Gary Chapman, 
Charcoal: A Painter's Approach to Drawing
August 5-6, 2015
Cost: VAST Members, $110
Non-members $145

Students will develop a personal approach to loose, aggressive mark-making with a combination of additive and subtractive techniques using charcoal and erasers. While charcoal will be the primary medium, eventually students will be encouraged to combine other  dry and wet media such as conte crayon, ink and gesso. The class will focus on mark making as it relates to abstraction, and later students will explore the different ways these same techniques can be applied to observational drawing.

Gary Chapman is a Professor of Painting and Drawing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham; he received his MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BA and BS from Berea College.


Chapman has had over 50 solo exhibitions with institutions such as The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, University of Cincinnati, University of Georgia, and University of Miami. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions with regional, national and international venues.

Chapman's work has received recognition and awards from such notable figures as Ned Rifkin, Dennis Barrie, John Ravenal, Annette Carlozzi and Jack Cowart. In 2008, his work was selected and published in the book Alabama Masters: Artists and Their Work. He has received numerous grants and fellowships including a 1996 National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Painting from the Southern Arts Federation, and the Individual Artist Fellowships from the Alabama State Council on the Arts (2001 and 1994). His work has been reviewed extensively and is published in over 20 catalogs and books including the 3rd, 16th and 52nd editions of New American Paintings.

Enter the Matrix; Indigenous Printmakers 

Oklahoma University in Norman presents:

Enter the Matrix; indigenous Printmakers

June 4, 2015 - January 2, 2016

 

NORMAN, OKLA. - A new printmak ing exhibition featuring Native American, First Nations, Maori and South African indigenous artists debuts at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art on the Unive rsity of Oklahoma Norman campus June 4 and runs through January 2, 2016. Enter the Matrix: Indigenous Printmaking explores how printmaking has become a matrix for cultural and artistic exchange, identifies critical sites where engagement has occurred and features key figures who have contributed toward this exchange. 

 

"In the last 20 years, printmaking has become a medium

Dennis Belindo, Kiowa Blackleggins, serigraph, 1990

facilitating global cultural exchange for indigenous artists," Heather Ahtone (Assistant Curator, Native American and Non-Western Art) said. "Historically, for oral- based cultural communities, paper has been used as a weapon of cultural dominance, facilitating dispossession of lands and forced cultural assimilation. For indigenous artists, using paper as a medium for artistic expression has become a significant form of self determination that fosters dialogue about issues of culture and identity, contributing to cultural survival."

Mindy Faubion
Paintings by Mindy Faubion
Art by James J. Johnson
On display starting June-September.

Mindy's Artist Statement: 
"My art is more than a reproduction of what I photograph or see. It makes visible the art in nature and in us. I enjoy detail, realistic imagery, and lots of color! I use watercolor and pastels to paint macro images that magnify the variety of shapes, colors, lines, and textures that are found in nature along with our unique and colorful nature as individuals."
Coordinator for exhibit:  Lin Hampton at linhamptonart@gmail.com
 
"Noble Visions" exhibition at 
Barnes & Noble Booksellers Cafe  Golden Triangle Mall 
Photography by Randy Honeycutt
The exhibit will be on display through June 30th. 
Reception: May 21, 7-9pm

Color and Texture, digital photo art
Randy Honeycutt

After 50 years of experimentation in the photography field, musician and artist Randy Honeycutt, has found that technology now allows him to take his art beyond the traditional photograph. It is with his current work aided by an IPad, that he can allow the viewer to finally "see" what his vision is. Through the use of an IPad and his personal photographs, Honeycutt can not only capture color and light, but develop a narrative in the piece. The iPad is a tool he has with him at all times; it allows for freedom to experiment, try different textures, processes and colors. 


 
The focus of Randy Honeycutt's work has been on local musicians with whom Honeycutt has performed. In recognition of these musicians' creativity and generosity, Honeycutt's "Local Musicians Series I", came into being. He finds that through the musician, and now his digitally enhanced work, the performance can truly be seen.

VAST Artist Day Out is a day where members may come paint at the CVA from 9:00am - 3pm, approximately two mornings a month.  There is no instructor, it is not a workshop...just an art gathering. 

 

You may paint, sketch, quilt or what ever creative endeavor you desire in the fellowship with your artist friends.  Lunch and fellowship are the best parts!

The cost is $10 a year, or $1 a session if you just want to drop in every now and then.  Pay with your dues, or you can send $10 to:
