    Rowe GallerySedona AZ (November 24, 2021) – Many painters will tell you color and light play big roles in their artwork, but for sculptors and jewelers, it’s all about form. Rowe Fine Art Gallery celebrates all shapes and sizes in December with Good Form: Sculpture and Wearable Art. The show opens Friday, December 3, at 4 p.m., and continues through the month, giving you ample time to finish – or start! – your holiday shopping.

    What can art lovers expect to discover in December? The latest pendant in always-popular jeweler Liam Herbert’s Peace collection features a figure holding a peace symbol with the word “love” carved into its gown. A sketch he submitted to the City of Sedona as a potential sculpture for one of the town’s roundabouts sparked the idea for the pendant, which Liam calls Love Pendant for World Peace.

    “The new pendant emphasizes unconditional peace and love on Earth,” says Liam. “We truly need unconditional peace and love in the world, now more than ever. My recent wearable sculpture, holding the peace symbol, represents all of us on this planet.”

    Prescott sculptor Joel Petersen will debut Coop, which might just be the gallery’s first-ever rooster sculpture. The petite bronze is only six inches tall and five inches wide, and it comes on either a metal or wood base or without a base at all. Joel says he’s raised chickens for many years. His grandchildren frequently enter them into the county fair, which is what inspired Coop. “And I always have fresh eggs,” he says with a smile.

    Sedona’s very own Basket Lady, Shirley Eichten Albrecht, also has a few surprises up her sleeve. She will unveil Timeless, a sculpted canteen gourd with a magnificent geode at its center. The top of the piece is woven with dyed rattan reed and copper with accents of copper jingles, beads and yarn. An as-yet-titled piece will also be revealed at the show. Shirley offered a sneak peek of that work in progress a few weeks ago. Picture a spider web of woven colors, and you can imagine the excitement around this sculpture.

    Shirley will also show a new woven necklace titled Yin and Yang that features brilliant shades of purple. “When weaving my necklaces, I first choose a color palette,” explains the artist. “With Yin and Yang, that palette was various shades of purple. I always equate the color with a sense of calm, but it also represents wisdom and spirituality. With that in mind, I began a tapestry weave of undulating hills and valleys using waxed linen, yarn and wire, all woven on cedar spokes. It put me in a state of Zen, which guides the weaving. I have always said that I am an intuitive weaver, and this piece is the epitome of that process.”  

    Bronze sculptors Ken Rowe and Joshua Tobey have also recently introduced new works that will be on display during this show.

    Ken and Monica Rowe and the entire Rowe Fine Art Gallery family of associates and artists wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. The gallery looks forward to celebrating the season with its collectors and artists during Good Form: Sculpture and Wearable Art.

    Rowe Fine Art Gallery represents traditional and contemporary southwestern artists. The gallery, located under the bell tower in Patio de las Campanas at Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, is open Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  For more information, call 928-282-8877, visit rowegallery.com, or find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
