Small is the new BIG! One hundred artists with 100 unique styles.

Inside Small is curator, Lisa D’Amico’s annual small works exhibit that challenges artists to create works no larger than 12″ in any direction with no limitation on imagination. This year’s exhibition features one hundred talented artists from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The art show will be on exhibit through December 16, 2018 at The Outside In Gallery, 249 Ferdon Ave, Piermont NY.

This annual exhibit provides a rare platform to showcase these small jewels with a wide range of subject matter and artistic styles. From tightly rendered works to more interpretive approaches, the selection of artwork includes political subjects, nude figures, wildlife, landscapes, florals and abstracts. The smaller format offers a great opportunity for unique affordable holiday gifts, new buyers to begin their art collections and seasoned collectors to expand their acquisitions.

While the artists are connected by their commitment to tiny, the beauty of these small works allows for a notable presence of creativity and undeniable individuality. Their diminutive size demands each viewer’s close inspection and contemplation.

The Inside Small art show will also be online in tandem with the opening reception on November 25th, and the online gallery will be on view through the end of May 2019. View the online gallery at www.insidesmall.com.

Join us Sunday November 25th, 2pm-5pm, at The Outside In Gallery for the opening reception of this grand salon of petite works!

“RTE 9W Haverstraw, NY””

 Paintings: Tim Miller – September 9-24.  Observations of mankind’s influence on the physical world.  Some of the scenes can be from the point of view of looking through the windshield of a car, or a snap shot taken on a dirt path; quite ordinary, but upon closer inspection, and perhaps some introspection, the viewer may see something more; something beyond ordinary; maybe a sense of appreciation of the world right in front of us.  Reception 09.09.18; 2-5PM thru 

Miller received a BFA in Illustration at the School of Visual Arts, 2007.

“The Jester”

 The Steel Portraits Series: Sculpture by Daniel Lombardo – June 9-24.  This series contains seven pieces inspired by the concept of portraits, masks and the potential limitations of the process of manipulating metal through forging, cutting and welding.  Reception 06.09.18; 2-5PM thru 06.24.18

On “The Portraits Series”:  After making several large scale sculptures I felt the need to work on a more intimate scale. However, the material I had was a 10’ length of 5” square steel pipe with 3/8” thick walls. I cut off a manageable piece approximately 24” long. I wanted to partially break the geometric integrity so I cut down the length of one corner to a few inches short of one end. This would give the piece a base or neck to stand on. I began to unfold the metal along that cut seam and then began to shape the features of the portrait. The thickness and weight of the material were quite challenging and after working it to a point that I felt it was finished I presented it for critique by my fellow sculptors. The critique left me feeling that the piece was not finished but I was not sure what additional manipulation was needed. Our mentor felt that I was onto an idea rich with possibilities and encouraged me to develop a series. So I set the first piece aside and began another sculpture based on drawings in which I deconstructed the pipe is various ways and maintaining the same scale as the first piece.

Artist Statement:  My sculpture is inspired by the human figure generally a vertical presentation, focusing on the gestalt of interconnected shapes that are both linear and volumetric. Additional inspiration comes from the totem poles of Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest and other tribal cultures from around the world, with their stacked and interconnected elements that may represent key figures or concepts in their myths and legends, combined to “tell a tale” or be a reminder of basic cultural tenets. Though my sculptures do not represent any specific events, I imagine my pieces as abstracted tales of personal events or general themes of human experience. The pieces develop from gestural sketches based on this visual language of interconnected forms merging and diverging usually, but not exclusively, along a vertical axis. For the past 5 years I have focused on working in forged steel, which has fostered new gestural elements inspired by the material and this process.
