PSYCHOMACHIA: Thanks to Jerry & Perihelion!

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Thanks to Perihelion Arts!HINDSIGHT

I have been a bit remiss about blogging lately, but I promise to try to catch up this week.  There is so much going on, and I can’t wait to share it all with you.  I have TWO new bodies of work in progress: Typ(e)ical and another 115+ piece show that doesn’t quite have a name yet.

But, before I start a week’s worth of posts about the future… I want to take just a moment to say “Thank You” to Jerry Portelli, my collaborator on Psychomachia… and forever my dear friend.  And another “thank you” goes to Perihelion Arts in Phoenix, AZ for taking a chance on our show.  The documented photos of the show and the individual pieces have yet to be released; however, the official portrait of us at our opening is below, courtesy of Jerry.  Enjoy!

Jerry and Rachel proudly pose on night 2 of the Psychomachia opening!

GREED BEING REVEALED

Many of you have asked that I show images from the reveal process of Xerography.  Below is an image of the reveal of Greed from the Psychomachia show, from which I posted a cropped version. Can you see the ghostly image?  A face, maybe?
Note:  Those of you who are interested in learning more about art and photography may find this list of online colleges helpful. It is interesting to learn about photography from many people’s perspectives.

Of all the shows across the country that I have been a small part of over the years, I have received more feedback from the Arts in the Airport series than any other.  Note: Some people ponder a masters degree online when they want to take advanced art courses. Whether you were part of this exhibit or want to someday be a part of another exhibit, extra knowledge is helpful.

I was an exhibiting artist in the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 shows, and I regularly heard from fans of my work that they saw my pieces while traveling through Knoxville. 

Such a treat it has been. 

 

I am going to work on an entry for this next call.  To all of my fellow TN artists… take a minute to enter.  There is no entry fee and the exposure is great.

CALL for ENTRIES:  Arts in the Airport

The Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville and the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority (McGhee Tyson Airport) announce a call for entries for the next “Arts in the Airport”, a juried exhibition developed to allow regional artists to compete and display work in the most visited site in the area. The selected art will feature contemporary 2- and 3-dimensional artwork and will be exhibited in the secured area behind McGhee Tyson Airport’s security gate checkpoint from April 21 – October 20, 2011.

VISITING ARTIST Possibilities

My child cannot cook. In his defense, he is a brilliant, nerdy eleven year old that loves to read and dance and play video games. He makes great grades… but some things escape him.

He will be so mad when he finds out I posted this one day, but… I left him with the responsibility to microwave a frozen meal for his lunch while I was busy blogging one day. Moments later he came to me and said, “I pushed the button, and it didn’t open.”

Yep, you know the little perforated semi-circle on the back of the box that you’re supposed to push in to create a thumb hole that allows you to rip the box open? MmmHmm, in his literal little mind, there was apparently supposed to be an auto open once he pushed the button. We laugh now, but talk to me in ten years. It won’t be funny if he’s still living with me then. He just needs guidance about nuance, right? He just needs to understand not everything is literal? This Call may allow you to pass along a little instruction to someone that needs the guidance.

PSYCHOMACHIA: Wrath of the Knife Thrower

MAKE ME ANGRY!

Thank you for all the feedback on the Psychomachia sneak previews. I really appreciate your patience on seeing the full images.

Here’s another cropped
piece of the puzzle…
Wrath, The Knife Thrower!

I’ve been working on Psychomachia show for 1 1/2 years now, and we have booked the opening at Perihelion Arts on March 31st of 2011. Psychomachia is a series of fourteen pieces from myself and Arizona artist photographer Jerry Portelli.

I have 14 of the images completed.

Although I still have to finish the reveals. This work reinterprets the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Holy Virtues in a series of 14 diptychs, one from me and one from artist Jerry Portelli. The aesthetic theme is the sideshow freak from the circus and fairs of yesteryear–nature’s artwork, if you will.
