• Art Exhibit: The Promise of Life- In Memory of Stephen Metcalf

  <p>Gilded Pear Gallery is honored to exhibit, posthumously, the paintings of Stephen Metcalf. This exhibition acts as a celebration of the artist, and his work, who passed away August 19, 2020. Due to the Derecho, a natural disaster that devastated the city of Cedar Rapids that same month, the gallery was unable to properly acknowledge his passing and is celebrating his life and art one year later.</p><p>On display in the show are Stephen’s recent oil paintings on paper as well as early works (c.1980). While the gallery is paying homage to the artists work, this exhibition is not a retrospective of his overall body of work.</p><p>"Simply put, I believe my work is about the act of painting. My paintings, which are non-objective, have influences in the environment. As a painter, my journey is one of discovery through the exploration of ideas, materials, and process. My techniques, which are my own, were not learned or invented in order to paint but were discovered through the act of painting. Each painting is a record of my journey and I invite you to engage in your own personal dialogue with them."</p><p>Born in Chicago, Stephen Metcalf grew up in the Midwest. As a child he practiced drawing and painting and by the time he started art school at the University of Illinois his drafting skills could mimic photographs. Frustrated by the tedious nature and predictability of this process, he decided to reinvent himself as an artist and as a graduate printmaking student at the University of Illinois he produced mixed media paintings and large scale works on paper that were recognized by their inclusion in major exhibitions like <em>Drawings USA 77</em> at the Minnesota museum of art and <em>Works on Paper</em> at the Art Institute of Chicago. After receiving his MFA in Art and Design, Stephen produced hundreds of paintings which are represented in public, private, and corporate collections throughout the United States, including the Illinois State Museum, the Minnesota Museum of Art, the Kirkwood Center Hotel, the U.S. Military Hospital on Nellis Airbase, and the Cleveland Clinic.</p><p>A reception will be held at the gallery September 17^th, 2021 from 5:00-7:30pm. *Event details regarding COVID-19 below. <em>The Promise of Life</em> is in the Second Floor Gallery and will share the same reception as Fred Easker’s solo exhibition “Meditations on Moments in the Landscape” in the Main Exhibition space on the first floor.</p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.

• Art Exhibit: The Promise of Life- In Memory of Stephen Metcalf

  <p>Gilded Pear Gallery is honored to exhibit, posthumously, the paintings of Stephen Metcalf. This exhibition acts as a celebration of the artist, and his work, who passed away August 19, 2020. Due to the Derecho, a natural disaster that devastated the city of Cedar Rapids that same month, the gallery was unable to properly acknowledge his passing and is celebrating his life and art one year later.</p><p>On display in the show are Stephen’s recent oil paintings on paper as well as early works (c.1980). While the gallery is paying homage to the artists work, this exhibition is not a retrospective of his overall body of work.</p><p>"Simply put, I believe my work is about the act of painting. My paintings, which are non-objective, have influences in the environment. As a painter, my journey is one of discovery through the exploration of ideas, materials, and process. My techniques, which are my own, were not learned or invented in order to paint but were discovered through the act of painting.

• Americans in Paris: Grant Wood and Marvin Cone's 1920 Trip to Paris

  <p>For three months in the summer of 1920, Grant Wood and his best friend Marvin Cone traveled to Paris to see great art, soak up the sights, and to paint. &nbsp;This brief sojourn proved to be pivotal for both artists, enhancing their nascent interest in Impressionism and painting en plein air. &nbsp;While each artist discontinued painting in this style beyond the early 1930s, this trip to Paris (Wood’s first trip abroad, Cone’s second) was critical to their development. &nbsp;What the artists did, saw, and painted is carefully outlined in Cone’s meticulous and well-written diary of the trip, including where the artists painted on which days. &nbsp;As such, this diary enables the ability to date certain works to the precise date of creation. &nbsp;It also allows viewers to see how each artist depicted the same scene, often in very different terms.</p> 2021-09-23 20:00:00 -0500
