American Icons
June 11 - August 1
An exhibition featuring the Beaux Arts artists.
When one thinks of American icons, there emerges the visions of symbols recognized all over the world. These icons of Coca Cola, the Statue of Liberty, Hershey Kisses, Crayola Crayons, George Washington, and many others present an opportunity for the artist to explore the personal relationship between himself and the icon, thereby generating a vivid and bold response about our consumer-based society.
In the exhibition, the Beaux Arts artists, whether the representational painters, non representational abstract painters, the sculptors, jewelers, potters, mixed media artists or photographers must all, according to their choice method, create works of art that best describe the essence of an icon from their personal perspective.
All works may focus on the icon, on objects symbolic of the icon or the response to the icons by Americans ourselves or by others worldwide.
