Fluid Media group has a new exhibition posted to Artsy.net, The Practice of Everyday Life, Find it here. From the curatorial statement: The experiences we navigate everyday become a stepping off point for the artist’s understanding of the relationships between color, space, light and form. Like Ellsworth Kelly’s fascination with ornithology or Giorgio Morandi’s vases, anything can become a catalyst for creative revelation.
These experiences feed the creative spirit and find their way into the artwork. The seemingly mundane seeps into art and is transformed through the creative process.
The transcendence of the subject becomes complete at the time of viewing, when the viewer experiences the work. Whether that original spark is realized by the viewer is less important than the experience of the artwork in itself. Find this piece included in the exhibition. Above: When The World Was Young, oil with Venetian plaster, mica, 23k gold on yupo mounted on board, 12" diameter. (Sold.) |

Above: Some Clouds
Oil paint, Venetian plaster, mounted on panel 15" diameter, $650.

Also on artsy... Glance Gander Gaze, organized and curated by Deborah Barlow. From her curatorial statement: Glancing is an instinctive, automatic action—a survival mechanism that continuously monitors our ever-changing surroundings. Unlike the detached nature of the gaze, glancing links us more intimately with the world we inhabit, collecting a wealth of information. Peripheral vision and bodily sensations are both acknowledged in this process. “Glancing discovers whole colonies of the to-be-seen world,” writes Casey. “Places where sight has never before been—or if it has, it now sees differently. The glance guides the eye as it comes to know the perceived world, leading it out of morestaid and settled ways of looking.” Gander occupies a middle ground between the glance and the gaze. It is a willingness to wander without intention, to explore what is often overlooked. Gandering can take us into disorientation, perplexity and the undiscovered. The benefits of letting the eye meander can be surprising. Read the full statement here. View the show here. |

Spliced Connector group's current exhibition at Artsy.net, Into Wildness, features the work of 27 member artists. It remains on view through the month of May.
From the curatorial statement:
"There is a human wildness held beneath the skin that finds all barriers brutishly unbearable." -Jim Harrison In this world there is a tumbling of matter and spirit, which makes for wildness. This tumbling makes space for places thought carries us to, in consideration of the roiling change we live with. There are many different ideas about what wildness is. Something untethered; irrationality, extreme emotional engagement. Letting loose. Stochastic. The implication is that something which is wild is untamed, and untamable.....
