COCOA

Feeling too lazy to make it from scratch, I decided to BUY a ready-made mix for hot chocolate last week. Then I read the label. Damn the labels. I just cannot knowingly consume another artificial sweetener. Acesulfame Potassium is in almost every mix out there–even the non-diet ones. So, I went home and pulled out my recipe. It has 4 ingredients: milk, cocoa, sugar & vanilla. So, even feeling lazy, I was better off taking the alternative approach. Just like this next call…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Alternative Approach from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and if you do this type of work, this is a fantastic opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Alternative
Approach

Alternative process photography today is a blend of contemporary ideas and historical techniques. Many photographers have rediscovered some of the forgotten early processes, bringing a unique style to present-day image making. Incorporating these processes into their work involves both skilled craftsmanship and a creative blending of new and old. For our third annual alternative process exhibition, The Alternative Approach, The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographers who use handmade and historic photographic techniques in their work. 19th century photographic processes dominate this genre.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Alternative Photography including, but not limited to: Albumen, Cyanotype, Van Dyke Brown, Platinum/Palladium, Gum Bichromate, Bromoil, Salt Print, Wet-plate Collodion, Image Transfer and Ziatype.

His work has been published and shown extensively, including exhibitions in The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The George Eastman House, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The first two editions of his book, The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes (Delmar Cengage -Albany, NY), have received international critical acclaim and are universally recognized by artists, curators, historians, and educators as the definitive texts in the genre of alternative process photography and photographically integrated media and culture. A significantly expanded 850 page, 600 image, 3rd edition will be published in 2013.

Christopher, after 13 years at Harvard University, is presently University Professor, and Director of the MFA in Photography program at The College of Art and Design – Lesley University. He is also a painter, graphic designer, and a professional scuba diver.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works.

The Kiernan Gallery DOES still have incentive to sell your work. The gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

OOPS

Am I the only one that is grateful no one documents their cooking methods? Because I enjoy experimenting with food and cooking, things often go a little off course. When the milk you meant to scald curdles, and the onions you meant to caramelize burn and the pie crust meant to be flaky really just crumbles…well, it is good not to have a record of it sometimes. This next Call is looking for your take on documentary, and it doesn’t have to be your cooking. Take a look…

FEATURED ARTIST: Michael O’Gorman

Posted on November 30, 2013June 12, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

‘SHROOM to go

It has been a truly surreal year for me, my personal art, and for many of my readers. So, with fingers crossed I began reviewing the entries hoping to find a little surrealism. Honestly, I rarely have surrealists enter, but I was hopeful. I knew what I wanted, and what-do-you-know, I found it. It was like finding that random mushroom on your pepperoni pizza just when you were hoping for veggies. On behalf of AAAD, I am proud to announce this month’s Featured Artist is Michael O’Gorman. I find this work to be endlessly complicated, but fluid.

FEATURED ARTIST:
Michael O’Gorman

•

Michael O’Gorman is an artist from the United Kingdom who specializes in surreal oil paintings of organic and anthropomorphic subject matter, expressed through a unique ’merging’ style. He is obsessed with detail and perfection, and spends many months on a single painting, ensuring that the color gradients are smooth, that all narratives within a composition blend harmoniously, and – most importantly – that each painting is exciting and rewarding to view!

O’Gorman graduated from the University of Warwick in 2006 and works as a freelance artist and writer. He loves to create complex, detailed artworks whose narratives can be explored and observed forever, with the viewer always discovering something new and exciting.

Are you self taught or formally instructed? “I’m self-taught. I always doodled as a child, but it wasn’t until 2002 – when I was 17 years old – that I tried to create my first serious drawing. Four months of obsessive penciling by lamplight later, and ‘Black Water’ was finished!

“Three years after ‘Black Water,’ I taught myself to paint. I outlined some figures onto canvas with pencil and coloured them with acrylic paints. This was the beginning of my first painting, ‘Perpetual Fluidity,’ which remains my only improvised painting.

“I’m extremely glad that I avoided art lessons, since I cannot understand how surreal artists – artists whose works are assessed on uniqueness of expression – could benefit from an external mentor. I do have a university degree, but it’s in an unrelated field.”

Is your media paint, ink, digital? “Of the twenty-eight artworks I have created to date, two are in pencil, one is in acrylic, and the rest are in oil. It didn’t take me long to graduate from acrylic to oil after completing ‘Perpetual Fluidity.’ Though I appreciated their boldness, I found acrylics a little too shallow for my tastes. Moreover, their quick drying times maddened me; I’m a perfectionist, and I need to spend hours moving paint around the canvas until the colour gradients are seamless!“

I read your method of deriving inspiration from words randomly chosen from the dictionary, but I am also interested in knowing those pieces that have personal meaning to you. Talk to me about your favorite (non-random) piece. My favourite piece to date is probably ‘Memoirs of a Fertile Imagination’ since I feel it encapsulates the most unique aspects of my style: An unlimited sense of flow (resulting in a non-existent focal point), anthropomorphism (giving human features to non-human subjects), and a playful tone. Its warmth always brings a smile to my face.”

You state that, “Working from life is plagiarism”. That’s a pretty controversial way of explaining you’re not a fan of representational work. What does that say about your view of photography? “I appreciate photography to an extent, and the medium has incomparable value as a historical document. Unfortunately, while not everyone can compose music, write stories, or paint landscapes, everyone can take photographs. Consequently, photography has become the refuge of the amateur, and the online art world is now saturated with unremarkable photos that often eclipse the actual artwork.” Editor’s Note: Ouch. Just in case you think this contest is rigged or biased, please note this is the second Featured Artist in a row that has, innocently enough, slammed some aspect of how I work. Geez. Guess it is good that I’m not thin-skinned.

What style or school of art do you think your work fits into and why? “I’m comfortable with the surreal label, since Surrealism is an effective umbrella term for unusual artwork. I also feel that certain artworks of mine have Abstract and Visionary elements to them, though I don’t align myself with those movements.”

What artists (living and/or dead, famous or not) inspire you most? I’m not a great art lover, and I can’t claim direct inspiration from other artists. That said, I do appreciate the works of Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Salvador Dali, Jacek Yerka, and Zdizslaw Beksinski. I like artists whose works are unique and instantly recognisable – artists that don’t need to signature their paintings because no-one can imitate them in the first place.

Interview continues below Perpetual Fluidity.

You know we have to talk about food. What is your favorite? “Though I’m from the UK, my mother is Italian and I was raised in a household where Mediterranean food reigned supreme: Pasta, salads, buffalo mozzarella, bruschetta, pizzas, etc. Italian food still remains my favourite.

“I’m also a big fan of British desserts, especially fruit scones with clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam (served with English breakfast tea, of course). I honestly think I could eat that every day. In fact, when I’m elderly enough to get away with it, I probably will.”

What about snack foods? “Probably arancini. They are balls of rice and cheese that have been fried and coated in breadcrumbs.” I have to admit, I have never heard of arancini, much less tasted it. Fascinating. That doesn’t happen often.

So, what’s coming up next for you? “In-between creating new artwork, I hope to put my existing artwork on sale for the first time. I’ll also create a page on my website where people can buy prints of the original work. After all, is a home truly a home without a framed print of a campfire transforming into a horned beast that writes algebra on an oversized blackboard pulsating with live flesh? Definitely not!”“

Michael, thank you for such a well-defined point of view and for being precisely that for which I was searching this month.

I cut my living space to ¼ the previous size, and quite frankly, I am relieved. Less house, less to clean. But the kitchen is SO SMALL.

I am told there foods that are simply not worth making for yourself because the short term reward isn’t worth the long-term effort–like chocolate pudding. I don’t know about that one since I rarely eat chocolate pudding. But, I’ve never known that to be true about food. Art shows are a different matter. Some are difficult to enter, expensive and have little to no long-term benefits. This next show is NOT one of those. Take a look because I think you’ll appreciate all this show has to offer…

I’m talking about those folks that can rub two sticks together to make fire or bury things in the coals that turn out like gourmet treats. I am not that girl. I’m not really a fan of living in the elements–period. I mastered s’mores & “Angels Riding Horeseback” (cheese dogs) in the Girl Scouts, but I got that badge by the skin of my teeth.

Photograph the beauty of nature, five elements provide the foundation for our entire physical world.

Earth, and everything on it, is the product of different combinations of the five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. Everything found in our world is unique because it contains a varying ratio of these five elements.

Whether walking headfirst into a gale of wind or digging our hands into the soil, we possess an inherent familiarity with the elements. All organic and inorganic substances are combinations of them, be it a time-polished rock or a shiny piece of plastic. A multitude of spiritual practices revolve around these five important pieces of the universe.
