Jonatan Lopez, Featured Artist www.evolvedmetal.com (512) 689-0209
HOUSTON, May 22, 2007 - Yale Street Arts Market returns to summer evening hours from on June 2 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The popular Heights art market is held on the first Saturday of each month. Featuring up to thirty eight white canopied tents and an average of fifty artists from Houston and around the state, the market is hot spot for collecting original paintings, photography, jewelry, wood and metal sculptures. Each month the market highlights a different artist. Jonatan Lopez, a metal sculptor who recently relocated to Houston from Austin is the featured artist for June 2. Born in Monterrey Mexico, Jonatan Lopez has worked as a professional artist for more than ten years. Jonatan's art work is constantly evolving as he experiments and applies his imagination to discarded metal, turning one man's junk into artistic treasures. Items tossed aside, destined to rust away are given a new life with a plasma torch as Jonatan bends and pulls his three dimensional sculptures into existence. Animals, plants and creatures of his vivid imagination represent the constant evolution of our world and civilizations. Some pieces are left in their original raw and rusty state while other pieces are brushed and buffed to shine with life. Each piece gives us a glimpse into the world as Jonatan sees it. Carrie Ann & The Apocalyptics will perform their eclectic blend of country, folk and Celtic rhythms. Carrie Ann's style reflects her varied influences ... growing up in the mid-West, learning to play music in church, being married to Houston's own roots rocker Opie Hendrix and being a mother. Its hard to pin a style on this group or Buchanans writing, but eclectic and truthful come to mind. Market favorite Duke Jones will be on hand to pluck out acoustic blues favorites too. When the musicians are on break having a look at the art, KHJZ The Wave is on hand to fill the air with their smooth jazz. Green Mountain Energy is the official music host at Yale Street Arts Market - a true mini arts festival in the Heights, come out and see what they have to offer. The arts market is located on the parking lot of Wind Water Asian Antiques Gallery at 548 W. 19th St. near many of the popular Heights restaurants. More information and a complete artist listing is available on the website www.YaleStreetMarket.com or by calling Mitch or Carolyn Cohen, 713-802-1213. Summer evening market dates: June 2, July 7, August 4 and September 1. Free admission, free parking |
