Description
5th annual Art of Painting in the 21st Century 2014
Exhibition Dates: Marc 5th, 2014 – April 12, 2014
Lecture: Saturday March 8,2014 – 3pm
The Art of Painting in the 21st Century is an annual conference geared towards nurturing dialog on contemporary painting and the shared ideas that define current trends in the field. Many painters work alone, an isolated process that deprives the artist of thriving debate until the work is shown.
Featured Lecturer:
Chester Arnold: “Dirty Laundry”
My paintings are part of a visual dialogue running the length and breadth of human history. The search for excellence in this Art and Craft has led me to explore the natural world and the human events that inhabit it, constructing narratives that celebrate and question our presence in the world.
Although representational, I seek a way of painting that is richly traditional, yet radically and surprisingly new. I attempt to articulate more than the surfaces and dimensions of reality, summoning the wordless meanings and sensations that only visual art can.
