THE JOHN RUSKIN PRIZE | HISTORY & LEGACY

Seeing the Unseen, Hearing the Unspoken | The 6th John Ruskin Prize

The John Ruskin Prize is a multi-disciplinary art prize in the UK. With the values of the radical C19th polymath John Ruskin at its core, the Ruskin Prize has a growing reputation for supporting and promoting artists, designers and makers whose work defies easy categorisation.

The Prize was inaugurated in 2012 by The Guild of St. George and visual literacy charity, The Big Draw. Organised and delivered by The Big Draw, the prize aims to reflect a central thread of John Ruskin’s thought; as a writer and artist - and as an impassioned critic, not only of art but of society and life - he believed that art has the power to reveal and celebrate universal truths, and that a good artist and maker in any medium should always be guided by that search.

Imagine a sanctuary where we embark on a collective journey to rediscover pleasure and joy in the aftermath of a transformative period in human history. How does art create the conditions for self-care, community care, and care for our shared environment?Juried by Svea Lin Soll this exhibition envisions a future built on collective effort and understanding, and celebrates our unwavering capacity to find solace, beauty, and meaning in the face of adversity.

The Summer Exhibition is our annual celebration of art and artists, run without interruption since 1769.

This year, celebrated British painter David Remfry RA takes the reins as exhibition co-ordinator. Remfry’s Summer Exhibition will explore the theme Only Connect, taken from the famous quote in Howards End by E.M. Forster.

The Summer Exhibition shows every imaginable medium – from prints, paintings, film and photography to sculpture, architectural works and more – by leading artists, Royal Academicians and household names as well as new and emerging talent. Most of the works are available to buy and sales from the Summer Exhibition directly support the exhibiting artists and the RA's charitable work, including training the next generation of artists in the Royal Academy Schools.

Our Friends preview days take place on 9 June, 10am–9pm and 10–11 June, 10am-6pm.

Las Laguna Gallery presents Climate Changing.

For this in-gallery and online exhibition the gallery is seeking

works that explore subjects related to climate change.

Works for this show can explore the various solutions or problems with the current issues of climate. Ideally the works could convey an idea that climate action is urgent and attainable. The goal of this exhibition is to engage, encourage and inspire individuals and businesses to act.

On the exhibition

ECOLOGY AS A FEELING

While the climate exchange rages, we turn our attention to nature and to others

forms of life and we begin to think deeply about the feelings that are triggered in

human beings when they come into contact with the elements, animals and plants, etc.

The artist's emotions and visions can be overwhelming. So art can help us

to address current issues from a new perspective in this delicate balance

through feelings, such as love or optimism, but also anger when something

you love is damaged and values such as ethics.

The Surface Design Association's "Southwest Regional Exhibition"

is a juried exhibit of artwork created by SDA Members residing in the

inclusion in this exhibit. SDA is an international organization focused on

Three Nudes by Blair Martin Cahill

1st Place winner:

“This gorgeous piece seemed pretty from a distance but upon closer examination, it just wows! The detailed embroidery work, the neutrals with the vibrant color highlighting the focal point in just the right way. The wonderful design that feels balanced and just right. As the daughter of a textile artist, I know how difficult this is to achieve. Brilliant!” Angela Bandurka

Starting this weekend, The Studio Door welcomes the textile artistry of BLAIR MARTIN CAHILL to the gallery! Delicate embroidered art pieces, including this sphere of dissected steel with layers of silk hoops, will provide a unique addition to serious art collections.

The upcoming winter FRESH! group show with have the theme "Naked! What’s nu(de) in contemporary art" with guest artists who will explore the concept of the nude in contemporary art. 

Artists selected are Michele Voigt, Erik Durant, Maggie Parvaneh, Joseph O'Neill, Fransisco Palomares, Bruno Perillo, Blair Martin Cahill, Michel Leroy, Ajuan Song, HakChul Kim, Christopher Parrott.

The figure, specifically the nude, is arguably the most widely used subject matter in the history of art. From the Venus of Willendorf and Ancient Greece to Picasso and Giacometti, the nude figure has been used formally and conceptually to represent not only the model, but the emotions and ideals of their times and places. In this global world, what does it mean to use the nude in our modern age, particularly with the advent of new materials and technologies, both in the creation and spread of the artwork. How has the tradition carried over, and how has it changed to reflect our society?

Historically the nude was viewed in a more “heroic” fashion; from Antiquity to the Renaissance, while there were female nudes, the male nude dominated. There begins a shift in the 1600s and by the turn of the 19th century the landscape of nudes are almost entirely women, a lineage that we are still following today. What is it about the shift in modernity that has shifted the idea of the nude from “heroism” to “vulnerability” or simply more blatant “objectification”.

Viewing these artworks allows us a lens with which to see how each culture interprets beauty differently. From the Reubeneque figures to the airbrushed and photoshopped images we see today, how can the way we deal with the figure show us what our modern conceptions of beauty tell us about ourselves? How do the physical characteristics of the human body define a societies’ values? What are the values that society deems important enough to put into art?

CraftHiltonHead2018, Art League’s 6th National Juried Fine Arts Craft Guild Exhibition, which occurs once every two years, will showcase over one hundred 2 and 3-dimensional craft works of featured artists from around the country, competing for over $4,000 in cash awards. The selection of the finalists will be by two nationally-recognized jurors, Linda Bloom and Patricia Willcox.

Brooklyn Waterfront Artist Coalition:

 an expression of culture, art is often unconventional and rebellious; experimental and insightful.Yet, art by necessity relies upon familiar traditions to achieve its unconventional ends.This is why the better we know our traditions, the more cleverly we can break them.

The annual exhibition, Material Matters, asks artists who work in a variety of traditional materials — clay, glass, wood, metal or fiber/textile — to consider the traditions underpinning their work and the rules and conventions they break in method or material. Artists are invited to submit original works that change traditional “ways of seeing” by demonstrating a break with the past or suggesting a new way forward, whether toward logical or illogical conclusions.

Opening Reception October 6th 1:00-6:00 pm
