Penelope Umbrico: “Mountains, Moving: Light Leaks, and Chemical Burns” | An ARTSY Legacy Exhibition On View Now

Mark Moore Fine Art is very pleased to present an Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition of Penelope Umbrico: Mountains, Moving: Light Leaks, and Chemical Burns as part of our new ARTSY LEGACY SERIES of exhibitions. These are the artists and shows over the last 15 years on ARTSY that have been the most acclaimed and the most viewed by their patrons and art critics.

PENELOPE UMBRICO offers a radical reinterpretation of everyday consumer and vernacular images. Umbrico works “within the virtual world of consumer marketing and social media, traveling through the relentless flow of seductive images, objects, and information that surrounds us, searching for decisive moments—but in these worlds, decisive moments are cultural absurdities.”

Penelope Umbrico (born in Philadelphia, 1957) graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, and received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. She has participated extensively in solo and group exhibitions, including at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York. Umbrico is core faculty in the School of Visual Arts MFA Photography, Video, and Related Media Program. Selected public collections include the Guggenheim Museum (NY), International Center of Photography (NY), McNay Museum of Art (TX), Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY), Museum of Contemporary Photography (IL), Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (CA), Museum of Modern Art (NY), and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), among others. She lives in New York City.

MICHAEL BATTY: BRIDGES – an exclusive ARTSY online exhibition COMING SOON

Posted on April 25, 2024 | Leave a comment

Michael Batty in his studio in Vancouver April 2024

🖼️ART EXHIBITION ALERT🎨: COMING SOON – @MarkMooreGallery pleased to introduce the newest work by Canadian painter Michael Batty titled BRIDGES in an exclusive ARTSY online exhibition opening in May.

Comprised of four separate canvas panels, these new works are a continuation of his exploration with colour equations. In the new works the colours span the width of the painting and through colour 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 has been an artist for over 35 years, primarily as a painter concerned with abstraction.

Michael Batty 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.

Closing Sunday: MEHGAN SMYTHE “RECENT EXPLORATIONS IN CERAMIC SCULPTURE” | An Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition On View Now

MEHGAN SMYTHE: RECENT EXPLORATIONS IN CERAMIC SCULPTURE | An Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition On View Now

We are proud to present the new ceramic works of Meghan Smythe in her exclusive ARTSY exhibition, “Recent Explorations in Ceramic Sculpture”. Through her use of traditional monument format, Smythe captures the delicate balance between intimacy and brutality, beauty and ugliness.

VIEW THIS SHOW NOW AT: https://bit.ly/48ZMQcJ

Using a traditional sculptural format (the monument), Meghan Smythe captures contradicting extremes within human gesture: intimacy and brutality, beauty and ugliness, or the lewd and tender. In her attempt to achieve an “elegant vulgarity,” she encapsulates moments that define our mortality in unanticipated ways; oftentimes toeing the delicate line between erotic and macabre tendencies that give way to life, and ultimately death. Glass, ceramic, and concrete are woven together in an elaborate, orgy-like web of body parts and organic artifacts, as if suddenly cast with Pompeii-like circumstances. Like excavated antiquities or fossils, Smythe’s ceramic compositions allude to the cyclical nature of civilization – a dramedy in which all of the players are subject to conquest and demise.

Smythe (b. 1984, Kingston, ON) received her MFA from the Alfred University School of Art and Design (NY). Her work has been shown at the Arizona State University Art Museum (AZ) and the Gardiner Museum, Toronto (ON). She was the Visiting Artist in Residence at California State University, Long Beach (CA) from 2012-2014.

Since his induction into the gallery in 1995, Mark Bennett has been included in over three dozen significant museum and group exhibitions, including those at the Corcoran Gallery of Art (D.C.), Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art (CT), Walker Art Center (MN) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA). His work has been acquired for the permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art (NY), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Corcoran Gallery of Art (DC), West Collection (PA), and the Portland Art Museum (OR), among others. Earning reverence from both critics and collectors alike, Bennett has been coined a master of nostalgia and social evaluation, acting as “the most earnest of his generation of West Coast artists drawing on popular culture” (Grady T. Turner, Art in America).

MMFA Artist ZEMER PELED Featured In THE CONVERSATION on BBC

Posted on April 17, 2024 | Leave a comment

Focus: Women Making Art From Clay

The Conversation

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cszj4q

Pottery is one of the oldest and most widespread decorative arts and has enjoyed rising popularity in recent years. At the same time, ceramics are increasingly significant as contemporary art. Kim Chakanetsa talks to two ceramicists about sprigging, drying, firing and smashing; commercial collaborations; and getting their pieces in museums. 

Hitomi Hosono is a Japanese ceramicist whose delicate work sits in the British Museum and V&A. She’s also collaborated with the world-famous Wedgewood pottery manufacturer to make jasperware vases. Her ceramics, with a chalk-like finish and gold embellishments, are rooted in both Japanese and European traditions. Inspired by the intricacy of plants, leaves and flowers her pots seem to sway in the breeze and grow.

Israeli ceramicist Zemer Peled took up pottery as part of therapy after a break-up in her 20s and now exhibits at galleries and museums around the world. Her work examines the beauty and brutality of the natural world. She makes large and small-scale sculptures and installations from thousands of porcelain shards – and has a growing collection of hammers!

Check out this article from THE SCOTSMAN on “SCHOOL: The Joseph Rossano Salmon Project”: https://bit.ly/3BFOTD1

“SCHOOL” is an international traveling exhibition spearheaded and conceptualized by artist Joseph Rossano that casts light on the diminished state of global salmon and steelhead populations. 

Conceptualized and spearheaded by environmental artist Joseph Rossano, School isan international multi-media, traveling art performance and exhibition that casts light on the diminished state of global salmon and steelhead populations and the threatened habitat on which they depend. Sculpted from molten glass by concerned glassmakers from around the world—as well as first-hand video accounts from scientists, artists, and Indigenous peoples—the installation features a life-size school of mirrored salmon-like forms.

BREAKING THE CODE: A New Biographical Documentary Film About The Life Of Artist Vernon Fisher

Posted on April 16, 2024 | Leave a comment

BREAKING THE CODE: A New Biographical Documentary Film About The Life Of Artist Vernon Fisher

Best Historical Film, Dallas International Film Festival
Official Selection, Los Angeles Independent Film Festival
Official Selection, Thin Line Fest
Official Selection, Frame of Mind (PBS)

Prolepsis Pictures is proud to announce the World Premiere of “Breaking the Code”, a feature-length biographical documentary about the life of Fort Worth-based artist Vernon Fisher. We also plan to broadcast the film Texas-wide on PBS affiliate program Frame of Mind in October. 

 
Vernon Fisher has mounted major exhibitions at museums including the Smithsonian Institution, Guggenheim Museum and Museum of Modern Art in New York, among many others. He is the only Dallas-Fort Worth-born artist to receive a retrospective at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth — a space that has also hosted similar
exhibitions for artists including Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso.
 
More important than Fisher’s accomplishments, however, is the content of his art. Not only is he such a masterfully technical painter that viewers often mistake his chalkboard-style paintings as actually being made with chalk, but he is also renowned for the emotional, psychological and philosophical depth of his work.
