National Wet Paint Exhibition
I will be showing work at the Zhou B. Art Center in Chicago in the National Wet Paint Exhibition through February.
The following is taken from the event press release:
Exhibitions Dates: January 15 to February 28, 2010
Opening Date/Reception: Friday, January 15th, 2010 from 7 pm to 10 pm
Event Description:
The National Wet Paint Exhibition is an outlook and an overview of emerging
artists across the United States currently working in the medium of painting. Wet
Paint refers to the idea that this is a fresh group of artists. They are MFA (Masters of
Fine Arts) candidates and recent MFA recipients working primarily in the medium
of painting.
2010 marks the first decade of the 21st Century. Under the watchful eye of a
technology driven society, online social networking and cyber interaction
communities, emerging artists have been evolving and redefining one of the
oldest mediums of art, painting.
The National Wet Paint Exhibition consists of 52 paintings by artists selected from a
national call which resulted in 255 submissions. The exhibition takes place in the
6000 sq/ft main gallery of the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago’s Bridgeport
neighborhood. The Zhou B Art Center is a private, non-government funded art
center designed to facilitate the exchange of contemporary art between
Chicago and the international art community. The 87,000 square feet art center
offers innumerable possibilities for exploring the arts in a charismatic location and
collectively form an extravagant art center fusing culture and creativity.
All the works in the exhibition will be permanently available online at
www.VisualArtToday.com. The National Wet Paint Exhibition was curated and
organized by Sergio Gomez, independent curator at the Zhou B Art Center.
