Artist's Talk by Agnes Murray - The Scottish Pictures (Art and Life)
Tuesday, May 12, 2015
7:30 pm
Hudson House, 3247 Johnson Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463
Free and open to the public.
Agnes Murray will give a slide talk, sponsored by the Riverdale Art Association on her recent art work that was exhibited in her first solo exhibit in New York City, at Tabla Rasa Gallery in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Approaching Slains Castle is a group of work that includes large-scale monotypes, inspired by the ruined manor house, located on the northeast coast of Scotland. Contrasting with images inspired by the ruins of Slains Castle are images inspired by a far more humble neighborhood, Roanheads, in Peterhead, not far from Slains Castle. These two sites have inspired the artist through several bodies of work over many years and the juxtaposition itself has provoked thoughts of the lack of sustainability of the old social order and its current manifestation in global income inequality. Ideas, working process, art and life will be interwoven in the narrative of how the work has come about. Approaching Slains Castle, was funded in part though through a grant provided from crowd source funding from the USA Projects (now Hatchfund).
The Bronx Recognizes Its Own (BRIO) award for 2014 granted by the Bronx Council on the Arts was based on submission of this body of work.
