Welcome back to Filthy's blog, where artist Jeffrey Lipsky's (aka Filthy FLuno) projects and shows are chronicled semi-regularly. We took a bit of a hiatus since Jeff has a new website and updates it regularly with news. For now, we are taking another crack at this as Jeff has lots of new projects coming up.

Jeff has been painting up a storm and now offers works in a variety of sizes and media for all budgets. Works include oil and acrylic paintings, pastel and charcoal drawings and limited edition giclee prints.

Upcoming Shows:

First up will be another show at CounterpART Gallery, 128 Merrimack St in Lowell, MA .The gallery has moved upstairs and Jeff will be sharing the space with local artist Calvin Thomas for the month of October. Come on by to check out what these two are up to.

The current exhibition (up through October 31) is called "Figures and Forces." The reception will be from 7-11pm on October 25th. Please join us for another fun celebration with art, music, food, and good company. Go to the CounterpART gallery website for more details.

For you West Coast folks, Jeff's work will be featured in a show at SomArts in San Francisco.
