The AuSable Artisan Village Gallery is proud to present a showing of the photography of Jeff Gaydash and the sculpture of Lon Gauthier. An opening reception will be held at the Gallery at 108 Michigan Ave., Grayling MI on Friday, July 16, 5:00-7:00 p.m. There is no fee to enter the Gallery which will be open from July 17-29 on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 10:00a.m.-5:00p.m.
Jeff Gaydash has a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in photography from The College For Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. He was a partner in a commercial photographic and digital imaging studio for 6 years and is now a web developer at Wunderman Team Detroit building websites for Ford Motor Company. Jeff has recently made a conscious decision to focus more seriously on his love of fine-art black and white image making. Jeff lives in Troy, Michigan with his wife Michelle and three daughters.
Lon Gauthier’s body of work focuses primarily on mixed media sculpture that merge industrial aesthetics with the organic forms of nature. Using found objects, fabricated metal and castable materials, Gauthier’s work is an attempt to tear down the walls between nature and what is deemed “Man Made” exposing the infinite layers of connections between all things, organic and inorganic.
Gauthier left art school at the University of Montana, that houses some of his early bronzes in their permanent collection, to move to Detroit and start a working studio. While in Detroit, Lon showed his two and three dimensional work at the Majestic Café, Detroit Contemporary, Tangent Gallery and Johansen Charles Gallery. Before leaving Detroit in 2004, Gauthier was co-curator of the show “Ordinary Things”, a group show with working artists from Detroit, and Graduate students from Cranbrook, turning the mundane objects of the everyday into objects of higher meaning.
Currently Lon has work displayed at the Twisted Fish Gallery in Elk Rapids and The Inside Out Gallery in Traverse City. When not making art, Gauthier owns and operates “4 Mile Welding LLC” in Grayling Michigan, making one of a kind architectural elements and performing repair work for the community.
