Tuesday Edition: Gary Petersen + New Starns Edition Tomorrow!
10"x8" ($20) | 14"x11" ($50) | 20"x16" ($200)
Happy first Tuesday of 2010, collectors! It's Youngna here, back at JBP HQ where we're all feeling full of artful resolve for this brand-new year (and decade)! And, because at 20x200 the only way to start off a new year is with a bang, we're kicking off with a second edition from 20x200-artist Gary Petersen and once again giving you—our dear collectors—exciting-and-advanced notice that tomorrow, yet another edition from the world-renowned Doug + Mike Starn will hit your inboxes. (Read on to the end for details about tomorrow's release.)
When we first started planning today's edition from Gary, we couldn't help but think that the kaleidoscopic spiral of color in Mixup was a whole lot like a burst of confetti, free falling from the sky during a New Year's celebration. While I was staying plenty warm toasting bubbly indoors, perhaps you were braving the cold somewhere in the world, looking up at a great chromatic sky that echoed the same kinetic energy as Mr. Petersen's paintings do.
As Jen said back when we released Squeeze, "The colors and the crisp, almost graphic, quality of the image combined to create an exuberance that leaped off the screen and into my heart. I love work that makes my heart race, and Gary's paintings do just that." Mixup, like Squeeze, is an exhilarating combination of precision and spontaneity. The lines on his canvas maintain a strict and calculated geometry, while conveying velocity and motion. One tries to find a way through the labyrinthine paths, but is forever turning from one colored swath onto another.
For those who are in New York, wander on down to Spring Street to see Mixup in person, currently on view in Mixtape, at the JBG alongside this fine cast of 20x200 artists. The show is up only through this Saturday, January 9th, and we can't urge you strongly enough to come in and see Gary's painting in person.
As we mentioned, we're releasing another spectacular edition from the Starn Twins bright and early tomorrow. A sister print to alleverythingthatisyou sno7.1_003, (they hang together awfully nice when side-by-side), this new edition will once again be released to you at 11 a.m. (EST), a full hour before it hits the 20x200 homepage at noon. alleverythingthatisyou sno7.1_003 flew out the door, and we have a feeling tomorrow's print will too. So, if you want to be the apple of your friends, parents, siblings, or co-workers' eyes, we highly suggest you drop them a note and let them know that it'd be a good idea to sign up for the 20x200 mailing list today!
Set that alarm for 11 a.m. and we'll see you back here tomorrow!
