Exhibit Background:
Over
250 submissions were reviewed by the Estate’s Exhibits and Collections
Committee, led by David Castillo, Advisory Board Member for LegalArt.
Only 10 artists were chosen for this highly selective and competitive
fine art show. “On This Rock” revolves around the themes of landscape
and architecture, which evolved naturally during the review of open
call submissions.
The
idea of the open call was to allow each of the submitting artists the
opportunity to show their current work without the restrictions of a
theme or concept before-hand. The title of the show “On This Rock” has
many connotations in Art History, religion, politics, and literature.
As well, the title makes reference to the theme of this juried show
“landscape and architecture”. As the work was reviewed, what surfaced
were connections to a city in tremendous growth, particularly in its
cultural arena. Recent local museum shows have dealt specifically with
architecture and design, as well two local museums are undergoing
important physical expansions.
This is coupled together with the Deering Estate’s history- “on this
rock” which was a private residence very tied to the visual arts.
