Liz Moore & Associates Partering with the Linda Matney Fine Art Gallery and ArtCNU Alumni to Display Local Art in Oyster Point Office

Back

Liz Moore & Associates is excited to partner with the Linda Matney Fine Art Gallery and ArtCNU alumni to display local art in the lobby of their Oyster Point office.

The art will be unveiled on Friday, April 15th and will be accompanied by a wine and cheese reception from 5-7pm.

The CNU Show is curated by John Lee Matney, owner and director of the Linda Matney Fine Art Gallery and Christi Harris, Chair of the Department of Fine Art and Art History at Christopher Newport University and will run through June 2, 2016.

"The CNU exhibit at Liz Moore and Associates is a natural extension of what the gallery has been doing for over 5 years which is exploring the commercial potential as well as the integrity of art projects as exhibits of cultural importance. The artists' statements speak of various interpretations of current life in the US and the work is progressive on various levels with regards to theme, color, and design, and these are the very reasons the art has integrity in the contemporary home or office.

Kristin and Alan Skees are helping to shape the Studio Art program at CNU in the Department of Fine Art and Art History. They are also incredibly successful and prodigious artists. Their artwork is contemporary because it takes things from today’s society and processes them through individual filters. The first filter would be handcrafts in relationship to domesticity with a humorous sensibility and simultaneous metaphorical content. The second filter would be processing (literally) and disassembling the world into techie tidbits of data and dabbling in the delights of tinkering and programming.

The wonderful ArtCNU alumni included in this exhibit are Shaun Whiteside and Ryan Lytle. They are both prolific and driven as artists. They embody what they teach in our department, and what art professors intend for students to achieve with their work.

Shaun’s work is very focused on process, of manipulation of materials to create a meditative and dynamic space in order to express uncertainty and error in the political world around us. Ryan is a recent graduate with an upcoming senior thesis exhibit at CNU. Ryan is infinitely creative, a builder. He can make whatever figment his mind comes up with in a resolved and unified, structurally sound sculpture.

Linda Matney Gallery has watched the careers of some of our represented artists move forward in the cutting edge decorative and investment art categories. Our facilitation and collaborations with these artists have helped to inspire and build the trust of the art buying public as they explore the deeper catalogues of artists. Though the artists in this exhibition are very recently associated with the gallery, they have some of the same qualities of the best artists we’ve worked with over the last five years." ~ John Lee Matney
