Tony Renner at City-Wide Open Studios Tour

T. Renner, "Imaginary Landscape (for Harry Stooshinoff) #8, 2010, acrylic on paper, 5.4" x 4.10".

This Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. I'll be taking part in the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis' City-wide Open Studios Tour.

Since I don't really have a studio, I'll be meeting-and-greeting at the Artist Studio Building, in the same building as Pace Framing at 3842 Washington Avenue, where a number of other folks will also be showing off their work.

I'll be making and giving away small "Imaginary Landscapes" and "Motherwell" paintings as the day goes on.

See you on Sunday!

Artist's Reception for Tony Renner: Photographs at Urban Eats on Sunday, July 18

T. Renner, "Wall #4," 2010, digital photograph.

Please join me for artist's reception for my exhibition "Tony Renner: Photographs" at the Urban Arts Collective at Urban Eats Cafe, 3301 Meramec, St. Louis, Missouri, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

July's exhibition is called "Walls and Openings," and I examine the textures and colors revealed through close-up photographs of the built environment. I am especially interested capturing elements of the built environment as they decay, collapse, or are torn down. I also like to juxtapose green growth with the decay of the man-made environment.

"Walls and Openings" will be on display through Sunday, July 31, and may be visited during Urban Eats' business hours.

August's exhibition is called "Rock & Roll," and September's will be "Landscapes & Skies."
