May Gallery Show Theme: "Flight & Motion: Symbolic Journeys" Judge: Alton DuLaney (Judge's Bio) Visit the WAS-H Gallery to see all of the "moving" paintings! |
1st Place: "Spirit Flight" by Carol Andrews I encourage you all to look closely at this piece if you have a chance. From a distance, there are some colors that are muted tones. It's not very vibrant. But the closer you get to this piece, the more movement you see in this piece…. They’ve gone in with layers and layers, different medias, different strokes, and different marks all over this. And the more you get into it, it just gets deeper and deeper and deeper. 2nd Place: "Big Questions" by Susan Giannantonio You can see [motion] in this piece… we don't know if there's a fight going on, or love-making, or dancing, or what is happening here. But undeniably, there is something going on, and there's a lot of energy and movement, which I really, really appreciate. 3rd Place: "Unaccustomed Earth" by Pam Soileau There's a lot of color going on. I feel like this is some kind of aurora borealis. I don't typically like this kind of pour painting… but in this case, I think the artist really did a great job… [with] just the movement and the color, and there's a vibration to it. Honorable Mentions: "Going Places" by Regina West I think we can all relate to [this work]. We’ve all probably been there … when we're kids and flapping our arms, like, we think we're going to take flight… there's a lot of optimism and energy captured … Even the way the light of the shadow falls. "Breath of Landscape" by Katherine Rodgers Really beautiful work…. Everything about this is moving; the clouds are moving. The fact that there's a horizon in it shows that we're on a planet that's moving… And then the colors on the bottom … it could almost be a blur of lights going by quickly. Something about that landscape just really spoke to me. "1940 Air Terminal Museum" by Paul Shain The main thing I liked about [this piece] is that you can tell this is on a page from his sketchbook. So, he's out in plein air, on the scene, and then rips this piece out of his sketchbook and puts it in [the frame]. I like the architecture, it includes … This was, of course, the Houston Municipal Airport, which has been the 1940 Air Terminal Museum. |
