Discover Local Artists: Steve Konopacki


(The original article appears at pbpulse.com)

The exhibit, Inner Space – large scale paintings by Steve Konopacki, runs through October 7 at the Jan and Gary Dario Gallery, HU Bldg., Palm Beach State College, Lake Worth campus.

Wellington resident Steve Konopacki teaches college composition at Palm Beach State College, where his classes integrate the techniques of the formal writer with those of the word-painter.

His abstracts are hard to categorize, since he aims for his viewers to go beyond their rational search for meaning and explore the place within themselves that is without language, where color and relationships work together.

“I invite the viewer into the world where thought has passed from thinking, by capturing the latent silence found in the space between hard-edged shapes and scale,” he said. ” The interpreting mind passes from language-based semantic identification (what does it mean?) towards a stillness…towards still ‘life.’

“In the movement from recognizable shapes into the surrounding silence, the constantly churning mind —the mind that demands meaning from all things — calms down and accepts the shape as a shape, not what it should become.”

Palm Beach State College is at 4200 S. Congress Avenue, Lake Worth. Gallery Hours are 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For information, contact Kristin Miller Hopkins at (561) 868-3909.

The Sketchbook Project


A friend sent me a link for the The Sketchbook Project 2011 tour and here is a link to a video on CNN. It's sort of like a concert tour but for sketchbooks. Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country. If you are interested check out this link

More Urban Art- Ben Eine

I wanted to add another urban art image. This piece is by Eine and is located 1 block away from SDC Gallery on Rivington Street in London.
As an artist and graphic designer I appreciate artists who use type artistically. If you visit Eine's web site you will see he sells reproductions of his artwork.

Are you an artist or designer and do you want to sell your art? Do you have a web site? If you don't you should take a course in web design at Palm Beach State College.
