This is an invitational exhibit of Contemporary Chinese Ink Painting curated by Tiffany Wai-Ying Beres, a scholar of contemporary and traditional Asian art.
Gardens are places to explore the relationship between nature, culture and place. Over the centuries, Chinese, Japanese and Korean poets and artists have imbued a variety of plants and animals with auspicious meanings and scholarly virtues. Paintings and texts are inspired by the resilience and beauty of nature’s flora and fauna.
This exhibition presents a selection of contemporary ink paintings inspired by the evocative and emotive qualities of nature. Artists were asked to select flowers, birds, fish, insects, or landscapes as their principal subjects but to build upon the literal representation to find deeper layers of meaning. Planting ideas as the seeds of this garden, artists are asked to find a different way of approaching these traditional subjects; whether it is the addition of a poetic colophon, experimenting with different kinds of ink representation, adding additional mixed media, each work should have a personal resonance with the artist. By finding an idiosyncratic stylistic approach, each artwork offers a unique take on a shared theme: a celebration of the natural world.

Contemporary Expressionism -
The Creative Spirit Exhibit 

Picture
Opening reception:
Sept 13 5-8 PM, free
Lyceum Gallery, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego, CA
Exhibition dates: Sept 7 - Oct 13 2013

In conjunction with the play A Weekend with Pablo Picasso, the San Diego Museum of Art Artists Guild presents the juried exhibition Contemporary Expressionism: The Creative Spirit at Lyceum Gallery, San Diego, California.
 
Often focusing on the internal world of emotion and spirituality, or on identity and protest, Expressionism has many faces.  This exhibition seeks to explore the many different approaches to this fascinating form of art-making.
 
The term Expressionism was first applied to the Parisian painting that followed Post-Impressionism at the turn of the 19th century.  Throughout the 20th century, Expressionism was applied to various figurative and abstract movements, from the German Expressionists, to Picasso and the Cubists, to Abstract Expressionism, Art Informel, Bay Area Figuration, and Neo-Expressionism.

About the Show

Two San Diego artists, Rosemary KimBal and Portia La Touche, have passed on the tradition of Brush Painting in the Asian Manner from Master to Pupil and created a body of Contemporary Zen Art and a legacy which is carried forward from one generation of artists to the next. The intention of this exhibit is to express the importance of learning from the past, as is the practice in traditional Contemporary Zen Painting, and then once skilled, leaping forward to define one’s own way. Our art embraces the essence of Zen, and then we have made it our own by adding a contemporary inspiration. This is a beautiful, meditative art form to be enjoyed on many levels – visceral, spiritual, or simply visual. In business we learn from the successes of others, but in the end we must create something new that is our own. This exhibit is our way of illustrating the process of passing on passion and skill from Master to Pupil to inspire others to create their own legacies – in business and in art.
