I recently entered my first juried art show and I was notified this afternoon that the piece above, titled Gas $1.08 has been accepted into the show. Only about 20% of submitted work was accepted into this show, so it is a huge honor (not to mention really exciting).
This image is printed on a fine art metal medium available from my pro lab. The printing process starts with a layer of white ink to the surface of a 1”-deep brushed aluminum box. The image is then printed on top of the white base coat. It really is a beautiful process and makes this art piece really shine.
There is an artists’ reception this Friday night that is open to the public, feel free to drop by!
Visual Image Fine Art Publishing invites you to the Reception to view the work on exhibit this month.
“Photography & Digital Art Exhibition”
Visual Image Fine Art Publishing
14320 Midway Rd, Suite. #300 (behind OK Paper corner of Proton & Midway – more directions below)
Dallas, TX 75244
Friday night, April 16th, 2010 – 5:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
Featured photographer, Steve Wheeler.
Kay Kallos, Public Art Manager, City of Dallas, Office of Cultural Affairs juried the show.
Many of the artists & photographers will be in attendance to talk about their work.
Visual Image is fairly easy to find. Take Midway to Proton. Proton is a light there and is north of Spring Valley and south of Beltline. If you turn east on Proton from Midway and look right, there is a building at that corner. OK Paper is in the front of the building and Visual Image is at the back – and it faces Proton.
Hope to see you there!
