Architectural & Interior Design Studio

“Art is anything you can get away with.”
— Marshall McLuhan
G4 Art Gallery
July 2010

G4 Studios was a rare kind of project: the designer was also the owner, curator and host. Conceived by Guy Tetrick inside The Exchange at Church Street Station, the gallery brought architecture, interiors, graphics, art and hospitality together as one experience.
The historic setting was never treated as something to erase. It became the counterpoint. Bronze, brass and traditional wayfinding belonged to the landmark; inside G4, sculpted acrylic, glass, polished metal and contemporary art established an unmistakably different voice. The storefront opened that dialogue to the street, making the gallery part of downtown life rather than a room apart from it.
The same attitude shaped the culture. Florida artists and emerging talent shared the walls. The atmosphere was serious about art without becoming precious about it—even novice artists were welcome to exhibit, provided they brought a bottle for the bar.
G4 was not simply a place to look at art. It was a place built around what happens because of it.
