SUMMARY:Otis Houston Jr.: My Name is My Word
DESCRIPTION:Living in Harlem\, New York\, Otis Houston Jr. acts as an alchemist. He mixes everyday items\, movements\, and thoughts to create multimedia assemblages\, paintings\, performances\, and text-based signs. \nHouston is best known for his public performances and installation work on FDR Drive by New York’s East River\, where he has been working since 1997. These site-specific installations include his writing\, poetry\, singing\, found objects\, and fruit\, which are used as both props and materials. Otis Houston Jr.: My Name is My Word will be the artist’s first museum exhibition. \nHouston’s artistic journey began in the 1990s when he worked on a series of print-media collages while incarcerated. Since then\, he has cultivated an ongoing journaling practice\, recording his experiences and beliefs. These insights are some of his many missives and protests spray-painted on a series of towels and canvases and displayed in public spaces and performances. His work often addresses racism\, poverty\, and addiction\, while promoting messages of health\, love\, and self-acceptance. \nThe fluidity of his practice generously invites viewers to both give and receive. He encourages public engagement and accepts environmental influences in his open-air studio and stage. \n*Houston will be at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center October 3–7\, sharing his assemblage work and performances. He will be working with the exhibitions team to install some of his existing work\, while also making new work on-site. During that time\, he will have open hours to share his process and converse with visitors. After he leaves\, the gallery will close for a week as we prepare to open an exhibition of this work\, on view from October 15\, 2022–January 14\, 2023.  \n  \n  \nImage: Otis Houston Jr.\, The Thangofmajig\, 2018; found and altered objects and mixed media; 38 x 26 3/4 x 14 1/2 in.

SUMMARY:Liz Leggett: Abstractly Frenzied and Separate\, Unified by a Line
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition featuring works from Westport artist\, Liz Leggett. \nAbstract art has always been deeply rooted in the seeming undefined\, but when looking at the works of Westport artist\, Curator and mom\, Liz Leggett one encounters an apparent frenzied depiction of the depths of life on the contemporary woman who does it all and finds balance and meaning through her paint brush. \nAbstract Expressionism is not a new trend in the art world\, originally ascribed to the male artist who through his stroke and often wild application of paint reinforced his masculinity through the new movement\, understandable considering the movement begins after WWII when men came back from war and needled to elbow the women out of their jobs. But what does it mean when a contemporary artist\, and woman\, employs the same drama and dynamics to her application of paint and subject? Is it a means to equalize the art world? A way to consume and redefine patriarchal artistic language and practice? Does this type of paint application mean certain emotions\, is it all just symbolic of something else\, something more personal\, something inherent in the artist? All good questions\, and one can argue that all of the above are behind this artist’s venture in Abstract Expressionism and in so doing much of the work can be seen as a response to the questions posited here.  After Party\, for example\, presents the viewer with an initial explosion of color\, drips\, and squiggly lines\, but after closer inspection one is able to discern why the piece is titled so – martini olives are all over the place\, a green pumpkin and what could be an electric heater. With a color palette of blues\, black\,  greens and red there are levels to the piece and ways in which to interpret – the background is blue – suggesting daylight\, the day after a party and what many encounter the morning after – but in that ‘mess’ are memories\, good\, uncomfortable\, but also hassles; did the kids get enough sleep\, did we make too much noise\, “ugh\, I have to clean this mess”- was the party worth it? What is different in Leggett’s work\, unlike that of Pollack\, is she is documenting and explaining her life and what she does and in so doing she creates a new language that is not masculine\, patriarchal or expected – this is the language of Liz Leggett. Leggett’s powerful language is further seen in Holding Pen\, another large scale work that through palette and line creates a grid and other geometric shapes that in their entirety suggest a mask – is this the intent? Is this the artist\, why are some lines stronger than others\, why this palette – all these questions and others are what is central and behind any kind of abstraction – what does it all mean? Abstraction can be looked at in many ways – easily one can apply psychoanalytical theory\, color theory\, and even feminist theory\, and in the case of Liz Leggett all these theories find comfort in her work – but the greatest attribute that affords all these associations and approaches are found in her lines. It takes great courage to create a line that stands out and alone yet unifies\, and Leggett’s lines do just that\, they unify the artist and the viewer in the field of interpretation. The are the entrance into the work\, and hold everything together – they break expectation\, order\, and award the viewer with distinct vignettes into this person’s life and in so doing give meaning to what we often consider the mundane\, which though through this artist’s hand are elevated to the sublime.  \n  Save

SUMMARY:Kaethe Kauffman: Workshop at Castello 925
DESCRIPTION:Since the ’90s\, Kaethe Kauffman has worked with the female body studying and documenting its movement and creating out of this performative process\, a series of abstracted images. These artworks\, inspired by the practice of yoga\, investigate the theme of freedom by challenging the objectification by society of women’s bodies. Using string dipped in paint\, the artist ties the filament around a hand\, knee\, elbow\, or torso\, and when the body part is flexed\, the movement is recorded as an off-printing of paint on skin. In Kauffman’s art\, the body writes itself upon its own skin in a ritual of self-revelation. This act of marking and exposure is documented by Kauffman’s photographic images\, which are digitally repeated and colored\, drawn upon by hand in a variety of media and the vibrant results are printed on silk much like the large banners found in Buddhist temples. In an expansion of the body’s own “speech” through movement\, Kaethe Kauffman’s images combine into larger fields of replication and mirroring\, until the individual body is subsumed into a larger vision. \nKaethe Kauffman’s solo exhibition Yoga: Interiore Eterno at Castello 925\, Venice Italy will feature a workshop about abstraction and movement involving audience members.\nDuring this workshop the audience will have the opportunity to become a both a model for the artist and a participant in her creative process. \n  Save

SUMMARY:4th Friday Art Shows and Opening Reception @ Art Works!
DESCRIPTION:Winter is approaching. Soon days will be short and nights long. We are inviting our guests to go up in the attic and dust off their scariest Halloween get-up and join us for the 4th Friday reception and opening of new exhibits. There will be prizes for best costumes. \n  \nIt’s not all scary stuff\, as we are also inviting children (and adults love this too) to an artful scavenger hunt and pumpkin decorating activity. And the new exhibits will put you in the Halloween mood including:  Phantasmagorium by Chris Semtner\, Spontaneous Markings by George Hughes\, The Magical World of Little Lamzy Divy by Andrea Danner and the All Media Show with a Dark Art theme. \n  \nPlease join us October 28th\, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. for the opening reception. Meet these extraordinary artists\, enjoy live music\, and celebrate with us with refreshments and libations benefiting RVA Thriving Artists.  Parking is free. \n  \nPhantasmagorium by Chris Semtner  \nArtist\, author\, and curator Chris Semtner may be best known as the horror and dark history expert who has appeared on PBS\, BBC\, American Heroes Channel\, C-Span\, and other networks and who has written articles for Biography.com\, Crime Writers Chronicle\, and other publications. His museum exhibits have been reviewed in The New York Times\, Deep South Magazine\, and other publications. In the midst of jurying and curating exhibits across the country and keeping a busy speaking schedule that has taken him to venues ranging from the Steampunk World’s Fair to the Library of Congress and as far away as Japan\, Semtner continues to paint mesmerizing pictures informed by his years of research into things phantasmagorical\, chimerical\, and outré. The sources of his imagery are hazy memories\, half-forgotten dreams\, dusty old books\, and seldom seen black-and-white movies. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Jane Sandelin Gallery. \nSpontaneous Markings by George Hughes \nRaised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Bedford County\, Virginia\, George Hughes developed a deep appreciation for nature. While earning his Bachelor of Arts from VCU\, he was immediately struck with the tension between the urban environment and the rural atmosphere to which he was accustom. VCU introduced Hughes to a more expressive style of working that was spontaneous and free forming through impressionistic landscape. Hughes focused on the improvisational mark and vivid color. Hughes has traveled all over the country visiting National Forests that have inspired his work. The exhibit will be in the Corner Gallery. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Magical World of Little Lamzy Divy by Andrea Danner \n  \nAndrea Danner knew she was an artist as a girl\, winning the Smoky the Bear coloring contest at the age of five. Most of her artwork revolves around her love and passion for animals and nature. In her recent work which is made of paper mâché and paper clay\, she focuses on bringing paper to life through fun and a bit of “magic”. Many of the materials she uses are repurposed and recycled\, including old library book pages. Her whimsical creations bring her joy and laughter\, that she shares with others. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Skylight Gallery \n  \n  \nDARK ART – OCTOBER 2022 ALL MEDIA ART SHOW  \nThis exhibit is a focal point of all Art Works’ openings. It is a juried show with cash prizes and is open to all artists and all mediums. The theme is “dark art”. After all it is Halloween\, and a spooky exhibit seems fitting. \n  \nCall for entries is September 23\, 2022 – October 18\, 2022. Submit your entries through our online form. Check our website for details on submitting your artwork:   artworksrva.com  \nPainting by: Sheri Lake \n  Save
