Guess what? My painting that was on view at the @barnesfoundation last month for #letsconnectphilly is also part of ‘Still Standing’ at @paradigmgs - if you didn’t have a chance to see it in person at the museum and would like to, stop by the gallery 12-6 today (or any Tues/Thurs/Sat through September 15th) 🚶🏻‍♀️ “Staged A Walkout”, 2018, oil on canvas, 8”x10” 📷: @thatchinesekid (at Paradigm Gallery + Studio)

Jason and I in one of our favorite rooms at The Barnes. Thanks for having us @barnesfoundation and @muralarts! #Repost @barnesfoundation ・・・ The #LetsConnectPhilly winners will be announced this Thursday, June 14! For our last curator feature, we’ve got Sara and Jason, co-founders and curators of Paradigm Gallery + Studio, which provides an artistic space for emerging Philadelphia artists in visual and performing arts. ⠀ ⠀ When it comes to curating, they said, the sentiment of buying what you love, “plays a huge part in how we curate. It’s also about balancing common, complementary themes." To them, projects like #LetsConnectPhilly, are a learning opportunity for both the experts and the general public. "Art should be accessible. Projects like this help people feel less intimidated by art."⠀ To emerging artists who're looking to have their work exhibited they advise to, "Be true to your aesthetic, but don’t get stuck. Keep an open mind and be good to your fellow artists. Learn from them, teach them, collaborate with them. Always do your research on galleries that you are interested in showing with. Presentation is everything. A neatly designed portfolio or website goes a long way." ⠀ 📷: @ssscorvus (at The Barnes Foundation)

Gearing up for Let’s Connect Philly! Drawing inspiration from Claude Monet’s Madame Monet Embroidering, 1875. This piece is so serene - it captures the feeling of every day life, which is amazing to me because 143 years later a painting of a very different time can still evoke a sense of familiarity. A quiet, peaceful day doing something creative and passing time.

If you don’t know what Let’s Connect Philly is, click here to learn more! https://www.letsconnectphilly.org/

You’ll be able to see my sculpture, as well as many other talented artists in Philly and their interpretations of the artwork that inspires them within the Barnes collection.

If anyone hasn’t been to the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia yet, you are missing out on something special. So excited to be part of this event!

📣📣📣Hello! #letsconnectphilly voter registration is open, https://www.letsconnectphilly.org/ for free access to the @barnesfoundation and to cast a ballot. About my submission: I chose Courbet's Woman with White Stockings as my point of departure for the piece I created because I've always been drawn to the artist's work and how he chose to depict real people and snapshots of moments in every day life. His work representing the female nude challenged the standards of the time, breaking away from the idealized and glorified unrealistic representations of women. In Woman with White Stockings, from the description on The Barnes' site, "a hint of narrative heightens the erotic effect. While the sexual act is not shown, it is implied. The nude looks seductively at a presence outside the frame-this is perhaps a moment post-copulation, as she sits awkwardly pulling on her clothes. The setting is strange, uncomfortable, as she leans near a precipice and rests her naked bottom next to a dirt path. This is not nature in harmony with the female body, a la Renoir, but rather nature used, hastily, as a place for sex." My painting builds on this visually, but my intention was to put the woman in more of a position of power. She is not immersed or in harmony with a bather-in-landscape setting, rather the landscape fades into the background and melts into an interior space as she stands and dresses confidently. Unlike Courbet's painting, her genitalia is not on display and the implied storyline isn't as direct, though the peek under her skirt and the act of dressing leaves the narrative up for potentially erotic interpretation. My painting aims to symbolically leave objectification in the past while acknowledging the impossibility of that task, as women performing benign every day acts are always sexualized.

Barnes Update! Top 20

#LetsConnectPhilly #Art #PhillyArtDepot

Update! Recently  I wrote about the Let’s Connect! art show at Philadelphia’s famed Barnes Collection. My hipster postman mixed-media painting, “Mind, Heart, Soul” placed among the top 20 artworks out of over 310 paintings at the show. I was especially happy to see my friend Tim Barton also make the cut with his stellar wooden folk box. As a result, this…
