Oil and Water: J.M.W. Turner's Influence on the Mystic Art Colony, October 11- November 16

Running concurrently with Mystic Seaport Museum’s J.M.W. Turner: Watercolors from Tate, the Mystic Museum of Art (MMoA) presents a curated, complementary exhibition exploring the artistic innovation and influence of Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851).   Achieving international fame in his own lifetime, lifelong Londoner J.M.W. Turner is credited with being the catalyst that inspired passionate young artists like Monet and Pissaro to abandon traditional art salons to paint en plein air; leading to the creation of the Impressionist movement, the American Impressionists, and Abstract Expressionism. MMoA and the Mystic Seaport Museum are working together to create inter-institutional programming and workshops. Featuring works of art pulled from MMoA’s permanent collection, Oil and Water: J.M.W. Turner’s Influence on the Mystic Art Colony will focus on Turner’s legacy on the international art world, and how the techniques he pioneered in 18th-century Britain influenced the 20th-century artists of the burgeoning Mystic Art Colony, citing specific examples in each piece selected for display. Since 1978, Mystic Museum of Art (MMoA) has presented an annual, open juried exhibition dedicated entirely to the field of photography, celebrating the many different styles and techniques employed in the medium by local artists. This year’s juror will be Eileen McCarney Muldoon, a practicing photographer, instructor, and soon to be three-time published author. MMoA has served as a focal point for the arts in southeastern Connecticut for more than 100 years. Founded in 1913 as the Mystic Art Association, and expanded in 2004 as Mystic Art Center to offer a rich education program, MMoA is built on a strong foundation in both the exhibition and the practice of fine art. MMoA’s mission is to inspire creativity and critical dialogue by engaging the regional community in the understanding, appreciation, and practice of visual art.

Catch the Fremin Gallery Fancy Animal Carnival September 26th.

FANCY ANIMAL CARNIVAL Fremin Gallery is thrilled to present Fancy Animal Carnival, a follow up from the 2016 acclaimed Public exhibition for Hung Yi with the Garment District of New York City.  Works from Korean artist, Mi Ju and Chinese photographer, Maleonn will join Hung Yi's works for the exhibition. Fancy Animal Carnival will be on view from September 26th to November 9th, with an opening on September 26th from 6-8pm. RSVP at: emmanuel@fremingallery.com. These three Asian artists are unified by their shared interest in utilizing animals and nature as vehicles to reflect inwardly on their respective heritages and to comment outwardly on pressing aspects of society. HUNG YI  Hung Yi’s whimsical animal sculptures evoke traditional Asian symbols and motifs believed to bring luck. The painted patterns reflect on folk culture and religion, as well as the artist’s personal experiences and observations of people’s everyday lives. Hung Yi’s iconic sculptures can be found in public spaces across the globe, including airports, theater halls, elementary schools and universities. Yi has also exhibited extensively with InSian Gallery in Taiwan, at locations ranging from Taichung City Government buildings to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store, as well as in various locations across the United States. MI JU  Artist Mi Ju will offer 50 free signed limited edition prints valued at $1,000 at the opening reception. Mi Ju’s captivating paintings take inspiration from the intricate ornaments and otherworldly creatures that fill Buddhist temples. Her reimagination of Korean folk art is influenced by the intricacy of psychedelic art, Native American totem poles, Aboriginal topographical art, and diverse perspectives about nature that she has gleaned from her international travels. Most recently, Mi had a solo exhibition at Gallery Poulsen in Copenhagen in 2018 and has shown in numerous art fairs including Art Busan 2018, Art Herning 2018, Pulse Miami Beach 2017, and the Asia Contemporary Art Show, Hong Kong in 2017. MALEONN  Maleonn creates magical, surreal landscapes in his imaginative photographs by crafting elaborate, dream-like scenes, often set in nature. Similar to Hung Yi and Mi Ju, Maleonn’s work also comments on his cultural upbringing, as he lived through China’s Cultural Revolution. In 2017, Maleonn received the Silver A Design Award in Photography and Photo Manipulation in Italy and his invention of a life-size puppet system for his show, Papa’s Time Machine garnered international acclaim and recognition from the Shanghai International Arts Festival, the International Society for the Performing Arts in 2016, as well as the Spoleto Festival and Israel Festival. www.fremingallery.com  212.279.8555  info@fremingallery.com  Follow us on Instagram  Follow us on Facebook  Follow us on Twitter carnival, animals, fremin gallery, fineartmagazine

History Buffs, Antique Collectors catch Barakat's Roman Marble Relief Fragment

An Exceptional Roman Marble Relief Fragment 250 AD to 270 AD Mediterranean This fine marble relief fragment was most probably taken from the corner of a monumental lion-hunt sarcophagus. It is finely carved in high relief in the manner of a young hunter who wears a chlamys fastened around his right shoulder with his head carved almost in the round and turned sharply to his right just enough to make out his long sideburns. His face is composed of large eyes with recessed crescent pupils and incised irises while his hair is swept up and back from his forehead in long wavy locks. This item is now on view in our current Barakat Seoul exhibition featured below.  To read further please click the image above.  To see additional artifacts from the Roman Art Collection please click HERE The Glory of the Classical World Barakat Seoul proudly presents "The Glory of the Classical World: Selections from the Ancient Greek & Roman Art Collection," an exhibition of ancient Roman and Greek artworks representing the “eternal canon of Western culture,” from Wednesday, September 4th to Saturday, December 7, 2019.  For more information on this show and the pieces featured please click on the image to the left.
