Manifest Inaugurates New Expanded Galleries with FRESH PAINT and AQUACHROME - 57 works of painting by 45 artists from around the world! FRESH PAINT Main Gallery + Central Gallery + North Gallery Exhibit continues: November 9 - December 6, 2013 At some point many generations ago society reached a level where ordinary people could spend a lifetime perfecting their ability to mix and apply paint, in extraordinary ways. For only its second time in ten seasons Manifest will present a competitive group exhibition focused exclusively on painting. FRESH PAINT is a gallery exhibit that called for works of painting by artists around the world in order to reveal how they carry the tradition forward. Through a complex blind jury process seven jurors from across the U.S. reviewed 940 works by 369 artists. Forty works by the following 32 artists from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the countries of Canada, China, and Germany were selected for exhibition. Many of the artists have works included in recent Manifest International Painting Annual publications, or will have in the forthcoming INPA 3 or INPA 4. Works run the gamut, in a fairly wide spectrum exploring the variety of approaches to painting. These include the revitalized interest in painterly realism of ordinary objects and daily life, sculptural abstraction (literally 3D painting), painterly abstraction, complicated mixed-media approaches combining traditional and new media, narrative works, and more. Featuring the works of: Margery Amdur Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Kenneth Batista Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Donald Beal Provincetown, Massachusetts Evan Boggess Sheperdstown, West Virginia Neil Callander Mississippi State, Mississippi Bryan Christie New York, New York Adrian Cox St. Louis, Missouri Timothy Duong Long Beach, California Brett Eberhardt Macomb, Illinois Zara Feeney Thousand Oaks, California Hans Habeger Libertyville, Illinois Kelly Jordan Bloomington, Indiana Tim Kennedy Bloomington, Indiana Robert Kolomyski Woodbury, Minnesota Philip LaVelle Cincinnati, Ohio Eileen MacArthur Ontario, Canada Nicholas Mancini Cincinnati, Ohio Susannah Martin Frankfurt, Germany Michael McCaffrey Minneapolis, Minnesota Marcus Michels Hattiesburg, Mississippi Joe Morzuch Bono, Arkansas Steen Pedersen Yellow Springs, Ohio Jeremy Plunkett Cincinnati, Ohio Nicholas Raynolds Asheville, North Carolina Jerry Schutte Tempe, Arizona Benjamin Shamback Mobile, Alabama David Smith Tin Hau, China Casey Snyder Gaithersburg, Maryland David Stanger Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Tana Tapson Berkley, Michigan Joshua Willis Brooklyn, New York Dennis Wojtkiewicz Bowling Green, Ohio -- AQUACHROME CONTEMPORARY WATERCOLOR Drawing Room + Parallel Space Exhibit continues: November 9 - December 6, 2013 With watercolor, you can't cover up the marks. There's the story of the construction of the picture, and then the picture might tell another story as well. – David Hockney – on painting a watercolor... Make the best of an emergency. – John Singer Sargent Watercolors is the first and the last thing an artist does. – Willem de Kooning Quite possibly the oldest form of painting, watercolor persists today, defying narrow categorization and broad stereotype. Practiced for centuries in concept development preliminary to 'finished' paintings made in oil or other scale-worthy durable media, watercolor also found favor with botanists, illustrators, and portraitists, and was applied to varied and countless surfaces. The nature of the media itself represents a delicate and dictatorial transparency, fluidity, and a potential for expressive spontaneity. This not only makes it an ideal vehicle for contemporary art, but also one of training, intensity, philosophy, and play for any who practice it. Where an artist can easily dominate other painting media, forcing a will through viscous layers into a work of art like taming a wild horse, with watercolor there is dialog, compromise, and undeniable forthrightness. In this way the artist practicing watercolor works with a tiger in the room. Manifest's several-member blind jury process reviewed 335 works by 139 artists. Seventeen works by the following 14 artists from Alaska, California, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and the countries of Belgium and India were selected for exhibition. AQUACHROME is presented alongside FRESH PAINT as a deliberate subsample of the genre of painting, and to complement the overall range of painting on view throughout the galleries.
