Richard Kaufman Artist Statement

In my paintings, I combine the precepts and techniques of East Asian brush painting, referred to in Japan as sumi-e, and Western art. Making a modest contribution to the bridging of East and West cultures in this medium is one of my goals.

I use "rice" papers, of which there are many types, brushes with natural fibers, Chinese and Japanese inks, and watercolors to depict scenes from the natural world. Chinese calligraphy in seals or "chops" and in writing is used in this kind of painting for several reasons. In addition to the meaning of the characters and their poetic expression, calligraphy itself is an abstract art.

Although there is an eastern aura in my work, my subjects are mostly North American and drawn from my personal experience.

My ultimate goal is not so much exact representation as to capture the mood energy and life force of my subjects. In addition to their uniqueness and personality, I strive to show the harmony and beauty of all things in nature.

I am a member of the board of directors of the Sumi-e Society of America.

Music Friday...September, October, November December

The next few MUSIC FRIDAYS starting in September will be very special. Gallery 141 presents "The Listening Room", hosted by Jason Mundok with a bit of a Later with Jules Holland kind of set up ( up to three performers per night including Jason). We will be experimenting with the Listening room idea and working out how to bring Lancaster music that musicians and music lovers can appreciate in an environment that is intimate and ideal. We will have seating for all three of these events and we will have a donation which will be given to the musicians. It will conclude with a wine reception with the artists.

Beautiful weather!!

2009-05-12T06:23:00.002-04:00

Hello everyone! We are finally having the wonderful "Spring" weather we deserve after our mini monsoon season. And with this, comes a new garden in our patio area. I will be outside the gallery today working under the tree, fighting the ivy, and finding new homes for plants that I am transplanting from my own back yard.

Be sure to stop by and see the progress - I'm hoping this summer's garden will be filled with flowers, music, and good people!

Carolynn S.Tucker

Duality, Torn_acrylic on panel_24x24_2009........$200

Gallery 141's latest featured artist is Carolynn S. Tucker. She is a graduate of Salisbury University in Salisbury, MD with her Bachelor's Degree in 2-D Studio Art. Tucker grew up on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and has fairly recently moved to Lancaster County. Her debut show is titled, "Rough Around the Edges". It is a mixture of acrylic paintings on wood and pencil drawings. The subject matter is very whimsical and colorful. Big, bold eyes are the focal point on the faces of the wooden stars. Carolynn says, " The work really touches on my emotions and expression. I use my art as a way to 'overcome negativity' in my life and vent my feelings. I hope that each individual can get something from these works. This is my dream, for my art to be shared and to even possibly INSPIRE others".

First Friday 5/1/09 was the grand opening.

May First Friday

2009-05-03T16:02:00.004-04:00

Hello everyone!
It's Kerri again from Beadworks by Kerri. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Just wanted to stress that anyone who missed May's First Friday missed out on a very good time. The Big Dirty provided music and they were fantastic. A very improvisational jazz band. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of them at future Gallery 141 events. We also had a delicious batch of chili made by Randy which was enjoyed by all those who were lucky enough to get some. And, of course, a sampling of different wines brought by participating artists. Carolynn, the gallery's newest addition started her exhibit with some very beautiful and sensual artwork.
Mark your calendars for Music Friday, May 16th and come join the fun!!

Introducing Beadworks by Kerri

2009-03-27T07:16:00.007-04:00

Hi everyone!
My name is Kerri aka Beadworks by Kerri and I'll be joining the Gallery 141 artist collective April 1st. I'm really excited to be included. My life long love affair with arts and crafts began when, as a young girl, my grandmother taught me how to crochet. Ever since, I'm happiest when my hands are creating something. Through my journey as an artist I have tried and enjoyed many crafts, including crochet, knitting (never quite got the hang of it), sewing, macrame, needlepoint, cross stitch, you name it. Sometimes I would have 4 or 5 projects going at the same time across several mediums. It wasn't until my older sister Cindy taught me how to make my first pair of earrings that I became focused on one craft. Almost immediately I became addicted to beads and for those of you who are also confessed beadaholics, you know what I mean. There's a certain feeling or spirituality that comes from running your fingers around and across a nicely shaped stone. The colors are fascinating and the variety is endless. As with many forms of art, you are only limited by your own imagination. So, please come down to the gallery to see my collection of jewelry or just to chat. I'll be there Tuesday through Thursday most weeks and, of course, First Fridays. Be sure to check out my blog!
Hope to see you soon!! Kerri

New Website!!

2009-03-24T13:05:00.003-04:00

Ok, the new website is up and running! Take a moment to check out the site and let us know what you think. www.gallery141.com
We have ArtWalk coming up, and a new show being installed for April. That means you have only 2 weeks left to see the current work - so if you haven't been by, it's time to pay a visit!
See you all on the flip-flop,
Rachel

Equinox Music Friday this week's EVENT 7 thirty...

2009-03-19T00:07:00.002-04:00

JC, see video below...with special stuff. Hope to see you!

New website coming soon!

2009-03-09T00:30:00.003-04:00

That's right! Gallery 141 will be getting it's very own web page. There will be links, photos, contacts, Etsy, and even an additional Facebook page for all your "Wall-posting" cravings. What else is there to do at 3AM - but see what else is going on at Gallery 141?!? And then to continue on to see who else knows Gallery 141...and so on...till you end up back at your own page at 7AM, dead tired, and confused as to how you are 6 degrees of separation from yourself.

I'll get back to you when the site is complete. Stay tuned!
--Rachel

Additional Days for Rachel Chambers

2009-02-17T12:02:00.002-05:00

Hey all,
I am in the gallery for some additional days, February 18th and 25th. I will be traveling in New Hampshire to see Sharon Arts Center and some other schools up there, so these days will make up for the ones that I will be absent. In any case, stop by and see the February show.

Check out this video of JC performing at February First Friday

2009-02-16T15:52:00.004-05:00

JC Fetlock is one of my favorite musicians and for that matter writer, and artists as well. He is a great friend of 141 and in '06 held an exhibition at the gallery of his beautiful hand-carved and painted walking sticks, each one custom made, incorporating the story and chakra positions of those for whom they are created. He also wrote and published a book Flicker, and his many artistic endeavors all incorporate his love of nature, humanity and spirit. The latest are his hand-printed, colorful "love bomb" tee shirts sold out well before valentines day. He brands his artistic endeavors under the universally conscious phrase, Made on earth. He was OFF the charts that evening with a performance that layered his many instruments and voice. See and hear more JC and communicate with him about his artistic process at his myspace JCFetlock@myspace.com . This 7 minute video shows him seemlessly moving from Rock, to Jazz, to Mozart, and then on mandolin, and folk music. Generously recorded for us by a friend of the gallery. Thanks to both! ---Alana
