Well Conceived Folk Art: WHIMSY AT LINDSAY
DOLLS & DRAWINGS! Lindsay Gallery is at 682 North High Street in Columbus, Ohio, Planet Earth. 614-291-1973 An adorable and thought provoking show was on view at Lindsay during February and into March.
AMBER GROOME truly makes art.--Tiny adorable dolls! And she doesn't buy dollies from a Five and Dime, she makes them!--One at a time, and they're porcelain! These "dollettes" (my term)reside in tiny-cubby-cupboards. Each doll is unique from its syblings! --They are businessmen and princesses,-- And they stand up in their cubicles and look at you. They'e cute but weird! Amber Groome, Dollmaker,is a petite person with chic, and a slightly Liverpool look.
MORRIS JACKSon,sees--as in visions--magical books inside his head! "Original" doesn't fully describe Jackson's illustrations. His skillful yet quirky line drawings become tiny plots and scenarios; they are absolutely one of a kind. (Perhaps he's a modern day Edward Lear!) Jackson's spindly ink drawings make me want to giggle. The artist has kept his own Inner Child very much alive.--In fact his Inner Child is now his Outer Child!-- Aren't we lucky!
THE NEW SHOW!--AND A VERY GOOD ARTIST TOO!--JEB LOY NICHOLS AT LINDSAY
(GIVE THREE CHEERS AND THREE CHEERS MORE!) This is bound to be a terrific show, and I intend to see it very, very soon .. Predictions are that this visual artist will blow LINDSAY visitors away. Nichols hails from the nation of WALEs which is,as the old National Anthem proclaims, "the land in which poets and minstrels rejoice." I should know. After all, my great, great uncle. Melzer Thomas, was "prized by Queen Victoria and in America had sung like a skylark in saloons and Methodist Churches and was known to boast of how HE had taught the famous John Charles Thomas how to sing."
