First Monday Art Talk: NemoDazzle JazzMonday March 1, 2010 from 7-9pm
MEET ARTIST Nemo his art and influences. The Fun Begins at 7p.m. as always:
Nemo was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He has a background in architectural and graphic design and is currently working as a professional artist. He and his wife Hannah started their own art and design business from their historic home less than a mile from the Alamo. They now live in Denver, Colorado with a great view of the Rocky Mountains. Words from nemo: The focus of my art is not the subject, but the method by which I constructed it. As a trained architectural draftsman grown weary of computer aided drafting, I had the desire to put my manual drawing skills to work. Drafting requires a steady hand, mastery of one’s tools and patience, as does my art work. I use various line weights combined with multiple styles of circles, spirals and swirls to compose the subject. The entire image is drawn freehand with number two pencil and an accent of colored pencil on vellum drafting paper. I choose my subjects due to their beauty, but for me the real beauty is found in the complexity of details made with the most primitive of tools. FIRST MONDAY ART TALK MANTRA “Making art is a common and intimately human activity, filled with all the perils (and rewards) that accompany any worthwhile effort. The difficulties art makers face are not remote and heroic, but universal and familiar.” – David Bayles, Ted Orland DAZZLE RESTAURANT & LOUNGE is located at 930 Lincoln St. Denver, CO. Dazzle is a member and a strong supporter of the Golden Triangle Museum District.
