ART REVOLUTION: REINTERPRET, REINVENT & REDEFINE
We are currently in the midst of an artistic revolution. No other time has seen such innovation in the way art can be intellectualized, produced and presented into the culture. Artists are breaking from conventional approaches, reexamining the fundamental methodology in which they work. They are becoming much more forward-thinking, almost entrepreneurial, venturing out with a content-driven focus to discover new pathways for their work to flourish and prosper. The traditionally accepted role of art and the artist is being reinterpreted, reinvented and redefined to embrace a new paradigm, opening the door to a more progressive social consciousness. It's truly an exciting time to be an artist.
About the Lecture: Reinterpret, Reinvent and Redefine is an insightful lecture and highly visual presentation by multimedia artist and author Lisa L. Cyr that will provide valuable knowledge into the ideology behind groundbreaking, multi-media work that is created on the cutting-edge. The work of many of today's leading artists and illustrators will be revealed with exciting behind-the-scene looks that shed light on signature processes and techniques. Two-dimensional, three-dimensional, digital and new media work will be shown in inventive combinations. The lecture will also include a survey of the historical influences behind contemporary thinking and approaches, unfolding the origins of unconventional picture making throughout the decades. The artists to be featured include: Marshall Arisman, Brad Holland, Dave McKean, Barron Storey, David Mack, Kazuhiko Sano, Fred Otnes, Michael Mew, Kathleen Conover, Rudy Gutierrez, Lynne Foster, Lisa L. Cyr, Cynthia von Buhler, Robert Maloney, Susan Leopold, AE Ryan, Matt Manley, Stephanie Dalton Cowan, Richard Tuschman, Dorothy Simpson Krause and Camille Utterback.
“Create from the heart, innovate without boundaries, strive for greatness and speak to the culture in ways that inspire and motivate.” - Lisa L. Cyr
