> In a new studio exhibition co-sponsored by the Embassy of Ireland and
> Heineken, artists Bart O'Reilly and Daniel Stuelpnagel will show new
> paintings and host an opening reception for the one-night event from
> 6:00 to 10:00 pm on Saturday, June 16, 2007, at LOAD OF FUN studios in

>
> O'Reilly is a native of Dublin, Ireland, who has lived in Baltimore
> for four years. His work was featured in a solo exhibition at the
> Creative Alliance in Baltimore in 2006. The artist's paintings are
> represented in Ireland by several prominent galleries, including The
> Kenny Gallery in Galway, and Rubicon Gallery in Dublin, and in
> California by Art Concepts of Walnut Creek. O'Reilly has created a
> process in which he "materializes the real by engaging with the
> surface of media projections", projecting digital video on canvas
> while painting.
>
> O'Reilly and Stuelpnagel are among the first tenants in the converted
> warehouse at
> 120 West North Avenue, the former Lombard Office Furniture building
> now known as LO A D OF FU N. The 24,000 square foot building,
> owned by MICA faculty member and multimedia artist Sherwin Mark,
> provides work space for more than twenty tenants, as well as hosting
> monthly performances and gallery exhibitions.

> The title of the latest exhibition is Materializing The Story,
> including more than twenty new paintings influenced by digital video
> and computerized photographic aesthetics, while using traditional
> painting techniques of oil and acrylic paint on canvas. The resulting
> images are abstract and color-saturated compositions which can be
> interpreted as landscapes or distilled video images, which Stuelpnagel
> refers to as "charting a course through the collective mind."

> Stuelpnagel's work is represented in Washington, DC by Parish Gallery
> of Georgetown, in Sacramento, California by the Exploding Head
> Gallery, and in Lahaina, Hawaii by Sargent's Fine Art.
