“Something Old, Something New”

The art of Mark Rivard, Russ Olson, and Kyle Lunneborg

 It’s been half a decade since the art of Mark Rivard has graced the city of Minneapolis and in that time the artist has been a very busy man.  It was June of 2004 when a group of friends put on a do-it-yourself art show at the Blue Nile.  Both Mark and Russ were apart of that show and have been trying to show together ever since.  Well, the time has come; the two have partnered up with another amazing artist, Kyle Lunneborg, and will be showing once again, finally, at the one and only Gallery at Cal Surf…

 In that five years Mark has shown his art at solo exhibitions in Breckenridge, Colorado, a solo exhibition in Leuven, Belgium, a solo show at the Times Infinity Gallery in Seattle, Washington, as well as group exhibitions in Detroit, Denver, and most recently the Art Raw Gallery in New York City.  He has since started the acclaimed Rivard Art Inc., a company built around his work as a skateboard illustrator.  Mark will return home to Minneapolis to show us all what he’s been doing with his time as a professional artist.

 Russ Olson is the stuff of legends.  In that five years since their show at the Blue Nile Russ and his art have become a mainstay of the Uptown scenery.  Russ’ photography is on a level of brilliance that cannot be described in words.  Russ has spent hundreds of hours scouring the city and it’s surroundings taking a creative eye and turning a great photo into a masterpiece, he is a master of a style of photography that he and only he can achieve.  The anticipation of what new work Russ will show is almost too much to bear.

 Kyle Lunneborg has been quietly slaying the art world with his unique style of painting.  Kyle left the Uptown life a few years ago to pursue his art in the Emerald City of Seattle, WA.  Kyle’s work can only be described as nothing short of spectacular!  The creator of the infamous Paper Marbles, Kyle has been busy utilizing those dark days in the Pacific Northwest to conjure up imagery that is sure to keep you staring.  Kyle is the perfect compliment to the “Something Old, Something New” lineup as this show is sure to be remembered.

 We hope you’ll join us at the exclusive opening reception on Friday, May 1st at the Gallery At Cal Surf.  The show will open at 7pm and will run through May.
