Pink Dog Creative is happy to announce the following news and events:

Anna Jensen: The Bait Hides the Hook
at Pink Dog Creative Gallery
June 19 - August 2, 2015
Opening Reception Friday, June 19, 5 - 8 pm
The Bait Hides the Hook, an exhibition of paintings by Anna Jensen, opens at Pink Dog Creative Gallery, 348 Depot St., Asheville, NC on Friday June 19, 2015 with a public reception from 5 - 8 pm.

Jensen’s psychological landscapes and emotionally complex narratives in acrylic, glitter, and oil stick bring to mind the humor and pathos previously mastered by great expressionists and later manifested by pop artists. Jensen combines references to art history, pop culture, natural science, and personal chronicles to represent the conflicts of life.

Anna was also recently featured in Paint Pens Collective. Read her post online at Paint Pens Collective.


Steven Silverleaf
at Pink Dog Gallery
May 8 - June 15, 2015
Figurative Work by Steven Silverleaf, an exhibit of paintings and drawings at the Pink Dog Creative Gallery, 348 Depot St., will run through June 15, 2015.

Steven Silverleaf has worked with models and sitting figures for over fifteen years, but creates most of his work from his imagination in the absence of the model. He uses a variety of mediums to create a relaxed and introspective mood. The work shows a love of both the tradition of drawing and painting in combination. The artist explores a very distinctive line and color that is all his own.

Joseph Pearson
at Pink Dog Creative
Pink Dog Creative would like to welcome its newest artist, Joseph Pearson, who will have a studio in 348 Depot St.

"Inspired by the subject matter that unites our humanity, I am interested in telling the story of the "Everyman," painting people as portraits and figures in oil, charcoal and pastel pencil. The source of my inspiration derives from numerous directions, including scenes from the streets, issues in the news, and subject matter I have read about regarding current social trends. My present body of work addresses the universal use of social media in public and private settings. My work also embraces the concept of social realism by drawing attention to everyday conditions, I am interested in the transformative energy of art to heal social ills. My work is inspired by my sensitivity to those who are considered to be on the fringes of society as well as the sense of alienation my childhood shyness made me feel. No conversation is more worth having than that which addresses to some degree the condition of our fellow man."
