Delicacies at Biagio’s Studio B

May 30, 2010

These people are having too much fun

Delicacies” is a charming little bijou of a juried show currently residing through June at Studio B, the small gallery adjacent to Biagio’s Fine Chocolate at 19th and T Sts. NW.

Eighteen artists are represented, ranging from some of DC’s iconic names like Lou and Di Stovall, including many that the frequent DC art consumer will recognize (e.g. Pat Goslee, Novie Trump, Jody Bergstrasser, Helga Thomson, Sondra Arkin and moi) to the relatively new to the scene.

Pat Goslee's work

Hung and curated by Ms. Arkin, it has been thoughtfully assembled and manages deftly to finesse the chief problem of group shows, which is bringing some level of visual coherence to the disparate. Tanjo Bos's tiny delicate landscapes are lovely, Doris Ross's glass pieces have a diginified minimalist presence, Pat Goslee's paintings are lusciously aquatic.

Helga Thomson's icons

My three addresses

I love Helga Thomson's scary little angel icons, full of mysterious imagery, Sondra's gorgeous new oil pastel and Susan Finsen's two airy abstractions. The last three of my pieces from the "My Life From the Satellite" grid are also here for your delectation.

The reception Wednesday evening was busting out of the space and people seemed exceptionally cheerful, which was no doubt at least partly attributable to the extraordinary chocolate provided by Biagio in addition to the wine. There will be another reception Thursday, June 24 so you have another chance to see this art and sample the amazing chocolate at the same time – that’s my kind of multi-tasking.
