New York Cityscapes - By Mariangela Fremura and Tyler Loftis

New York Cityscapes - By Mariangela Fremura and Tyler Loftis



Special guest Mariangela Fremura will give a talk about the current Fire Barn Gallery show “New York Cityscapes by Mariangela Fremura and Tyler Loftis".

Before becoming a painter and art historian, her early creative pursuits included 3 feature films and a popular Italian sit-com, as well as a modeling career. But ultimately her passion was for fine art. Fremura grew up in Tuscany, Italy and studied in Florence and Rome where she received her Masters in art history before moving to New York to finish her art education. She now lives in New York City where she paints full-time.

"Mari has some kind of aura about her, like she's got this movie-star quality; and she's got this depth of knowledge and skill and experience about art, she's one of the finest painters I know." - gallery director Chris Protas.

Tyler Loftis, originally from Grand Haven, is the co-founder of the Fire Barn Gallery. He has lived and worked on his art in NYC for the last 17 years.

For this show, Protas asked Loftis and Fremura to make paintings of the city. "There's an endless resource there, I wanted to see how differently they would tackle the subject". Mariangela will speak at 7pm at the opening for this show. This will be an extremely rare opportunity for people to hear this artist talk about her remarkable life.
 

Show opening Thursday, December 11, 6-8pm at Fire Barn Gallery.

Chris Protas

Chris Protas is originally from Norwich, Vermont. He went to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle for a year in the early 90’s, then moved back to the east coast to attend The New York Studio School (1996-2000). After fourteen years in New York City, he now divides his time between NYC and Grand Haven, Michigan. He co-directed a fine art gallery in Grand Haven for four years (2012-16). Recent solo shows include Kendall College and The Fire Barn Gallery, both in Michigan and he has exhibited in many group shows in Michigan and New York City. Chris is part of the 'Painting in NY' group that has exhibited five times throughout Manhattan since the mid 2000's.

'My paintings don't necessarily have a simple narrative story. Instead of a comic book that can carry on a story for months over many issues, I try to include different pieces and times of a story in a single frame. Hopefully to produce more of a feeling of a story than a literal interpretation of a story. Almost like taking the essential aspects and by showing the moments together they in turn tell more of a universal story - the moral of the story, or something humorously and irreverently equivalent.' - Chris Protas

Aref Rahman

NYC Photographer

"I am a photographer who is roaming around, clicking pictures one at a time – finding the beauty it carries. I have traveled a piece of the world. Speak about five languages. I find beauty in unexpected places by riding the subway and biking. I find my inspiration here in New York City. This place is full of unexpected sights. Not limited to Manhattan but the other boroughs' hidden gems also." -Aref

Tim Kurtz

Tim Kurtz graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago with a Masters Degree in painting and drawing with a focus on abstract art, studying under Ray Yoshida, an important artist of the Chicago Imagism movement. Tim's early career focused on abstract painting and design work for multiple businesses he started, as well as design for textile, clothing, and furniture companies including Herman Miller. Since 2009, Tim has made hundreds of realistic Civil War battlefield paintings that are now in multiple museums across America and many private collections. Currently Tim's studio practice consists of working on both abstract work (painting and collage) and realistic paintings of the Civil War era with a masterful fluidity moving from one genre of painting to the other. Tim has exhibited throughout the Midwest America as well as New York, Chicago, London, Zurich, and Sri Lanka. Tim lives and works in Grand Haven, Michigan.

Steve Kurtz

Sculptor - West Michigan

Images of his last show HERE

Steve Kurtz, born in Livonia, Michigan, has been working and living in West Michigan since earning his BFA at Western Michigan University in 1994. His studio in the middle of nowhere, Michigan has been home, refuge, workspace, think tank for the past 19 years; a sculptural monastery of sorts. His work often speaks of the relationship between nature and machine, the individual and mechanic. With a fluid understanding of multiple materials, Steve's sculptures are largely a commentary of these relationships, with an undeniable sense of the artist, his vision, hope, and humor. Steve has been in many juried shows and has had multiple solo exhibits in Michigan, his most recent at the Fire Barn Gallery in October 2012. Other recent exhibits include the traveling show "There and Back Again" in Holland, Grand Haven, and Grand Rapids, MI, several Muskegon Museum juried shows, and Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Juried show.
