Portraiture at its Best

October 23, 2009 to August 22, 2010

A new exhibition showcases winners from the National Portrait Gallery’s Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. The museum holds the competition every three years; this year more than 3,300 entries were submitted in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, video, and photography. Dave Woody of Fort Collins, CO, was awarded the grand prize of $25,000 plus the opportunity to create a portrait for the museum's permanent collection. “I am never really attracted to photographing subjects who are totally self-aware or self-confident, as I’m more interested in those people who move through this world with a quiet grace,” he says of his winning photograph titled LAURA. Stanley Rayfield won second place for his painting titled DAD, and third prize went to Adam Vinson. Commended participants include Margaret Bowland, Yolanda del Amo, Gaela Erwin, and Emil Robinson. This exhibition features 49 portraits and is on display through August 22. A color catalog is available.

Gallery C is proud to present Contemporary Works, an exhibit of new artworks by nationally renowned cityscape artist, Josh George. The exhibition will be in Gallery C on Wade Avenue, in Ridgewood Shopping Center, from August 6th through September 22nd. Josh George's cityscapes are influenced by works dating back to the 19th century impressionists. He is influenced by masters such as Edgar Degas and Mary Cassat because of their excellent drawing abilities. He is motivated and inspired by Richard Diabankorn and Wayne Thiebaud because, like George, they took the liberty of redesigning their landscapes to fit their own views. Josh George's work focuses on the changing cityscape from the street level view, like an Ash Can artist. George uses an plethora of materials when creating his works; not limiting himself, but including wallpaper scraps, postage stamps, and old product labels. Josh George has degrees from the Kansas City Art Institute and Central Missouri State University. He is a native of Kansas City, Missouri.
