Eye Lounge artist collective is seeking new member

Eye Lounge artist collective is seeking new members! For 20 years, Eye Lounge has presented fresh, contemporary art from emerging and mid-career artists. Our members have built eye lounge into a vital part of the Phoenix art scene. We have received attention from local and national press, as well as gallery directors and museum curators.

We are seeking contemporary artists working in all media who are looking to expand their artwork as part of a dedicated, collaborative, artist group. Membership entitles each artist to one annual solo show and participation in multiple group shows every year. Because the space is paid for through dues, each artist has the complete curatorial control during their solo exhibitions.

This is the final weekend to see "Surface Studies," an exhibition of my new ceramic work at Eye Lounge gallery!

As I work, I'm always asking myself "What if...? and experimenting with different materials and mark-making techniques. For "Lotus 1" I worked additively and subtractively: applying and removing layers of glaze, underglaze, slip, and ceramic stains with brushes, bulb trailers, a pitcher, sponges, a spray gun, and a palette knife.

Eye Lounge is on #RooseveltRow
at the corner of Roosevelt and 5th Street (enter from 5th). The gallery is open until 5 pm today and from 11-3 tomorrow.

The work in my current exhibition “Surface Studi

The work in my current exhibition “Surface Studies” begins with turning bags of clay into slabs. To make an 11” x 15” x 3/4” slab, I start with about 15 pounds of clay. Using a wooden mallet and the side of my hand, I flatten the clay until it is roughly an inch high. Then, I use a rolling pin and wooden slats to bring the slab down to a final thickness of ¾” inch. Sheets of canvas keep the clay from sticking to the tabletop. Flipping the clay to roll it from different directions ensures the finished slab won’t warp in the kiln. The next step is to refine the surface by compressing the clay and smoothing away the canvas texture. Finally, I trim the slab to the correct size with a tarpaper template and a straightedge.

"Surface Studies" at Eye Lounge gallery closes Sunday, January 10! Gallery hours F 5-8, Sat 11-5, Sun 11-3, and by appointment. Eye Lounge is on #RooseveltRow at the corner of 5th St. and Roosevelt (enter from 5th). The show can also be viewed without an appointment by entering through MADE Art Boutique.

Thanks to the gallery visitors who attended Sunday

Thanks to the gallery visitors who attended Sunday’s “Masks and Resists” demo! Eye Lounge really appreciates the community support we’ve received in 2020, and we’re looking forward to another year on #RooseveltRow.

“Surface Studies,” Amy Sansbury Manning’s first solo exhibition at Eye Lounge, continues through January 10, 2021. Manning says, “I am always experimenting when I am in the studio, asking ‘What will it look like if I do X instead of Y?’” The multiple tiles and panels in this exhibition invite comparisons and contrasts between the results of these experiments with different slips, glazes, ceramic stains, and metal oxides.

The gallery is open on Fridays 5-8, Saturdays 11-5, Sundays 11-3, and other times by appointment visit eyelounge.com or DM the artist @amymanningart to schedule. The exhibition can also be viewed without an appointment by entering the gallery through MADE Art Boutique during store hours.

For some of the work in my exhibition "Surface Studies" I experimented with leaving negative space between ceramic panels. It's definitely something I'm looking forward to exploring further!

There are a couple spots left in this afternoon's demo of some of masks and resists I use when making layers of color and texture. One of the techniques I'll explain is newspaper resist, which is how I made sharp demarcations between the black and white areas in "Four." Demo is outside the gallery (5th St. amd Roosevelt) at 3 pm. DM to reserve a place!

"Surface Studies" at Eye Lounge will be open until January 10. Gallery hours in bio, or DM to schedule a private viewing. The gallery is also open without an appointment during MADE Art Boutique hours (M-F 12-6).

Tomorrow afternoon at 3pm I'll be hosting a short demonstration of some of the masks and resists I used to build up layers of color and textures on the work in "Surface Studies," the current exhibition in the Eye Lounge gallery.

Today the exhibition is open extended Saturday hours 11-5 to allow increased social distancing; gallery hours tomorrow are 11-3. The exhibition continues until January 10. Full hours in bio!
