CALL for ENTRIES: monochrome

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the monochrome exhibit at Las Laguna Gallery!sautee or FRY?

There is a fine line between golden goodness & fried brown sameness.  I have an aunt who won’t eat “lacy” eggs or “dirty” biscuits, her phraseology for anything browned, but she only eats meats well done. (Go figure.)  Personally, I love a butter browned anything, but I shy away from the monotony of bread-crumb brown.  This next Call wants your monotone work –food references not required.  Take a look…

Learn more about the Abstractions exhibit from Las Laguna Gallery!comfort, hold the BREAD

Peanut butter & jam used to be my go-to comfort food, back before wheat allergies took my family down with a thud.  So I’ve been trying out abstractions of the PB&J.  Peanuts & raisins, dried cranberries & sunflower seeds, and my favorite, pumpkin seeds and raspberries.  It is the same comfort, but without the structure.  I’m a fan.  This next Call wants to test your comfort with abstraction.  Take a look…

“This body of work speaks to simplicity,  the inherent beauty of the materials…” — Megan Klim

In preparation for an international move in 2018, we are downsizing to a one bedroom apartment (approx. 450 sq. ft) from a 2 bedroom cabin (850 sq. ft.).  As we purge, I find that I make decisions on whether things stay or go based on their usefulness, simplicity & aesthetic, in that order.  The simple beauty of the work of today’s Artist of the Day, Megan Klim speaks to me.  It is a beautiful calm.

Hidden Life of Stripes 17, encautic, by Kathy Cantwell
Hidden Life of Stripes 17 (encaustic) by Kathy Cantwell

“They wait to be observed. In their numbers,
they are a community of stripedom, standing
together to make their voices count & possibly
overtaking the viewer with their strength.”
—Kathy Cantwell

•

Unlike many curators & jurists, I really love reading artists’ statements.  I live to consume them separately so as not to influence my perception of the work.  I am drawn to geometrics, so when I came across the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, encaustic painter Kathy Cantwell, I was intrigued by the “why” behind the stripes.  I never expected to walk away with a perspective on humanity, on how we are better… together.  Thank you, Kathy.

CALL for ENTRIES: Women in Art

Learn about the Women in Art exhibit from Las Laguna Gallery!
BEANS of green

The women in my family have a grudge against the snap of a fresh green vegetable.  My mother has canned green beans for her sisters for the last half-dozen years.  Her process for canning requires a certain amount of cooking plus heat-sealing the jars which compromises the texture.  But, that isn’t where the grudge match ends; my aunts cook canned green beans for hours in addition.  What did green beans ever do to the women in my family?  While I contemplate those answers, here’s a Call that wants to see more work by women.  Take a look…

Food matters to me, inspires me.  I believe that what we eat informs our health & happiness.  I’m not talking about counting calories or carbs.  I am concerned with whole foods, grown locally with minimal processing.  Real food.  I am always delighted to see food inspiring others.  Chocolate has inspired art, including a sort of painting, in the the pastry arts for years, but did you know there are chocolate portrait painters?  No joke.  This next call is looking for work done through a painterly process, but I’m guessing they aren’t expecting chocolate.  Investigate for yourself…

ARTIST of the DAY: Alicia Tormey

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

testing BOUNDARIES

In addition to being the Editor of AAAD, I spend a considerable amount of time consulting with artists individually on branding their work, unifying their message & the philosophical packaging of their work for consumption.  Technology is vehicle that allows delivery of work that is complete in contrast with that very technology.  I appreciate the push to expand my knowledge, to remain relevant, to drag a few artists wit me. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Alicia Tormey finds her own motivation in testing boundaries. (continues below)

"Galaxy" (left) and "Swoon" (right) by Alicia Tormey, encaustic mixed media
“Galaxy” (left) & “Swoon” (right) by Alicia Tormey, encaustic mixed media

“An insatiable curiosity drives me to constantly experiment while testing the boundaries of this medium. The mystery of not knowing what’s going to happen next has the power to hold my attention for long stretches of time. The unpredictable nature of encaustic and the open flame of a torch captivates me and pulls me along for a never ending ride.” —Alicia Tormey

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?”  Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus.  Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?”  This next Call answers that question.  Take a look…

The featured food at my house this week is Jona Gold apples ($.89/lb). Last month is was asparagus ($1.99/lb).  This whole month it has been apples, partly because of our proximity to an orchard, and partly due to price.  We’re heading toward Winter, and I’ll be eating $1 butternut squash for at least 2 months. It is all about eating what’s in season. It is cheaper, healthier, and yummier. Think of it as a seasonal treat.  This next Call is all about the upcoming season, and it’s a treat too!  Take a look…
