Davante Bolton, Oneonta New York

Today,  In SUNY Oneonta's Fine Art building there will be an art show taken place exhibiting over fifth teen different paintings. In this show there will be different paintings, drawings, films, prints, sculptures and photography. The independent sprite gives over twenty-four artist a chance to display their material to divorced school.
The goal of this exhibition to me is very simple and straight to the point. it is to show a diversity of styles and approaches to making art,  including artist that span age and career timeless. The material that you will get will be generous doses of heart and mind, fantasy, carefully observed reality, dirt, water, wind and fire, intimate moments. 


 Wijnanda Deroo is the painter who managed to  make a collage of multiple painter's pieces that create the concept she trying to obtain. Wijinanda Deroo does not limit herself to the known in fact, she seems to search out the unknown and unfamiliar.  Whether traveling within her native Holland or her adopted home, the United States, or exploring countries much farther afield Indonesia, China, Russia, Mexico Deroo does not shy away from taking this travel a step deeper.  Visiting the interiors of public buildings, homes, factories, hotels, she seems to be searching for the heart of the matter, the belly of the beast.
                                                                                   



Here is just an example of some people that are here to really examine the material. I asked them if they would give an interview they wouldn't  agree to doing so because they were just there to view the work.  Plus the weather outside had them unprepared to be on anyones film they told me!

Paintings by Lisbeth FirminLisbeth Firmin was born in Paducah, Kentucky in 1949. She is a contemporary American realist known for her urban landscapes. For over four decades her work has been in hundreds of solo and group shows across the country and internationally. In 2000, she left New York City for upstate NY, where she paints in her studio in a small village in Delaware County every day.

These are paintings that I found very interesting and just have to show those who won't attend this event ! In the age when technology can send a picture of you looking at work in the exhibition around the world faster than you can this sentence. To me because of this new aspect in life we forget the hard work and dedication the artists put in their craft.
