AMERICAN REALITIES -- ---








This guy lives on our street and has nice clean cloths
everyday. He is totally wasted and sleeps most of the day away.
How does he stay so tidy??

Deanna Templeton is Having A Musuem Show In Germany!!!



"Scratch your name on your arm with a fountain pen/This means you really love me"
April 4-October 5 2009
NRW Forum Kultur und Wirtschaft
Ehrenhof 2 40479 Dusseldorf
Germany

Ed Templeton just sent us this link of Deanna talking about her art. I can't believe they got her on camera -- she is very shy! And very talented. We congratulate her on her Museum Show.

BTW yes she has a broken arm and she did not get it skate boarding. She got it roller skating.
Sort of a freak accident. The show is making her arm heal faster!!!! All her great photos are truly being appreciated and getting the respect they deserve.

Here's to you Deannnnnna!!!!!

AMERICAN REALITIES

Clare Rojas, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, and Lydia Fong

Opening reception Saturday, March 28,
7 to 10pm
Musical performance by Peggy Honeywell and comedic act by Andrew Jeffrey Wright


Clare Rojas, Barn with ghost

Clare Rojas:
San Francisco painter, singer, and filmmaker Clare E.Rojas is not a folk artist. In Clare Rojas' works, women, men, nature and animals are strong and weak caring and connected to one another in their struggle to find harmony and balance. She celebrates women for their traditional and most basic differences and strengths. While the characters are often imbued with feelings of loss and nostalgia, one gets the sense that they will not back down. They will ultimately beat their predators at their own game.

Rojas's appropriation of folk imagery addresses contemporary female social concerns "The feeling of loss in my work, is my feeling of loss of hope. The struggle to find the good and the beautiful and represent it is my challenge. Understanding the ugliness that finds its way into our culture is crucial." Rojas's beautiful uses of allegory and of an imagined cultural landscape in her paintings act to subvert our current accepted perceptions of women. It allows the spectator an engagement with an alternate evocative world that is both funny and sad and that points to the complexities of being a resilient female in the twenty-first century. Rojas often depicts women alone, standing amid a flattened forest landscape, but this is not to suggest that they are lonely. No, Rojas's women exist in their own reality, feeling peaceful, protected, and quiet.

Selected exhibitions include a group exhibition with the Luggage Store, San Francisco in 2003 for which she won a Louis Comfort Tiffany award. In 2004 Rojas had a solo show at the San Francisco Art Institute and at the Belkin Satellite Gallery in Vancouver. Her work was included in the travelling exhibition, Beautiful Losers. She has exhibited at the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, and was most recently a featured artist at the Prospect.1 New Orleans Biennial.
