Congratulations to our September Show Winners!
Judge's Comments 1st Place: Regina West, "Blue Bottles" I really love the combination of emphasis on contour, these really fine, delicate lines defining the outer boundaries of these bottles with these watery washes that juxtaposition between precision, classic combination of line versus color. And obviously, the idea of belonging, it's this little family of bottles, just huddled together, casting beautiful shadows. 2nd Place: Arthur Deatly, "Karaoke Night" I just love the implicit storytelling of it. And the image paired with the word belonging made me think of, what are the places that I go to where I feel at home, whether it's a restaurant or a parents' house. 3rd Place: Fontaine Jacobs, "Out of the Blue" I immediately gravitated towards this work because as someone, so curious about the manner of its making and the way the artist achieved all of this range of textures that there's a sort of bubbling, rippling, almost scaly appearance in certain passages. I just found the quality of the mark making really visually engaging. Honorable Mentions: Rona Lesser, "Love" I loved the gestural quality of the mark making. It's so very loose and fresh. In terms of thinking about belonging, the way these two figures are almost merging together in their closeness was very evocative. there's something very intimate and very kind of quietly powerful about the the body language between these two figures. Jacquelyn Reuther, "Sun Salutation" The body language of the woman, even though you can't see her face and her form is very simple, it feels like she's reaching out and sort of embracing the world. I just found it to be very joyful. It's so simple, but it's evocative of this feeling of being one with nature. Kay Salem, "My little pony" I was immediately just so struck by how charming the girl's face is. I just found it incredibly endearing and charming, as well as very technically accomplished. |
