Recreating the Masters

The Recreating the Masters Members’ Exhibit has been installed in the Depot’s Skylight Gallery. Twenty-five Mooresville Arts members are featured in this group exhibit. These “master artists” were pre-selected, and each member was assigned a master artist. Members then created a new piece of work, in response to and in recreation of their master artist’s style, subject matter and/or medium. This too is a multimedia exhibit, showcasing paintings and drawings, photography and digital art, mixed media, clay and more. This is an amazing showcase of contemporary art and master artists!

Participating Artists (and their master artist assignments) include: Traci Arney (David Hockney), Sandie Bell (Romero Britto), Meg Crowley (Berthe Morisot), Carleen Davis (Marc Chagall), Pascale Doxy (Giovanni Garzoni), Sandy Eaton (Alexander Calder), Ed Harris (Augusta Savage), Leighton Isaacs (John Singer Sargent), Helen Langhorne (Helen Frankenthaler), Brad Lephew (Andrew Wyeth), Peggy McBride (Andy Warhol), Christopher McIntosh (Pablo Picasso), Marcy Murphy (Edgar Degas), Kathy Murray (Wassily Kandinsky), Barbara O’Reilly (Henri Matisse), Peter O’Reilly (Grant Wood), Amy Pennell (Helma af Klint), Brenda Pokorny (Yayoi Kusama), Michael Ritzie (Frances Benjamin Johnston), Mark Stephenson (Rembrandt), Patrick Turner (Dorothea Lange), Tina Vincent (Romare Bearden), Joyce Vukela-Mayer (Frank Stella), Kathy Weiss (Georges Seurat), and Nicole Weldy (Grandma Moses).

Chesapeake Containment Systems is sponsoring both exhibits.
