The Wm Turner gallery launches with its inaugural show, "The End of the World," a solo exhibition of works by Matthew Rose. Show dates are Sept. 18-Oct. 15. Opening champagne reception with the artist will be Sept. 18 from 6 to 9 p.m.
The gallery (www.wmturnergallery.com) is at The Stove Works, 112 Krog St., Suite 9, in Atlanta. The phone number is (404) 660-4337.
Turner is the former art director of Art & Antiques magazine. The gallery is described as "a thoroughly modern and contemporary fine art gallery specializing in hard-to-find but renowned international artists."
"My global art focus is contemporary," says Turner. "The artists hail from as far away as India and Europe, and as close by as Houston, Texas."
Turner plans to produce 12 shows a year in the gallery on Krog Street (next door to Rathbun's beloved restaurant).
The inaugural show is Parisian Matthew Rose's "The End of the World." Rose, a U.S.-born artist now living and working in France, is a humorist in his art. "The end of the world is near," claims Rose about his new series. The showing will include new drawings, collages and surrealist prints: "The world ends not in a bang, not in a whimper, but in a traumatic fit of über-consciousness."
Among the new works on display will be the "A Perfect Friend" collection. "With 'A Perfect Friend,' the artist reinvigorated and personalized surrealism, combining vintage and popular images of the 1920s and 1930s, often with children's science drawings from the 1950s, photographs from grammar books, and bits of detritus he found," promotional material says. "The 'stories' that issued from each of these pages were ink-jet printed."
