Insomnious Whether positive or negative, artist Jason Shawn Alexander hopes his abstract figurative works evoke some response. “The one thing I always want in all my work is some form of emotive connection,” the artist says from his studio in Los Angeles. In his first solo show at 101/Exhibit in Miami, titled Insomnious, Alexander presents mostly images stemming from right before sleep or right after waking up, as seen in Insomnia in which two female figures are superimposed on each other. “There’s more of that image making in this show, and from the title of that painting came the show title. It seemed to fit because I don’t sleep well at all,” says Alexander. “It’s the perfect title for a large collection of images that are disjointed and come from a restless mind.” For Art Basel Week: Claudio Ethos, Brazilian wunderkind of the evolved urban street art movement, will install an astonishing, multi-dimensional illustration on the exterior wall of 101/exhibit between Dec. 2 and Dec. 6. Inside the gallery, an Ethos exhibition featuring new works will run through January 20, 2010. & Painter David Michael Bowers gets (Sur) Bowersdelves into a world that has been described as “surrealistic,” “contemporary fantastic” and “illusionary,” as he blends modern themes and whimsical ideas with the techniques of the great masters.

Gallery Night Reception Saturday Nov.14, 7 – 10 Doering, Sensational, acrylic on canvas and serigraphy, 2009, 51 x 51 in.	Art Basel Week: From Nov. 30 – January 8, 2010 Joerg Doering, Nostalgic Pop Adamar Fine Arts will host German Pop artist Joerg Doering for a solo exhibition of his large-scale iconographic images of Pop culture of yesteryear and today. Born in Germany in 1965, Doering is a child of the Pop Art Movement. "Pop art was my first aware meeting with art, and I was suddenly thrilled. Maybe because I was born in this time and grew up with this languag.” Doering first worked with Comic art icons such as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, yet always combined the cartoons with his own characters. Later he turned more to movie icons of era's past such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Steve McQueen. The work makes a commentary on historical place and iconic status of the characters he paints. The result is a new fresh look at a bye-gone era's movers and shakers through ever challenging and discerning eyes. In Marilyn Sensational, Doering asks us to question just how sensational her life really was. With a large representation in Europe, Doering brings his newest work to Miami during Art Basel as a clever, fresh look at what defines pop culture then and now.

October 10, 7 – 10 Artist will be in attendance Gretechen Minnhaar, Sunday in the Park, 2009, acrylic, collage on wood, resin, 36 pieces 10" x 8" - 8" x 6"	Block Party at 4141 Evet to Benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Gretchen Minnhaar. Celebration on the Grand Gretechen Minnhaar's artistic journey has crossed the boundary between two cultures - that of South America where she spent her childhood in Argentina and that of North America where she spent her professional life in Michigan. While working as an architect, she carried sketchbooks with her as she traveled and recorded the colors and images of unfamiliar places. It was the experience of creating these visual journals that drew her to art as a full time commitment. This decision strengthened her resolve to examine in her painting issue raised by women's movement from both Latin and North American perspectives. The changing roles of women in society and definitions of individual power and entitlement led to a series of works exhibited at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. Gretchen's most recent work describes a walking population, moving through public spaces like troupes of dancers uniting and diverging. Her astute sense of color and constantly moving spatial perspective give her work a consistent direction as she moves from one thematic focus to the next.

Insomnious Whether positive or negative, artist Jason Shawn Alexander hopes his abstract figurative works evoke some response. “The one thing I always want in all my work is some form of emotive connection,” the artist says from his studio in Los Angeles. In his first solo show at 101/Exhibit in Miami, titled Insomnious, Alexander presents mostly images stemming from right before sleep or right after waking up, as seen in Insomnia in which two female figures are superimposed on each other. “There’s more of that image making in this show, and from the title of that painting came the show title. It seemed to fit because I don’t sleep well at all,” says Alexander. “It’s the perfect title for a large collection of images that are disjointed and come from a restless mind.” Alexander also incorporates a few collages and letter making in this new grouping. He continues to push himself while at the same time experimenting with different palettes and approaches. Influenced by Irish-born British figurative painter Francis Bacon, Alexander reates abstract human life as much as possible, yet brings it back just enough so it’s recognizable. These are not literal scenes but rather images that convey scenarios that are impossible or undesirable in reality. He’s more comfortable abstracting and going more expressive with male figures while his female forms are more tense.
