Virtual Painting Marathon – with Elisa Jensen be

Virtual Painting Marathon – with Elisa Jensen begins next week! Enroll today via the link in bio.

Course Dates: March 11th - 15th, 9am - 6pm

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This figure painting Marathon will explore figurative imagery – in particular, looking at ideas of allegory and archetype in painting – to consider how these ideas are, and can be, used in contemporary painting. Focus will be on finding and developing personal imagery to the fullest extent by working from perception, from drawings, from the imagination, and from memory. Sources will be drawings from the virtual model, the study of our own environment, and transcription of specific masterworks, western and nonwestern, from ancient times to contemporary art.

Part one: the first three days will involve a series of small drawings and paintings exploring color palettes, color relationships, scale, space and image. Part two: the final two days will be devoted to larger works based on the work done in part one.

The New York Studio School presents "Rebecca Purdu

The New York Studio School presents "Rebecca Purdum: Breathing Painting," March 8 – April 11, 2021. Purdum’s paintings are slowly built up atmospheres that transcend distinct mark making and color decisions. Like breath on glass, the works are velvety fields, a mysterious recording of inner life; but unlike breath, these powerful paintings do not fade. The exhibition features eight works spanning 1987 – 2020, including two major triptychs, Low Flight, 2002, spanning 18 feet, and Winter Work, 2015, over 8 by 15 feet.

NYSS prioritizes the health and safety of our entire community. Free, timed-entry reservations are required ahead of your visit. Your visit will be limited to 30 minutes from the beginning of the appointment time. A mask covering one’s mouth and nose must be worn to enter the building and while in the building. A minimum distance of six feet must be maintained between persons at all times. Prior to entering the building visitors are required to fill out a COVID-19 self-assessment questionnaire on the NYSS website (link in bio).
