Wicked's newest art show featuring some of the finest photographers and artists on the east coast. This shows concentration will be on 2 things... the artful figurative form in contrast at how we look at nudity publicly and our intense visions of what we find artful in the human form.

We have a wonderfully talented artist from Asheville, Leslie Samuels, who wields dynamic creatures from Mummified animals, wings and things while intertwining it with Nature to create a dramatic and fanciful effect. ...

The details…
November 3, 2011
After the success of the opening at Wicked, where things often become standing room only, it occurred to us that it may be possible for some of the brilliance in the work to be overlooked. Especially in fragile sculpture where it is hard to bend and study pieces while you have people behind and on the sides of you. So we thought we would go in and take a few snapshots of what makes Jeff Coleman and his father's work so incredibly special... The Details...

Memento Mortis: A New/Old Kind of Memory Jewelry
May 30, 2011
Memento Mortis: A New/Old Kind of Memory Jewelry The idea of memorial or sweetheart jewelry is a very old one. Trinkets featuring a lover's name or likeness, or commemorating the death of someone important, exist as far back as Ancient Egypt. It's heyday, however, was during the Victorian Era, the later half of the 19th century. Today, we take for granted that we can have photographs of the people that we love, something that reminds us of them whether they are still with us or whether they have shuffled off this mortal coil. Most of us have tiny cameras attached to our phones, ...

More Steampunk Circus updates… yet more, yes more.
March 25, 2011
Just a few items to preserve accuracy. Megan Amelia Burnett will not be performing on this night. She requested to perform directly to the Steampunk Circus clan but under terms of contract we, the gallery, are not authorized to pay for the performance. Event wise this would pose a damper on our devotion to our pre existing solo exhibition by Gabriel Lehman that was scheduled 3 months in advance. (This is crucial to bring you an optimum show from Gabriel being that he is showing at Bottega tonight 3.25.2011 we need to make sure he is advertised correctly so that patrons ...
A Spider, a book, perverseness and the hook!
March 22, 2011
Sunday we spent the day with our friend Spider Webb in Charlotte, NC, where we switched out some artwork, had a great lunch thanks to his amazing wife Sharon and flipped through his new book "Angels Ink from Above." I met Spider doing a location shoot for a rag I was supposed to be working for. Best thing to come from it I'd say! If you are not familiar with Spider let me walk you through a little history. He is one of the original tattooers/promotors out of NY. He fought for almost 20 years to get tattooing legal in the ...
2 Wicked Artist’s work used in ABC series!
March 18, 2011
Wicked reserves the right to brag endlessly on artists in the gallery, especially when they continually achieve greatness. Carolyn Colby has by far outsold anything that I have put in the Wicked. She continues to impress the masses with her vivid ideas, swirls of imagination and bubbles, like thoughts, holding glimpses of organic realism. She is a draw and most take her fantasies home with them. Rarely has Wicked or Feral Art Collective taken on an artist in the management sense, but after careful consideration and at the behest of the artist we are nothing more than flattered to do so. We see ...
April 16th’s Steampunk Circus Updates!

Opportunity knocked... immediately after Red Death Masquerade of course, when we were cock eyed and half dead, but opportunity none the less. http://harrytaylorphoto.blogspot.com/ Our good neighbors at Patterson - Behn proceeded to put together a nice photo shoot with Harry Taylor in the combined courtyard of Wicked and Patterson - Behn. Taylor does a variety of photography work, from weddings to gallery exhibition captures but he is most sought after lately for his "Tintype" portraits. Harry uses a 110 year old camera, on site processing and unlimited imagination to recreate a feeling of novelty from an almost forgotten process. The Tintype by common definition, also ...

Gabriel Lehman Solo Exhibition!
March 4, 2011
[caption id="attachment_1143" align="aligncenter" width="219" caption="Gabriel Lehman"][/caption] Saturday April 9th One Wicked Gallery will be unveiling Gabriel's Massive collection of new works, inspired by his recent move from Wilmington to Indiana. Lehman's work is easily recognizable from his whimsy, free, elongated silhouettes and lanky limbs. The landscapes are Burton-esque with fantastic creatures often gliding gently, hopping with toes barely brushing the petals of stylized flowers teetering in the wind. Vintage window frames give insight into the soul of the artist, allowing each piece to unfurl an emotional narrative. His style stirs up childhood memories of simpler times when imagination could just run ...
LYKY design… Loves you Kill you..
February 24, 2011
Despite the endless things that you can bring into the genre the definition of Steampunk remains virtually the same throughout. From Christian Fantasy's definitions... it's A subgenre of Alternate History; this generally deals with advanced technology in the altered past. Wiki's short and sweet version... A subgenre of speculative science fiction set in an anachronistic 19th century society. To the more in depth ramblings of scifipedia and monstercommute ... Steampunk is set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction ...
Velvet… scenes from the breather show.
February 19, 2011
The Velvet Show idea appeared one day while sitting in Artfuel jabbering with Dave Tollefson. I think he was just telling us about the three old velvet pieces he bought for next to nothing... (which ended up being that stunning Indian and John Wayne on display in Wicked.) "We should do a Velvet show here... in Artfuel" I said. Now Dave. sharing the same grumpy disposition to a "T" as me sometimes, not always shares the wacky side of my sense of humor... So we had a good chuckle and moved on. The idea of Velvet kind of stuck though. I ...

Feral Art and Wicked’s Media Past and Present
January 24, 2011
Feral Art Collective and Wicked Both love to make waves. This is not necessarily a bad thing. We mostly do it for exposure of our artists and to present the public with an option to view varying art forms, make decisions for themselves and have the ability to appreciate art that is different. With that being said, we have never really been ones to subscribe to the "any press is good press" opinion. We don't feel being infamous is a beneficial as executing your goal the right way. We feel both Feral and Wicked have been very lucky with their ...
