Art Exhibit: Formations
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>Formations</em>, a two-person exhibit of works by Crit Streed and Satomi Kawai, in celebration of the gallery’s 7 year anniversary.</p><p><em>Formations</em> displays artworks by two artists enamored by nature and natural processes with an intuitive penchant towards it’s representation in their work. A ‘form’, the shape and structure of something as distinguished from its material, is constructed in the artworks as parts to become whole. The portrayal of these units is layered within each artist’s distinct aesthetic and their individual depictions of sequence and emotional connection. This exhibit features sizable abstract paper works by Crit Streed and intricate contemporary jewelry and meditational drawings by Satomi Kawai. </p><p>Crit and Satomi join the gallery as local artists who exhibit nationally and internationally. Crit is an Emeritus Professor of art at the University of Northern Iowa with an M.F.A from the University of Iowa in Painting. Satomi Kawai is a recent resident artist at Initiation 2018/ Kallichoron in Athens, Greece and holds an M.F.A. in Jewelry and Metal Arts from the University of Iowa.</p> 2018-04-26 17:00:00 -0500

Ears On A Beatle
<p>Written by Mark St. Germain<br>Directed by Sean Christopher Lewis<br><strong>April 13–29, 2018</strong></p><p>From the writer of hit Riverside plays <em>Dancing Lessons</em> and <em>Relativity</em> comes the story of Veteran FBI agent Howard Ballantine and new recruit Daniel McClure. It’s 1972 and these men are assigned to job of critical importance by J. Edgar Hoover: get politically outspoken John Lennon out of the country before Richard Nixon runs for reelection. Filled with humor and heartbreak, <em>Ears on a Beatle</em> explores a time when the country was sharply divided by an unpopular war, lies flowed from the White House and individual liberties were threatened in the name of national security! Based on files declassified by the Freedom of Information Act, it’s an incredibly humorous and deeply involving play that is as contemporary as today's headlines.</p><p><strong><em>Artistic Director Sean Lewis says:</em></strong><em> “A last minute treat for our audience… funny… smart… and based on true events, the play is a rollicking look at the world then and now.”</em></p> 2018-04-26 21:30:00 -0500

Museum Store Featured Artist of the Month: Marty Mitchell
<p><strong>April – Museum Store Artist of the Month</strong></p><p><strong>Marty Mitchell</strong></p><p>My work explores questions about how we are acculturated and socialized, and therefore, how we view our environment as we are trained by society. I focus on the sense of autobiography within a landscape context. I explore an idea that our socialization causes us to view that environment in very conditioned ways, gender and role-playing being significant factors. Women have traditionally been trained to experience their surroundings from a limited, or ‘bounded,’ perspective, ie: from the intimacy of home and garden, whereas men have traditionally been encouraged to view the space around them with the panoramic vision of ‘manifest destiny.’ In understanding this, I seek to contrast intimate and easily overlooked spaces with vast, deep spaces, creating opposition in and of view.</p><p>Admission to the Museum Store is always free. </p><p><em>Image caption:</em> Winter Walk, by Marty Mitchell</p> 2018-04-27 16:00:00 -0500

Edward Hopper: Selections from the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
<p>Edward Hopper: Selections from the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York</p><p>This exhibition of thirteen seminal works, all drawn from the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, traces the early trajectory of Edward Hopper’s career in works from 1906 to 1933.</p><p>Edward Hopper (1882-1967) was a prominent American realist painter and printmaker. Best known for capturing what he saw as the solitude and isolation of modern American life, Hopper’s works include austere interiors, moody cityscapes, and starkly beautiful rural landscapes. His art injects the psychological lives of his figures into what otherwise may appear to be straightforward depictions of everyday life. Solitary figures contemplate their existence in these various locales, all highlighted with Hopper’s extraordinarily sensitive use of light.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Edward Hopper, <em>Cobb's Barns and Distant Houses</em>, 1930-1933, oil on canvas, 29 1/8 x 43 1/8 in.
