Last Sunday, I stood with my nose pressed to the glass at Moss.....begging to be let in.....but, there was no one there.....the store was closed!!! I was possessed....I had to "meet" the light fixtures that were in the window!!! I ran home to my trusty mac and started "digging," as only a deeply "addicted accessorator" can!!! I found that the artist who created this magical lighting is Andy Coolquitt. Featured in the 2009 Texas Biennial, this native Texan is currently living between New York City and Austin,Texas. Creating these fragile, poetic pieces from found "street treats," Andy uses minimal shapes and vivid colors for the "light sculptures." The work combines sophistication and and whimsey, with strong linear detail. It's innovation and interesting ..... and I can't wait to find my way back to Moss and to see it for "in the flesh"!!!!!!!!
The above images combine works from Andy's first solo show in New York at the Lisa Cooley Gallery, as well as works that are currently available at Moss.
I love your style, the idea that your blog is a noticeably bit different makes it so interesting, I get tired of reading the same same all of the time. I've added this page to stumbleupon
