Carl Vestweber will be presenting his solo show New Stuff by Carl Vestweber at Manichaus (pronounced: manic house), a new artist-run modern art space in McAllen, from July 11 to August 1, 2008. A reception will be held from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 11, 2008. The artist will present an informal talk at 8:30 p.m. Manichaus is located at 1301-B, North Main Street in McAllen. Admission is free.This will be Vestweber's first solo show. Vestweber is one of McAllen's most popular artists with his collection of characters ranging from Jim Bird to solitary robots and not-so-menacing Chupacabras. His work is lighthearted and just a bit introspective so that anyone can enjoy it. Vestweber will be presenting new drawings and watercolors.
Gallery summer hours are: Monday through Friday, 12 Noon to 6pm; and Saturdays by appointment. Please call 956-207-0940 or e-mail: manichaus@gmail.com for more information.
**************
TAOB Note: Lighthearted and just a bit introspective are the perfect words to describe the artwork of Carl Vestweber, and may we also add fun? When I look at his art I am reminded a bit of Dr. Suess's artwork and illustrations, but none the less Vestweber's work also speaks its own style. Some of you may remember his work from some of the first flyer cards made to promote McAllen ArtWalk. There was a flyer for each month thus a new work to appreciate as well. It's highly recommended you check this show out!
