JRAC · FOILED AGAIN! · EXHIBITION · RECEPTION

Media graphics à la Alice Lynn Greenwood-Mathe’s entry “Foiled Again Man” and Daria Claiborne’s floral entry times six.
"I was struggling with how best to convey the FOILED AGAIN! exhibition’s selected theme until my answer came in a dream!
While sleeping, I was reminded that when I went to the 2022 Maple Leaf Festival parade
I saw this figure strolling and waving in what appeared to be a suit of foil. Inspired I snapped a series of photos.
Waking from my dream I chose a photo to translate into this animated painted image. Voilà!" ~ Alice Lynn

FOILED AGAIN! AWARDS

“This is an incredible collection of local talent. Seeing how all of the artists
incorporated the theme of the show into their work
is an absolute treat and makes a stunning impression when viewed in person.
A difficult show to judge because of my relationship with many of the artists,
I was blown away by the overall impact of the work as an exhibition.”

NELLIE MITCHELL, JUROR

FIRST PLACE AWARD | DIANA BRAY | Welcome to the Campsite, 1980s | 22 x 28 | mixed media | $250 | SOLD!

Anyone can take top quality materials and produce a fine work of art, but it takes a skilled eye and a deft hand to take a bunch of trash and render something so stunning. The rich velvety patina on ‘Welcome to the Campsite’ resonates an elegant luxury. The use of color, texture and depth brings to life a composition that is incredibly beautiful and memorable. It has a powerful message infused subtly as a familiar still life (something we shouldn’t be used to seeing) while serving as a fresh warning against society’s blind eye to inconsequential garbage in a stunning way. | Nellie Mitchell, Juror

SECOND PLACE AWARD | HELEN KUNZE | Be Mine | 12x12 | oil | $375 | SOLD!

Proof that big things can come in small packages, this oil painting leaves a grand impression. This piece shines, a simple thing, so mundane yet it feels exotic and intimate, a kiss depicted as lust. The creamy colors and textures of the background hint at a yumminess found in a Thiebaud, while the foil wrapping dazzles with layers of texture and opulent color, a richness that serves as an absolute treat. The figure-ground relationship provides a gestalt experience, when you see someone capture it so elegantly, you recognize it as a thing of pure beauty. | Nellie Mitchell, Juror

THIRD AWARD | DEBBIE REED | Passage to India | 28x37 | watercolor & gold leaf | $750

The artist showcases the many delightful qualities of watercolor in this mixed media piece. It takes true restraint and dedication to the craft to make such charming decisions within a composition. It is illustrative and grand, with a hint of a story not told beneath the surface. The expert application of knowing when to suggest through hinting and when to propel to the surface all the details throughout, as well as utilizing repetition, pattern and primary colors, make this piece a true show stopper in its adherence to the lovely gilded theme. | Nellie Mitchell, Juror

BEST REFLECTION OF EXHIBITION THEME AWARD | BRENDA SAGENG | The Moon Danced while the Stars Sang | 7x5 | encaustic-metal point-silverpoint-pastels-gold leaf & watch parts | $200 | SOLD!
Ethereal, mercurial, luminescent, a shimmering magic whirlwind of wax with delicate flecks of gold create a composition so effortless and pleasant it resonates with the soul. It communicates things we don’t have words for, but we recognize them when we see them, when we feel them. It is a dream and an experience. It is like being on the cusp of the future and the past, the edge of infinity. It is truly a tiny treasure. | Nellie Mitchell, Juror

HONORABLE MENTION AWARD | CHERYL CHURCH | Careening through the Universe | 26x18 | watercolor | $585

Wow, this is an impressive machine. The way that the shiny chrome reflects the moving world beyond is an unexpected beauty created by a very skilled hand, with an eye for extreme detail. This composition captures hard vs. soft, landscape vs. still life, action vs. rest, with each element of color and line working together in a wonderful harmony. The lovely balance of negative space and maximal detail provide an enchanting composition throughout. This is a beautiful painting, very well done. | Nellie Mitchell, Juror

HONORABLE MENTION AWARD | CHADAN TOMLIN |
Their Ethereal Peace | 30x24 | oil on board | $2,000

There is something haunting about this painting. Suggestive of angels and demons, it feels like the beginning of a story that has been conjured by accident. The longer I look at it, the more I feel taken to a forbidden place, a place most artists are afraid to take a viewer. It has a dark beauty, something from a tarot reading or a story told by a gypsy, late at night. Sometimes the things that resonate with us the most are the things that we understand the least. An uncomfortable tension and a quality of intangibility hint at an invisible presence beyond the canvas. I like art that doesn’t tell me everything, and this piece absolutely leaves me wanting more. | Nellie Mitchell, Juror
