SUMMARY:Adam Straus
DESCRIPTION:Out of Paradise is an exhibition of paintings by artist Adam Straus\, presenting and distorting idealized scenes of the natural world with incisive social commentary and a signature wry humor. \nAdam Straus\, Market Forces\, 2018\nSeductive and gloomily romantic with views of skylines and seascapes\, fields\, and mountains\, the paintings go beyond contemplation\, and articulate his concerns about the cruel reality of our planet. In his oils\, Straus represents the struggle and survival of mankind and mankind’s effect on nature. \nThis exhibition of Straus’s work will feature a collection of older pieces as well as more recent ones with a particularly timely relevance. Paintings displayed from his latest series contrast current events from 2016-2020 with an optimistic view of nature’s resilience. They juxtapose classic romantic landscapes of National Parks and images inspired by 19th-century artists with layers of recent newspaper coverage of politics\, racial tensions\, immigration\, human rights\, and other issues dominating current events. \nDon’t miss this eye-opening exhibition of the paintings of Adam Straus at our downtown gallery this summer. \nEXHIBITION DETAILS\nAdam Straus: Out of Paradise \nOn view June 18 – September 12\, 2021 \n100 N. Woodland Blvd. DeLand\, Florida 32720 \nAdmission: Members Free | Non-Members $5 \n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nAdam Straus is an American artist based in Riverhead\, New York. Starting as a photographer and sculptor in the the late ’70s and early ’80s\, he began making small paintings in 1986 of nocturnal landscapes inspired by his surroundings in north Florida. These paintings were often instilled with a dark humor\, social commentary\, and framed in the sheet lead he had been using on sculpture. \nHis technique has evolved throughout the years\, but always with a marked personality. In framing the paintings in lead or steel he adds a unique touch\, and more recently\, his pixelating technique evokes the particulate matter suspended in the air and water. \nStraus has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and internationally. His works can be seen in such collections as City of Orlando\, FL\, Mead Art Museum\, Amherst\, MA\, The Art Museum at F.I.U.\, Miami\, FL\, American Express\, Fidelity Investments\, Boston\, Lavandoo Corporation\, Geneva\, Switzerland\, among others. Straus received his B.A. at Miami-Dade Community College\, Miami and a B.S. in Mathematics at the University of Florida\, Gainesville. He later received his M.F.A. from Florida State University\, Tallahassee. Since 1990\, he has lived and worked in New York. \n  \nTop Image: Adam Straus\, Out of Paradise: After Heade\, 2018\, Oil and graphite on newspaper transferred and adhered to wood\, framed in lead\, 34 x 50 x 2 in.

SUMMARY:Second Chance
DESCRIPTION:Artist\, Teacher\, and Visual Art Curriculum Specialist\, Bryce Hammond presents a powerful and timely solo exhibition created in collaboration with students over the past 7 years. \nBryce Hammond\, Steak Sandwich\, 2019\, Acrylic and Polyurethane on panel\, 20 1/8 x 26 1/8 in.\nOriginally conceptualized around a body of work entitled “Beautiful and Broken”\, this unique exhibition took a U-turn when the 2020 pandemic brought the collaboration to a halt. Content and context had to be rediscovered. “Beautiful and Broken” had to be re-imagined\, re-purposed\, and re-built through the lens of a SECOND CHANCE. \nWith artworks including teacher calendars\, student hall passes\, and architectural subject matter\, Hammond went back to unfinished work and repurposed\, recycled\, and re-imagined the outcomes. He revisited unfinished multimedia projects and completed them. He went to the restaurants he had recently designed\, now closed due to COVID-19\, and pulled all of the work to show in a re-contextualized setting. Everything in this exhibition\, including the artist himself\, aims to explore a SECOND CHANCE. \n  \nWhen: February 26 – May 2\, 2021 \nWhere: 600 N. Woodland Blvd. DeLand\, Florida 32720 \nAdmission: $5 Non-Members | Members Free  \nPlease note: Due to ongoing COVID-19 precautions\, there will be no opening reception for this exhibition. \n  \nAbout the Artist\nBryce Hammond has been making artwork on a professional level for 26 years.

SUMMARY:Knowing What I Like
DESCRIPTION:George S. Bolge is not the kind of collector who “collects for profit pure and simple\, who buys works of art in wholesale lots\, only to stash them away in a warehouse where they have risen in value.” Rather\, our former CEO (and current Board of Trustees member) collects art for art’s sake\, seeing each acquisition as “the record of a vivid experience\, either a long pursuit or a struggle\, in which mounting desire has conquered prudence and economy.” \nHenri-Cartier Bresson\, Behind the Gare Saint-Lazara\, 1932\, Gelatin silver print\, 14 ½ x 9 ¾ in\nWith few exceptions\, most of the works in Bolge’s collection are small to medium in scale\, but covering an extensive artistic scope in terms of cultural and aesthetic content\, technique\, style\, and media. The art represented in this impressive exhibition was assembled over 40 years of personal interactions with artists – those with both national and international reputations\, and those whose talents have yet to be discovered. Familiar names include M.C. Escher\, Henri-Cartier Bresson\, Denis Smith\, and Arnold Newman. \nIn Bolge’s words\, “This exhibition is an attempt to select\, from as personal point of view as possible\, a group of painters\, sculptors\, and photographers who have given me – each in his or her own way – experiences that are pleasurable.  All of these are for me unique\, because each one makes a visual statement quite of their own making.” \nEXHIBITION DETAILS\nKnowing What I Like: The Private Collection of George S. Bolge \nJanuary 15\, 2021 – March 14\, 2021 \n100 N. Woodland Blvd. DeLand\, Florida 32720 \nAdmission: Members Free | Non-Members $5 \nPlease note: Due to continued COVID-19 considerations\, there will be no opening reception for this exhibition. \n  \nGeorge S. Bolge is Director Emeriti of the Museum of Art\, Fort Lauderdale\, Florida and the Boca Raton Museum of Art\, Boca Raton\, Florida. \n  \nTop image: Robert Rauschenburg\, Tropic Magazine Cover\, 1979\, Lithograph\, 12 x 21 in

SUMMARY:Renato Rampolla
DESCRIPTION:With a humanist understanding of a group so many choose not to notice\, Renato Rampolla is a Florida-based artist best known for his “Dignity” series of photographs – a compilation of portraits of the people he encounters\, most of them homeless\, while walking the streets with his camera. \nRenato Rampolla\, Doug\, 2017\, Archival pigment print\, 23 x 23 in\nFrom roadsides to over-passes\, makeshift camps to alleyways\, Rampolla hears their stories and photographs their telling faces in cities across the country\, with the artistic objective of capturing the light within. This eye-opening photographic exhibition serves to articulate the subject of human dignity: not just the dignity of the homeless\, but of all of us\, and our fundamental needs of belonging\, love\, respect\, and kindness. \nThe son of figurative artist Frank Rampolla\, Renato Rampolla evokes the heavy aspect of his father’s paintings while observing his subjects through the lens of humanity. \n“I want my viewer to connect eye-to-eye with [the homeless]\, with their soul. I use a small lens and get less than a foot away because\, to me\, every wrinkle captured tells a story\,” he says. “I want you to feel what they feel. With a bit of understanding\, people can build on empathy and compassion.” \n \nEXHIBITION DETAILS\nRenato Rampolla: Dignity – The Light Within\n \nJanuary 8\, 2021 – March 28\, 2021 \nMuseum of Art – DeLand \n600 N.

SUMMARY:Hollywood Stills
DESCRIPTION:From the very inception of the motion picture industry\, still images have accompanied the release and marketing of feature films\, drawing-in customers to the local “movie houses” with their evocative images and studies of the stars. From the late silent film era to more modern times\, artful and dramatically composed photographs were used to capture the essence of the features they highlighted. Displayed in glass cases outside the theaters\, these pictures were sometimes used in local print advertising\, as well as accompanying spicy stories in magazines like Photoplay and Modern Screen. \nMany of the artists were the movies’ own camera operators and crew members\, excellent still photographers who augmented their roles as on-set documentarians. Not only were specific moments from the actual films captured\, but also “behind the scenes” images of the cast\, crew\, and set. \nThis fascinating exhibition contains 200 of the best examples of these cinematic advertising images. Although these photographs were specifically created for promotional purposes\, they display a fine art sensibility\, demonstrating expert technical knowledge and often a keen sense of drama and composition. Many of the photographs in this collection were produced anonymously\, but others represent the work of more eminent Hollywood photographers such as Edward Steichen\, George Hurrell\, and Robert Coburn. \nSome of Hollywood’s most memorable movies are encapsulated in the dramatic impressions these photographs convey. The stunning exhibition is made possible by the Butler Institute of American Art\, through a generous gift from the private collection of Mr. and Mrs. George Kelley. \nExhibition Details:\nHollywood Stills: Photographs from the Butler Institute of American Art \nOn view March 27 – September 6\, 2020 \n600 N.

SUMMARY:Landscape Oil Painting Class
DESCRIPTION:In this 8-week class\, beginner and intermediate students will learn how to paint an oil landscape using photographs as a reference from start to finish. \nClass format will consist of demonstration\, group and individual instruction with a focus on color mixing\, brush techniques\, composition\, focal point\, and perspective. Students will gain an understanding of oil painting techniques and discover how to bring their inner feelings and individual artistic vision to the canvas. Photographs are used only as a starting point and John will teach you how to embellish the scene with color\, lighting and by adding other elements to personalize the image. \nAbout the Artist:\nJohn’s early training was completed at the Swain School of Design in New \nJohn Gamache\, Self Portrait\, Oil on Linen\nBedford\, Massachusetts and at Southeastern Massachusetts University. He spent many years after working as a freelance illustrator and designer for advertising agencies\, publishing companies\, and corporations. Within the last several years he has returned to fine art\, showing his personal works to the public. He considers his artistic schooling to have been “intensely” classical\, and acknowledges that the creation of art is intertwined with his life. \nJohn works in a traditional style of painting\, but is unconventional in the application and type of surface materials he uses in some of his works. His current body of work utilizes this style to create fascinating pieces reminiscent of his past artistic influences. \nYou can read more about John and view his work at:  www.johngamache.com \nEvent Details:\n8-week class \nTuesdays from February 4 – March 24\, 2020 \n9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. \n600 N.

SUMMARY:Wonderland
DESCRIPTION:Featuring a selection of large-scale artworks accompanied by videos documenting the artist’s creative process\, this exquisite exhibition is among the first to introduce Kirsty Mitchell’s fantastical photographs to American museum audiences. \nWonderland: Photographs by Kirsty Mitchell will be on view at the Museum of Art – DeLand through April 26\, 2020 at 100 N. Woodland Blvd. DeLand\, Florida 32720. Admission is free for all members\, and $10 for non-members. \n \nA trained fashion designer who has worked with international labels such as Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan\, Mitchell created elaborate costumes and props and collaborated with hair and make-up artist Elbie Van Eeden to compose and then photograph astonishingly beautiful\, fantastical scenes in the lush local landscape of her childhood home in rural England. \nBut the sublime beauty of Mitchell’s fairy tale world belies a profound heartbreak that compelled her to create it in the first place. As Mitchell explains: \n\nKirsty Mitchell\, The Pure Blood of a Blossom\, 2014\, Photograph\n‘Wonderland’ began in the summer of 2009\, born of grief for my mother Maureen\, who died seven months earlier in November 2008. Back then as I sat in my kitchen sewing the first rough costume\, nothing could have prepared me for the five-year journey that lay ahead. What started as a desperate distraction from the pain of reality\, led to a dramatic turning point in my career\, and consequently\, my entire life… \nKirsty Mitchell\, Gaia\, The Birth of an End\, 2013\, Photograph\nMitchell’s mother was an English teacher\, who spent over 30 years inspiring generations of children with her stories from classic literature\, folklore and plays. In April 2008\, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor that left her unable to return to her home to England from the small French village where she and her husband had retired. Instead of a funeral filled with her friends\, ex-pupils and the community she inspired\, the family had to make do with a small gathering\, which left Mitchell heartbroken and determined to do something unforgettable that would honor her mother’s memory forever. \nWhat began as a small summer photography project grew into the idea of creating a storybook without words\, dedicated to Mitchell’s mother. None of the pictures were a recreation of stories that already existed. Instead\, they were a blur of colors and settings inspired by the faded illustrations of Mitchell’s childhood books\, mixed with memories\, grief\, and her newfound spiritual connection to nature. \nTwo years into her entirely self-funded project (which utilized no stylists\, designers\, or huge teams of assistants)\, Mitchell decided to leave her full-time fashion career behind. Moving forward\, she would dedicate her life to completing the project and realizing her dream of producing the book. \nKirsty Mitchell on location in 2013\nWonderland continued for another three years and was completed in November 2014\, culminating in 74 photographs. After a number of offers from publishers\, in September 2015\, Mitchell decided to walk away from every contract and instead launch her own Kickstarter campaign in order to make the most beautiful book possible without any compromises. The campaign went on to become the most successfully crowdfunded photobook ever made\, raising over £334\,000 in just 28 days and was completely sold out within two months. In light of overwhelming public demand\, eight months later\, a second edition was released which now continues to sell around the world. \nThe series eventually garnered international media attention\, being recognized by Harper’s Bazaar\, Vogue Italia\, The Royal Photographic Society\, BBC News\, The Guardian\, and The Telegraph to name a few. It has since been exhibited in London\, Spain\, South Korea\, Italy\, the Netherlands\, and Sweden\, and now has over 400\,000 followers on social media. \nThe Wonderland Photo Book: Available for purchase this holiday season\nIn addition to this incredible exhibition\, the Museum of Art – DeLand is thrilled to offer the superbly produced Wonderland photo book for purchase this holiday season. Please call (386) 734-4371 or email contact@moartdeland.org to inquire about obtaining a copy of this exquisite gift. \nTo purchase a copy of the book Click here. \n  \nTop Image: Kirsty Mitchell\, Gammelyn’s Daughter: The Wonderland Series\, 2012\, Photograph

SUMMARY:What's the Story?
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: Our galleries are temporarily closed in light of the COVID-19 epidemic. This exhibition will be exclusively on-view online until we are able to re-open. Please follow us on our Facebook page and Instagram page to see pieces from this incredible collection FOR FREE\, posted on a regular basis. Thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to re-opening our galleries as soon as it is safe to do so. \n  \nWe have all heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. In this special exhibition\, we take a closer look at the important association between visual art and storytelling. \nSome of the earliest evidence of human activity suggests that people told stories with pictures. Stories shape our knowledge of the world and function as the foundation of memory and learning. Not only are they the emotional glue that connects us with our humanness\, they are a powerful medium for communicating ideas\, documenting history\, linking the past\, present\, and future\, and sharing knowledge with others. \nDon’t miss this uniquely insightful exhibition\, offering a rare opportunity to slow down\, look closely\, think deeply\, and find your own story. \nExhibition Details:\nDecember 21\, 2019 – March 29\, 2020 \nFollow us on our Facebook page and Instagram page to see pieces from this incredible collection FOR FREE\, posted on a regular basis. \n  \nTop Image: Stephen Althouse\, Door with Flames\, 2017\, Archival pigment print\, 88 x 60 in (Detail)
