Headstone is proud to announce the solo exhibition, Eye Message, by Tim Wehrle. This is Tim’s ninth solo exhibition and his first show with the gallery. He presents 16 works on both paper and fabric - combinations of his infamous, detailed colored pencil drawings and a few collage works built upon Hane’s undershirts, with whittled, painted sticks and watercolor applique. Wehrle’s World is expansive as it is devastatingly hilarious, full of cheeky innuendos coupled with heartfelt revelations; it is as if we are on the subliminal receiving end of his life learnings - echoes that are as gentle as they are sharp.

Join us for the Opening Reception NEXT Saturday, June 6th, 5-8pm. Tim will be there indeed ❤️

Born in Burlington, Iowa in 1978, Tim Wehrle is a Iowa/New York based artist that earned his B.A. degree at Bard College and is currently an upcoming MFA student at The University Of
Iowa. Wehrle has shown work at Cavin-Morris Gallery, NY, NY, Shrine Gallery, NY, NY, PPOW Gallery, NY, NY Ronald Feldman Gallery, NY, NY Adam Baumgold Gallery, NY, NY and Stellar Highway Gallery, BKLYN, NY. Notable Collections are: American Folk Art Museum NY, NY, Audrey B. Heckler Collection, NY, NY, Des Moines Contemporary Art Center, IA, Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth, Hanover, NH, John Micheal Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, WI, and FRAC Picardie, Amiens, France.

In Eye Message, Wehrle focuses on communication and connectivity to the self and the unconscious path to decision making in a world gone wrong. Communication from the physical to the technological, Wehrle explores the tribulations of naked honesty coming into contact with the creation of the masked diabolical character persona often used in messaging and online activities. Eye Message also touches on childhood trauma, desire and underlying paranoia living in the current America.

If you are in Denver, you must go check out Gallery Artist, Judd Schiffman’s solo exhibition, Ask the Dust, at David B. Smith Gallery on view until June 27th.

Throughout Ask the Dust, complex concepts are communicated through unassuming imagery, often with a nod to the domestic.
Sun in My Heart depicts a vase brimming with colorful flowers in full bloom and teeming with critters, including a happy snail and a mini Mothman (a stand-in for the artist). Between vibrant, rippled petals and glinting gold accents, life is captured at its peak; decay is imminent and, indeed, implied by its apex. For Schiffman, this work references the complexities of masculinity and the heart of the self as evolving and necessitating care.

The primary inspiration for Schiffman’s unconventional ceramic compositions stems from life, including his experiences with
fatherhood, spiritual practice, relationship to nature, and a deep intimacy with the people in his life. Acutely personal and rife
with big questions, Schiffman’s own narrative becomes a space for viewer and artist to exchange, resulting in simultaneously
bold and heartfelt works. The personal reverberates outward, as Schiffman’s artistic conversations join into a larger cultural
narrative focusing on healing our inner worlds as a means to individual and societal growth. Through his sculpture, Schiffman
has developed both a visual language and material landscape to explore, connect, and seek. In Judd Schiffman’s Ask the
Dust, the personal is teased out in dreamlike sequences, fluid in content and solidly grounded in materiality.

Gallery Artist, Judd Schiffman, opens his solo exhibition, Ask the Dust, in Denver TONIGHT, 6-8pm MST, at David B. Smith Gallery. Congratulations to you, Judd!!

David B. Smith Gallery is proud to present Ask The Dust, a solo exhibition by Providence, RI-based artist Judd Schiffman. Featuring a series of Schiffman’s “outlines”—his distinctive wallmounted ceramic sculpture with ceramic borders enclosing rich low-relief imagery—Ask The Dust populates the Main Gallery with
ruminations on the nature of the self. In Ask the Dust, Schiffman blends fantastical imagery inspired by literature and geography with that of nature. The exhibition borrows its title from a 1939 novel of the same name by Colorado-based author John Fante (1909–1983), which describes a young male protagonist struggling with his masculinity and delusions
of grandeur, avoiding his underlying cowardice. By referencing this novel, Schiffman considers his own relationship to spiritual practice and his personal journey of self-discovery, aging, and acceptance. Connection to nature, a throughline in the exhibition, traces its origin to a decade of Schiffman’s life spent in the
Southwest. Now exhibiting in Denver, Colorado, back in a biome that holds special meaning, the significance of place moves to the
forefront. A distinct approach to material and method are among the standout elements of Schiffman’s work. Truly unique in form,
Schiffman’s ornately glazed stoneware wall tile arrangements are heavily informed by his drawing practice. Through layers of
colored glaze, low-relief ceramic tiles depict figures, flora and fauna, and objects, carrying narratives that speak to the artist’s lived experience and ongoing inquiries. Disarmingly loose in his renderings yet intricately designed and executed, works possess a stylized, illustrative quality met with a mastery of ceramic craftsmanship.
