Magic Realism: Exploring Material Illusions
April 1 - July 17, 2010
CPREVIEW OPENING FOR NCECA Conference on March 31, 2010
Organized by Robin Rice, Philadelphia, PA, this exhibition brings together 19 artists who create three-dimensional illusions characterized by ambiguity, and, often, playfulness.
April Fool's Day is a suitable occasion to celebrate the surprising sculpture in "Magic Realism." Nineteen artists display their individual technical mastery of wood, ceramic, clay, metal or glass as they combine a multitude of small truthful details into realities that are simultaneously believable and strange - impossible and valid. The eye dazzling magic is explored in representations of the artifacts of daily life, objects simultaneously mundane and filled with explicit and hidden meanings. The artists in the exhibition include: Ruth Borgenicht, Jim Butler, John Cederquist, Tom Eckert, Susan Glasgow, Michelle Holzapfel, Ron Isaacs, Janel Jacobson, Ani Kasten, Greg Nangle, Xuti, Randall Rosenthal, Dan Saal, Lincoln Seitzman, Eric Serritella, Richard Shaw, Brent Skidmore, Paul Stankard and David Wiseman..
