“Sweatin’ to tha Oldies”

This show, by Fanee, ran from December 12th 2009 through January 2nd 2010.

This collection of new works used sexual imagery to represent romantic, but still naughty mentalities of a somewhat juvenile teen. Please join us at Gallery Three for the opening reception of “Sweatin’ to tha Oldies,” December 12th, 2009 from 7-11pm.

Thai Modern Art

Fanee’s subject matter deals with the many fundamentals of naive love, dating and “sweatin” over various infatuations. This exhibit boldly showcases Fanee’s provocative vision of female sexuality in society. She uses inner conflicts to explore the fine line between passion and delirium. Her characters take on different personas of clown-faced women, tattooed up, dressed in costume, and jeweled to the max. Shadowed by twisted song lyrics and provocative poses, her characters entrance the viewer by revealing their vulnerability.

This collection incorporates mixed media works creating a hybrid of drawing and painting on magazine paper. The premise of each piece begins with an image ripped from a kinky porn magazine. Fanee outlines her subjects with pen and pencil, adding and subtracting from the original image. She uses white oil-based markers and colored paint to add contrast and subtle pigments to the page.

A native of the Midwest, Fanee moved to New York City to begin her art education at Parsons The New School for Design. From there, she returned to her Midwest roots and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). After a six-year tenure in Chicago, she relocated to San Francisco to further her passion and her artistic career.

“unseen on tv”

Works by Erik Foss, ran from Saturday, November 14th 2009 through December 5th 2009.

Gallery Three presented Unseen on TV new works by Erik Foss. This overflowing, compulsive accumulation of works mirrors the chaotic conditions in which they have been made. Unseen on TV symbolizes the irony of our culture’s founding beliefs and ideologies, revealing America uncensored. Please join us at Gallery Three for the opening reception on Saturday, November 14th 2009 from 7-11pm.

Seemingly naïve perceptions of sex, religion and politics are represented in the form of collage, combined to form a disordered setting for Erik Foss’ new exhibition, Unseen on TV. This collection is fueled by a sociological deviance from American culture, while at the same time reflecting the cultures very ideals. Foss’ raw collages on distressed paper are an assembled collection of antique pornography and photographs, dating as late as the 1800’s. Erotic cut out hearts cover the faces of stoic portraits, questioning the distinction between offensive vs. provocative or private vs. public concern. Manipulating American history and politics with fearful symmetries and collective despair, Foss dares to push the boundaries of relative understanding.

Erik Foss has been living and working in downtown Manhattan for over twelve years. This will be his second solo show at Gallery Three in San Francisco. He has also shown in several New York galleries including White Box, Dietch and Jonathan Levine, as well as The Contemporary Art Museum in Chicago, Collette in Paris and V1 Gallery in Denmark.

The Perfect Gift for Mom

May 31st, 2012 Comments Off

If there was ever a piece of jewelry that was made with a mother in mind, it is the gold locket.  They can be purchased in almost any shape, from simple circles, squares or ovals to hearts. They can be engraved with a special message, a child’s name or birthdate, and are available in necklace, bracelet and ring formats. Whether you are looking for a gift to mark a child’s birth, an anniversary, Valentine’s Day or any other special occasion, it is the perfect gift to let her know that you understand that her children are the closest and dearest thing to her heart.

Speaking for myself, my first pregnancy resulted in identical twin sons. The day after they were born, my husband left the hospital for a few hours. He told me that he had to go run some errands. A few hours later he returned with a heart-shaped gold locket that was engraved with the boys’ birth date, and their hospital photos cut to fit and inserted in the facing chambers of the charm. I wore that necklace proudly for years. Then when my daughter was born, I wasn’t sure what to do, but lo and behold, he appeared at the hospital with a new necklace that featured a clever fold out design that could accomodate three photos. It made me a little sad to give up my original special necklace, and I still keep it tucked away in my jewelry box, but I love my triple, and replace the photos often; the most recent upgrade carries pictures of each of the three of them in their graduation caps and gowns. Although as years have passed he has given me many beautiful pieces of jewelry that have been much more costly, none mean as much as the beautiful pieces that marked the birth of my children.

How to Find Maryland Roofers

April 27th, 2012 Comments Off

If you live in Maryland and your home is need of repairs, you may find yourself facing the tough decision of choosing between Maryland roofers. You have a lot of choices, so how do you select a company? There are several factors to keep in mind when weighing all your options. This step-by-step guide can make the process a little easier.

  1. The first step is to determine your price range.Make a budget and figure out what you can afford. Be realistic here and consider cutting back on other expenses for a month or two in order to increase your budget. Roofing is one of those products where you get what you pay for.
  2. Compare local companies to find one you can trust. There are a lot of companies to choose from, so you want to make sure the place you choose is certified, insured, and has a lot of good reviews. Ask friends and neighbors for recommendations, look at online review sites, and don’t be afraid to ask the company for references.
  3. Pick a style. These days, you have your choice when it comes to roofing materials. You can have shingles in a variety of materials and colors, or can opt for aluminum siding or even Eco-friendly products. Think about your budget and your style, and find something that will fit both your needs and your design.
  4. Make a plan. Before you get started, map out a schedule with the roofing company, and find a way to get the job done that won’t interfere with your daily life too much. For example, you don’t want them pulling up old roof slats in winter when that might let extra cold air in your home, and the workers can’t repair your roof if it’s raining.

If you need more help finding Maryland roofers, check your local listings or call your local zoning office. Take your time to prepare, and above all else take a few deep breaths and remember that while this process can be stressful, you will ultimately be making your quality of life better.
