Rock Paint Scissors March 11, 2009

Soulard Art Market and Contemporary Gallery welcomes St. Louis area artists, Bob Reuter, Julie Malone and David Langley in the Rock, Paint, Scissors exhibit this March. Through photography, painting and collage, each artist introduces viewers to their passion for creating.

Bob Reuter’s view from behind the lens showcases the South Side’s most influential and infamous St. Louisians. Reuter’s edgy photographs capture the essence of the characters he shoots, namely local artists and musicians.

Using her distinctive markings and intense coloring, Julie Malone has created raw, gritty works for Rock, Paint, Scissors. Inspired by dark environments, she scrapes the pavement and bellows out the blacker side of her psyche.

With pages of a 1950’s Life magazine, David Langley creates humorous and intriguing collages and paintings juxtaposing a time gone by with contemporary thoughts. His work touches on gender roles featuring vintage pop culture that transcends the intended era specific commercialization.

The Rock, Paint, Scissors exhibit, along with the one night only national traveling Sketchbook Project, will open Wednesday March 11th with an additional artist’s reception and special performance by Bob Reuter on Friday March 13th at Soulard Art Market and Contemporary Gallery, 2028 South 12th Street, St. Louis, MO 63104. The show runs through April 5th.
