Colfax Block Art Party! Come Check it! – Groundswell Gallery and The Shoppe at Colfax and St. Paul
It’s a Block Party
The Shoppe is throwing it down this month so you better be prepared. I seriously advise you to join us Saturday, October 12th for the best and most bad-ass little block party in Denver this month. Party starts at 5pm and goes till midnight! Here, let me break it down for you:

We’ll be having a bunch of For Real talented people doing Live Painting; creating art on the spot for you to enjoy, to be inspired by and, well, to watch the artistic process evolve in front of your very living eyeballs. To put a cherry on top of all that art energy, our very own in-house artist Ms. Cea will be having a brand spanking new Art Show set up all month on our west-side white walls. Moon Cut Moon is a collection of Gothic Fairy Tales, happy/dark paintings guaranteed to change your idea of the Three Little Pigs forever. Ms. Cea Keyzer has been slavin’ away to get ready for this day and she is the Real Deal so you will not be disappointed.

GroundSwell Gallery presents…
Corvo Brothers: MORTE
10.12.13 – 11.2.13

ARTIST RECEPTION: SATURDAY 10.12.13
7-10pm
3121 E. Colfax Ave

Since coming together in 2004, the Corvo Brothers have used and misused the manipulative technologies of mass media to chart the realm of the uncanny. Their digitally sculpted composite photographs conjure unexpectedly painterly visions suffused with dread, myth and metamorphosis. Meticulous staging and traditional composition contend with ambiguous stories and darkly comic symbols – worlds apart yet uncomfortably familiar.

It is no surprise, then, that over the years the Corvo Brothers have created diverse images that incorporate into their mystierious narratives ritualistic representations of and responses to death. The dark stillness of a floating figure frozen in the murkiness of the tintype appears to be an unconventional death portrait. In semi-serious mythic scenes , children seem to be gods who transform the body into a passive receptacle. In their hands, the inevitable becomes unconventional.
