 Closing reception for 'Castles in the Air' - March 2, 2018 from 6 - 8 pm.
 I'll be having an artist talk on Sunday, February 25, at 3:00 pm, in conjunction with my solo exhibition, 'Castles in the Air'. Local arts professional, Michelle Epps, will lead the discussion, using the show as a catalyst for deeper contemplations on childhood experiences, nostalgia, and disjointed memories. This artist talk is free and open to the public. Michelle also wrote the exhibition catalogue essay.
Michelle Epps is the Community Engagement Manager for SPACES. She received her MA in History with a Specialization in Museum Studies from Cleveland State University in 2009 and a Certificate in Nonprofit Organizations from Case Western Reserve University in 2010. Currently she serves as the National EMP Network’s Board President. She also serves on the Board of the Ohio Museum Association, member of the Kent State University’s MuseLab Advisory Committee, and a member of the Museum Education Advisory Council for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.  Art on Madison is pleased to present Castles in the Air, a solo exhibition by Cleveland based painter, Timothy Gaewsky, opening February 2, 2018 - March 2, 2018. Castles in the Air explores Gaewsky’s personal nostalgia for the retro 8-bit video games that he played growing up in the 1980’s and early ’90’s. Gaewsky’s colorful and whimsical paintings appropriate and manipulate design elements and visual cues from some of his favorite games. Gaewsky is interested in ways his new arraignments of modified game references might spark a sense of nostalgia, i.e. a sentimental yet deceptive or false memory associated with games from that era.

Castles in the Air opens February 2, 2018 at Art on Madison gallery in Lakewood, OH. Opening reception is Feb. 2, 6-9pm. Catalogues will be available at the opening for $20 ea.  By Peter Tonguette / For The Columbus Dispatch  Nice little mention of my painting in the exhibition review:
"Other works have a more explosive impact, including Timothy Gaewsky’s acrylic-and-latex-house-paint-on-wood “Undiscovered Horizon,” which owes something to the artist Peter Max in its bold depiction of a kind of Candyland, with lollipop swirls dotting the sky and candy canes bobbing in the water.

Painting in 2015 is characterized by its inclusiveness of genres, styles, aesthetics, concepts, materials, and processes. There is no single direction, but multiple vectors of highly energetic artistic expression. The result is a continuing flowering of independent, eclectic, and significant art works that characterize the American art scene. Contemporary painting is unabashed about borrowing, whether using and referencing elements form classical painting for design or integrating found materials. Some streams of painting have adopted the punch of graphic design used in commercial advertising. Other streams emphasize strong personal visions and narratives or broader culture events as a focus for powerful imagery. Subject matter is anything about which the artist feels passion and significance.   Young Space is a blog and nomadic project platform with a mission to support and collaborate with early-career and emerging contemporary artists.
