SUMMARY:Out of the Blue\, National Juried Art Show
DESCRIPTION:My painting Escape from my Architectural Series was selected by Susan O’Neill for the National Juried Art Show Out of the Blue presented by Gallery Underground\, Arlington\, VA. \nJoin us for the opening reception Friday\, August 4\, 5 – 7 pm\n  \nIf you miss the opening\, you can visit Mondy through Friday before August 25\, 2023\, 10 am – 6 pm \nFew words about my Architectural Series and the selected painting Escape:\nAs a colorist artist\, I constantly seek concepts and compositions to expand my color fields beyond the traditional flat abstract or geometrical forms. Using depth and some depiction of reality serves well as a chromatic playground. Initial architectural sketches were born out of my Perspective series. While simulating 3D structures on my computer and tablet as studies\, I realized some of the attributes of digital art are more expressive. So\, I started printing and adhering certain areas as collages to my artwork. Then I began digitally infusing the images of half-finished paintings\, adding digital layers and further painting again over the prints. Therefore\, they are one-of-a-kind and not printed editions with many layers of paint on top of the initial inkjet print. \nEscape\, selected for this national juried art exhibit\, is one of the three paintings I’ve done with abstracted architectural forms where blues dominate the foreground and warmer colors are pushed to the background. This reverses the academic notion of warm colors in front and cold colors in the horizon and creates an unexpected composition that works well as a color field painting.

SUMMARY:The Art League - August emBODY Art Exhibit 2023
DESCRIPTION:My painting Actaeon from my Perspective Series (48×36″ mixed media on wood panel) was selected by Ahrong Kim\, juror for the August emBODY Exhibit at The Art League\, Alexandria\, VA. \nI currently also have a smaller painting Harvest Dawn from my Landscape Colorfield series in Gallery 75 of The Art League (same location). \nVisit this art show throughout the month of August any day of the week\, 10 am – 6 pm.\nFew words about Actaeon:\nThis is a painting from my  Perspective Series – a revival of the tools\, namely perspective grids\, invented by Renaissance artists. I first applied this depth-simulation trick to my otherwise intuitive abstract art in 2018. This immediately generated a somewhat surreal look\, asking for more elements of dream-like visuals\, such as stylized human figures. Inspired by Greek mythology—Actaeon the hunter became the hunted\, watching the goddess of hunters\, Artemis (Roman Diana)\, bathing—he was transformed into a stag by the goddess. This story is the iconic motif by which Actaeon is recognized in ancient art and Renaissance and post-Renaissance depictions. I portrayed him as a contemporary superhero while preserving the antique and Renaissance appeal as part of my Perspective series. The sun also plays a vital role in balancing the composition and further establishing the ancient pagan mood (sun worship).
