Southern Folk Art featuring Ab The Flagman Show now open >> OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday June 7, 2007 - 6pm-8pm OPEN DAILY: Wednesday thru Saturday 11am-5pm CLOSING: Saturday June 30, 2007 WHERE: Garde Rail Gallery - 110 Third Avenue South - Tel.206.621.1055 Ab The Flagman was discovered outside Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium, selling his flags to baseball fans and passersby. An art dealer spotted him and Ab hasn't looked back since. Born Roger Lee Ivens in 1964 near Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, Ab sculpts flags and other scenes and images from furniture scraps and found objects. Given the nickname "Abstract" as a kid, Ab's fascination with the US flag comes from his military father's funeral, where Ab was a young boy, viewing the flag draped over his father's coffin. Working in a furniture factory, Ab would build his flags at night, taking pieces from the scrap heap and amassing them into flags, large and small. Ab's modern-primitive folk art is often derived from discarded objects found in abandoned, once burgeoning, mills and factories. Over the last ten years, Ab the Flagman has become a nationally celebrated and collected folk artist whose work appears in major collections across the country. Also on show: folk art classics from Alabama mud painter Jimmy Lee Sudduth, paintings by Alabama's Annie Tolliver (daughter of Mose Tolliver), and works from the late RA Miller of Gainesville, GA.
