VAPA Dean’s Dish – 7th Blog Edition
VAPA enters a busy weekend…and a flurry of great performances and exhibitions!
David Fleming & Diane R. Ritch Award Exhibition opens TONIGHT at the Cabrillo Gallery!
November 8 – December 13, 2013
RECEPTION: Thursday, November 7, 5:30-7:00
ARTIST TALK: Following the reception at 7:00pm (in the gallery)
David Fleming & Diane R. Ritch: Award Exhibition presents the work of two award-winning artists selected from the juried exhibition, Tasty: Artists Playing With Food, by Gayle and Joe Ortiz of Gayle’s Bakery. Both Fleming and Ritch are long-time residents of Santa Cruz County and have equally contributed to the depth of the arts community found here. Each artist will be exhibiting a collection of recent work. David Fleming is a prolific painter working with the human form in context to its environment. His oils on canvas are often accomplished in a fast and expressive approach and not necessarily stylistically similar. “Unlike many other artists, I paint in a lot of different styles and I like to work fast,” says Fleming, “I need to experiment around rather than labor over one style for too long or else I get bored. A lot of times, I don’t have anything in mind and the painting just takes on a life of its own.” In contrast to Fleming’s work Diane R. Ritch uses found objects creating two and three-dimensional pieces. Each piece creates a narrative to a certain time and place and perhaps an emotional response to that place. Ritch combines old and discarded elements, rusted or patinaed with age, to illustrate her stories. “My work moves through my life’s journey, reflects my values and grows from my passion for detail.”
