Front Room Gallery
Since 1999 The Front Room Gallery has been dedicated to exhibiting
artwork by emerging and mid-career artists with a concentration on photography,
conceptual art, video, audio art, and installation.
Thomas Broadbent
Thomas Broadbent's room sized installations have included inflatable sewn
sculptures, video, billboards and ice sculpture. He addresses social and
political issues with a humor that serves to expose inherent contradictions.
Visually Broadbent takes the idea of "art as entertainment"
as a positive function, incorporating the viewer as a sometimes unwitting
participant in his larger-than-life production..
Erik Guzman
Erik Guzman’s sculptures consist of a multitude of precision cut
parts of aluminum, glass and plastics. These material elements are assembled
to create mechanical devices that rotate, point, generate sound, and illuminate
without obvious or logical results. Guzman’s sculptures overwhelm
the senses even as they seduce them with their clean lines and shiny surfaces.
His devices reawaken the individual senses that have been dulled by the
effect of modern technology and fashionable gadgets.
Philip Simmons
Philip Simmons, through his large, exceedingly glossy and monolithic silhouette
sculptures taps into the grandiose archetype of the American Wild West.
The sculptures adopt the visual language of western road signs of a bygone
era of idealism, much like the famous Mobile gas Pegasus sign that Andy
Warhol iconized. Spare, glossy, and minimal – like a Clint Eastwood
spaghetti western movie – his works almost demand to be consumed
by the viewer in an instant.
