The Creative Spark
NOVEMBER 20th - DECEMBER 3
The Creative Spark opens at Meyer Gallery on November 20th, bringing together twenty-three artists who treat art history as raw material rather than a rulebook. Curators Natalie Featherston and Anthony Waichulis built the show around a simple conviction: technical mastery and tradition are the foundation of originality, not a limit on it. Every artist here has studied the old methods closely enough to know what to keep and what to break. The result is work that carries centuries of craft forward into subjects and sensibilities entirely of this moment. This is not a nostalgia show. It is proof that the past keeps generating new art, as long as someone is willing to wrestle with it.
CURRENT CATALOG
Jacob A. Pfeiffer: Inner Child
In Inner Child, Jacob A. Pfeiffer works within the visual language
that has long defined his paintings, a world in which ordinary
objects seem charged with their own private logic. Toys and familiar
household forms occupy his still lifes with an almost theatrical
presence. Objects tilt, hover, and press against one another, while
scale and gravity break the rules of reality.
Inner Child is on view October 9 - 22.
Artist Reception to meet Jacob on Friday October 9, from 4 - 6 pm.
UPCOMING SOLO EXHIBITION
Natalie Featherston: Dutch Treats and Other Delights
Natalie Featherston paints in a unique and detailed tradition. Trompe l'oeil demands a strange kind of patience. Every fold of paper, every scuff on a wood panel, every glint of glass has to earn its place, or the whole illusion falls apart. Featherston has spent her career on that discipline, and in this new body of work she turns it toward the Dutch still life painters of the 1600s. Rich surfaces and hushed light, dance around objects and rich humors.
Dutch Treats and Other Delights is on view October 23 - November 5.
Artist Reception to meet Jacob on Friday October 23, from 4 - 6 pm.
