PhiLiP s. SchMidT, JUDY ROSS & HIGHLANDER STUDIOS TEAM UP TO CREATE A 'CONNECTED ARTS' TRANSCENDENCE
PhiLiP s. SchMidT's 'connected arts' vision was borne out of his immersion in the twin worlds of the Woodstock Camera Club and the St. Thomas-Elgin Artists Guild.
He began to realize how important it is for ALL artisans, including:
• Photographers
• Painters
• Sculptors
• Musicians
• Poets & Storytellers
• Multi-Media Specialists
To stand side by side in a culture that has become increasingly toxic to the arts & to the humanities.
One magical summer's day, Philip & his wife Jackie hiked into the Opal Hills of Jasper National Park. His photograph of the sweeping expanse of verdant green at the top of the treeline remains one of his favourites.
Fellow Art Gallery of Lambeth resident artist JUDY ROSS took up the challenge to interpret Philip's Opal Hills image.....
Utilizing not just one, but two different artistic mediums:
• A riveting acrylic painting into which she mixed "at least 25 shades of green"
• A customized necklace that she adroitly strung together with - wait for it - opal beads.
In Judy's own words:
"I was compelled to paint 'Opal Hills'. I was drawn in by its vastness and grandeur, as captured 'at the top' so magnificently by Philip. Although erosion is evident in areas, nature ultimately wins out and the lushness rebounds in all its splendour.
"My jeweled artwork consists primarily of natural green opals, together with multi-gemstones & glass, to bring together the final connection of our images."
And then, the crowning touch:
TED McLAUCHLIN of Highlander Studios in Woodstock employed his incomparable framing wizardry to consolidate & frame these individual components:
• Philip's photograph
• Judy's acrylic painting
• Judy's necklace
Into a single striking transcendent piece.
Philip, Judy & Ted wish to thank Vivian Tserotas & Brenda Colley, the gracious curators of the Art Gallery of Lambeth, for so enthusiastically embracing this unique 'connected arts' vision.....
And providing such a beautiful venue in which to showcase it.
The 'Opal Hills' piece is currently being offered for sale as part of the Art Gallery of Lambeth's 'Christmas in November' show, which runs until January 5, 2013.
