Hunter-Wolff Gallery Opens Exhibit At Gertrudes Restaurant

HUNTER-WOLFF GALLERY OPENS EXHIBT AT GERTRUDE’S RESTAURANT
March, 2008
Colorado Springs, CO – In collaboration with Hunter-Wolff Gallery, 2510 W. Colorado Avenue, Gertrude’s Restaurant is exhibiting a special collection of artwork by Colorado Springs Artist Janelle Cox. Cox has been one of the premiere artists at the gallery for the past two and half years.
Amid the aroma of exquisite cuisine and the soft hum of chatter, patrons of Gertrude’s Restaurant, in Old Colorado City, seem to enjoy not only the dining experience, but linger longer to appreciate the beautiful, original artwork.
Gertrude’s was acquired about recently by Tom Lazaron and he requested the assistance of Hunter-Wolff Gallery to make the artwork change happen smoothly. His goal for an exhibit is to provide his patrons with quality artwork and quality food for a pleasant and memorable experience. “I just want to combine those two things for my discerning clientele,” says Tom Lazaron. “The new art is beautiful and inviting. This collection suits my patrons and what I am trying to achieve at the restaurant.”
The paintings were inspired by some of Colorado’s most beautiful landscape and recent international travels by the artist. Cox paints on any size canvas including large scale and varies her color palette according to mood, chooses a wide range of subject matter from still life to cityscapes and everything in between, typically ranging from $350 to $5,000.
The process to have an ongoing exhibit at the restaurant was a breeze to setup, largely due to the gallery’s ability to coordinate all aspects including coordinating the colors, textures, vistas and hanging of each piece. “I simply made a call to Sharon Wolff, the owner of Hunter-Wolff Gallery, and she took care of everything. It was like magic!” Tom Lazaron says he personally enjoys good wine, good food and good artwork. “I think we have a winning combination here.” He plans to continue to offer all three for a long time in his restaurant.
Make your reservations now and check out the great artwork. You may even run into the artist if you are lucky! Bon Appetit!
