PUBLISHER’S LETTER IT’S SOMEWHAT SURREAL FOR ME PERSONALLY THAT IT IS the one-year anniversary of Southlake Arts Magazine. Being at the center of all of the artistic activity that is happening around our bubble is nothing short of riding a tornado. The experience every month has me energized, overwhelmed, amazed, inspired, proud and humbled with the work and people we have in our community. My only regret is that we are limited in the scope we have to share with you. So many stories have to go by the wayside simply because there isn’t enough room to fit everything in. Fortunately, more and more people who care about improving the culture in our community are rallying to support and share the magazine.

The beautiful upstairs was cleared to make way as students sang, danced and played a variety of styles to the delight of the audience (standing room only), who were treated to wine and appetizers. Also on display were a selection of artwork by local Art House students and teachers. Made possible by Morgan Stanley, il Calabrese, DFW-PAC, Art House, HMPS and Southlake Arts.

FERNAND LÉGER’S GRAND TOURNESOL (LA FLEUR POLYCHROME) at Heritage Auctions “This auction is, in fact, a very important survey of art history,” said Frank Hettig, Director of Modern & Contemporary Art at Heritage. “From Pablo Picasso’s early engraving to a wide survey of work by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, collectors are presented with masterpieces from every era and style.” Leger’s Grand Tournesol (La Fleur Polychrome), a grand sculpture that captures the artist’s awareness of architectural space and the urban landscape, is offered in situ at the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal in Montreal, Canada, as are three additional sculptures: Hommage à Eiffel, circa 1989, by César (est. $200,000+); Jim Dine’s Three Hearts on the Rocks, 2002 (est. $300,000+); and Conversation IV, 2007, by Jaume Plensa (est. $100,000+). Le Repas Frugal (from La Suite des Saltimbanques), 1904 by Pablo Picasso (est. $100,000) is recognized as a technical achievement. Printed from the edition of 250 by Ambroise Vollard, the work is one of the most indelible images of his long and influential artistic career, despite the fact it was created when Picasso was just 22 years old. The auction includes a mini-retrospective of American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, beginning with Water Lilies with Cloud, 1992 (est. $150,000+) and Water Lilies Blue Lily Pads, 1992 (est. $100,000+). Nearly 50 works celebrate the artist’s unique perspective on stylistic appropriation, composition, and graphic simplicity, such as View from the Window, 1985 (est. $80,000+); Sweet Dreams, Baby! (from 11 Pop Artists Portfolio), 1965 (est. $70,000+); and La Sortie, 1990 (est. $40,000+). To browse the auction visit HA.com.

by LAMBERTO™ t was a little more than one year ago when I got a call from David Hall, Publisher of Southlake Arts Magazine, to discuss the idea of starting a magazine that would showcase the Arts in Southlake, the surrounding areas, and the Metroplex as a whole. At the time, I felt it was an intriguing idea, as we are living in a time and place where Art is being created in so many forms: conceptual painting, sculpture, acting, dancing, photography, and just about anything creative. We chatted at great length about all the possibilities and decided it was a winner. So, shortly thereafter, the gears were put into motion, and the dream became a reality. Southlake Arts Magazine made its debut in November 2013 and was embraced by the community, which welcomed a breath of fresh air from the publication world.
As for myself, I have been an artist my entire career. Many years ago, I was advised by an art director at Time magazine who, upon looking at my portfolio, thought I had too many styles and worked in too much diversity of media. She told me: “Lamberto, go out and choose one style and do that for the rest of your life, then come see me again.” Imagine that! I left that office with a strong conviction to follow my heart and not her advice, and that literally changed my life. I have created artwork “without limits” with just about anything I can get my hands on. David sensed that upon seeing my work in my studio, and he welcomed my diversity with open arms. My work has been featured in Southlake Arts, including my canvas paintings, scratchboard, concrete, wood, metal, and digital paintings, and the scope has ranged from figurative to abstract, from humorous to pensive.
What makes David and Southlake Arts a unique forum for people like me, and other creative individuals, is that it reflects art in all its forms, and it showcases artists from all walks of life and ages. Each issue of Southlake Arts Magazine is definitely a treasure that is worth keeping in your collection. We are truly fortunate to have a publication that records and preserves the spirit of the visual and performing arts in all its different colors. Happy Anniversary Southlake Arts Magazine!

The Nasher Sculpture Center is pleased to present Provocations: The Architecture and Design of Heatherwick Studio from September 13, 2014 to January 4, 2015. This represents the first major museum exhibition of the work of Thomas Heatherwick and his studio in North America. “Following presentations of the work of Renzo Piano and Foster + Partners, the Nasher Sculpture Center is especially pleased to extend its series of architecture and design exhibitions with Provocations: The Architecture and Design of Heatherwick Studio,” said Nasher Director Jeremy Strick. “Thomas Heatherwick’s distinctive work speaks to a unique approach; one in which innovations in form and function emerge synergistically from innovations in the way things are made. The sculptural appearance of many of his buildings and design objects springs from the concern for the process of making. This extends to the design of the exhibition itself, developed by the Heatherwick Studio. The result will be an exhibition at once dazzling, instructive, and provoking.” British designer Thomas Heatherwick has been hailed as a genius, lauded by The New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger for the uniquely inventive nature of his work, and praised by esteemed designer Sir Terence Conran as the “Leonardo da Vinci of our times.” This exhibition, the first North American presentation by a museum of the work of

Heatherwick and his studio, examines the astonishing range of Heatherwick Studio’s practice by focusing on the design concepts behind early projects such as the handbag designed for Longchamp and the rotation-molded “Spun” chairs, as well as current large architectural projects in the U.K, South Africa, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, and China. Included will be such projects as the U.K. Pavilion - known as the Seed Cathedral - at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo; a distillery and visitor center for Bombay Sapphire Gin in Hampshire, England; a teaching building at Nanyang Technical University, Singapore; and a mixed-use complex in Shanghai. The studio’s design of the New Bus for London recently took to the streets of the British capital, and the ceremonial lighting of its cauldron designed for the London 2012 Olympic Games was broadcast worldwide, bringing the studio to the attention of a much wider public. southlake ARTS

DESIGN
Heatherwick Studio is recognized for its highly inventive approach to design, often combining novel engineering with new materials and innovative technology to create unusual, often sculptural, building forms. The project that first garnered Heatherwick international recognition was the Rolling Bridge near London’s Paddington Station. Asked to design a bridge to span a small channel through which boats pass, Heatherwick realized that most drawbridges are unattractive when raised. Wanting the bridge to be as beautiful when spanning the channel as when raised for water traffic, he designed a unique mechanized structure that rolls up into a circular snail-like form. Organized by guest curator Brooke Hodge for the Nasher Sculpture Center, the exhibition will include prototypes, largescale models, objects, photographs, and film and video footage for a selection of projects.

Southlake artist Michele Catino is a person of many worlds. While she has worked in multiple positions in the world of corporate America – e-Commerce, defense, and technology firms - for over 20 years, Michele now connects with her artistic passion and formal Binghamton University art training in the art world. Michele has been working in multiple traditional art mediums her entire life, but most recently, her “canvases” for artistic expression include fabric, pillows, tote bags, accessories, phone cases and more. Ms. Catino prints her artistic images on these textile products. Michele combines her technical skills in digital photography and post-processing with her artistic talent to create usable works of art. “My inspiration to create digital photo artistry stems from the diverse colors, patterns, and textures created in nature that may go unnoticed by others. I enjoy the challenge of finding this natural beauty and then presenting it for others to use and enjoy.” Michele takes many of her photographs on hikes in the pastures, fields and the surroundings of Southlake parks and Grapevine Lake. Some of her favorite subject matter for her printed images includes trees, birds, water, sky and even rust. Hundreds of Michele’s varied photographic works and home goods have been shipped worldwide and are offered on her CatinoCreations shop on Etsy.com. Michele is now is bringing the technology and manufacturing capability available to her to other
professional and amateur photographers and artists. Working with her husband Bob, an entrepreneur and private investor, the Southlake couple launched a website, DIGICOLORCREATIONS.com, to enable creative individuals to build upon Michele’s groundbreaking work over the last two years. Through the website, members can create their own custom-made, printed artistic products using their own images. Mr. Catino views DigiColorCreations.com as an “artistic content enabler.” Catino says, “DigiColorCreations.com is a web-based outlet for creative individuals and professionals to express themselves. It is part of an emerging trend. Consider GoPro: It is looking at an explosion of growth, but the output of GoPro is generally limited to video clips. DigiColorCreations.com offers a wide variety of items for individuals to customize and to express themselves artistically.” Through their streamlined manufacturing relationships, the couple is pleased to offer a webbased service for creator-designed products to members of DigiColorCreations.com. “These products are custom made in the United States and many products have been offered on Etsy for two years now, so I am confident about the quality and timeliness of delivery of the manufactured goods,” Michele says. “I am passionate about producing these artistic products and thrilled to offer my ‘usable art’ on my website and on Etsy.com and I am glad to offer a creative experience for others to share in.” southlake ARTS

Photography by Bruce Rosensteil
Vancouver is a great place to take a break from the summer heat in Texas. The city’s spectacular location, mild weather, and wide variety of activity options offer something for every traveler. Stroll or cycle along Vancouver’s extensive shoreline boardwalk, explore beautiful gardens, and enjoy outdoor art installations. Spend a day at Stanley Park, the Aquarium, the Museum of Anthropology or Granville Island. Browse stunning galleries featuring fine crafts and contemporary and First Nations art and artifacts. The surprisingly compact downtown is easy and rewarding to explore on foot. An impressive and affordable public transportation system makes destinations a bit beyond the heart of downtown equally accessible. Vancouver is also a mecca for foodies and seems to have more farm-totable, Asian, and other ethnic restaurants in one block than in any comparable block in most cities. In one great day you can have breakfast at a Chinatown bakery, visit the Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, savor a fortifying cup of coffee and artisan chocolate from East Van Roasters in Gastown before exploring the shops and galleries. Then enjoy a sumptuous sushi lunch in Yaletown, visit the Bill Reid Gallery, tuck into a French or Transylvanian pastry, listen to live music by the beach, and dine on fresh salmon while watching the sun set in English Bay.

The Grapevine Art Project (GAP) hosted its 6th annual fall art show and sale at Grapevine’s historic Palace Arts Center, October 17th and 18th. Several hundred art lovers attended the Friday evening reception that featured live music, wine, and refreshments. The twenty-five participating artists displayed their paintings, jewelry, pottery, woven textiles, sculpted glass, photographs, and more.

DANCE
HOLIDAY CELEBRATION Avant Chamber Ballet A stripped-down, yet immediately recognizable solo piano rendition of Tchaikovsky’s “Sugar Plum Fairy,” fills the studio where Avant Chamber Ballet rehearses. With live accompaniment, the company prepares to tackle yet another ballet company staple with their presentation of “Holiday Celebration,” November 20 at White’s Chapel Methodist Church in Southlake, presented by Apex Arts League. “Everyone wants their offering to have something special and different,” said Artistic Director Katie Puder. “Instead of embellishing our production, we took a minimalist approach to make our mark by presenting everyone’s favorite sections of the Nutcracker.” Fresh off their successful run of “Carnival of Animals,” Avant Chamber Ballet is further establishing their position at the forefront of Dallas dance through their commitment to combining dance with live music, topped with an ever tasteful presentation. “Simplicity seems to be the best policy for Avant Chamber Ballet, and that artistic choice has given dance what it sorely needs these days,” said Theater Jones’ Cheryl Callon in her review of last month’s production. “In foregoing the lavish (and expensive) displays typical of ballets, they’re able to focus on consistently bringing live music to the dancing stage, even if on a small scale.” The evening consists of two ballets, “Nutcracker: Short and Suite” and “Sleigh Ride.” Internationally acclaimed pianist Konstantyn Travinsky will provide the only accompaniment for the selected Nutcracker

pieces for which Puder has choreographed all new movement. “Sleigh Ride” is a more jaunty collection of works performed by ACB’s Music Director David Cooper’s brass quintet, Bishop Arts Brass, with Cooper on the French horn, Steve Peterson on trombone, Clay Garrett on tuba and Kyle Sherman and Cody McClarty playing trumpet. This year, ACB is comprised of 18 dancers, up from 15 last season, from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, a choice Puder said she made deliberately, to create a group of dancers who dance together beautifully but who possess individual strengths. Their already full season continues to grow, with more and more encore bookings. “The support has been almost staggering,” said Puder. “Both from inside the dance community and outside, people really seem to respond to the combination of chamber music and dance.”

by Master Artist Shereen Miller Ph. D
In 1986, the world celebrated the International Year of Peace sponsored by the United Nations. The London-based Coordinating Committee had achieved its goal and collected one million minutes of peace from nations around the world through various projects devoted to the cause. In the meantime, they searched for an artist to commemorate this international event and to create a new peace symbol at the turn of the 21st century. Fine Art is not a subjective regurgitation of egoistic impulses. As the selected artist, I felt an enormous responsibility. I did not want a flamboyant expression of art that congested every inch of the canvas with meaningless motifs but rather a soulful expression of peace within a timeless space, based on profound simplicity. In other words, a visual composition aimed to create at least one moment of peace within the heart of every viewer. Before I picked up my paint brushes I prayed for guidance knowing that visual images are more powerful than the spoken or written word that either enhances the continuums of life or is destructive to its cause. In the execution of the Peace Painting, many subtle influences came into play; a mystical union transpired between the physical and non-physical dimensions of space, time, matter and motion. The apo-anamorphic dove was mathematically dissimulated in such a way as to form a protective
covering over the world. It carries on its wing the soul of humanity within the archetypal circular form, toward the flame of eternity, as a new page turns in human consciousness. Both the canvas composition and the reflected cylindrical image were carefully synchronized to embrace the aesthetic principles within two simultaneous vertical and horizontal viewing levels. I had employed the sfumato and chiaroscuro techniques of the Renaissance Masters using oil paints as the medium. The Closing Ceremony of the 1986 International Year of Peace was held at London’s historic Saint Paul’s Cathedral. It was the first time in its 400 years of history that a contemporary work of Fine Art was exhibited within its hallowed walls. The Peace Painting subsequently traveled to the East and was exhibited at India’s National Gallery of Modern Art breaking another historic record as the first contemporary art exhibition and for a period of six months [1987-1988]. In America, selected as the sole Featured Artist in major Collective Art Exhibitions at the state level [Dallas 1991], national level [Irving 1990] and international level [Las Vegas 1995], the Peace Painting continued its silent journey deep into the ethos of life, elevating the human spirit beyond the boundaries of space and time, seeking the alchemy of peace. southlake ARTS

As a part of the celebration of Southlake Arts’ first anniversary, Wendy O’Hearn sat down for a brief conversation with Brian Guilliaux, the artist that created our first cover in November 2013.
WO - It has been one year since we featured your art on our very first cover, and now we have come full circle. It appears that you have been painting quite a bit recently. How are these paintings different from what you have done in the past?
very inspired and driven to do so. Perhaps one could say that there is a great deal of beautiful chaos in my soul and I have discovered creative ways to letting it out...

WO - So Brian, Where did you go to school? BG - That’s a very interesting question because the painting on your first issue last year was what i consider my first “real” painting. Her name was Simone and she inspired me beyond words, therefore I needed to discover a way to express how she made me feel…it seemed that the movement of paint on a canvas was the obvious choice. WO - You are known to be, first and foremost, a photographer. These paintings seem to be very personal, just like a lot of your photography that we have seen. How do you define the line between Art as Therapy and Art for Consumption, or do you? BG - Art, creativity in itself, is therapeutic for the creator. All of these paintings are extremely personal to me! I have created 22 paintings this month alone and they are all of women that are so very important to me for different reasons. As for defining the line, I don’t think about it often. I create art, whether it be a painting, a piece of music or a photograph, because I am
BG - I graduated from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas. I was in the Dance dept. and then went on to North Carolina School of the Arts to study Classical and Contemporary Ballet. WO - Do you come from a family of artists? BG - Yes I do. My mother was an amazing songwriter and I am most proud of my sister Debra Fox. She is a brilliant artist! She uses alternative, almost primitive, methods of photography to create art like you have never seen before. You can see her work at www.DEBRAFOX.net. Trust me, it is beyond unique. WO - Since you revealed that all of your paintings are of certain women that are an important part of your life, I must ask, who is next? BG - I am having a very difficult time with approaching this next painting. It will be of my mother when she was a teenager. She is
no longer with us, so this work will be deeply personal and emotional, yet necessary. I will always continue to celebrate her beauty. WO - As we look at this past year, we can see your evolution in your creative process. Is there anything that you can share with other artists out there as far as them harnessing and expressing what they feel inside? BG - Live out Loud and Fall in Love Everyday!

FOOD
Early in the last century, there was a great demand for beef. It was on every menu in every part of this country. In the Northeast, it was a staple of the German immigrants that settled in the region. In Buffalo, New York one such German immigrant created a sandwich called the ‘Beef on Weck’ - a very simple sandwich of roasted beef, sliced thin and placed on a special roll with horseradish. Sounds simple until you look at all of the parts. He used a steamship round which is a huge portion of meat with simple seasonings, salt and pepper. The drippings from the sandwich were set aside to make an au jus to dip the sandwich in or just to pour over the meat. The horseradish they used was not the horseradish we know today. Today’s horseradish is diluted to a twentieth of the horseradish back then. The key element to the sandwich is the roll, the kummelweck. The roll is a kaiser roll with caraway seeds and kosher salt on top. Such a simple sandwich.
I would never insult someone from Buffalo by saying I make an authentic ‘Beef on Weck’, so for us we ‘Weinbergerized’ the sandwich. The bread is everything it was a hundred years ago: a fresh baked Kaiser with kosher salt and caraway seeds, slightly toasted. We take the roast beef and dip it in its drippings to give the sandwich its rich flavor. We looked for an old fashioned horseradish to get as much heat as we could. That’s where the similarity ends. We add a thin, rich ribbon of mayonnaise, thin slices of red onion, and a couple of slices of kosher dill, all covered with the top of the roll - layers of savory, heat, cream, sharpness and salt. The caraway and salt add a licorice flavor. The sum total of the flavors: indescribable. A century-old sandwich with a current flair. For us, it is known as ‘THE WICKED’

BEER/WINE/CHEESE
MAREDSOUS BRUNE �ABBEY DUBBEL� The Maredsous Abbey stands for values such as patience, devotion and hospitality. Those values still live on in the beers they brew. The Maredsous beers represent the rich Benedictine tradition! Maredsous ales stand out because of their refined flowery-fruity aroma and delicate sparkle. The ale undergoes natural refermentation in the bottle, meaning the beer matures further in the bottle. The Brune (brown beer) was originally only brewed for Christmas, but over the centuries it became a force to be reckoned with. Maredsous Brune (8%) has a creamy foam, dark, burgundy color, and is easily recognizable by its expressive aroma bouquet. A generous caramel bouquet is completed with masterly fruity touches
