    Donny Smutz is an up-and-coming surrealist artist who recently joined an exclusive representation agreement with Tinney Contemporary. Smutz, who lives in Nashville, has already had solo shows in Los Angeles, Nashville, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Smutz's artwork is known for courting controversy: at a 2008 exhibition in Nashville, a painting of his was slashed with a box-cutter by someone who thought his work was blasphemous.

    Smutz's latest controversial painting titled .gov is a large acrylic-on-canvas depiction of President Barack Obama hanging on a cross while being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey and being offered a cheeseburger by Ronald McDonald. This painting will make its debut on the opening night of Smutz's five-week Tinney Contemporary engagement, which is during the Downtown Art Crawl June 6. This painting, due to its sensitive nature and seamless combination of the sacred, profane and popular, will be protected by a private security guard at the exhibition.

    Tinney Contemporary is also featuring the work of Craig Dongoski in The Salon. Craig Dongoski is an artist living and working in Atlanta since June 1999. He has taught painting and drawing full-time at Georgia State University becoming a permanent faculty member in fall 2001.
