The Schumacher Gallery is one of Columbus’ most hidden gems. Their massive donor-based collection is tucked comfortably away on the 4th floor of Capital University’s Blackmore Library. Among contemporary names like Warhol, Chagall, Nevelson, Picasso, and Calder, the public can also see a wide array of African, Inuit, Asian, and European greats. I’m proud to be part of “Elements”, a grouping of Ohio-based artists whom (as the show title points out) thematically spark from natural elements in some fashion.

Dispatch_Schumacher2I’m pleased to share that “Elements”, a group show at the Schumacher gallery, was reviewed in today’s Columbus Dispatch newspaper. My work was featured both in the physical paper and the online version. It was also a nice surprise to see my work sharing a spread with my long-time friend & former boss, the late Denny Griffith. A giant thank you to Nancy Gilson who wrote the article.

Schumacher Gallery Brings Absolutes Home

by Daric Gill

It’s my great pleasure to announce that six of my Absolute paintings will be on display at the Schumacher Gallery as part of their Elements Exhibition. National circulation has recently kept my Absolute paintings from my home state of Ohio. It will be nice to show them to a home crowd again. This exhibition features a pool of talented artists and can be seen among a private collection that contains a wonderfully large number of international heavy-hitters in the art world.

Exhibition Dates:
January 18 – March 23

Meet-the-Artists Opening Reception:
Friday, January 22, 5:00 – 7:30 p.m.

A Guide For Improving Productivity For the Social Artist

The Positives (& Pitfalls) Of The Social Artist

by Daric Gill

Urban Scrawl OpeningAn artist’s occupation can be full of socialization. Art openings, studio gatherings, or normal artist meet-ups have plenty to offer an artist if they are so inclined. Congregating with other like-minded people can aid in idea making, business propositions, and escape the general studio (or day-job) rut. Most see it as a necessity to stay relevant in the quickly changing world of art. But it can also hold a large base of distraction if one isn’t careful. In this article, I’ll discuss the merits of the social artist as well as the inhibitors that can sometimes lead to more procrastination than a primer.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with simply having a good time with friends. This article is aimed at the artist who is looking to be more social or is interested in getting a little more from their social exuberance.
