“Comparisons and Contrasts”, Cleveland Artists Foundation 40th Anniversary Exhibition, continues at ARTneo!

The exhibition focuses upon a variety of thematic and stylistic dialogues between older Cleveland School artists and those working from midcentury to the present. The juxtapositions raise provocative questions about what is distinctive about Cleveland art.
 
In the exhibition multiple pairs of artwork are juxtaposed, including work from Phyllis Sloane and Shirley Aley Campbell. In comparing and contrasting their artwork Marianne Berardi writes, “The human figure was the primary subject of two prolific Cleveland women, Phyllis Sloane and Shirley Aley Campbell. Both outstanding draftswomen, Sloane displayed her enviable skills particularly in printmaking, while Campbell excelled as a painter of female nudes both in oil and acrylic. Sloane’s works are chromatically punchy, bold designs often verging on Pop Art effects, while Campbell’s are much more mysterious, often showing women in ambiguous spaces with simmering social undercurrents, and frequently monumental in scale.”

Visit ARTneo Wednesdays - Fridays from 12p-4p and Saturdays 12p-3pm!

ARTneo is thrilled to share our upcoming exhibition "Emergence: New Sculptures of Eva Kwong" opening on Friday, August 18th during 78th Street Studios THIRD FRIDAY Art Walk!

Eva Kwong has been captivated by the invisible proliferation of microbes since she was five years old.

For her show at ARTneo, Kwong’s new work looks at interdependence and emergence. The show’s title, Emergence, came after Kwong asked herself “do I even know what the definition of emergence is?” which led her to discover a whole new world of emergence, from the dictionary definition to readings in philosophy, religion, and writings on the natural world.

“I am intrigued by all kinds of things. Discovering one thing always leads to another for me, and I don’t always know where that will lead me to.”

Emergence will be on view through October 20, 2023.

Interdependence & Emergence: Eva Kwong at ARTneo - Collective Arts Network - CAN Journal ArtNeo / CAN Triennial Exhibition Prize winner Eva Kwong--long known for work in ceramic--continues to evolve with 3D printing.
