Dirk Staschke, Vanitas Vase Number 5, Ceramic, 16x11x11, 2018

We are honored to have “Vanitas vase number 5” by artist DIRK STASCHKE taken into the collection of the Everson Museum.

“Being a studio artist isn’t easy. I used to tell my students, “If you can do anything else, do it.” For thirty-one years everything else has been secondary to my artistic practice, except my family. Covid created my first real “break” from making. On occasion, in times of reflection, I have wondered what if I had done something else? In all those years there are rare moments of true affirmation.“

Originally opening in 1897 as the Syracuse Museum of Fine Art, the Everson is a museum of firsts. It was the first museum to dedicate itself to the collection of American art, to create a permanent collection of ceramics, to collect video art, to create a docent program and to hire the now internationally-known architect I.M. Pei to design its building, a sculptural work of art in its own right. The Everson is home to approximately 11,000 works of art: American paintings, sculpture, drawings, video, graphics and one of the largest holdings of international ceramics in the nation.

MICHAEL BATTY “BRIDGES” – An Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition At Mark Moore Fine Art Opening May 9^th

@MarkMooreGallery is pleased to announce the premier of Canadian Artists, Michael Batty’s new paintings entitled “Bridges”. Comprised of four separate canvas panels, these new works are a continuation of his exploration with color equations. In the new works the colors span the width of the painting and through color tone and subtle relationships appear to have overlapping tones that build the image. The expanse of the upper panel offers a resting place for the eye and brings in a new element to these geometric paintings, an association to the landscape, horizon, and sky.

“Bridges” have long been metaphorically associated with connecting two separate entities, ideas, or places, making a journey from one to another possible. They symbolize transition, progress, and the ability to overcome obstacles. By creating compositions that reflect this, Michael Batty’s new works are infused with a new layer of meaning, inviting viewers to contemplate the significance of connection, transition, and the journey from one state to another.

Michael Batty (Canadian, born 1967)  graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver in 1989 with a major in painting. He attended the renowned artist workshops in Emma Lake, Saskatchewan, and studied printmaking at The Art Institute at Capilano College in Vancouver. Batty’s paintings can be found in collections around the world, including the Waldorf Astoria in Beijing, China, W Guangzhou, China, Four Seasons, Dubai, UAE, and Bank of Montreal in Calgary and Toronto.
