Mindy Kober

In Gallery B for the month of April we are very lucky and happy to have the work of Mindy Kober.

"As America enters the Twenty- first Century, our cultural banners and consumer lifestyles have extended to a far greater audience than ever before. I, as an artist, am particularly interested in our behavioral traits and the role which environment plays as a determinate. I juxtapose very stereotypical American characters as icons into foreign environments, or create an environment where these icons can interact with foreign characters or figures. At a more subtle level, I imbue the actions of children and adult characters with very different consequences. While on the surface, children may seem innocent in their foreign journeys, the weight of their cultural imperiative foreshadows the inevitable next step. Adulthood brings journeys in which the steps are destructive and deliberate. Pristine landscapes of mountains, trees, and rivers are forever altered and swept aside by the march of American progress. I want to challenge the viewer to look beyond the icons, the characters, and the settings; yet see the simplicity, both in the scene and the solution."
Mindy Kober

April 6th from 6-9pm

Studio 27.28, Art Gallery is proud to present art by Ed Trask, a solo show (with artist Mindy Kober in Gallery B), on April 4, 2009 (First Saturday) from 6-9pm. Studio 27.28 is located at 2728 Girard Ave Philadelphia PA 19130. Ed Trask, based out of Richmond VA, paints dilapidated buildings, soon to be developed landscapes, forgotten architectural gems, and telephone and power lines that connect to the abstract.

“I paint a symbolic portrait of themes dealing with preservation, spirituality, and a social, moral loss of history in a consumer driven age. There is a conflict between composition, surface, and representation, and a battle between an almost graffiti like graphic flatness with a heavy-handed painterly approach.” - Trask

While in school at Virginia Commonwealth University, Ed Trask spent every waking hour painting and playing music in the mid 80’s Richmond punk scene. By his junior year, after many attempts for gallery attention, he decided to make the dilapidated buildings surrounding VCU his gallery.

The paintings were directly applied to the buildings, or screwed onto the buildings illegally until the city was covered. In 1992, Ed graduated with a painting degree and moved to Washington D.C. where he started touring with the Dischord records band the Holy Rollers, & continued to paint illegal murals all over the world. Three years later he moved back to Richmond to join the band Kepone.

While the demand for his paintings started to grow, he started a gallery and made a go at mural and sign work. The work has never stopped flowing in, and Ed Trask’s work has been collected into many permanent collections including Gap, Capitol One, Fortune Magazine, N.B.C. Philip Morris, Media General and Play Inc. Ed now plays in the bands AVAIL and Corntooth, continues to have art shows worldwide and has his studio in Richmond Virginia where he lives with his beautiful wife and two children.

Last night Mike from Arrival Boardshop in the Poconos came down to see the show and to go out to Era for food and drinks. It was a long night with too many drinks, but Leigh and I did manage to get out and enjoy the lovely weather.
