Rose Squared "Conversations With Shoes" has Successful Opening Night


Opening Event Success!
August 7, 2009

JD Isaacs from Rose Squared sends this in.



Opened
August 7, 2009
Running through Sept, 17, 2009


Rose Squared is proud to have hosted an elegant and successful opening night to present the work of upcoming artist Jo Baskerville. Several paintings were sold and the atmosphere was electric. Jo's sister, Dawn, helped cater the affair with even his parents driving down from Virginia to attend. The gallery never looked more beautiful and the addition of the Angel-Diamond Collection of Antique women's shoes from the 1930's was a fun addition for the festive crowd that gathered.

"Conversations With Shoes" takes you into the world of "Fashion Modernism," a phrase coined by the artist to describe taking the art of fashion into the two dimensional world of painting on canvas and paper.

Come see these exciting paintings presented in a loose, fluid style of rendering that translates the art of shoe design into another form of art altogether.

"Jo Baskerville has done something unique not only in theme, but also in his personal style of painting. Every drip, every run and every brush stroke is perfectly placed with surprising spontaneity to interpret his subject in an energetic and exciting way. These paintings are not only serious depictions of iconic shoe fashions in history, but they have a whimsical air about them that puts a smile on your face and a kick in your step."
