40 IN 4D: forty digital paintings viewed through augmented reality

40 in 4D features forty digital paintings by four diverse artists, all revealed in the gallery using augmented reality.

The exhibit runs from Sep 27 through Nov 9, 2019

Opening Night of our newest exhibit, 40 in 4d, is September 27th — which coincides with our 6th Anniversary as a fine art gallery as well as two solo shows in GalleryTWO behind the main exhibit floor at 1+1=1. We hope to see you this weekend!

1+1=1 Gallery will be showcasing an experimental interactive exhibit with four digital artists. “40 in 4D” opens September 27th with an evening reception at which the four artists will give a panel-style talk about their work and the interactive features of their paintings. Visitors will be able to see the artist’s process of painting each of the 40 paintings!

Traditional 2d artwork sits on a wall. 3d art may move in and out from the wall’s surface. In this exhibit, 40 in 4D, the artists use augmented reality to reveal their process, peeling back the paintings from the final result to the first digital brush or pencil stroke. Visitors will walk into 1+1=1 Gallery and see right there on the walls, the process behind all 40 paintings in the show.

Artists Featured:

Dan Cohen, Portland OR
Ryan Johnson, New York City
Andy Lunday, Portland OR
Gabe Shaughnessy, Portland OR

Lunday and Shaughnessy grew up in Helena and reside in Portland Oregon. Cohen also lives in Portland and Johnson is a New York City artist. Their exhibit at 1+1=1 is the first time the group has shown their paintings with the custom augmented reality app, 4D, developed by Shaughnessy.

Please join us for a very special exhibit opening night and anniversary celebration on Friday evening, September 27th from 5 to 8pm. Our openings are always fun opportunities to meet the artists and hear about their inspirations, motivations and methods. This time we have an even better opportunity for gallery visitors! The four 4D artists will give a panel-style talk Friday evening from 5:30 to 6 and will be available after the talk to show visitors how to use the custom-developed augmented reality app to view their paintings.

Saturday, September 28 there will be an Open House at the gallery, to meet the artists who will be available for questions, demonstrations of their painting methods and the custom app for the show. Come learn in a quieter atmosphere.

1+1=1 Gallery is located at 434 N. Last Chance Gulch in Helena. For more information about the upcoming exhibit, please call (406) 431-9931.

 

40 in 4D runs through November 9th. Stop by 1+1=1 Gallery anytime we’re open and see the show in person!

Intro to Encaustic Painting

Encaustic Painting Workshop Super Successful

Darla Myers, talented painter and excellent art educator, led her second workshop at 1+1=1 Gallery on Saturday October 7th. The full day workshop was enthusiastically reviewed by our 6 participants. So much creative exploration and synergy, learning from Darla and from each other.

Most of the workshop participants decided to continue learning by taking one of Darla’s encaustic workshops in her Bozeman studio. We are also planning more encaustic workshops in Helena. Go here to get on the list for notifications about classes and workshops at 1+1=1 Studio. Let us know that’s what you’re interested in!

 

Check out the experiments in encaustic, our studio setup and of course — happy workshop participants!

COMPANION: Perspectives on a Shared Life

COMPANION: Perspectives on a Shared Life features diverse artworks by four artists

The exhibit runs from Aug 9 through Sep 14, 2019

Shop Companion in Our Online Catalog

Please join us for an opening on Friday evening, Aug 9th from 5 to 8pm. Our openings are fun opportunities to meet the artists and hear about their inspirations, motivations and methods. We’ll serve beer, wine, cold beverages and lots of delicious appetizers and desserts.

COMPANION features the work of four contemporary artists working in a range of mediums, the exhibit encourages viewers to consider their relationships with each other and the animals with whom we share our lives. Each artist has interpreted ‘companion’ in her own way, and we think the resulting exhibit is powerful, thought-provoking and fascinating.

** Seattle printmaker Dawn Endean, states that she is drawn to dogs’ vulnerability – to how “dependent they are on the luck of the draw. They accept their lot; often with joy, loyalty and sweetness… and give back a hundred fold.” Her emotional images are made with intricate layering of intaglio plates, monoprinting and collage.

** Dara Daniel of northern California, looks back through history at our human capacity to connect with animals, particularly horses, who have been companions, escorts, guides and even counterparts to their human friends. She paints horses because their souls are beautiful to look at while expressing excitement, joy and spirit.

** With her distinctive voice, Susan Mattson has expressed for years, the close connection between human and non-human beings. Her sculptural clay vessels often depict animals with bodies covered by a mass human faces. Are we separate or are we life-companions? How do our actions affect every other being on this planet? Can we learn from our companions? Who is in charge?

** We are sharing our journey of life on Earth with uncountable species. Betsey Hurd believes, as do many indigenous peoples of Earth, that we are all one. No separation of species. Where does one of us end and another begin? What exactly is our connection? Hurd’s polymorphic fabulism pieces are about the integration of species. And … as a horse-woman and experienced artist, Betsey’s horse-beings are often the subject of her ceramic sculptures, along with other beings like deer, dogs, cats, bison and birds.

COMPANION runs through September 14th. Stop by 1+1=1 Gallery anytime we’re open and see the show in person!

BODY 2019 – Opening Reception

BODY 2019: our Fourth Annual Art Jewelry and Figurative Art Exhibit

Opening night of our BODY III on May 10th, was a smashing success. Check out our photos of the reception and plan to make it to our next opening reception on June 21st!

Opening Night or Quiet Gallery Day?

Do you like parties and groups? As always, if you like to be social and surrounded by friends new and old … if you like a good party with great food, wine and other beverages, and stimulating conversation … if you like to be part of the buzz and happenings of downtown Helena, then our opening receptions are a perfect way to spend a Friday evening. We greet everyone with equal enthusiasm and consider you to be part of the 1+1=1 family. Save the date – June 21st – for another fabulous opening party!

Or do you like quiet days better? If you are more of a calm-afternoon art lover … someone who likes to take your time viewing art in a peaceful yet visually energetic atmosphere … if you want to look at each artwork closely and carefully … if you like to browse art exhibits in the middle of the week or a lazy Saturday afternoon, then 1+1-1 Gallery is the perfect place to be. Come on in and find something wonderful, original and evocative next time you are in our neighborhood. Enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and good conversation (or peace and quiet) anytime.

Here’s our album of photos from May 10th:
