Embassy Events 2003
"Journeys from Home" Journeys to Warsaw
14 November 2003 |
The U.S. Embassy
is pleased to sponsor a unique collection of contemporary paintings
representing the theme "Journeys from Home" by four American artists.
The works will be on exhibit from November 18 to December 6 at the Dom
Dochodowy, Aleje Ujazdowskie 51, in Warsaw.
In the exhibit, each
artist explores the idea of "home" using her own approach to paint
handling, her own vocabulary of forms, and her own vision. Cultural
identity, each artist's roots, and her identification with locations
undoubtedly have had some influence on these efforts.
Nena
Gonzalez Thayer develops "home" as it relates to her ancestral and
cultural roots. Eleanor Kotlarik Wang searches for the essence of
spaces while exploring forms from nature. Sheep Jones investigates the humble shed as "home" as she explores its role in rural landscapes and in the passage of time. And Beverly Ryan takes a look at the psychological side of our "home" in western culture.
All
the artists share an interest in art theory and its relationship to
their creation of authentic and meaningful work. This collection of
paintings offers a unique view of America -- a country of numerous
nationalities, a destination for people from diverse cultures who have
come to seek new lives and create new homes.
Journeys from Home" is also sponsored by Polswiss Art Dom Aukcyjny.
