I was thrilled to learn that my painting, "Poppy Path" was juried in to the Buenaventura open show. More than 400 paintings were entered into the show but the juror, Gary Lang, could only choose 80 paintings to hang. Here is what he wrote after jurying the show:
“To
all the artists who submitted artworks to the Buenaventura Gallery
invitational it was truly an honor to witness your efforts first hand.
Too many unique creative visions to curate into one exhibition. There
was no true rejection, rather my attempt to select and reward an edge
of the whole. In many cases I would overlook obvious talents in an
effort to honor courage, vulnerability and risk as I have learned that
none of us can afford to be too comfortable. Every artist in this
competition has merit, and 10 shows could have been curated from the
work I looked at.
Cudos
to you all, and thank you for pitching your time honored projects to
the public at your own expense. I get it, tip my hat to you all.”
Gary Lang
Perhaps I will see you at the reception if you are in the area. If you can't make it on Saturday, please try to go by this lovely gallery before the show is over.
