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.
The opening party is planned for November 6th.

In December, Jeff is planning a show at The Spot on Thayer Street in Providence, RI. Check back for details on this show.

Grand Opening at CounterpART Gallery

Filthy Fluno and bunches of SL and RL friends had a great time at the Grand Opening Bash on April 26, 2008 at CounterpART Gallery in Lowell, MA. With live music from Grace Buford (SL's Cylindrian Rutabaga) and virtual live performances by DC Antonelli and Komuso Tokugawa, the show included artwork by local, national, and international (via SL) artists. We had yummy food donated by local restaurants as well as family and friends. Over 200 people attended the event throughout the evening.
Stay tuned for upcoming news and events at the CounterpART Gallery.
