Reclaimed Preview: Chad Davis
We’re so happy that Chad Davis agreed to be part of Reclaimed. Chad created these two intricate collaged pieces made out of old wood, nails, and assorted metal pieces. Good Stuff.

We have been a big fan of Emi Slade‘s work for quite some time and can’t believe we haven’t posted on her sooner. Each piece is sculpted out of polymer and epoxy clays and hand painted, resulting in a super realistic, piece. Her solo show, Plated, opened last week at Woods Gallery.

Jen Beaudoin: to die, to sleep

It is very rare that I attend a gallery show with 3D pieces that are not custom toys. The Detroit art scene is incredibly diverse and there is always a lot going on all the time. I think that what I do is probably something a lot of us artists and art lovers do, which is to say that we find a genre and rock out. I happen to be a lowbrow (or pop surrealist if you are feeling fancy) kind of girl. Those are the shows you always see me at, as well as the shows I actively participate in as an artist. I know there are amazing things going on in the other artistic spheres, but apparently I need to get off my duff and go to more shows.
Friday, I did just that and went to the opening of fine artist Jen Beaudoin‘s show to die, to sleep. Jen’s sculptures are made with an extremely delicate looking papier-mâché technique. The medium helps accentuate the purposefully creepy feeling each of her pieces gives off. I have never meant it any more than I do right now when I say that you really have to see her work in person to do it justice. The nuances of each sculpture makes it look vastly different from one angle to another. The show is up through March 26th at the Starkweather Arts Center*.

Recap: ArtPrize 2010
This weekend, we drove up to Grand Rapids to check out the big ArtPrize competition. There’s no doubt that it takes over the entire city. Luckily, we had two amazing tour guides to show us around. My cousin lives up there, and so does our very talented artist friend Ryan Weiss (interviewed). Ryan was also nice enough to give us a sneak peek of what he’s working on for his next show, so stay tuned for that in a few days.
Let’s just get Steam Pig out of the way. ArtPrize is all about making something that’s larger than life, so there’s no question that he was the star, suspended over the crowds in the B.O.B. parking lot. This was done by the same group responsible for Nessie in the river last year.
I loved these horses made out of plastic utensils. These were done by Sayaka Ganz.
Hands down, my favorite was called “you can’t fall off the floor” by Lora Fosberg. Lora placed hundreds of hand lettered pieces of paper on walls that intersected to form a room-like atmosphere.
Behind the cut, there are lots, lots more pics of my favorites. Unfortunately, unless you knew to register ahead of time, they make it a pain for attendees to actually vote. So if you see something you like, vote on my behalf! The top 10 is going to be announced tonight.

Chad Davis
I had the pleasuree of meeting Garden City’s Chad Davis this past weekend at the People’s Art Festival. Chad was exhibiting his found wood sculptures along with his acrylic transfer mixed media pieces. Both of which are excellent. I was impressed with how clean his work was, and at first glance I thought that they were silkscreen. Much more of his work can be viewed in his Flickr Photostream.
