July 12th – 28th, Core Art Space Open Show: Portraits, Poses And Tableaux Vivants

A portrait can tell a story of someone at a moment in time, of something happening around them. It could be the memory of someone lost to time and their sweet reflection. Images might suggest that a person was present because of what they left behind. A portrait might be the icons that tell the story of someone’s passions, their pets or their personality. Perhaps it’s how they wish to be seen and remembered.

Juror: Mark Brasuell is an artist based in Denver, Colorado, primarily known for his abstract paintings and drawings that incorporate vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes, and dynamic compositions. His work is inspired by the unknown, as well as his own personal emotional environment, current obsessions, and reverence for Modern Art.

The Core Annex will feature: “The Eye” – Geoff Keeton

The Eye is an exploration of both the eye that the photographer uses as well as the inner eye that we all possess. In Zen Buddhism, this inner eye is a manifestation of prajna, or what is called wisdom. The interplay of both the usual normal eye that we see out of is also interconnected to the inner eye that the Buddhist sees out of. The textual monologues associated with each print reveals an explanation of this inner eye. To see a ‘thing’ is to see the self. To see the self is to see the ‘thing.’ One does not get caught up in an inner and outer sense of self, but rather, sees the manifestation of what we are at our base. The eye and what is seen are one.

The Annex is available to rent for non-member shows. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
