CALL for ENTRIES: Drawing from Perception

Posted on September 4, 2017September 5, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

FEED me

Restaurant wait times make me testy, and if I’m “hangry”, you’d better hope the kitchen isn’t in the weeds. I have a handful of standard distraction techniques, but my favorite is the restaurant with paper cover tables to draw on. It never fails that my artistic genius strikes when the only materials on hand are roll paper & crayons. Let’s call them oil pastels, shall we? This next Call wants your best drawing. Show ’em what you’ve got…

ARTIST of the DAY: Kathleen M. Robison

backward & FORWARD

Gaining perspective requires your finding your place in the present day by looking BOTH backward toward the path traveled (or not) & forward to embrace possibilities. When I came across this pair of portraits by today’s AotD, I found this idea beautifully illuminated. Ironically, Robison is primarily a plein air painter, which cannot be more rooted in the present. The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Kathleen M. Robison, offers a beautiful glimpse of Summer contemplation. (continues below).

"White Scarf" & "Blue Sun Dress" (plein air oil painting) by Kathleen M. Robison — *“White Scarf” & “Blue Sun Dress” (plein air oil painting) by Kathleen M. Robison*

“Painted this oil painting of a girl who was looking away into the blue sky. The bright light on the scarf drew me in, so did the movement of her hair. Her attitude that day reminded me of the ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’.” — Kathleen M. Robison

beautiful EXISTENCE

I’ve been searching for the perfect new home. I have fallen in love with the most imperfect 10 acres. Someone else out bid me because my budget is ridiculous. Two weeks later, their contract dissolved. I have a second day to hold the hope of imperfection in my heart. Fingers crossed. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Sue Hotchkis celebrates that same beauty. My totem art for the day. (continues below)

“…my work is texture and surface, strongly influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi. I seek out imperfection, in the insignificant and the overlooked, using a camera to freeze a moment in time, recording marks and surfaces that are in the process of breaking down, ephemeral, in a state of flux. ” —Sue Hotchkis

Confluence of public health and food labeling took a step forward when nutrition facts were added to processed foods. I promise I won’t go into my issues with processed food or the FDA this time.

My current kitchen kryptonite is the potato. I love them. I love them. I love them. They do not love me. They spike my blood sugar–which is fun, I’ll admit.

FIRED UP

How did grilling become the domain of men in TV commercial land? Is it the fire? If yes, how is fire masculine? Is it just the grilling of meat specifically, or is it equally masculine to grill eggplant? How do these idiotic ideas start? We’ll this next Call is looking for explorations of what it means to be male–even the stereotypes. So, fire up your grill and serve them a hot one…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for XY. Low entry ($24) plus free matting & framing. I can’t wait to see this exhibit…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: XY

Photographs of the strengths and virtues of masculinity coupled with the Achilles’ heel of meeting these stereotypes.

Do all men have power? Do all men want power? Is masculinity the same in every culture and time period? Does the performance of masculinity depend on the categories of race, class, and sexuality? The answer to the first three questions is a resounding no, while the answer both to the fourth one is a clear yes.

Darkroom Gallery is calling for photographs that explore the field of cultural, social, historical, political, psychological, economic, and artistic constructions of masculinity. What makes something or someone “male”? These definitions change with communities across the world and throughout history. There is a tense and complex relationship between hegemonic masculinities & subordinate masculinities. Throughout history, men have paid a steep price for not adhering to, or consciously resisting, stereotypical masculine models. Let’s remember sex and gender are separate entities.

Wanted are images interrogating these male ideals: photographs of warriors, fathers, of wimps and muscle men. Little boys can be “snakes and snails and puppy dog tails” but they can also love the color pink. Inanimate objects can imply such meanings. In the wake of patriarchal fanfare show us the vulnerability, gentleness and supple subtleties behind what is means to inhibit/exhibit being “male”. — from darkroomgallery.com

one POTATO

My Dad always loved to munch on raw potatoes when prepping them for some portion of a meal. No joking. Honestly, the only other being I know that loves raw potatoes is my dog Pepper. She loves them almost as much as cabbage and carrots. Her ultimate favorite was white grapes; then I learned they could lead to renal failure. (Apparently not many of you knew that either since no one responded when I wrote this post.) So, veggies it is, potatoes included. This next Call doesn’t necessarily want to know so much about what you feed them as much as your love for them. Take a look…

CARROT COIN
for your thoughts?

Yes, we have all heard that carrots are good for your eyes. But, the truth is that carrots contain beta carotene which the body converts to Vitamin A which is good for eye health. But, if a honey and ginger glaze is not enough to get you to eat carrots, never fear. Leaf greens, oily fish like tuna, eggs, nuts and even citrus will help keep your eyes healthy as well. This next call is more interested in your vision than your actual eye sight. But, take a look for yourself…
