Kirk Maxson and Tiffanie Turner/ Panel Discussion at the Elenor Harwood Gallery, February 3rd, 2018 6:00-7:00 pm

Kirk Maxson and Tiffanie Turner Panel Discussion:  Using Representational Botanical Sculpture to Address Conceptual Ideas Greetings!  We are pleased to announce a panel with gallery artists Kirk Maxson and Tiffanie Turner about their art and practice. Both will address questions regarding their individual artistic process as well as the conceptual issues behind their work. Through the exploration of the seductive realistic forms of botanicals, Maxson gets at larger themes of invasive species as a metaphor for colonialism and personal histories. Turner, using similar botanical forms, explores the aging female body and the beauty in age and decay.  About the Artists Kirk Maxson Born 1967, Eugene, OR Lives and works in San Francisco Kirk Maxson moved to San Francisco in 1992 and participated in the San Francisco Mission School art scene.

Gerald Peters Gallery is pleased to announce Harvey Dinnerstein's New York. February 16th-March 16th

Harvey Dinnerstein's New York February 16th-March 16th Gerald Peters Gallery is pleased to announce Harvey Dinnerstein's New York. Comprised of paintings and drawings from the 1980s through the present day, the exhibition will focus on the work of American Realist painter Harvey Dinnerstein and the subject matter that has defined his career and garnered him critical acclaim and national recognition. Since his childhood, when he first put pencil to paper, Brooklyn-born Dinnerstein has focused on capturing the world around him -- his world -- his landscape: New York City. While Dinnerstein's formal art training began in the studio of Moses Soyer, and continued at the High School of Music and Art, the Art Students League, and the Tyler School of Art, his informal and perhaps more lasting training occurred riding the subway from Brownsville to Manhattan. The artist recalls how "the subway enabled me to travel from a provincial neighborhood in Brooklyn to art classes across the river on the island of Manhattan. I studied anatomy, drawing, painting in art school, but I also learned a great deal observing and sketching in the subway. The immediacy of a direct response to the human subject on a moving train forces one to develop powers of perception and memory. The subway also revealed a view of the great diversity of life in the city that shaped my artistic vision over the years." While Dinnerstein's work derives both stylistically and technically from a long history of realist painting in the United States and Europe, he has brought the traditions into the twenty-first century. His thirsty eyes respond to contemporary life, passages of time, and most importantly our human condition. For further information contact: Alexandra Polemis Vigil at 212-628-9760.

Knight Foundation provided a matching grant challenge that doubles donors’ gifts and ensures that works by African American artists will always be represented in the museum’s permanent collection. “We are proud to be a museum with a collection that is reflective of our diverse Miami community,” said PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans. “Through the Fund and this annual event, we are able to continue to shape the institution’s collection of contemporary African American art and support its growth for generations to come.” This year’s celebration will unveil the fund’s most recent acquisition, a new painting by Tschabalala Self, and will offer special evening programs in three parts. Knight Foundation will match dollar to dollar all of the proceeds generated by the event to help support the fund. The Dinner | cocktails 7pm, dinner 8pm: The evening will begin with an intimate cocktail hour and seated dinner in Paresky Hall, with introductory remarks made by ABC Local 10 Anchor and Reporter Neki Mohan. Dinner guests will also have access to the Reveal and the Celebration. Tickets: $1,000 per person. The Reveal | 9-10pm: The celebration will continue with a reveal of the fund’s most recent acquisition in the presence of the artist Tschabalala Self, with remarks by artist and scholar David C. Driskell. Guests will also enjoy entertainment, champagne, and dessert. Guests of the Reveal will also have access to the Celebration. Tickets: $500 for non-members (includes Ambassador membership) and $250 for Ambassador members. The Celebration | 9pm-midnight: The festivities will conclude under the stars on the East Portico with cocktails, canapés, and dancing. Tickets: $100 per person ($50 tickets are also available on limited capacity). The PAMM Fund for African American Art was established in 2013 with a $1 million donation, funded equally by Jorge M. Pérez and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, for the purchase of contemporary art by African American artists for the museum’s permanent collection. Through the Fund, the museum first acquired works by Al Loving, Faith Ringgold, and Xaviera Simmons, which joined other significant pieces in the museum’s collection by African American artists such as Leonardo Drew, Sam Gilliam, Rashid Johnson, Lorna Simpson, James Van Der Zee, Carrie Mae Weems, Kehinde Wiley, and Purvis Young. At the last Annual Reception for the PAMM Fund for African American Art, the museum acquired works by Kevin Beasley, Theaster Gates, Sam Gilliam, Martine Syms, and Juana Valdes.

Casey Chalem Anderson's Winter Cloud Wave 12 x 12 oil on panel

Winter Cloud Wave In the 01/02/2018 edition:  By Casey on Jan 01, 2018 05:37 pm Winter Cloud Wave 12 x 12 oil on panel Have you ever noticed similarities in ways that puffy cumulous clouds and waves look? Both have rounded soft edges that are molded creating depth and space. They often share similar colors: mounds of soft glowing white and delicate lavender gray shadows. Waves and clouds are both made of water in different forms. Liquid waves explode with a super charged energy spurting skyward and then tumbling down. You can feel another movement as the wind blows against the face of the wave dispersing foam into thin wisps and fine mist.  Watch a wave in any season and it brings you into a action packed exhilarating moment. Winter waves remind me that the ocean is powerful beyond anything that man can control.  I’m thinking about the gentle days of Spring and Summer ahead and how we will want to jump into that very same ocean. All the best to you and Happy New Year 2018 – hoping it will bring wonderful new ideas, plans and moments! Casey The post Winter Cloud Wave appeared first on Casey Chalem Anderson.
