“Step Right Up!”
I just meet Michigan artist John Gutoskey, who does these wonderfully creative assemblages using found objects, antiques and ephemera. Having worked on stage and film he calls these assemblages his personal “magic theater”. If you love cinema you will enjoy these small wonderous worlds. His work will be on exhibit at the at Gallery 50 the month of August.

John has drawn inspiration from Joseph Cornell (1903-72) an American sculptor and one of the pioneers and most celebrated exponent of assemblages .
