inch square canvases which, by contrast, are being done on spec and will be available for purchase when complete.
Caleb Caught Doing Actual Work
Forensic photographic evidence experts may quibble, but here is a shot that purports to catch Caleb in the act of actual painting while hanging out at Interior Motives Gallery in St Petersburg, Fl. Caleb claims to be there working from “oh, uh, like 3:30 or so till, uhm, whenever…” Monday through Friday. We didn’t take this picture, IMG proprietor Leslie Curran’s assistant Kathleen supposedly did, so we have no way of knowing whether or not it is a clever Photoshop assemblage which places him at the easel, brush in hand. Read Caleb’s lies, half-truths and calumnies at his blog, Calebism.
Local Sculptor Leslie Fry Publishes “Wild Life” Documentary Book
Sculptor Leslie Fry, who summers on her modest estate in Vermont and winters here in St Petersburg, has been getting great reviews on her new book “Wild Life“.
Leslie writes:
Hi Caleb,
Thank you always for your wonderful design of the map/announcement card for my park sculpture project last year. I also thanked you in the Acknowledgments of my recently completed book documenting the project:
Wild Life: A Public Art Project, is a 44 page, full color book available at *Lulu.com*
A six-minute video about the project, Wild Life Sculpture Search, can be seen *here*
The book, Wild Life: A Public Art Project, includes an essay by Dr. Nick Capasso, Curator, DeCordova Museum & Sculpture Park, who wrote:
“Wild Life thus acts as a vehicle for a multi-sensory awareness of place and nature. Through artifice, nature is found. The placement [of the sculptures] also intensifies their liminality. They live at the edge – of the wilderness, and of our perception, as if seen in the corner of the eye. Such slippage in and out of awareness is a profound metaphor for the dream world – the mental land where myths are born.”An athletic Leslie Fry inspects Laura Mogollon’s prints at St Petersburg Saturday Art Market.
“Art For A Cure” Show In Tampa Photos
Art for a Cure, an event which featured Caleb, Carolina Cleere, Lori Ballard, Emily Page, Jack Breit, Donna Morrison, Rick Reeves, Jason Fondren and others was well attended and profitable for several of the artists, as well as the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, to which a portion of the proceeds were donated. James Cournoyer of Seven North took a bunch of photos, a few of which appear below.
All artists involved thank Megan Voeller of Artsqueeze, for providing the highest-profile notification for the event, which was otherwise underpromoted. This was not the fault of local media, but of those responsible for promoting this show.
