Announcing Devine Lotteria!

The Gowanus Studio Space presents “Divine Lotteria” - a show of painting and mixed-media work Opening reception: Friday, June 6th, 2008 6-10pm On view: Saturday June 6 – Sunday, June 8 and June 14th - June 15th, 12-5 pm or by appointment

The Gowanus Studio Space 119 8th Street, Gowanus, Brooklyn Directions: G or F train to Smith and 9th Street, M or R to 4th Ave http://www.gowanusstudio.org/

On June 6th Sara Antoinette Martin and Damara Kaminecki will serve up a double threat of visceral, elaborate and stunningly beautiful imagery to be exhibited at the Gowanus Studio Space.

Sara's carefully crafted and collaged images of unapologetic ladies do not just draw you in, they demand the viewer's attention. Adorned in floral patterns and vintage swimsuits, they exist in a surreal world of tattoo inspired imagery, Masonic symbology, fins, gills and flowers. http://www.sara-land.net/

Damara Kaminecki collages small relief prints that have been printed on various japanese papers with her feet on her kitchen floor. For this show she has done a series called "night skies" which evoke nostalgia and whimsy inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke's poems "Nights Like These."

She Skull by the sea shore

Downright revisited

Nice little write up in Whitehot magazine about Jashar and the 'Downright' show I was in back in November.
They mentioned me! "Martin’s “Downright Dispicable” (acrylic on wood) offers another striking visual experience. The object of the panel is commanding while her floating body-less companions pleasantly adorn the piece like a soft buttercream." Buttercream huh?
