"From Particle to Planets" explores the role and meaning of the physical in artwork.  The medium used constrains the artist but the medium also frees the artist to construct a personal reality, to infinitely expand the possiblilities of knowing and relating to the physical.  The artist manipulates the subject and controls the light, color, texture, depth, form and space of the work to produce an evocative image, a statement of the mind and view of the artist.

Sheldon Statewide’s 2007-2008 exhibition Flow explores water as a subject of art. Symbolizing purity, sustenance, tranquility, power, movement and continuity, water is a source of life as well as destruction and death. Its surface serves as a metaphor for self-reflection and contemplation. Humans rely on water and take it for granted. We pollute it, misuse it and fight over it. It is easily accessible and inexpensive to some while nearly out of reach to others.

Artists with an affinity toward nature, especially landscape painters, have chosen water as a primary subject because of its reflective beauty and emotive qualities. Water was a central theme of the Provincetown painters and the San Francisco bay area figurative artists. The Impressionists gravitated towards water’s abstract, impressionistic qualities. Artists whose work is included in the show are: Joel Meyerowitz, William Theo Brown, Wayne Thiebaud, Neil Welliver, Harry Callahan, Nebraska’s Alice Cumbow and others.
 

Gallery Opening: May 2, 2008 in conjunction with the film viewing.
