April 1st, we opened the 2008 Spring Exhibit featuring dynamic and significant bodies of work from artists located across the country and regionally, from Santa Ana, California to our very own city of Columbia. The exhibit, as usual, offers contemporary art from contemporary artists presently working in the fields of painting or sculpture in the broadest sense. Perlow-Stevens Gallery is proud to be exhibiting in the 2008 Spring Exhibit the synthetic industrial 3-dimensional wall sculptures of Jay Behrle (Waterloo, IL); the reputable and vibrant watercolor landscapes of Keith Crown (Columbia, Missouri); the microcosmic oil paintings of Deborah Davidson (Santa Ana, California); the naively whimsical paintings and assemblages of Carlos Michael Finn (Denver, Colorado); the waggish mythological pastel paintings of Nora Othic (Marceline, Missouri); the vivid hand-blown glass vessels of Bob Rynearson (Temple, Texas); and the narrative collage, oil, and tar paintings of Joel Sager (Columbia, Missouri).  We look forward to seeing you and please, feel free to call for private viewings or with any questions you might have. Our regular hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10-6, and Sunday 12-5. You can contact us at 573.442.4831

The Alcove
April 1 - June 28th
Dance  -  Lacy Voight



We are proud to host in the Alcove the ethereally dreamy photography of Lacy Voight. Through creative lighting and manipulated sets involving vintage clothing and a body of water, this young photographer has brought an innovative, though nostalgic sense of beauty by means of ghostly sartorial visions or dream-like states. Voight's photography will be on display in the Alcove from April 1st through May 17th, 2008.

ARTicle
Following conversations with Jennifer Perlow regarding the Fers' (the affectionately nicknamed duo Jennifer Perlow and Chris[topher] Stevens) recent trip to chicago, I felt the subject matter of outsider art would be interesting and informative to the readers of ARTicle. She mentioned friends of the gallery (two previously exhibited artists, Chris Teeter and Wayne Leal in fact) having visited the Intuit Gallery, an exhibition space for outsider or "intuitive" art which is, in many circles and particularly in the midwest, a stigmal genre. However, outsider art plays a integral role in contemporary art and its integrity serving as a sort of checks and balance to the often too heady and academic ethos of the art world. Even more, in this artist's opinion, outsider art is in many respects more "artistic" than its counterpart as it relies heavily, sometimes fully, upon the artist's inclinations (street smarts) as opposed to craft or technical abilities. Enough of my rant, though. Please, enjoy this quarter's ARTicle from wikipedia on Outsider Art.
