Superbowl Party House Staged

It seems as though the Superbowl game is almost taking second stage when it comes to all the commotion of the parties, celebrities in town, and events going on during the week preceding the game. Not only is the city of Detroit preparing for the long awaited Superbowl game...but the outside communities are getting ready for their staged events as well! In Birmingham, we are working with a development company that has, with our help, staged a new house that's soul purpose is to host Superbowl parties and television shows like Good Morning America and Emeril.

We hung Eng Tay original prints in the upstairs main hallway

A colorful Zarin pastel on canvas for the side entry

A gorgeous Pitynski plexi wall hanging went on the wall behind the kitchen. This piece was a little contemporary for the very traditional house, but it looked fabulous and was a nice touch to lead people from the entry to the back family room.

Don't miss out!

TRA Art Group will be marking the works in the gallery from half off to 60% off and more! Don't miss out on these great deals!!

Another Rousseaux Install

Yet again, another Mary Rousseaux install! This piece is a little different than her usual two panel pieces and has three panels of rich color. Her giant contemporary color fields can compliment any decor even if it is on the traditional or transitional side.

Kai Wolter

Today we took a field trip to Cranbrook! Well...the grounds were beautiful despite the gray weather but our focus for the day was to look at metalsmithing graduate student Kai Wolter. We have seen such a sharp increase in interest in metal work for residential and corporate settings that we are bringing in some new artists to the gallery. Kai's works are very organic and resemble leaves, branches and other forms of nature yet the material is copper that he hand pounds into shape.

new works...

Today we just refreshed the front of the gallery with two new abstract pieces by Lenore Gimpert. Gimpert is most known for her "tu-tu series" but she also has a large body of abstract work in her repertoire. These two paintings are from a series called "J Series" in red and yellow. The five foot square paintings make the space glow with brushstrokes and paint dripping of vivid saturated color.

Eng Tay

A recent art installation featured our gallery artist Eng Tay. The clients loved Eng Tay's work so much that they purchased a grouping of prints so that they could be displayed in a sort of gallery fashion.

Here is a little bit about the artist:

Eng Tay was born and raised in Kedah, Malaysia, his artistry was honed on the world art scene in Europe, North and South America, and Asia - particularly South East Asia. He now lives and works in New York City, exhibits extensively throughout the United States, and travels regularly to Asia in conjunction with his exhibitions there.
He works in several media - limited edition etchings, painting and sculpture. Most of his work has found its greatest expression when addressing the concept of Family - the poetry of the family, of man and woman, of children, of friendship, of music and of the natural world.

He brings a universal quality, combined with personal myth into his works, and has evolved a narrative style that is lyrical, nostalgic, mysterious and exotic. He has found a way to reveal the harmony of life through the images of memory. Since his goal is to create simple poetry, his are not pretentious or ornate images, but a poetic language that is freely accessible and readily learned, leaving a lasting impression of people in action and poetry in motion.
