Blog Rivew: Glasstire!

- Brian Keith Jones: Meanwhile…Back in Dallas October 18th, 2013 – Danielle Georgiou


-Glasstire is an online magazine that covers visual art in Texas and Southern California.  It is a non-profit corporation, and they’ve been operating since January 2001. They are supported in part by grants from the Texas Commission for the Arts and lots of departments. There are lots of editors and bloggers. For instance, Michael Bise, one of them is an artist, also as featured columnist living in Houston, TX.  The blog is visually appealing well and focuses on various topics such as video and arts including photography. They post typically five times a week.  

-Ro2 Art opened to an excited crow Brian Keith Jones’ first solo exhibition, ‘Meanwhile… Back’ on the same day as the State Fair. The gallery is in Dallas, TX.  Ro2 Art focuses on the exhibition and sale of work in all visual media at the gallery, as well as through public exhibition programs. The opening session is through September 27 - October 27, 2013. The topic of the work is about the local nostalgia of last year’s traumatic blaze, in which an electrical fire destroyed the iconic statue of Big Tex (or Big brian identified only by a curl of hair on his forehead). He made the painting into film at 24 frames per second, was made from 50 individual paintings. Next, he loves neon colored fluorescent paint.

-I was interested about that his work entertains, and evokes just enough folksiness not to have been made anything profound in the work.  In addition, I thought the painting was so lovely and approachable easily to me.
