International Guild of Realism’s 15th annual Juried Exhibition opens this October at Principle Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina.
-
The International Guild of Realism champions realism in fine art through museum exhibitions, gallery shows, workshops, and education for its members. One of the mainstays has been its annual Juried Exhibition, which will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year. The show will happen through October 31 at Principle Gallery’s Charleston, South Carolina, location and it will bring together paintings by more than 100 high-caliber artists.
“As an original charter member of the International Guild of Realism, I am thrilled to see the amazing growth within IGOR over the past 16 years. IGOR is definitely a major player in the resurgence of academic realism in fine art,” says founding charter member Don Clapper. “Our juried membership represents some of the very best realists in the world, and this year’s 15th annual show is one of our best shows to date in terms of quality and number of paintings, with 111 artworks from 107 IGOR artists. Our juried membership hails not only from North America but also from over 35 countries around the world.”
The pieces in the show will range from Trompe l’Oeil to figures and landscapes, with everything from traditional to contemporary techniques represented. Included in the show are paintings by artists such as Anna Wypych, Carmen Drake, Gulay Berryman, Kathleen S. Giles, Patricia McMahon Rice, and Ryan Jacque.

Finding Humor in Hubris
Larry Blizard has nothing against painting but at some point in his long career as an artist, working across many mediums, the 85-year-old observed that the drawings in his sketchbook seemed to contain a special quality that the paintings he was creating at the time, did not-a kind of vitality or intensity. \"Gradually, I began to devote more effort to sketching, until drawing took over completely,\" he says. Drawing, he found, also calms his nerves. \"I lose myself in the act of moving my pencil, bringing to life forms from my imagination, and the whole process becomes a kind of meditation.\"

Curated for Collectors
One of the most anticipated shows of the year returns to Arcadia Contemporary this September. True to tradition, the 12th annual Five & Under exhibition features the gallery's top artists alongside emerging talent scouted by gallery owner Steve Diamant. An invitation from Diamant, who is known for his discerning eye, to participate in the show can be a breakthrough moment for an artist. It's also a tremendous opportunity for collectors, as all of the 100 to 200 works are priced at $5,000 or less.

Facial Recognition
Aportrait serves many purposes. It can remind us of who we are or who someone once was, whether depicted in great accuracy or through symbolism. While our fascination with a portrait is often an ineffable experience, there's one simple explanation of the appeal of a human face: connection—made possible through technique, style and color.

Summer Celebration
Gallery 1261 is gearing up for its annual 1261 Summer Show, featuring works by more than 10 of the Denver gallery's top artists. Collectors can expect to find at least 50 fresh and original artworks. The growing roster of participating artists includes Gregory Block, Scott Conary, Valerio D'Ospina, Hollis Dunlap, Daniel Sprick, Tibor Nagy, Vincent Xeus, Elizabeth Zanzinger and Heather Neill, with others being added as the show approaches. Among the many show highlights, is the detailed work of Gregory Block, known for his exploration of an array of subject matter. \"My work has always been, and I hope always will be, a fluid interpretation of how I see the world,\" explains Block. \"That means no subject matter or technique is ever off the table. I consider myself a contemporary realist because while I generally strive to paint the 'reality' of my subjects, I do so with a keen awareness of the fact that all our true realities are subjective.\"

Poetic Inspiration
A new exhibition currently on view at 33 Contemporary, A Poetic Response draws meaning from the deeply human endeavor of poetry and visual art. In many ways, these two art forms are the purest distillation of life, truth and personhood. While portraiture and figurative works make up a large portion of the show's subject matter, viewers can also delve into the hidden meanings behind a variety of subjects.
