Renowned Dallas artist Frank Campagna has an exhibition of new prints at the Magnolia Gallery, located inside the Magnolia Theatre in the West Village, from March 20– April 23, 2008. The reception is Friday, March 21st, from 8-10 PM. Admission to the reception is free and the art is available for viewing or purchase during regular theatre hours, or by contacting Scott Horn at magnoliagallery@gmail.com. Go to www.landmarktheatres.com for show times and more information about the theatre.
This show consists of limited edition prints of no more than 25 per plate The work features iconic images of figures from the recent past - no two are exactly alike by any means. Frank explains this series as “images [that] reoccur in my life on a regular basis or things I'd like to see stick around a bit longer. They make me smile, remind me of times gone by, and of a simpler era perhaps even prior to my life. Personally, it's always seemed like a good idea to understand and respect the past to grasp and appreciate the future.”
Frank Campagna has earned a living creating art since the late 1970's, mostly via the music industry. He has been commissioned to provide art for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson among others. Campagna has created art work for a long list of venues including The Agora Ballroom, The Bronco Bowl, Starplex Amphitheater, SXSW, Nokia Theater, over 1,000 murals for Gypsy Tea Room, and most recently for the House of Blues. In addition to being a prolific creator of his own art, in 2005 Frank opened (with co-owner Kirk Hopper) Kettle Gallery, which was the Voter’s Choice for Best Art Gallery in the 2007 Observer Awards, in addition to being selected to participate in the Affordable Art Fair in New York City in July 2007.
