Bitter Fruits Altered Esthetics

I will be showing ten prints which make up a series called "Michele, theme and variation". Print A is displayed below the rest will follow.

Bitter Fruits

January 31-February 28, 2008

A study of woman as object in art.

The history of art has largely been written by works that resulted from and served to perpetuate the male gaze. These works tell us a great deal about the roles women have played in art and society, and also about how women are viewed today. Altered Esthetic's February exhibition, Bitter Fruit, will examine how contemporary artists--both male and female--deal with this shared history, and where it has left us. We hope to illuminate the issue through a selection of work that comments not only upon this history, but upon the possibility of a future located outside the conventional narrative history of art.

The Bitter Fruits exhibit will feature sculpture, painting, photography, and performance art from over 80 artists.

Please join us for the opening reception Friday February 1st, 2008 - 7pm-10pm

in the main gallery of Altered Esthetics

Benazir Bhutto

I have always been a fan of Benazir Bhutto, a secular woman in power in an Islamic country. She seemed a very strong person viewed from the middle of the North American continent. When she was first deposed and exiled I painted a small portrait of her. 12"x8"

John, Small Lino print

On this series I started using some of the techniques for ink application used by the Germen Expressionists such as applying the ink with a brushto flat areas to at texture as can be seen here in the face. Again my scanner would not pick up the light yellow in the shirt, gotta rescan. "John", 3.5"Tx2.5"W Linoleum block Print, Four Color print 2007 Edition of 15 by John Terwilliger

Lino print "Lance"

I took a powder for a couple months but managed to make some small art card prints for Christmas. Here is one. The scanner did not pick up the light yellow in the rectangle behind the head. The ink was very light with a lot of translucent medium in it.
