I&#8217;m a huge fan of Larry and his art. He&#8217;s my go-to guy when I need a classy gift. Pam has loved every one of watercolors she has received, and they grace our walls nicely.<\/p>\n<p>Being a geographer, I fell in love with Larry&#8217;s keen eye for urban landscapes. Vernacular architecture and commonplace streetscapes &#8212; typically of the eastside variety &#8212; are infused with new meaning, new perspectives and new life thanks to Larry&#8217;s artistic vision.<\/p>\n<p>Much of his work is smaller in scale, but this installation will feature some large format works I haven&#8217;t seen yet. It should be fun. &amp; interesting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll also likely be wandering up to the various galleries along Winnebago &amp; Atwood and will likely end up at Alison Mader&#8217;s <a class=\"wpgallery\" title=\"Alison Mader's Artspace Twenty-Two Eleven\" href=\"http:\/\/aemader.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Artspace Twenty-Two Eleven<\/a> (2211 Atwood Ave.), and, of course, finally at the Harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n<p>Below is Larry&#8217;s artist description:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Large, dynamic, acrylic, contemporary landscapes on canvas, ranging in size from 72&#8243;x 60&#8243; to 36&#8243;x 48&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been influenced by Wolf Kahn, one of America&#8217;s greatest abstract expressionist landscape painters, known for his unique use of color.<\/p>\n<p>Gallery Night is Friday, May 7th, 5-9 PM at the Mermaid Cafe, 1929 Winnebego Street, Madison, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>The paintings will be at the Mermaid for a week after the show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Larry Price&#8217;s art at Mermaid Cafe for Gallery Night, May 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[175,18,52,452],"tags":[828,835,833,829,836,827,830,196,834,422,831,832],"class_list":["post-1448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-architecture","category-creative-business","category-entertainment","category-urban-designplanninggeography","tag-alison-mader","tag-artspace-twenty-two-eleven","tag-expressionist-landscape","tag-gallery-night","tag-harmony-bar","tag-larry-price","tag-madison-museum-of-conteporary-art","tag-mermaid-cafe","tag-streetscape","tag-vernacular-architecture","tag-watercolor","tag-wolf-kahn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1448"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1451,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448\/revisions\/1451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urbanthoreau.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
