It Was Her - It Is And Forever Will Be, is an exploratory series of paintings, drawings, and mixed-media by Lio Bumba and collaborators. It is a study into the artist self assessment of woman in society and the male gaze. The study is greatly influenced by the works of past mid-century male artists namely Otto Mueller, Matisse and Picasso. Further reference to mention is the influence of performative artists Yvonne Rainer and Isadora Duncan, who’s inspiring works and activism played a key role in setting the tone for the creations on display.

Lio Bumba, Lio is a self taught artist who boldly envisions the modern American experience in swaths of bright folk imagery, undoubtedly, inspired by his African descent but driven by current events and politics. His works range between paintings, drawings, mixed-media to performative art installations.

What is blockchain and what does it have to do with the art market? The October PhotoVox is an introductory talk for photographers about a technology called Blockchain (often associated with Bitcoin). Don’t worry, you won’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand! Blockchain presents new opportunities for democratizing control over all sorts of products both digital and physical and the art world is paying attention. Patti will describe what Blockchain is, how it’s being used in the art world and what the potential pitfalls are as things stand today. This technology has the potential to help photographers provide ownership certification, museum quality provenance tracking and control over the copyright, licensing and usage of your artwork.

Join us to hear Patti Hallock discuss the following:
  • What are some of the current offerings that are designed around Blockchain, specific toward photographers
  • What are the problems in the market as it stands today and look to the future
  • Why does this matter?
Armed with this information you will be prepared to evaluate the possible applications in your photographic art career.

Kelsie: "Retro death meets Portals to a New Vision: Experiments in Mixed Media"

The Garage @ Bitfactory (851 Santa Fe Drive in Denver)

One Night Only: First Friday, October 4, 2019

TheRescue“The Rescue” - 48” X 64” - Mixed media on stretched canvas

Kelsie Young aka The Glitter Freckle aka The Artist Kelsie, burst onto the Denver’s art scene in the late 90’s expressing herself through painting, sculpture, and spiritual study. She was most well-known for her exquisite face and bodypainting, sharing her gifts everywhere from the club scene, fashion shows, and St. Patrick’s Day parades of Denver, to a national 22 city tour. She became a regular presence painting faces at The Wizard’s Chest for Halloween and the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, through the early 2000’s.

After a several-year Hiatus from the public eye, The Artist Kelsie is re-emerging with an evolved sense of self, connection to her creative community, and vision for her current and future work. She is thrilled to share her new, multidimensional art at a one-night pop-up exhibit on First Friday October 4th, 2019 6-9 pm, in The Garage at Bitfactory, in the back of 851 Santa Fe Drive. Throughout the evening, visitors will be able to purchase art and merchandise and enjoy connective entertainment along with several, looped video tutorials showcasing the creative process in collaboration with Paul Peregrine and his team at Peregrine Studios in Denver.

In Kelsie’s new works she explores a range of paint combinations, techniques, and subject matter. "What I use to create a piece completely depends on the piece and its own voice in the creative process. Acrylic, oils, ink, enamel, and sometimes other stuff too. “My goal is that when your eyes meet a work, you will feel it.”

In addition to the pop-up show’s themed works, Kelsie will be exhibiting her piece “The Rescue”. Produced using her exclusive “paint-cutting” technique, this 48" x 64" mixed media on stretched canvas features a horse and rider in a surreal Colorado front range landscape. Her intention is to raise awareness of the Dumb Friend’s League (DFL) equestrian rescue program and she will be donating all of the funds from thesale of this artwork to the DFL. Founded in 1910, the Dumb Friends League, based in Denver, Colorado, is the largest independent, nonprofit community-based animal shelter/humane society in the Rocky Mountain region, caring annually for as many as 20,000 lost and relinquished pets, as well as hundreds of equines.

Kelsie Young (aka The Artist Kelsie) is a diverse multi-media artist that resides in Lakewood, Colorado. She creates mixed media fine art, body art, photography, and experimental performance art.
