Mark Arminski's Processional of the Not So Ordinary
323East Gallery Presents Mark Arminksi’s “Processional of The Not So Ordinary”
Rare Exhibit of Mark Arminski Paintings Opens Saturday May 15, 2010
Get here early... We are giving away a 6x8 in signed and numbered print to the first 30 guest that ask for one.
323East presents “Processional of the Not So Ordinary” a rare exhibit of paintings by renowned artist Mark Arminski. The show opens on Saturday May 15, 2010 with an artist’s reception from 6 p.m. – 11 p.m., and runs through June 10, 2010.
Widely recognized for his eye-popping, colorful concert art, the “Processional of the Not So Ordinary” focuses on extraordinary individuals - some famous, some not – and is Arminski’s first exhibit to solely showcase his paintings.
Among Arminski’s “not so ordinary” subjects are sideshow performers The Great Omi and Jo Jo The Dog Faced Boy, Swiss scientist (and LSD inventor) Albert Hofmann, celebrity Pee Wee Herman, local artist Audrey Pongrancz and more. At times Arminski’s bold, often-dreamlike portraits evoke a sense of his subjects traveling through an unconscious world. But Arminski prefers viewers to draw their own conclusions, explaining “what it means to me is less important then what it means to you.”
Although starting out in fine arts, Detroiter Mark Arminski first gained international fame for his highly collectable concert posters, many which are featured in the book “Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion, “ alongside Coop, Frank Kozik and other pioneers in the field. Highly regarded by both critics and art collectors, Arminski was named “Artist of the Year” by Visions magazine and has been profiled in Juxtapoz, Metro Times, Real Detroit Weekly, Detroit Pubic TV and numerous overseas publications.
For Arminski, the “Processional of the Not So Ordinary” is a return to his fine art roots, and an opportunity for him to embrace the organic process of painting. In addition to his original paintings, Arminski will also have limited edition prints of some of the exhibit’s most provocative images available for sale at 323East.
There's a saying among artists - Do what you like to pay the rent. Do what you love the rest of the time.
Apparently Mark Arminksi has mastered this "duality" quite well. He is acclaimed for rock posters, album illustrations, and any number of other commercial pieces (many of which fetch top dollar as originals), but he has also carved an admirable niche for himself as a painter. Furthermore, Arminski is noted for an almost uncanny gift in discerning a wealth of subtext behind, beneath, and above his chosen subjects. He is a muralist, a body painter par excellence, a master at silk screen, and one of the few people whose computer generated works still retain the hallmark of a traditionally trained craftsman.
The Arminski works at 323 East will pay tribute to all these.
