Dalet Gallery

Out of all the stops I made this first Friday, I liked Dalet Art Gallery the best. As I explained to my wife, I like art to be edgy. I find art that doesn’t cause controversy boring.
I loved this gallery. The inside space unique and beautiful.
The majority of the paintings displayed that night were in testament to the female form and were all very well done.
I ESPECIALLY liked the beautiful topless girl (painted) displaying herself in the back of the gallery. She was beautiful… and super edgy.

When we were on the way to the Clay Studio to top of our arts crawl my crew and I noticed another new gallery, so naturally we stopped in to check it out. To be honest I liked I liked the space itself (and the food spread) better than the art. But at least it kept it ecletic.
Dalet had a good balance between paintings and photography which could be great down the line. The theme of the exhibit was «The Scent Of A Woman», But even though it was a theme that McThrill is usually guilty of being quite fond of, the art in itself. When I scoped out the featured painter the work struck me as being familiar, and it turned out it used to be one of my favorite artists who used to own his own gallery at least 5 years ago. Either my tastes have evoled as I’ve gotten more seasoned to the crawl, or his style as dwindled (I’m going with a little of each), because his style just didn’t grab me as much as it used to. The Photographer they featured was pretty uninteresting. Their work featured the juxtaposition between a mannequin and a live model who were sporting the same clothing and spread out in the same backyard. It didn’t grab me per say, but at least it inspired me to do something similar while utilizing the juxtaposition between Aaron O. and Domokun (
)
Art aside the space itself was pretty impressive. It was pretty huge and spread out, leaving room for plenty of art. They had one back room that served as a sitting lounge, and another that hooked up an epic cheese filled food spread. So it can definitely house a lot of potential, especially since this was just the first exhibit.
*Epic side rant of the the last two new reviews* what’s with new Art Galleries skimping out on their web design? I complained about Salt doing it, and it looks like Dalet isn’t any different. At least Salt had a little bit of information though, while Dalet’s page is just very purple.
