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. Recomendamos descargar la aplicación Zoom a su dispositivo con anticipación. Recibirá una URL para unirse a la demostración después de completar el proceso de registro.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Drawing the Figure

The painted faces that have become important to his body of work represent the raw creative energy that pulses within all people of color. His models have always been his fellow artists\, writers\, poets\, rappers\, singers etc. In the future he wants to expand this body of work to include some very young and elderly subjects. \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.

SUMMARY:Fleisher From a Distance: Chinese Brush Painting Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a demonstration and a conversation about the medium\, technique\, and philosophy of Chinese brush painting and calligraphy with Josephine Tsai. We will discuss the basic brushwork\, the inks\, brushes\, and Xuan paper\, and demonstrate the process and technique. \nJosephine grew up in Taiwan\, where she was exposed to the richness of Chinese culture. She immigrated to the United States in 1980 and lives in Media\, where she is an active participant in the Delaware Valley community. \nJosephine received her natural science degree at Fuzen Catholic University. In the last 30 years\, she has been an accomplished businessperson. However\, art-related works\, especially Chinese watercolor painting\, have always been her first love. She received private instruction from several well-known masters of Chinese art\, but she considers Mother Nature to be the greatest teacher. “My art work represents my love and respect for nature\,” she says. “Nature’s graceful character conveys a sentiment beyond its outward appearance. It is not an objective reflection through the sense of sights\, but rather a subjective expression of insight.” \nHer works often combine three distinct styles of Chinese painting\, the realistic style\, the spontaneous style and the ink splashed style\, allowing the positive aspects of each to create a lively impression. At the same time\, her artistic details invite the viewer to explore the spirit of the art. “My dancing brush and singing ink merge into my passion for the outside world and the joy of my inner being.” \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: Silverpoint Drawing Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Join Darryl Smith\, one of our newest teaching artists\, for a demonstration of the traditional silverpoint drawing technique. Darryl will discuss the history of silverpoint drawing\, also known as metalpoint drawing. He will also be drawing live while showing various types of mark-making\, drawing surfaces\, and properties of the metals that he uses in his work. If you’re interested in traditional materials or want to learn more about this Renaissance drawing technique\, this webinar is for you! \nBorn in Georgetown\, D.C. in 1992\, Darryl Babatunde Smith started making art as a way of interpreting foreign languages. He studied French\, German\, and Latin in high school and later began to learn ancient Greek\, Italian\, and Icelandic on his own. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts\, where he completed his BFA in painting\, and at the New York Academy of Art\, where he obtained his MFA in 2019 in drawing and anatomy. Through his knowledge of Latin and ancient Greek\, he immerses himself in antiquity. Darryl uses Greco-Roman symbols and traditional renaissance techniques such as metalpoint drawing and egg tempera painting to connect his personal narratives with classical literature. \nDarryl’s drawings have been featured on Fine Arts Connoisseur’s website and have been exhibited in New York City\, Reykjavík\, and Assisi. In the past two years he has been awarded residencies in Iceland\, Italy\, and Greece\, where he created work inspired by the landscape and ancient artifacts. Recently his metalpoint and egg tempera works were exhibited in Hillsdale\, Michigan\, in an exhibition of contemporary silverpoint drawings. \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: Studio Visit With Christopher Smith
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a studio visit with longtime faculty member and sculptor Christopher Smith. Christopher was born in Detroit in 1958 and currently lives and works in Philadelphia. The Detroit area\, known for its economic and social upheavals of the 1960s and 70s\, gave him the background to see how the memory of artistic form survives even the hard effects of time. From the sacred to the secular\, the human figure has always interested him. All of his pieces are unique creations\, which he models from life. “Every time the model poses\,” he says\, “I am amazed at the redolence of the human form.” \nChristopher always intended to be a sculptor. Upon completing a degree in sculpture at the University of Michigan\, he opened an independent studio. His theme has consistently been the figure\, solitary or in combination with other figures in compositional narratives. He sculpts mostly in clay and direct plaster\, and casts in uncommon materials. Since the mid-1980s his figures have been exhibited extensively in North America\, the UK\, and Sweden. \nThis visit 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.
