The International Guild of Realism champions realism in fine art through museum exhibitions, gallery shows, workshops, and education for its members. One of the mainstays has been its annual Juried Exhibition, which will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year. The show will happen through October 31 at Principle Gallery’s Charleston, South Carolina, location and it will bring together paintings by more than 100 high-caliber artists.
“As an original charter member of the International Guild of Realism, I am thrilled to see the amazing growth within IGOR over the past 16 years. IGOR is definitely a major player in the resurgence of academic realism in fine art,” says founding charter member Don Clapper. “Our juried membership represents some of the very best realists in the world, and this year’s 15th annual show is one of our best shows to date in terms of quality and number of paintings, with 111 artworks from 107 IGOR artists. Our juried membership hails not only from North America but also from over 35 countries around the world.”
The pieces in the show will range from Trompe l’Oeil to figures and landscapes, with everything from traditional to contemporary techniques represented. Included in the show are paintings by artists such as Anna Wypych, Carmen Drake, Gulay Berryman, Kathleen S. Giles, Patricia McMahon Rice, and Ryan Jacque.

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
