A torrential rain storm and hail were the prelude to the opening of my exhibition, Terratorium, at the Musée-Galérie Carnot in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, Burgundy! Nonetheless, lots of people came, were passionate art lovers and fascinated by metalpoint. What more could one ask of a vernissage?
I am proud to be exhibiting metalpoint drawings about the wonderful Burgundian terroir in the exhibition, Terratorium at the Musée-Galerie Carnot in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, Burgundy from May 4th until October 19th, with the opening reception on May 4th, at 18.00 hours.
Learn the medieval art of metalpoint drawing from Jeannine Cook, one of the world’s few modern masters of this ancient pre-graphite drawing technique. Working on prepared paper with silver, gold, or copper, the subtle shimmering slow-art method is deeply meditative and yields stunning tonal results.
The opening of my exhibition about the terroir - the soil, climate, vines, etc. - of Chablis wines was a lovely event. Now the metalpoint exhibition is open every Saturday and Sunday, when L & C Poitout winery is open for wine-tasting and viewing the art.
The opening of my reception, "Intimidades: Dibujos en Oro y Plata", was a very well-attended event, with the Fundación Barceló reporting very favourable comments about the art.
My large silverpoint exhibition, “Intimidades: Dibujos en Oro y Plata” at the Fundación Barceló, Palma de Mallorca, has taken a long time to prepare, mainly during the different artist residencies I have had in France and Portugal in past months. The opening reception will be on 14th September; the gallery will also be open during the big art festival in Palma, the Nit de l’Art, in mid-September.
My metalpoint, "The Lace of Fragility: Lemon Leaves", will be on display at the Pro Arte y Cultura Group Exhibition, at the Castillo de Son Mas, Andraitx, Mallorca, from Friday, May 19th until the exhibiiton closes on 26th May, 2017.
Jeannine Cook and Jeffrey Lewis, two long-term artist colleagues and friends, exhibit their silverpoint drawings, quiet lustrous voices that counter-act today's shrill discourse in the public arena.
"Evoking Ashantilly", a joint exhibition of drawings and mixed media by Jeannine Cook and Marjett Schille, will be accompanied by workshops and events celebrating The Ashantilly Historic Site in Darien, Georgia.
