Last Looks


Patrick W. Welch • The End is Nice • 2008 • enamel & acrylic on panel • 3 x 5 inches • gescheidle projects

This may the last chance for a long while to see the work of an extraordinary artist who passed away a few months ago. This is particularly a special opportunity to see the work as a solid and coherent whole.

Patrick W. Welch • Me and You • 2008 • enamel & acrylic on panel • gescheidle projects


Another exhibition on view to be sure and stop by before it closes, is sadly the work of another friend who passed on this year. The exhibition of photographic works of Daniel Johnson closes this Saturday at 65GRAND

Daniel Johnson: Sweet Dreams and Garbage
Friday & Saturday, December 19 & 20, 2008
12NOON - 5:30P
1378 W Grand (entrance on Noble)


I want to note I am promoting these shows because I believe in the art of both Welch and Johnson. These artists’ created strong bodies of work — productions tragically cut short — that deserve as wide an audience possible. Of course they are friends and I want to preserve their memory, but the art itself is worth the attention regardless of the biographical aspects.
