SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Relief Printing from Wood
DESCRIPTION:The terms woodcut and wood engraving are commonly used to describe any image printed from wood\, but they’re not the same thing. Join visual artist and printmaker Rebecca Gilbert as she discusses the well-defined differences and similarities between the two processes. She will give a short talk about the history\, materials\, and techniques that go into making woodcuts and wood engravings. Then she will share some of her own work made using these two distinct processes. \nRebecca Gilbert is a Philadelphia-based artist whose work exemplifies a dedication to traditional printmaking processes\, while her innovation in executing these processes in combination with cut paper and assemblage push the boundaries of what a print can be. Her highly detailed work allows her to explore our perceptions of both space and beauty. It also recognizes her very human\, primal instincts.\nRebecca currently serves on the board of The Wood Engravers’ Network and is represented by The Print Center Gallery Store. She lives and works in South Philadelphia and teaches at The University of the Arts\, Maryland Institute College of Art\, and Fleisher Art Memorial. Her prints are in numerous public and private collections\, and have been exhibited regionally\, including at the Center for Emerging Visual Artists; nationally\, including at the International Print Center New York; and abroad\, including at the Palacio Huerto Ruano\, Lorca\, Spain. \nAmong Rebecca’s most recent awards are an Independence Foundation Fellowship and a Winterthur Artist/Maker Fellowship. These supported the research and creation of her most recent body of work\, Visions of Plenty: Observation\, Perception\, Illusion\, and Reverie. Inspired by historic moveable book structures and optical devices\, the work invites viewers to explore optics\, perception\, and the act of seeing by transforming intricately detailed prints into dimensional works on paper. \nYou can view more of Rebecca Gilbert’s work at rebeccaprint.com or follow her on instagram @rebecca_print. \nThis demonstration is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. The tour will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices. We highly recommend downloading the Zoom app to your device in advance. You will receive a URL to join the demonstration after you complete the registration process.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Painting in 3D
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a demonstration of a very unique technique the artist Claes Gabriel uses to make his colorful and bold sculptural paintings. We’ll learn his process in building a the structural frame\, stretching canvas on a varied angled frame\, and designing and painting the sculptural piece. We’ll also discuss Claes’ recent foray into mural painting and his mural “Boat People.” \nClaes Gabriel is a Philadelphia-based artist from Port-au-Prince\, Haiti. Gabriel immigrated to the States in 1989 and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1999. His three-dimensional paintings ring with the spiritual energy of beings from folklore and his own imagined tales\, capturing a deified presence in each piece. Inspired by modernists such as Frank Stella and Sam Gilliam\, Gabriel’s work lives beyond the confines of a flat wall; he stretches and sews canvases taut over wooden armatures to construct masks and free-standing statues. After considering the natural shape of the piece\, Gabriel uses bright acrylics to pull out patterns\, eyes\, lips\, and personality that seem to rise to the surface of their own free will. Gabriel often says he knows a piece is finished when he can bow to it. \nThis demonstration is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required. The tour will be hosted through Zoom\, which can be accessed on desktop and laptop computers\, as well as mobile devices. We highly recommend downloading the Zoom app to your device in advance.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Pintura Básica
DESCRIPTION:Únase a nosotros para una demostración de técnica básica de pintura al óleo con el artista Henry Bermudez. Discutiremos cómo preparar el lienzo para pintar al óleo con aplicación de yeso y cómo usar el medio para la disolución de la pintura al óleo. También hablaremos de diferentes técnicas para pintar con pincel y espátula. \nUno de los intereses de Henry Bermúdez a través de toda su carrera ha sido la necesidad de representar aspectos ancestrales de las culturas primigenias de las cuales ha tenido contacto. Inicialmente\, a la edad de veintiún años\, se encuentra con la cultura afro americana en el pueblo de Bobures\, localidad ubicada a orillas del sur del Lago de Maracaibo\, (Venezuela). Allí los mitos\, las leyendas y símbolos empiezan a permear su obra\, entrelazándose con elementos representativos de la cultura contemporánea. Luego en 1977 decide vivir una temporada en México\, donde su obra se ve nutrida por toda la cultura prehispánica Azteca\, principalmente influenciada por el mito del Quetzalcoalt\, la serpiente emplumada\, que viene a marcar un referente importante en toda su carrera. En el año 1981\, se traslada a la ciudad de New York donde a través del Museo Metropolitano de arte\, entra en contacto con las máscaras africanas y todo lo previamente experimentado en la localidad de Bobures\, lo anecdótico y referencial de del mito oral\, del cuento de camino\, de la leyenda remota\, comienza a tener cuerpo y forma\, representándose de manera inaudita y viniendo a emerger con otra vitalidad y carácter. En el año 1985\, es invitado a participar en la Bienal de Venecia y es allí donde entra en contacto con las raíces de la cultura occidental\, ya que decide residenciarse una temporada en la ciudad de Roma. Así el Renacimiento viene a ser un contrapeso significativo entre lo primitivo y selvático y el orden racional y lógico\, tomando como un elemento iconográfico a la imagen de los Duques de Urbino. Para el año 1997 realiza una excursión al profundo Amazonas\, donde entra en contacto con la cultura Yanomami\, y así la referencia del mito a través de lo antropomórfico\, comienza a tener un carácter predominante en su obra. En el año 2014 realiza un viaje al Perú\, donde entra en contacto con la cultura Inca y las ánforas funerarias vienen a llamar su atención y vienen a colarse en su cartografía mitogràfica\, en su topología del mito hispano. \nAsí llegamos a estas fechas más recientes \, donde Bermúdez esta residenciado desde 2004 en la ciudad de Philadelphia\, y es la contemporaneidad de la cultura norteamericana\, que le permite tejer una red barroca entre lo actual y lo ancestral\, tomando elementos de la cultura kitsch y pop\, (como la escarcha y el tatuaje) para hilar un discurso que se aleja de lo antropocéntrico y vincular al hombre en una cultura que comienza a hacerse difusa ante la naturaleza del mito. \nEsta visita está abierta al público con una donación sugerida de $ 10\, pero está limitada a un número máximo de 100 participantes. Se requiere registro avanzado. El seminario se realizará a través de Zoom\, al que se puede acceder desde computadoras de escritorio y portátiles\, así como desde dispositivos móviles.

Los maravillosos paisajes de mi país y sus habitantes fueron esenciales en el desarrollo de una conciencia artistica y social orientada a la busqueda de historias y lugares para contar y retratar. Estudié en mi país; Universidad Metropolitana de Chile y recibí mi Maestría en Comunicación Visual. Me mudé a Italia donde tuve la oportunidad de estudiar historia del arte y pintura al óleo. Mientras estuve en Italia\, participé en varios eventos de arte importantes y exposiciones individuales. Estas experiencias mejoraron mi técnica pictórica y me dieron una comprensión más profunda del impacto positivo que el arte tiene en nuestra sociedad. Mientras estaba en Filadelfia ingrese como miembro de la 3rd Street Gallery en donde tuve la oportunidad de realizar exposiciones individuales y grupales junto con muchos otros artistas locales. En 2017\, tuve el honor de participar en la importante bienal “Capturando el Realismo” celebrada en la Universidad Misericordia en Dallas\, Pensilvania. Actualmente\, estoy trabajando como facultative en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Pensilvania así como también en la organización Fleisher Art Memorial donde enseño dibujo básico y avanzado. \nEsta visita está abierta al público con una donación sugerida de $ 10\, pero está limitada a un número máximo de 100 participantes.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Painting Intuitively Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Discover teaching artist Doah Lee’s approach to painting intuitively. We’ll discuss materials\, acrylic and oil paint\, and several techniques and approaches for tapping into your intuition and working abstractly. Doah will demonstrate a non-objective abstraction approach as well as the abstraction idea approach. \nDoah is an interdisciplinary visual artist based in Philadelphia. She was born and raised in Seoul\, South Korea. She earned her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania and her BFA with a concentration in painting and printmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In her work\, she has explored how children speak\, listen\, see\, and draw\, and how images influence the way that a person’s identity is formed. She explores and exploits cultural symbols through repetition in a practice that mediates on cultural translation\, immigration\, otherness and femininity in focusing more specifically on issue of self-identification. The work has been featured in various exhibitions in Virginia\, Chicago\, Philadelphia\, Baltimore\, Los Angeles and Seoul. She has been a resident-artist at Cheltenham Center of the Art. She is a curator and member of an artist-run exhibition space\, FJORD gallery and currently teaches in the Art Foundation Program at Virginia Commonwealth University and Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia. \nThis demonstration is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10 but is limited to maximum number of 100 participants. Advanced registration is required.
