| The paintings of Grace Slick, lead singer of the 60’s rock group Jefferson Airplane, are coming to ART on 5th in April. One of Austin’s favorite rockers will be showing her new paintings at the 5th Street gallery April 1-April 24, 2010. Since the last time her work was showcased at the gallery, Grace has created many new and exciting paintings which will be shown for the first time at the Austin exhibit. Expanding on her popular Wonderland Series and continuing to create intimate portraits of her rock contemporaries, the show will feature a wide range of these special paintings. Also included in the exhibit will be several of Grace’s conceptual sketches that are the first step in her creating larger paintings. These sketches are smaller pencil drawings demonstrating the spark of creativity that emerges at the time an artist first gets the idea for a particular work. These sketches have been in Grace’s archive since she began painting in the 1990s and only now has she chosen to share them with her collectors. All artwork will be available for purchase. Due to health issues, Grace is not able to fly to Austin to attend the opening. However, ART on 5th will be hosting a special LIVE big screen closed circuit appearance by Grace on Friday, April 16, 2010 starting at 6:30pm. Two Q & A sessions with Grace will be held during the evening. Clients will be able to meet and speak with Grace in a personal setting thanks to the marvels of technology. This unique opportunity to meet and talk to one of rock’s true icons will surely be a memorable event for those collectors attending the opening. Over 50 originals and limited editions will be in the exhibition and available for purchase. |
