Sep 1
- Nov 11, 2016
The juror will be asked to select work (both two and three dimensional) that reflects and expresses the theme of 'contemporary landscape' while demonstrating creativity, strength of execution, and overall artistic excellence with the goal of selecting a well-rounded exhibit that showcases a broad range of artistic style and interpretation.
All artists using visual media are eligible to enter the Horizon exhibition. All media will be considered with the exception of live or performance art. All work must have been completed since January of 2012 and not previously shown in any other Community Arts Center exhibitions. All works must be for sale.
ABOUT THE JUROR:
Isaac Powell is a graduate of the MFA program at Washington State University who teaches painting and drawing at Eastern Kentucky University. Powell interweaves the themes of life, growth, reproduction, and creativity with those of his own personal history in his still life and landscape depictions. Having been born without a right hand, the flora in his work directly references the body, its appendages and digits. By addressing his own anxieties through the imagery of plant cuttings and graftings, he has developed his own vocabulary for confronting both awkwardness and beauty. Powell's work has been exhibited recently at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., as well as the prestigious Armory Show in New York City. In addition, his work was featured in VSA's Revealing Culture exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution's International Gallery. Other notable recent exhibitions include those at Gallery 1724 in Houston Texas, Blackfish Gallery in Portland Oregon, and in Cincinnati Ohio at Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center. In 2005 Powell was awarded $20,000 for his work "Growthplate" which was exhibited at the S. Dillon Ripley Center of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. Powell has taught at Eastern since 2009 and just received promotion and tenure.
