Julie Stark Revisiting Beginnings NYC Streets 1983-1985

JULIE STARK

Revisiting Beginnings ~ NYC Streets 1983-85 Opening Reception ~ January 29, 2-4 pm

Gallery Talk ~ February 17, 2 pm

Julie Stark (b March 6, 1961), a native of Kutztown Pennsylvania, moved to New York City in 1983 for her last BFA semester to intern with the Artist-Photographer Cindy Sherman. As an apprentice for Sherman, Stark worked in the photo industry learning and honing skills in set and location lighting, darkroom film processing and worked as a fine printer.

Stark went on to receive a BFA degree from Kutztown University with a concentration in photography and film. Eventually she sought a job in video post-production to have access to editing equipment, early digital compositing and motion graphics. She worked at National Video center, NYC for 5 years learning video post-production which led her to a position of Post-production Art Director for USA Networks. It was here that she began combining all these skills into compositing live action, with computer generated elements and entered the world of film visual effects.

Stark moved to the west coast in 1990 and began working in the film industry. She worked as a film compositor, and compositing and lighting supervisor on many feature films such as, Life of Pi (which won an Oscar for VFX in 2013), Happy Feet, Golden Compass, Django Unchained, Harry Potter, Fast and Furious, and countless others until leaving the industry in 2013 to work on her artistic endeavors full time. Presently Julie is the owner/operator of Stark Juice, a cold press juice company.

"George Catlin - North American Indian Portfolio"

"The exhibition will run from November 6 - December 11, in the Mahady Gallery

Opening reception is November 6 from 2-4 p.m.

Gallery talk will be on Wednesday November 17 at 3pm

George Catlin
North American Indian Portfolio, Hunting Scenes & Amusements
Born in 1796 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, George Catlin was an accomplished American painter, author and explorer who is credited as being the first great artist to travel widely among the North American Plains Indians to document in art the life and culture of the Indian peoples. Catlin’s impressive North American Indian portfolio includes twenty-five detailed, exquisitely lithographed images of amazing hunting and sporting scenes as well as Indian dance ceremonies such as The Buffalo Dance, The Snow-Shoe Dance and The Bear Dance. In addition to his art, Catlin is credited as a pioneer of the environmental movement, who championed the stewardship of our nation's natural resources.

Catlin's North American Indian Portfolio contains the results of his years of painting, living with and travelling amongst the Great Plains Indians. Catlin summarized the Native American as ""an honest, hospitable, faithful, brave, warlike, cruel, revengeful, relentless, -- yet honorable, contemplative and religious being."" In a famous passage from the preface of his North American Indian Portfolio, Catlin describes how the sight of several tribal chiefs in Philadelphia led to his resolution to record their way of life: ""the history and customs of such a people, preserved by pictorial illustrations, are themes worthy of the lifetime of one man, and nothing short of the loss of my life shall prevent me from visiting their country and becoming their historian."" He saw no future for either their way of life or their very existence, and with these thoughts always at the back of his mind he worked, against time, setting himself a truly punishing schedule, to record what he saw. From 1832 to 1837 he spent the summer months sketching the tribes and then finished his pictures in oils during the winter. The record he left is unique, both in its breadth and also in the sympathetic understanding that his images constantly demonstrate. A selection of the greatest of images from this record were published in the North American Indian Portfolio in an effort to reach as wide an audience as possible."

2020 Summer MFA

Tiffany Dugas, Artist Statement : My work reflects my personality by using carefully placed components, thoughtful palettes, unique edginess, and clean designs. While I use a variety of materials and processes in each project, my methodology is consistent. Although there may not always be material similarities between the different projects, they are linked by the carefully thought out uses of color. My most recent work is deeply involved in color and its values, hues, and saturations in collages. These pieces are created from cut magazines and assembled on canvases according to where those colors would fall on the color wheel. Through the careful use of color and its counterparts, I can clearly communicate thoughts, emotions and perceptions.

I am a firm believer in creating a bold statement and that art is about communication and creating connections between people. And I think, now more than ever, people everywhere are yearning for that connection.
