SOME LIKE IT HOT
3 artists from Flame Run Gallery
Nov 2 - Dec 13, 2008
Sara Shallenberger Brown and Mezzanine Lobbies
Flame Run's goal is to share the endless possibilities of contemporary glass art with the public. From our art glass studio and art glass gallery tours, hot glass demonstrations, contemporary glass art exhibitions, and community classes to visiting artists’ workshops, Flame Run has put Louisville on the map as a destination for contemporary glass artists, educators and collectors. Flame Run is about seeing, feeling and experiencing the passion of our glass artists. At Flame Run the focus is glass.
Brook Forrest White, Jr., co-owner of Flame Run Glass Studio in Louisville, invests himself in the magic and mystery of hot glass. He creates colorful, seductive forms with patterning that takes the viewer to another dimension.
Susie Slabaugh White’s work explores the coupling of seductive form and radiant color with narrative images of her life. She use a collaboration of methods in an inventive way to get the desired results. Through this process, the energy trapped in the glass is fused with her energy found deep within. From sweat to substance, it is both meditative and exciting.
Anessa Arehart's Beauty Paintings are loosely based on lessons learned from her Grandmother, Lena. Balanced with a good dose of modern practicality and a bit of humor, Anessa strives to keep a few basic rules alive in regards to Lena's personal standards of beauty, charm and poise. She believes it doesn't hurt to give a little nod of respect to tradition now and again and encourages a wee bit of decorum while swinging from the chandelier. Or at the very least, to be wearing a proper slip when doing so.
