The Metro Montage is an annual juried exhibition sponsored by the MARIETTA/COBB MUSEUM OF ART. My 40 x 60 in. painting above (of one of my favorite models) will be exhibited at the Museum at the time listed below. I'm told that after 12 years, this exhibition will be the best yet. The entries were from all over the country, and the quality of the works were top notch and varied in style and media. I'm looking forward to attending this reception. Some friends and a fellow employee at Kennesaw State University, Matt Mitros, was accepted into the exhibition as well.
The machine can symbolize the endeavor for betterment or a search for good and the unknown. It represents a drive for expression or exploration. It is a metaphor for the instinct to just keep moving. Yet, even with all of its positive attributes, perhaps the machine has isolated Man from the world. After reaching new heights, perhaps the Man in this painting recognizes what he has taken for granted. Or perhaps, he is contemplating the challenge of his next move. Either way, he is holding. This painting branches from a series about Man and his relationship with machines.
