Thanks to the Midwest Paint Group site for tipping me off to this show.
Saw this, many of the the Southards are terrific, as they were at his last LW show. He’s an old teacher of mine, I get a lot from his work and don’t think I’m the only one. These glow in a very particular way.
Lots of painting doesn’t fly in reproduction. Unfortunately, his work REALLY doesn’t fly in reproduction. See these if you can.
Agree with John about how different Don’s paintings look in reproduction. It’s double true for Stanley Lewis’s paintings; the one you’ve have up looks positively serene compared to its’ corrugated, man-handled appearance in the flesh…In any case, a show well-worth seeing if painting from the motif is an interest…
yes, good show. I have been a fan of Jeremy Long’s paintings for a few years now.
The Lewis may look overly-serene here, surface-wise, but even in reproduction it carries a kind of shock that so much of his work does; as if you are seeing through his eyes, to something mundane, even messy, but revelatory. The materiality of vision in his work is a knockout.
I agree about Stanley Lewis and the intensity of his vision. It’s like every little thing was wrestled into being.
