This past Friday was the first Friday of the month. That meant Dupont galleries were open late. More importantly, it meant free booze.From 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. every first Friday, Dupont galleries serve snacks and wine. Hoards of art lovers and poor/cheap people descend into the streets. The former can also enjoy some interesting pieces and possibly meet the artists.
At the Washington Printmakers Gallery, I met Fleming Jeffries and spent some time talking to her about a book she made. Her work is colorful, organic, and feels a little eastern.
My favorite work by far was by Steve Lapin. He makes crazy works in ceramics. One piece was a circular on the wall with a car bursting forth through a brick wall. The car popped out at you. The bricks flew out at you. The pieces were fun, colorful, whimsical, and amusing. Then, when you got closer, they were incredibly detailed and beautiful. Photos don't do them justice, but here are a few anyway.
