Cosmic Shift

August , 2017 - Cleveland artist James Massena March discusses his new exhibition, techniques, and the evolution of his style with Joseph Clark of CAN Journal.

     The idiom of my body of new work I like to call Op-Expressionism. It is a combination of Geometric Abstraction and Op Art techniques that I have been employing for the last 10 to 15 years with Abstract Expressionism, which is fairly new to me. My last show, Cassini in 2015, was when I started to merge these 3 disciplines in my painting, my premise being the exploration of outer space, like the NASA space probe of that name. Cosmic Shift is not about altering the trajectory of my search but merely a slight shift in focus -- which is more about exploring different aspects of style than about content.  ~ James Massena March

FOR LOVE OF ZOAR

Exhibition celebrating the Bi-centennial of Zoar Village’s founding: Lecture by Cleveland art historian Larry Waldman
Don Whitemyer assembled a fine collection of Zoar paintings executed by German-American artists best recognized as members of the generic ‘Cleveland School’: Adam Lehr, George Adomeit, August Biehle, Ferdinand Gottwald, William Sommer –all of whom delighted in weekends and trips away from Cleveland, enjoying illicit home-brewed spirits, camaraderie, and painting in both Zoar village and the adjacent countryside. Tim continued to expand the collection he inherited from his dad with purchases from the annual Whitemyer invitational show held in Zoar, made up of paintings depicting Zoar Village. Both men had close ties to Youngstown painter and Butler Museum director Clyde Singer; there are numerous paintings, drawings and prints by this American master as well represented in the Whitemyer Collection.

Recent Paintings by Jamie Morse

I paint landscapes on location, still life paintings from observation, and works from memory and imagination. In my paintings, I try to capture the beauty and essence of each subject. My main focus is landscape painting, and I am constantly seeking new and diverse subjects to explore. I am interested in light, seasons, moods, and emotions inherent in the places I paint, with the goal of providing the viewer with a vivid, familiar, and memorable sense of place and time.~Jamie Morse
