CALL for ENTRIES: Past is Present

Posted on September 22, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

DO HICKEYS

It will come as no surprise that I love kitchen gadgets. I actually own a machine called the CoCoMotion (pictured right) that serves the solitary purpose of making hot cocoa at the perfect temperature. Embarrassing, but true. The top of my cabinets serves as a storage house of ridiculous serving pieces I’ll never use, old cheese boxes, and some very cool art made out of toasters. And if it is an OLD kitchen gadget…like my egg scale, then I’m really in love.

I fell in love for this Call for Entries from The Columbus (GA) Museum called Past is Present: Contemporary Approaches to Historical Decorative Arts and Design. Check it out…I think you’ll be surprised to find it is part classical applied art, part artisan craft and a whole lot of opportunity to look at your art from a different perspective.

CALL for Entries: Past is Present

The Columbus Museum announces a call to artists for its upcoming exhibition, Past Is Present: Contemporary Approaches to Historical Decorative Arts and Design. Contemporary artists are creating artwork that is breathing new life into techniques and forms found in centuries-old American decorative arts and design.

This exhibition will explore reinterpretations of textile work, including embroidery and beadwork; ceramics, such as transfer ware and figurines; portraiture, including miniature paintings and silhouettes; furniture-making, such marquetry and tall-case clocks; stained glass; and other traditional American decorative arts forms. The exhibition will be accompanied by a 16-page publication.

Eligibility: Open to all artists residing in the Continental United States. The Columbus Museum encourages innovative and progressive work that utilizes a diversity of art forms and media.

How to Submit Your Work: Please send 5-10 images at least 300 dpi on CD. Label all images with title and submit a corresponding image list.

The image list should include the title, date, dimensions, and medium (please list specific materials for mixed-media work). Please also include a current resume and artist statement.

Do not send original artwork, slides, master tapes, catalogues or reviews. Materials without self-addressed stamped envelope will not be returned.

DEADLINE: All materials must be postmarked before October 1, 2010; they may hand-delivered by that date to the Columbus Museum, located at 1251 Wynnton Road, Columbus, Georgia 31906, if preferred.

ENTRY FEE: There is no submission fee.

Electronic Media Work: Submit a sample of work(s) up to 30 minutes on DVD. (Complete work may exceed this running time.)

INTERNATIONAL Art Competition: JAPAN

Posted on September 7, 2010May 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SUSHI SUSHI SUSHI

I often post international artist residency opportunities and get lots of email in return that basically says, “I wish.” And, believe me, I understand the frustration of needing the inspiration and time and space of a residency, but not being able to afford the luxury of a month in Spain or Chile. Well, what if I told you that you could get the full foreign tour AFTER you do the work? Stop and smell the sushi, folks.

Check out this International Art Competition and Exhibition from Sakuraba Gallery in Japan. The artists that are selected to exhibit will be brought to Japan from their home country to attend the opening reception.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Ventura California

Posted on June 10, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

On ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, I preach the wisdom of not getting complacent…of continuing to enter shows. However…

I have been working on my show Psychomachia (see a detail of Lust: The Three Legged Man at left) for more than a year now with Arizona artist Jerry Portelli, and I have worked on it to the exclusion of almost everything else.

So, I really need to take my own advice and decide that it is time that I at least enter a couple of shows…it is all about balance…apples AND Cheetos.

NO MORE EXCUSES.

I PROMISE.

It has ceased to be about cash prizes for me. It is all about the ability to show in new places. Here is one of the shows that I think that I will enter this June:

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.

ART DEADLINES: January 2010

It has taken me quite a while to sift through the January 2010 deadlines. Apparently the word got out that artists were bored in the winter because there are shows everywhere.

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.

FEATURED ARTIST: Celine Eimann

Posted on December 1, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

Celine Eimann is a Swiss-born artist who is now based in Sydney, Australia.

Eimann studied fine arts in Switzerland and Visual Communication Design at Billy Blue College of Graphic Arts in Sydney.

As far as she can recall, Eimann always had a passion for painting, staining, coloring almost everything within the reach of her fingertips (which sometimes got her in trouble)!

More recently she also started writing and illustrating children stories, which will be soon available in English and in French. And, it is the illustration (pictured to the left) that truly grabbed my attention.

When I inquired further about this piece after tripping across it on Eimann’s site, I found that that there were actually an number of pieces for a children’s book that written and illustrated by Eimann called The Green Stone-Eater Monster.

While The Green Stone-Eater Monster has yet to be published, it was recently awarded first prize (in the picture book/graphic novel category) at the Chidren and Young Adult Writers and Illustrators conference in Brisbane, Australia.

In a recent blog post, Eimann outlines her current project, “I am now working on 3 new different projects. One of them being my second children book. And for this one I am actually stepping into the world of ‘little creatures’…

“I am researching and sketching how to make a fairy looking deliciously graceful and the forest mysteriously magical…I have a zillion images running in my head… I am trying new methods… I know it will come, it always does. Doesn’t it?”

I am excited to see what comes of Eimann’s newest projects and to buy a copy or two of The Green Stone-Eater Monster when it comes to print. You can find Eimann all over the web. In addition to Eimann’s web site, you can follow her on Twitter, find her on MySpace and Facebook…and don’t forget to check out her blog. I look forward to seeing more of her work!

SHOW: National Wet Paint Exhibition

EXHIBIT TYPE: Online Exhibit — Zhou B. Art Center, Chicago

DEADLINE: December 6, 2009.

MEDIA: Artists currently enrolled in a MFA program in an American college or university or artists who received an MFA degree within the last two years. All works must be or incorporate paint as their main medium for this painting exhibition. We welcome non-traditional interpretations of what painting is, how its done, and how it is exhibited or displayed. All submitted works will be considered for this artist exhibition. Original work only. No works previously exhibited at the Zhou B Art Center will be accepted. The curator reserves the right to accept or reject any work for inclusion into this exhibition.

DESCRIPTION: 2010 marks the first decade of the 21st Century. Under the watchful eye of a technology driven society, online social networking and cyber-interaction communities, a group of young artists have been evolving and redefining one of the oldest mediums of art. The National Wet Paint Artist Exhibition will be a contemporary art painting exhibition outlook and an overview of promising artists across the United States currently working in the medium of painting. Wet Paint refers to the idea that this is a fresh group of artists (MFA candidates/graduates) working in painting media. Wet Paint will pose the following questions: How is the next generation of artists redefining one of the oldest art mediums? How are new technologies impacting their painting materials, methods, techniques, processes and ideas? How are graduate programs in America reshaping painting? What does painting mean to a new generation? Wet Paint will highlight and give a forum to a new generation of artists working from traditional to experimental painting mediums. NO ENTRY FEE.
