Siena Art Institute’s ‘Drawing Connections’
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Drawings, Events, Shows
I am happy to announce that the work you see below will appear at the Siena Art Institute’s Grand Opening exhibition, titled ‘Drawing Connections’, which will open this September 24th, in Siena, Italy. So, if you happen to been in or around Siena toward the end of September or during the month of October I highly recommend that you pop in for a visit!
The exhibition’s theme is (as the title suggests) based on drawing. . . “bringing artists from all over the world together to celebrate the act of drawing on a postcard sized work. [They are] looking for original drawings or other artworks that celebrate the act of drawing (understanding that the act of drawing can also be celebrated in a variety of media outside of traditional drawing materials such as graphite and charcoal.”
Closer toward the opening of the exhibition there will be a downloadable catalog displaying all of the artists’ work that will appear in the exhibition. I will post a link as soon as the catalog is on-line.
And this is what they look like when displayed side-by-side:

Good news! From July 13th – August 10th, 2012, I will be having a two-artist exhibition at LARAC’s Lapham Gallery (they just received a grant to redesign their website) in Glens Falls, NY in which I will be unveiling at least two, new, large-scale works. I will be sharing the gallery with Elizabeth Snipes (you can check out her website here). I will post an update with more detailed information as the opening date approaches.

Teachin’ the Young’uns

In May, I had the pleasure of being a part of Young Authors Day at my niece’s grammar school, The Woodland School, in Warren, NJ. Once a year, the school invites children’s book illustrators and writers to come give instructional workshops and to talk about their experiences in creating books for children. I gave a little instructional workshop to three classes of fourth graders and a gymnasium filled with second graders. The one thing I learned from this experience is that teaching second and fourth graders is, by far, much more difficult than teaching college students!
Look closely at the blackboard for the masterpiece!
By using very simple geometric shapes, I had them compose a very intricate image. Some were very excited (and empowered) to see how easy it was to draw this way.

Aljira Opening

Here are a few pictures of the opening reception of Studio Montclair’s Viewpoints exhibition at Ajira Center for Contemporary Art. I was impressed with the amount of good work in the exhibit and was happy to have my work included with the rest. Past president of Studio Montclair and this year’s chairman of Viewpoints, Phoebe Pollinger, gave me a great spot for my wall drawing/painting/installation — it had enough room to breathe, was amongst some good company in the gallery it was in, and could be seen from the street.
The whole family showed up for the event — it was great to have them there (photos courtesy of the woman in black)!
Didn’t get as much of a chance to schmooze at this opening, as I was chasing my daughter around most of the night:
It was nice to see others enjoying my work:
Did I mention I chased my daughter around?
