ArgeArt & ARTvision: Let Drag Queens Rejoice
“Drag Queen Rejoicing” could be the title of the collection Jon Arge is offering for ARTvision-6: “restoreARTive: creative therapy.” Named Best Local Artist by readers of GA Voice in 2010, Jon is found frequently bucking trends and busting preconceived notions - and that includes our custom-framed photos of drag queens like “DisFunksha.”As he told Mike Fleming in a profile of Jon in Project Q Atlanta last year:
“My art consists of everything I’ve shoved in my eyes since birth, and it’s all in my head mingling around like a cocktail party. I’m just the host,” he explains. “There are a billion different themes that can get it on in a billion different ways, and when a piece is ready, it simply reveals itself to me. I go to work on it, and while I’m doing so, the piece then reveals even more about itself along the way.”
Buyers/donors: get an Arge original of an off-beat but totally stylish drag queen and it will create an instant conversation piece for your home. Plus, you’ll support a terrific cause in the process.
This year we are offering multiple Arge pieces - small and large - so you’ll have to join us next Thursday evening to be some of the lucky ones to get these last remaining in the series. (inquire about pricing & pieces)
