Fontana | McCormick | Naccarato & Stein
11.30.07 through 12.23.07 - Opening reception Friday, November 30th, 7-10pm
NOTE: The artists will be painting live in the gallery both tonight and Saturday evening!
“After several years of working and showing together, these four west coast artists come together for “Children’s Hour” (A collaborative exploration of children’s fables, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes). Work produced at live painting events, through the course of friendship, and a workshop like comradery for each others painting techniques, inspired the pursuit of a more focused collaborative effort. Without the time constraints [a usual tendency of live painting events], it was agreed that the resulting work had become more than the sum of it’s parts, in addition to telling it’s own type of unique folk tale.
“With this presentation we invite you into our working world. The four of us have come together and bonded over our love for spending every possible moment making art. With a completed series of works, combined with live painting the night of the opening and the following day, we hope to give you a glimpse into our reality.
During the last few decades cascading waves of entertainment minutia continue to gain momentum, leaving few pastime gratifications that have a lasting effect on society. Children’s narrative, whether fable or lullabye, story or song, has increasingly become a victim. An increasing homogenization of adult and child demeanor has rendered classic tales almost obsolete. With “Children’s Hour,” we’ve come together in collaboration to show appreciation for what we believe should remain timeless and relative.”
Thanks and hope to see you there.” - Blaine, Tim, James & Jophen.
