David Min: A Life Painting Exhibition
The exhibition is presented in-gallery, NO ONLINE COMPONENT.
September 24 - October 30
In-gallery reception Thursday September 24, 5pm-6:30pm
Please join us at Emeritus Gallery for a remarkable exhibition of life-painting, years in the making, by artist David Min. Observational figure-rendering has an enormous history, and is a common element in arts education. One thing that makes Min's figurative works special is his dedication to a type of committed partnership with his painted subjects. For the exhibition, Min has selected 20 works, all nude depictions of "J.J.", a male artist's model. Min describes as follows: "J.J. -- diligent and admirable, someone I've met and drawn over many years." While some life-painters treat their subjects more as objects, Min's images are genuinely empowering to their subjects. They are celebratory of dignity and humanity.
