Artistsʼ Reception at Yikes Toys

October 17, 2012 |

“She Devil.” Glass mosaic collaboration between Velvet Glass and fluff.

Yikes Toys Art Department announces the addition of 2 local artists to their gallery, Herb Stratford and Velvet Glass. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012 from 6 – 8 pm. Both Stratford and Glass will be in attendance, as well as Catherine Eyde, Valerie Galloway and Vicki Lázaro, who all have work on view.

Stratfordʼs one-of-a-kind sculptural objects incorporate lenses, photographs and found items (ranging from teeth to maps to strange implements) in an antique box form. Mysterious and provoking, the artifacts embody a sense of memory and history upon which the viewer can reflect and piece together a puzzle of connections and meaning.

Glass offers wonderfully, fun glass mosaics on pop culture themes. Movie monsters are carefully crafted out of black, white and grey glass, capturing the drama of classic films. Cute blow fish float in a sea of blue. Devil Girl mischievously delights in a melding of red, black and flesh. Perfectly playful art.
