SUMMARY:"MATERIALIST"
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition will feature artworks by regional artist group called “MATERIALIST”!  \nFeatured Artists:\n-Jessie Fisher\n-Melanie Johnson\n-Christopher Lowrance\n-Michael McCaffrey\n-Scott Seebart  \nWe hope you will join us for our opening reception on First Friday\, June 2nd from 5:30pm – 9:00pm! \n—-\nMATERIALIST is a group of painters dedicated to representation\, observation and the expressive material subject. Meaning is embodied in each artist’s vigorous processes and narratives that are at once deeply personal and openly poetic. The revelation of everyday life is drawn\, painted\, collaged and sculpted with an intensity that stems from each member’s direct connection to personal and familial subjects. Close inspection of their work reveals individual methodologies which create captivating haptic and intimate visual experiences.  \nWhile our work is not interchangeable\, each artist shares a love of the material and the gestural and the responsive.  Each of us possesses a strong foundation in the tradition of perceptual painting and drawing\, and approaches the medium as a a meditation on constructing meaning. Working as a collective has augmented our individual practices by highlighting very distinct approaches\, while at the same time revealing striking rhymes in process\, materiality\, and meaning\, often creating new narrative threads when the work is in dialogue. \n—-\nARTIST STATEMENTS/BIOS: \nJessie Fisher’s compositionally dense paintings blur distinctions between empirical fact and perceptual fiction through intimate portraits and surrogate objects. She has been an artist-in-residence at the Visual Arts and Design Academy\, Santa Barbara\, the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts and Studio Art College International\, Florence\, Italy and has lectured on her work at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, the International Center for the Arts\, Montecastello di Vibio\, Italy and at the GuangXi Arts Institute\, Nanning\, China among others. She is a recipient of the Ohio Young Painters Prize and a founding member of Studio Nong\, an international sculpture collective and residency program based in southern China. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in Minneapolis\, Saint Paul\, Iowa\, Ohio\, New York\, Philadelphia\, Los Angeles\, Kansas City\, Italy\, and China. Fisher was a Professor in Painting at the Kansas City Art Institute from 2005-2022 and is currently a co-director of Case | Edgerton Studios in St Paul\, MN and a member of the Prince Street Gallery in New York City.  \n—-\n Melanie Johnson’s immersive large-scale drawings and paintings engage the viewer through carefully observed depictions of the natural environment\, inviting the viewer to linger over a history and meaning that unfolds slowly. Johnson is a recipient of the Tallgrass Artist Residency\, where she worked on the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve\, and the Charlotte Street Residency in Kansas City\, Missouri. Her work has been exhibited in gallery venues in New York\, London\, Philadelphia\, Chicago\, Minneapolis\, Cincinnati\, and Kansas City\, as well as in many academic institutions. In 2022\, her work was featured in “A Changing World: Women to Watch”\, at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.  Johnson is Professor of Painting and Drawing at the University of Central Missouri. \n—-\nChristopher Lowrance studied at Indiana University\, Missouri State University\, and the University of Massachusetts and currently lives in Kansas City. Teaching\, writing about art and occasional curatorial ventures complement his studio art practice–making mostly large scale\, invented figure paintings and drawings plus smaller works from direct observation.  \n—-\nMichael McCaffrey’s current paintings\, drawings\, and collages focus on his family history and home; and the interconnection between a father and son. In the winter of 2016\, Michael was awarded a two-week residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. Michael exhibits both regionally and nationally. Recently\, at Prince Street Gallery and First Street Gallery in New York\, NY\, Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati\, OH\, The Leedy-Voulkos Arts Center in Kansas City\, MO and the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg\, MS. Michael’s work was published in Manifest Gallery’s International Painting Annual 5 and 9\, and in 2015 he received an international grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields foundation.  Currently\, he is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Visual Art at the University of Kansas where he teaches Painting and Life Drawing.  \n—–\nScott Seebart  merges the tabletop with the allegorical\, painting an arcadian re-enactment of the everyday object set within an extraordinary scene. Seebart has shown in group and solo exhibitions at the Susquehanna Art Museum\, The American Museum of Art in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, Lo River Arts in Beacon\, New York and the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City\, Missouri. He has been a visiting artist at the Mount Gretna School of Art\, The International Center for the Arts in Montecastello di Vibio\, Italy and Studio Nong in Nanning\, China. Seebart is a co-director of Case | Edgerton Studios in St. Paul\, MN and a member of the Prince Street Gallery in New York City.

SUMMARY:"RETRIEVING THE MOON" - Curt Clonts & Emily Brookover
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will feature artworks by local artists\, Curt Clonts & Emily Brookover! \nWe hope you will join us for our opening reception on First Friday\, May 5th from 5:30pm – 9:00pm! \n——–\nARTIST STATEMENTS: \nCURT CLONTS: “I have thought a lot lately about what it was like when I was a kid. I grew up right here in College Hill. These neighborhoods\, trees\, park\, and people are in my blood—they are my blood. Life was magical growing up here in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Aside from the fact that the oldest brothers of some friends were going off to Vietnam\, it was magical. We played hard and we did our chores. We noticed everything. The smell of rain on mowed grass or burning leaves in the fall. Identifying the bird calls we heard from 100 year old elms. The taste of purple mulberries and pears that grow throughout the area. Barefoot\, at all times\, throughout spring and summer. Chlorine stinging the eyes at the swimming pool. The purple of irises and the pink of heavy peonies as they droop towards the ground in countless gardens. The scent of honeysuckle and trumpet vine. \nThese were the things that came to mind as I created much of the work in this show.\nI’d turn on the lights in my studio and then flip on the music to prime my senses. Thelonious Monk\, Cannonball Adderley\, or early Miles Davis. Jazz. Seemingly improvised and always spontaneous. Never knowing what would turn up on the canvas\, I just painted—driven by the music. \nI drank amazing amounts of coffee—black\,  because it allowed me to work into the early morning hours\, and because it reminded me that it was the smell of my grandmother’s kitchen.\nI live in College Hill today\, after having gone away for some 21 years. I ALWAYS knew I would come back.  I lived in other larger cities and on the other side of the world\, in Okinawa\, Japan (for 3 years). I married a young woman from Okinawa (she was 18/I was 19). I fell in love with her and the island life. We are still together after 43 years. This happiness is also in this body of work. And so are our children and grandchildren. \nOur friends who come over and hang out with us on the front porch—they are in this work as well.\nMy show is about happiness. And it springs from memories made yesterday and today. \nI don’t want to create work about war and politics like I did in my younger years. I want to paint about the world I’ve created for myself. I like it this way. It’s what I cling to and cherish. It’s what I know. \nIt’s home.” – Curt Clonts \n——– \nEMILY BROOKOVER: “My work explores the various relationships between human identity and the things we choose to surround ourselves with or\, in some cases\, avoid altogether.  Those things could be objects\, textures\, scents\, sounds.   \nAs humans\, we often cling to or are completely repulsed by things that represent past moments\, people\, experiences\, and trauma.  One may feel an attachment to a jar of buttons\, a cheap wallet\, the smell of lilac\, or the sound of the ocean.  One may also entirely avoid blue bathrobes\, dark wood floors\, or the sound of fingernails clicking on a tabletop.  These things\, these objects\, these responses may seem silly or insignificant to one person\, while representing an entire lifetime to another.  Choosing provocative objects and items from my memory collection to place within my work provides me the opportunity to recontextualize my experiences and redefine my attached feelings.  The work allows me to take moments that were painful\, bitter\, or even regrettable and reconstruct them into new and positive stories.” – Emily Brookover

SUMMARY:ARTIST TALK: Mike Miller - "Be the Art"
DESCRIPTION:We will be hosting an Artist Talk with local artist and sculptor\, Mike Miller!\n—- \nJoin us on Wednesday\, March 8th from 6:00pm – 7:00pm to learn more about his solo-exhibition titled\, “Be the Art”! \n—- \nMiller will be discussing the various techniques\, materials\, concepts\, and themes represented throughout his amazing show. We hope to see you there! \nThis event is free and open to the public!\n“Be the Art” on display at RSG until March 3rd – March 31st\, 2023 \n—- \nARTIST BIO:\nMike Miller is best known for his Machine-Nature Interface series of sculptures. These machine-nature forms combine a natural object with a manmade object\, creating a machine that produces an original movement or action. Most of Mike’s works are kinetic\, whether powered by a motor and salvaged gears\, hand crank\, the wind\, or kids on a swing set.\nThe movements produced echo the machinations of nature itself- plants’ production of oxygen\, the orbit of a moon around a planet. As manmade machines and nature made machines advance the difference between the two becomes indistinguishable. Mike was born\, raised\, and educated in Kansas and finds inspiration and materials for both the machine and the nature aspects of his work around his home and studio in rural Butler County. \n—- \nARTIST STATEMENT:\n“Everything is a machine\, and there are two main types\, human-made and nature-made machines. For instance\, trees are natural machines that absorb carbon dioxide and create oxygen\, and human made machines such as the printing press\, birth control pill\, smartphones\, etc. These machines\, both natural and human-made\, have initiated nearly all changes in human culture. These machines have also driven nearly all the changes in Earth’s environment\, both good and bad.\nWith these sculptures\, I hope to illustrate that we as individuals are personally responsible for Earth’s environment. I also believe that as human technology advances the difference between natural and human-made machines will decrease until they eventually blend together\, and that the merging of the two is a good thing that can eventually fix the Earth’s environmental problems.” – Mike Miller

SUMMARY:Wanderlust - Pam Bjork
DESCRIPTION:This solo exhibition will feature hand embroidered photo montages\, mixed media portrait paintings\, and paper collages by local artist\, Pam Bjork! \nWe hope you will join us for our opening reception on Feb. 3rd from 5:30pm – 9:00pm! \n—- \n“With camera in hand and an inquisitive mind I’ve been fortunate enough to visit six continents. A few of my most meaningful experiences:  Bali\, her resplendent beauty and magic helped soothe after the death of my father; Tibet\, witness to a ‘sky burial’ at 15\,000 feet where heaven and earth meet; Sicily\, pilgrimage alongside grieving women during La Processione Dei Misteri after the death of my sister; rare and endangered white lions in Timbavati\, South Africa;  Cuba\, initiation with Santeria babalawos; Bhutan\, small Buddhist kingdom whose mission is Gross National Happiness; Ethiopia\, indigenous tribes with painted\, adorned and scarified bodies. Most recently\, Japan beguiled and captivated my imagination. The phrase “ichi-go ichi-e” meaning “one time\, one meeting” captures life’s precious moments.   \nAlong the way\, I took photographs and shopped for the sacred\, collecting ceremonial textiles\, objects of devotion and items of beauty – both as an aide-memoire and to bring the experience home. \nThis exhibition is a visual journey of my love affair with the world.  The photo montages were created during the pandemic\, weaving together the mystery and enigma of my peripatetic wonderings/wanderings.  Akin to the discovery of a special something in the marketplaces of the world\, the discovery of drawings I made as a little girl and the drawings made by my then 5-year-old grandson add to the mix.  Images of my paintings meet photographs of people and places visited. Often a stroke of color brings the seemingly disparate pieces together. Having a textile in each piece was important\, to bring the fibers and material presence of each culture present. The stitching is an homage to my mother and grandmother. My collection and images reflect Indra’s Net\, the Buddhist Vedic Hindu philosophy that symbolizes the universe as a web of interconnection and interdependence. Unexpected encounters make a richer weave.  \nThis work is an offering to the love and beauty of this world.  I hope you experience wonder as you create your own way of wanderlust\, be it near or far.” – Pam Bjork

I use disparate elements\, drawn from a variety of sources: familiar and foreign\, old and new\, ceremonial and utilitarian\, etc. Media-wise\, I work usually in a mixed media mode\, making use of gritty relationships possible through contrasting materials and styles.” – Kathleen Shanahan \n—\n“…I believe that art making and the appreciation of art are profoundly important activities. As our society becomes increasingly inundated with technology\, I believe that the beautiful handmade object will gain in value-intrinsic and economic-and importance. As life becomes more complex\, art will continue to serve as an essential\, visceral and therapeutic connection to the wonder of our humanity.” – Marko Fields \n—\nMarko Fields & Kathleen Shanahan | Exhibitions run October 7th through October 29th \nThis show is in conjunction with our WICHITA NATIONAL CERAMIC INVITATIONAL\, partnered with Empty Bowls to fundraise for the Kansas Food Bank! \n— \n(Note: we have designated parking behind RSG that are marked with signs.

SUMMARY:"HARING OEHM" - Valerie Haring & John Oehm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our First Friday event! \nOpening reception on Friday\, September 2nd from 5:30pm – 9pm! \n— \nThis exhibition features mixed media photo collages by Valerie Haring and oil-painted portraits by John Oehm! \n— \nValerie Haring – Oehm was born in El Dorado KS. She grew up in the country near the Walnut River where she had the luxury to explore nature and her dad’s old car collection. She earned her AA from Butler CC\, her BSE in Art Education from Emporia State University\, and her MA in Art Education from Wichita State University. \nThroughout her educational journey\, she studied with many of the preeminent college art professors in Kansas. She was the director of the Erman B. White gallery\, Chair of the Butler CC Art Department\, and currently serves as the Interim Dean of Fine Arts and Communication at BCC. \nValerie has an arts education rooted in naturalism and traditional materials. Over the span of her career\, she has explored conceptual subject matter\, and allowed the materials she works with to yield to the concept\, all the while leaning on the formal elements and principles of design. \n“Drawing from observation is like an exhilarating physical workout when one relies on muscle memory to carry one to the finish line. Working non-representationally\, or conceptually\, is like hiking into unknown territory; looking for something to latch onto and transform.” – Haring  \n— \nJohn Oehm – a native Nebraskan moved to Wichita in 1977\, after completing his undergraduate degree in painting from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Oehm earned his MFA in painting from Wichita State University in 1981. \nFor the next 11 years\, Oehm taught at WSU\, the Wichita Center for the Arts\, and in his private studio in downtown Wichita. He joined the art faculty of Butler Community College in 1992. \nSince retiring from Butler CC in 2017\, Oehm has worked full-time as a portrait painter. His portrait work can be found in collections throughout the Midwest and Southwest United States. In 2021 Oehm and Valerie Haring were married. They currently live in Bel Aire\, Kansas. \n“My work reflects a lifelong interest in a tradition of figure and portrait painting that includes the likes of Rembrandt\, Titian\, Alberto Giacometti\, Lucian Freud\, and Jenny Saville. Each of these painters demonstrates a fascination with the illusion of forms in light and space. If it were possible\, I would only paint from life.” – Oehm \n— \n“HARING OEHM” | Exhibition runs September 2nd through September 24th!
