Spring Showcase

The International Guild of Realism’s Spring Salon Online Exhibition will feature more than 200 paintings by artists from around the globe.

Telling Tales

The figure is one of the classic images in paintings, ranging from simple sketches that hone in on the anatomy to large-scale narratives that are relatable or otherworldly. In the April exhibition, The Art of the Figure, at RJD Gallery in Bridgehampton, New York, four artists— Aneka Ingold, Daniela Werneck, Geoffrey Laurence and Tor-Arne Moen—will present artwork that often melds the classic and contemporary. The pieces will dive into age-old techniques, while the stories and themes are often rooted in today’s world.

Southern Traditions

While many of us celebrate a plethora of life moments and holidays throughout the year, Wells Gallery out of South Carolina invites viewers to honor themes of tradition, “a custom passed down from generation to generation,” explains gallery director Emily Wagner. “We have cultural traditions and family traditions, and each contributes to a sense of practice and belonging.”

Art of the Sole

For the past 20 years, artist Adam Port has been creating pop culture and sports art in incredibly precise detail. His style, more known as photorealism, has always been a strong interest for him going back as far as early childhood. The world of sports has also been quite an inspiration for Port’s work, as an avid sporting event attender and also as an athlete.

Animal Instincts

French artist Valéry Vecu Quitard’s love of animals is on full display in his whimsical realistic paintings. His works, which are done in a Trompe l’Oeil style where the portrait of the animal is silhouetted within a hand-painted wall or frame, anthropomorphize any number of creatures from rabbits and birds to mice and tigers. The pieces are typically painted on a smaller scale and are “meant to be a hymn to benevolence, naiveté and bonhomie.”

Baroque Beauty

The Concept of Self

Painter Jen Mann’s new show is a twisty-turny​ spiral into an almost absurd amount of meta reflection—paintings of other paintings, of art galleries, mirrors, fake magazine covers, film stills of films that don’t exist, self-portraits of self-portraits— but deep down in her hyper-colored world of self-satire and fourth-wall-breaking imagery is a mirror that is aimed not at Mann, but the viewer.

Stretching The Imagination

While painting relies fundamentally on its ability to create a threedimensional illusion through a combination of elements like volume and perspective, the medium of sculpture utilizes a literal three-dimensional space through shape and movement of the physical form.
