joewaks.com presents:
A Kwalité Retrospective
(#@$& OLD AND NEW)
Dear friends, art enthusiasts and otherwise,
Hope you are doing well as April melds into May; the Yankees are playing some inspired baseball and the Wall Street robber barons get paraded before some grandstanding congressional committee. Ah, the rites of spring.
It’s been some time since I have penned (well, typed) a missive to tell y’all about my latest artistic endeavor and begging you to come see it. Well, you thought you may have escaped, but alas, I will soon be having my biggest (and hopefully bestest) show to date -- joewaks.com: A Kwalité Retrospective (#@$& OLD AND NEW). If you are now uttering to yourself, “a friggin’ retrospective?” you’re not alone. To wit:
“Waks is hardly deserving of a retrospective, let alone a table in the corner at a ‘starving artists’ sale at one of those sleazy motels that rent rooms by the hour on Routes 1 and 9 in Elizabeth,” said Warburton Z. Pfeiffer, Visiting Distinguished Professor of 20th Century Art at the University of Hawaii-Hilo. “He nevertheless is embracing this opportunity to spread his special brand of cockeyed optimism to a public starving for pork rinds and some good ol’ Jersey-brand common sense.”
Seriously though, I am going have some of my greatest hits, including some golden oldies, plus there is going to be a whole heapin’ helpin’ of new paintings, which I am still in the process of completing, plus a few surprises. We are also going have an awesome funk/fusion/jam band from Vermont called Twiddle. They are off the hook.
The show is at a brandy-dandy, wonderful new gallery in Newark called the Solo(s) Project House, established by my pal Becca Jampol, and you going to love it. The opening is on Friday, May 28 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and the show will run until July 5. I know all you shore people are going to be anxious to sit in horrendous traffic on the Parkway that evening, so come on down, see my show, have a few refreshing beverages, buy two or three of my paintings and start your Memorial Day weekend on Saturday instead.
As always, hearty thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement.
