Breckenridge! This Weekend and Next
March 6-7 and 13-15, 2015
I will be in Breckenridge this weekend to unveil the large sculpture I started in Jackson last September. I will also be demonstrating by starting a new sculpture.
"Magical" is the first large sculpture I've ever done and will be 3-D scanned and available as a limited edition bronze. A very limited limited edition. Pre-cast pricing will be made available to collectors who wish to get a special price on a bronze casting during this weekend and the next.
If I haven't fallen in love with the original too much - I might be persuaded to part with it.
The original has been coated in bronze and copper and I have applied a cold patina and some Swarovski have been added in some fun strategic places and it has been coated with jeweler's grade resin to give added strength. "Magical" is based on a revolving stand too.
It will never be as resilient as a bronze replica - but on the other hand - the opportunity to own an original artwork of this size is a pretty amazing prospect. And I may never think about selling an original sculpture again. So here's your chance...maybe.
Here's a copy of the ad coming out for the show. Hope you can be there!

Contemporary Art Wednesday AND NEW GALLERY sneak peak
Here is a painting, done in oil, by Karla Mann who is also represented by the Jackson, Wyoming gallery also representing my work; Turpin Gallery. This painting is titled "Life's a Picnic"
Leaving the Colorado mountains and heading south and further south still to the artsy little town of Tubac, Arizona you will find many galleries. Head on over to Rogoway Turquoise Tortoise Gallery and you will see my horses there, right as you walk in. You will also see some amazing work by artist Michaelin Otis. This collage is called "Alert Harris".
Next, for your travels you decide to head east to Texas and find yourself in the picturesque little town of Fredericksburg. You are drawn to a stone house that has been beautifully converted into an art gallery called the RS Hanna Gallery and you are lucky enough to find the charming Shannon Hanna herself at the gallery (will you tell her I said "Hello" ?).
Along with a few of my horses you will see some fabulous art such as paintings and sculpture by fellow Colorado artists Lindsey Bittner Graham and Dan Glanz. I love Lindsey's loose painterly style and the way she communicates emotion in her work and Dan's sculptures of animals are so expressive.
and the sculpture below is one of Dan's sculptures titled "Bacon on the Breeze".
Brookwood is a non-profit community providing spiritual, educational and vocational opportunities for adults with special needs. A portion of the sales of my sculpture help support the citizens of this community and they have some awesome artists in their gallery. The pastels of artist, Rita Kirkman are among my favorites...I just love her cows!
'Til tomorrow!

New Gallery!! - Art on a Whim
It was a beautiful day - the Aspen trees are changing color and fall is in the air.
The Art on a Whim galleries are beautiful. Here is what they say about themselves on their website - I couldn't have said it better myself:
Art on a Whim is a family-run business founded in Breckenridge Colorado. We opened our Breckenridge gallery in December of 2007, expanded our space in November of 2011 and opened our Vail location in November of 2013. Our galleries were founded with the belief that beautiful art and culture should be accessible to everyone. We're rooted in the age-old American tradition of small, family-run businesses. We really like our economy so all of our art is handmade in America and most of it is created right here in Colorado.
We focus on carrying work that is unique, well executed and fun. The art we show is original and contemporary. It is created by living, working, professional American artists. We prefer representational works that capture the beauty of the mountains we call home, as well as abstracts that push creativity to new heights. We specialize in representing emerging and mid-career artists with well regarded national and international reputations. Our refined selection of the best artists found in Colorado sees that our collection represents our region and our love for the mountains. We love color and art that makes us smile. This is always immediately apparent upon entering our galleries.Here is a photo of me and gallery owner/founder Dena Raitman from yesterday and a few of the sculptures in the Breckenridge gallery - as well as an outside photo of the gallery.
Mark and I are very happy that Alex Alvis Sculpture is now to be found by our collectors and future collectors at Art on a Whim and look forward to a great relationship with Dena, her husband, Michael and their sons, Brian and Ross. When you are in either town, hope you will stop in at one or both of these locations.
Art on a Whim is also putting my work into the Summit County Parade of Homes this weekend and the next - so if you want to do something really fun, get some tickets and go!
Hope you are enjoying your Saturday! Inspiration Sunday coming up!
'Til tomorrow!
