My apologies for the glare in the pics...they were shot through glass and acrylic glazes. Like everything else on the walls...make an offer and they are yours.

More of what is on the wall this Saturday
Several readers have asked to see more of this Saturday's "make me and offer" fare (honest - I'm not making that up) so I'm posting a few more images.

TOO MUCH WEIRDNESS
Yesterday I posted on my facebook page that Gallery 5 would be showing what I called "weird work" on this week's Second Saturday (March 10 from noon to 6 PM). The work refers to a wide variety of paintings, prints, and constructions from my first 2 years in Paducah, and I would be selling them for whatever price was offered to me...no offer would be refused.
This morning I received a request for a phone interview from Flora Forquart who writes an "About Art" column for the Times. I did not record the interview but would like to share with my readers the general gist of the exchange.
FFART:
"Mr. Rezooli, I heard from a friend of a friend of my cousin that you are giving your art away. Is that...
ME:
"It's Renzulli, not Rezooli, and I'm not giving anything away; I'm selling my art to interested parties.
FFART:
"Well, I checked your blog and saw your reference to a wall of weird work...Why weird, and why a wall."
ME:
"Well why not? I like a little alliteration. Look, let me level with you...I plan to show a bunch of funky stuff that I created 8-9 years ago, and OK, maybe it's not weird, but in retrospect it is a little strange. And to tell you the truth, I think the work has some merit. I simply need to move it out because of space limitations.
FFART:
"Whatever...but to just give it away? That is a no no! Fine artists don't do that...it undervalues your work.
ME:
"First of all Flora, I'm not giving it away. I am accepting whatever is offered to me. Secondly, I don't measure the value of my art in dollars and cents." I....
FFART:
Well whatever Mr Rezooli. I think you're a little weird, and this interview is useless. I write for some very sophisticated readers who enjoy installations and performance art among....
ME:
Hey, that is what I'm doing...this is an installation and I will be performing at the gallery.
FFART:
Oh...that is so different! Yes, an installation of weird work on a wall...I love it! So tell me...
Anyway, that's how it went. Whether she will ever publish this remains to be seen. To see what this was all about visit GALLERY 5 ON MARCH 10, FROM NOON TO 6 PM for a very unusual gallery experience.

THE LAST BARN
This will be the last piece I create for the Barns & Farms show. I think. Perhaps. Maybe. We'll see.
Standing Tall...oil pastel and ink on a clay mono type
In order for me to hang all of the work for this show in the weeks ahead, I must first find a place for all of the art now on the gallery walls, and if you have been in my studio lately you know what a challenge that will be. So...yesterday, as I began working on my space project, I had the brilliant idea (yes, I am convinced it was brilliant.) of taking all of the strange paintings and constructions from Paducah years one and two and showing them on the up-coming Second Saturday. They will be priced to sell, and I will then have more space available in the studio.
I'm thinking...a Wall of Weird Works.
The list price for each piece will be..."Make an offer...no offer will be refused!" How brilliant is that? Of course to succeed I have to get people into the gallery. I will post the results of this effort next week. Wish me well.
