Jeff Colson: Roll up
Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
"Jeff Colson grew up near the oil fields just north of Bakersfield, California. His father was a social worker whose do-it-yourself aesthetic, making everything from toys to homemade life jackets, informed Colson's own identity as a "crackpot tinkerer."
In his sculpture, Colson refers to both that quirky, by-the-seat-of-your-pants decision-making process and Modernism's purist grid. The sculptures are fabricated from both personal and cultural memory, often without referencing specific objects or images. The resulting forms are familiar, but aren't real. The ambiguous quality of the "fabricated" object that is real and isn't "real" registers the distortions of memory on "remembered" images and/or events.
Colson's sculptures are physical documents of remembered reality. The sense of history is also literal as each piece can take months, even years to make.
Jeff Colson graduated from California State College, Bakersfield. His work is in the Collection of Count Giuseppe Panza di Buomo at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angles; the Sammlung Rosenkranz Foundation in Wuppertal, Germany; the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California; and in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's permanent collection. He is represented by Ace Gallery in Los Angeles."

Practical advice for artists
1. Go to an art school that doesn’t cost too much. Those who go to Yale and Columbia might get a nine-month career bump right after graduation, but you’ll all be back on the same level in a year, and you won’t be in as much debt.
2. Envy will eat you alive.
3. Stay up late with each other after all the professors go to sleep. Support one another.
4. You can’t think your way through an art problem. As John Cage said, “Work comes from work.”
5. Follow your obsessions. If you love the Cubs that much, maybe they need to be in your work.
6. Don’t take other people’s ideas of skill. Do brain surgery with an axe.
7. Don’t define success by money, but by time.
8. Do not let rejection define you.
9. Don’t worry about getting enough sleep. Worry about your work.
10. Be delusional. It’s okay to tell yourself you’re a genius sometimes.

In Tandem opens September 13, 2012
The Wylie and May Louise Jones Gallery presents:
In Tandem: Matthew Rangel and Amie Rangel
Opening reception: September 13, 2012, 5:30 – 7:00 pm
The exhibit opens September 13 and runs through October 4, 2012.
- - - - - -
The first exhibit of the Fall 2012 semester features the work of artists Amie and Matthew Rangel.
The Rangels are a married couple who live, work, and make art in Visalia, California.
Living and working together one would expect to see similarities in their work. And one does in the subtle use of color, the precise, elegant drawing, and attention to craft. The work in this exhibit shows both their interest in ‘place’.
Amie’s large scale drawings on linen are elegant visual interpretations of impersonal seeming interiors. The drawings in this body of work were done on site in ‘agricultural facilities’ near where she was living at the time. According to Amie, ” The purpose of my work is not to find a definitive meaning, singular answer, or solution to the complex structure of institutional frameworks, but to raise awareness of spatial constructs within modern human society.”
Matthew’s work is about a connection with the landscape, were he is not just an observer but also a participant. In 2008 Matthew made a pilgrimage from his parents’ street to the summit of the Black Kaweah in the Sierra Nevada range. Lithographs, large scale drawings, topographic.maps, notes record the journey documenting encounters with the place with people who inhabit the place.

Robert Hughes on drawing
"Drawing brings us into a different, a deeper and more fully experienced relation to to the object. A good drawing says “not so fast, buster.” We have had a gut full of fast art and fast food. What we need more of is slow art: art that holds time as a vase holds water; art that grows out of modes of perception and making, whose skill and doggedness makes you think and feel; art that isn't merely sensational, that doesn't get its message across in seconds, that isn't falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our nature. In a word, art is the very opposite of mass media." — the late art critic Robert Hughes
