Painting Marathon – VIRTUAL: The Enigma of Color and the Shock of Sensation with Graham Nickson & Guests

Course Dates

June 05, 2023 - June 16, 2023

Cost

$1,800

Course Description

“It’s not about painting life; it’s about bringing paintings to life.” – Pierre Bonnard

In this Painting Marathon, size, scale, and mark will be investigated using acrylic paint. The language of the marks will change each day, along with the extreme formats of our painted surfaces. We will experience returning to a painting to develop it over time and discovering a complete idea in just a day. The acrylic will empower us to make bold and brave color changes.

"Ruth Miller’s Enduring View" Gallery Talk with

"Ruth Miller’s Enduring View" Gallery Talk with Susanna Coffey, Barbara Grossman, and Jenny Lynn McNutt: Join us tomorrow Wednesday, October 4, 1pm ET, in person in the NYSS Gallery or virtually on Instagram Live for a gallery walkthrough and discussion of “Ruth Miller’s Enduring View” on display through October 22, 2023.

The canvases in the exhibition highlight Miller’s ongoing interrogation of place, temporality, reality, and symbolism. As an artist who nearly always paints from observation, Miller has developed a practice that is profoundly informed by the specificity of her environs. Rather than painting transient moments, Miller searches for what she calls an “enduring view” in a process of working that uncovers the underlying geometry of the “unique individuality of the whole.” She continues, “And if I’m lucky, the painting will look back at me with a force of a portrait.” Ruth Miller’s Enduring View foregrounds the artist’s persistent pursuit of truth by repeatedly revisiting recurring motifs of trees, skulls, gourds, and pitchers.

Upcoming Gallery Talks:
Wednesday, October 11, 1pm ET
Janice Nowinski and Clintel Steed

Wednesday, October 18, 1pm ET
Glenn Goldberg, John Goodrich, and John Mitchell
