Behind the Smile

GUNNZO is excited to present the "two-faced show”, a group exhibit centered around individual artist’s interpretation of what it is to be two-faced. We’ll be introducing a collection of both 2D and 3D works, including custom sculpted and painted "Two-Faced Hazel" vinyl toys, along with a range of multi-dimensional paintings and drawings by more than 40 artists from all over the world. Come and gaze into their mysterious hidden faces, then, perhaps meet some of the artists behind them at the opening reception on Saturday, October 13th from 5-9pm. Enjoy an evening of art, tacos and desserts. Including ice cream provided by Seaport Village Ben & Jerry’s. To sign up for the preview list, email show@gunnzo.com please include ‘two-faced preview list’ in the subject line. Online sales start on gunnzo.com 10/13 after the opening reception. Running October 13th to November 1st 2012 Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.
