CALL for ENTRIES: Juried NYC Art Competition

Posted on December 26, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

HOLY BAGEL, BATMAN!

The holy grail for most of the emerging artists I know is a solo show in New York City. The myth of the NYC show as the tipping point for wealth, success and fame is as idealized as NYC diners, bagels and street hot dog vendors.

Don’t misunderstand, I LOVE diners, bagels and hot dogs. I recognize that none of them will change my life, but I will enjoy one and all if you offer me one.

Check out this next Call for Entries for the 2011 National Juried Competition from the First Street Gallery in New York City. The entry fee is a standard $35, but the grand prize …a solo show. Don’t miss this opportunity!

CAST A LINE

When I moved to Gatlinburg around 3 1/2 years ago, I wouldn’t live anywhere without a mountain top view.

It warms my heart that I have been able to feature so many great opportunities from my home state lately. I love art opportunities more than cheesecake…shocking, I know. The $10,000 in cash awards (including $2,000 for Best of Show) in this next show would buy a whole lotta cheesecake though.

In all of its dynamic, community-oriented programs, the Tennessee Art League is truly the heart of the visual arts in Tennessee.

Mr. Sulkowski has received numerous awards including the AAPL Grand National Award, the Grumbacher Gold Medallion Award and the Best in Show Award at the Art in the Mountains exhibition sponsored by Southwest Art magazine.

CALL for ENTRIES: Representational Art

Posted on October 12, 2010October 12, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

POACHED FOR ME, PLEASE!

Sometimes an egg is just an egg. Yes, I love them benedict. I love them scrambled, in caesar salad and as omelettes stuffed with goat cheese and peppers. But sometimes an egg is great just as an egg. The same is true of art. While much of this site’s attention is directed at non-respresentational and contemporary art and photography, there is such a vast American tradition of representational work that I would be remiss not to celebrate that talent and potential in my readers as well. Rachel Parker is one of my favorites.

Check out this Call for Entries from The Legacy Gallery for the 1st Annual Scottsdale Salon of Fine Art. This show will fill a 10,000 square foot gallery in Scottsdale, AZ and offer a $10,000 first prize for Best of Show. Take a look…

FEATURED ARTIST: Amy Kollar Anderson

Posted on March 15, 2010February 14, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

I’M MELTING
melting

I love Surrealism in art. I just do. Fried eggs permanently remind me of Dali’s melting clocks. It is embedded now.

But I digress. Surrealism has had a significant influence on my own work, and I believe it is that same slant of Surrealism that I love in the work of Amy Kollar Anderson. And I am pleased and proud to have painter Amy Kollar Anderson as AAAD’s latest Featured Artist!

Anderson grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. Her inspirations are gathered from the work of the Surrealists, Symbolists, Art Nouveau, and the decorative arts.

Intrigued by the forms, textures and colors found in nature, she collects bits of plants, rocks, bones, and feathers, then sorts them in jars in her studio. Her current series explores divergent environments inside and outside the containers, and addresses issues of environmental concern and child welfare.

She received her B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and her Master of Humanity with a focus in Fine Arts, from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.

She currently lives with her husband and their four cats in Dayton, Ohio, and works as the Gallery Coordinator for the Rosewood Gallery in Kettering, Ohio.

See “Nite Mare” pictured right. To watch a time-lapsed video of Anderson painting “Nite Mare,” click Here.

Of her process Anderson says, “I enjoy the process of creating a completely new environment in each painting, complete with new rules about interactions and colors.

I enhance this juxtaposition of imagery by creating what I call the ‘gypsy aesthetic’ of patterns and colors, which is inspired by my frequent trips to local thrift stores.

“The aesthetic involves a contrast of overlapping vintage and modern design elements and untraditional paint choices, such as metallic, fluorescent and interference colors.

This subtle psychedelic presentation misdirects the viewer from immediately focusing on the issues presented, therefore creating harmony and tension in the narrative.”

“The Messenger” (pictured left) is one of the images I watched in progress on Anderson’s facebook fan page. I encourage you to reach out and get connected with Anderson on facebook, MySpace, and her website KollarAnderson.com .

Sign up for Anderson’s announcement list, find connections to her Etsy shop and more via the Contact Page on her website.

If you would like to be considered as a Featured Artist,
submit your work to the Featured Artist Contest.

FEATURED ARTIST: Catherine Roach

Posted on December 6, 2009February 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

I have a treat for you today…

the work of Catherine Roach.

I love art. My home and office are filled to the brim with the work of artists that I love. And, while I have a significant appreciation for the talent it takes to produce realism, I prefer not to own it.

I want the artwork I own to inspire me to dream of what can be, not what already is. Admittedly, that is my personal choice.

I am a fan of modern Romanticism in art and artists. I own work that leads with the heart and confronts it in a cerebral way. I like the idea of the gifted hero following inspired creativity and knowledge to produce genuinely special work that defies norms and expectations.

The work of Catherine Roach took me by surprise.

I researched every piece of her work that I could find electronically. By the time I had viewed it all, I felt like I had an intimate experience.

Roach’s work makes me sad a little, but I find myself smiling at the wit with which it is packaged. I am aesthetically drawn to Roach’s frenzied sense of composition and use of color and then smacked by its raw, personal commentary.

When I asked about her process, it all became a little clearer. Roach says, “I begin a piece by reading over the scribbled down sea of words from that day, and placing images for these statements in my head at first, jotting down ideas as I go. I work rapidly without restraint, not holding anything back, to some extent of a free write. I use a large variety of media when creating, from pens to watercolor, and acrylic to digital. Knowing I don’t ever have a limit, creating for myself and no one else is what drives me to a finish.”

I often ask artists what their favorite food is because I’m a foodie…and I am nosey that way. This is a food-themed art blog–loosely speaking, but I rarely publish artists’ answers.

This time, I have to expose Catherine for what she is…a goldfish eater. The comfort of cheese all wrapped up in a glowing, albeit tiny, smiling package. Very telling, Ms. Roach, very telling.

Catherine Roach is currently attending The New England Art Institute in Boston for Graphic Design, and approaching her final semester in January. And I must admit that I am concerned that she will always keep her work to herself like her own private little treasure. I am bothered because I want to own the work of Catherine Roach. And, I believe that is the highest compliment any viewer can give any artist.

I am a fan of taking medicine with a spoonful of sugar. Catherine, thank you for the sweet surprise. Thank you for letting me publish just a little glimpse.

I am inspired.
