Fresh Art Flourishes in the Magnolia Theatre Bar

Dallas painter Jeremy Roden has a solo exhibition, entitled ONE OF MANY, at the Magnolia Bar, located inside the Magnolia Theatre in the West Village, 3699 McKinney Avenue in Dallas, from April 8 – May 20, 2004. The opening reception is Friday, April 16, 2004 from 6:30 – 8:00 PM. Admission is free. A portion of all exhibit sales goes to the Amyloidosis Research Foundation.  www.amyloidosis.org

Jeremy’s paintings are visual short stories that invite the viewer to peer into his life and childhood. Having an immense curiosity with plants, he uses color and texture to create almost child-like landscapes integrating images of Japanese maples, poppies, wheat fields and featureless houses which he says represent people. His paintings explode with painterly color as he invokes the viewer’s curiosity. The theme, ONE OF MANY, is beautifully conveyed in Jeremy’s unique style.

An accomplished artist, Jeremy received his formal art training from the School of Visual Arts at the University of North Texas, concentrating mainly in steel and bronze sculptures. Jeremy’s father died in 1998, suffering from amyloidosis, and it was this transition that compelled Jeremy to return to painting with a more patient perspective in his work. Jeremy Roden has also worked along side artists at Paramount Pictures to create the Oscar nominated film Jimmy Neutron.

The exhibition, One of Many, is curated by Dallas photographer and artist, Sarah Jane Semrad.  The Magnolia Bar will rotate fresh Dallas art every 6-7 weeks, with a portion of sales always going to charity.
