GALLERY 1308 OPENING RECEPTION SET!

Pounds of gunpowder, yards of fuse, and piles of ash - and the resulting fire and explosions - have led to this!

The Wisconsin Union Art Directorate will present the explosion art of The American Gunpowder Artist, Stick Vega, at Gallery 1308 (Union South - Madison, WI).  The show will include gunpowder paintings, drawings and fine art prints.

WUD art will host an opening reception Friday, June 13th from 6-8pm with food and refreshments.  Vega will show about fifteen artworks which represent Vega's "Pop" Expressionism including some of his figurative and abstract work.  A facebook link to the event can be found here.

"Gallery 1308 is a great space, run by great people, I am sure this will be a blast!", said Stick Vega.

The show will continue through July 29th.

Here are some updates from WUD:  

The American Gunpowder Artist, Stick Vega, uses high speed fuse and gunpowder to produce his "pop expressionism" figurative and abstract paintings. In a blast, his recent explosion work depicts colorful animals, flowers, and explosive shapes. Stick's mission is, "the more gunpowder I use the less there is for killing people." 

Extraordinary Music will by Nick Nice will be in the Sett (down the hall from the Gallery from 5 to 7PM.

BBQ dinner and fish fry will and lots of cold beer will be on tap, too!
