Life Painting Classical Portrait with David Gray at Arts in Rome Published on 20 April, 2018

Arts in Rome, an ARC Approved ™ school is immensely pleased to receive internationally renowned award-winning artist, David Gray, who will be teaching his remarkable oil painting techniques. To enjoy the workshop you need to be a member of the Arts in Rome Cultural Association.

In the workshop, David will teach the application of the painting medium as he applies it in his own professional work. This five day workshop will cover: underdrawing and underpainting, overpainting, glazing and making minor adjustments as necessary. In addition students are encouraged to ask any other questions applicable to the art making process. In past workshops David has discussed other topics such as: composition, personal art making philosophy, and many other related topics.

"Though I strive to keep the class fun and upbeat, we move fast and cover a LOT of material in a short amount of time.  It’s really going to benefit the student who has a firm grasp of drawing and oil painting basics."

The workshops run from May 14 – 18, 2018 at Arts in Rome 1 Via Pasquale Villari, Roma, Lazio 00100

Escape Velocity Exhibition Published on 18 April, 2018

Greg Hildebrandt is happy to be a part of the Escape Velocity Exhibition, held at the Plaxall Gallery in Long Island City. 

This SciFi theme exhibition curated by Edjo Wheeler opened on Friday April 13, 2018. A wide-ranging curated group exhibition, it brings together contemporary artists from across the NYC Tri State area inspired by science fiction’s capacity to imagine new realities, both utopian and dystopian. Works on view depict unique artistic landscapes exploring parallel universes, alternative realities and perspectives surmising on the past and the future; artists utilize science fiction to suggest diverse modes of existence and represent everything "out of step" and alien to our ways of being in the world.

The exhibition runs from April 12 to May 13, 2018 at LiC-A/Plaxall Gallery, 5-46 46th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101.

Gallery Hours are Thursdays 6-10 PM (life drawing with live nude) and Saturday and Sundays, 12 PM to 6 PM.

We are pleased to announce an article featuring  Alex Bauwens, the Art Renewal Center’s 13th ARC Salon Fine Art Connoisseur Award winner, has been published in the Scottsdale Independent.
