From our Trees...
Artistry is Revealed
October 10 - Nov 2, 2008
| From different perspectives and with different tools, artists and artisans will draw inspiration from the gentle giants of the plant world. Included will be the American Arts & Crafts inspired designs of furniture maker Stewart Crick; the vibrant watercolors of Alice Kale, known for her renderings of Del Ray; the signature fluted trumpet bell forms of Phil Brown; the serene views of Oscar and Emmy Award winning photographer John Hiller; oils by Michele Reday Cook and Diane McClaugherty; sculpture by Lynda Smith-Bugge; and natural edge turned vessels by Patrick O’Brien. The exhibit is curated by furniture conservator Ron Blank. | |

| The Artistic
Self-Portrait in the 21st
Century. Self-portraits have been an artistic expression of self
for centuries from Michelangelo who depicted himself twice in
the Sistine Chapel’s The Last Judgment (both as St.
Bartholomew and as flayed skin held by St. Bartholomew) to
Rembrandt who portrayed himself more than 90 times during his
lifetime. Taking the self-portrait beyond the canvas, abstract
sculptor Louise Nevelson depicted herself in black painted wood
with a wall-sized piece titled, Self-Portrait: Silent Music
IV. Today, new media are allowing artists to redefine the
self-portrait as witnessed in the millions of pixilated images
that are e-mailed, IM’ed, posted on Facebook and printed from
the home computer everyday. How do you define self-portrait?
The Del Ray Artisans’ All-Member Show, PICTURE ME! The Artistic Self-Portrait in the 21st Century is your opportunity to portray yourself as you truly are, wish you were, or pray that you are not. Be a part of this redefining exhibition, all are invited to submit works in any style or medium. ART CAMP 2008 students created two large collaborative murals that will be on display. The art-field week ended with storytelling by Dianna Dietz and "bang up" drumming circle ring run by Mahiri Keita and Dan Peterson. |
