SUMMARY:‘Drawing Down the Moon’ by Joshua Bronaugh  - Week 1
DESCRIPTION:‘Drawing Down the Moon’\nNew Work by Joshua Bronaugh \nDrawing Down the Moon is a new series of 18 paintings by Joshua Bronaugh inspired by the ancient tradition of the same name\, which draws upon the moon for energy\, wisdom\, strength and any number of emotional gifts that may spring forward to the practitioner.  The work is also an exploration\, as well as a strong statement\, of a limited palette\, and the effects it can accomplish in contemporary figurative painting. \nJoshua Bronaugh began making red paintings after viewing a full color portrait through a piece of amber colored glass. It was a way to check the value relationships in a painting by reducing the image to monochrome. Bronaugh found this version of the painting compelling enough to begin experimenting with the limited palette and a new collection. At the same time Bronaugh became aware of the ‘Drawing Down the Moon’ tradition\, and realized the boldness of his limited palette perfectly paralleled the connection of power “Drawing Down the Moon’ often evokes. Bronaugh successfully suggests the various methods used in the ritual through the many stances he captures of his “mortal vessels”. He further cements the theme of power with the dominant use of cadmium red. \n \n“These ambitious paintings are made entirely from cadmium. The dramatic palette produces a collection that is utterly electric”.   – Elizabeth Cave\, Gallery Director \n“ ‘Drawing Down the Moon’ is a ritual during which an individual enters a trance and requests that the Goddess\, symbolized by the Moon\, enter her body and speak through her. She then exists in an altered state of consciousness. I find this entire process to be a metaphor for recognizing one’s own empowerment. Some of these paintings also deliberately reference the Pythia\, commonly known as the Oracle of Delphi\, who was widely credited for her prophecies inspired by being filled by the spirit of the god Apollo”.  – JBronaugh \nJoshua Bronaugh is an American painter best known for his portraits and classical nude paintings. His paintings celebrate the organic process of the oldest painting methods: a direct response to the tempo set by an impatient\, technological culture. \nHis compositions reflect a balance of gravity and ambiance which is reflected in the kinetic energy of his figures\, who themselves seem poised to act with grace and conviction. Bronaugh has a BFA in painting from Murray State University and has studied with the celebrated visionary artists Alex and Allison Grey. He has lived and worked in the United States\, Italy\, Poland\, Ukraine\, and Russia.

SUMMARY:Marti Jones Dixon’s ‘Nashville’ - Week 5 (5/29 - 6/2): 10am - 3pm
DESCRIPTION:MARTI JONES DIXON’S ‘NASHVILLE’  \nPaintings Inspired by the Iconic 1975 Robert Altman Film \nMarti Jones Dixon’s ‘Nashville’ is a new series of paintings that capture “fractions” of human movement inspired by the iconic Robert Altman film. The collection includes a dozen works\, mostly “in wide-screen”\, or a 10” x 20” or 15” x 30” rectangular format to complement their cinema graphic nature. Moments captured may include scenes with legendary actors like Lily Tomlin\, Karen Black\, Shelley Duvall\, Jeff Goldblum depicted at the Parthenon\, Nashville International Airport\, or Elliston Place’s Exit/In\, where Keith Carradine sings his Oscar-winning “I’m Easy”.  However\, the artist’s goal is not to recreate stills of the film\, but to simply “elongate the fraction of a second that a still image conveys\, that implies movement”. \n“Four decades before becoming one of America’s “it” cities\, Nashville was the subject of a sprawling\, 24-character study that was simultaneously hailed by critics as a cinematic masterpiece…. Directed by Robert Altman\, the big-screen Nashville opened in New York City on June 11th\, 1975\, although the movie didn’t host its actual Music City premiere until two months later” – The Rolling Stone. \nMarti Jones Dixon has studied various disciplines of visual art\, but her interest in the human figure as a subject has consistently been the central focus. \nThe movie ‘Nashville’ is a cornerstone of 1970’s American moviemaking with Robert Altman’s panoramic view of the country’s political and cultural landscape set in Music City. The exhibit will offer an occasion to celebrate the monumental and enduring effect of our city’s deep and very rich culture\, in a modernly retrospective way. \nMarti Jones Dixon’s ‘Nashville’ \nApril 28\, 2018 – June 2nd\, 2018 \nOpening Reception for the Artist – Saturday\, April 28th 6-8:00pm. \nLeQuire Gallery 4304 Charlotte Ave.  Nashville\, TN 37209 \nMarti Jones Dixon\, is a multi-talented singer-songwriter and contemporary realist painter in the United States\, who has been praised for her ability to interestingly and accurately capture the spare\, mundane moments of urban\, everyday life often using strong\, defined lighting in unassuming scenes. This artist’s knack for revealing human nature at and of the commonplace is shown deceptively simple\, yet it is her decided and complex use of color\, contrast\, and geometry\, that subtly bring casual life moments to attention with an overwhelming familiarity. \nThe Nashville series showcases Marti Jones Dixon’s passion for human nature depicted through one of the most iconic films about one of the country’s most iconic cities. \nMarti Jones Dixon\, sings\, records\, and performs under “Marti Jones”\, and exhibits under “Marti Jones Dixon”. She grew up in Ohio where she performed with her sisters in a folk music group and went on to graduate from Kent State with a degree in studio art. Marti has continued with a duel artistic career having recorded and performed with her producer/husband Don Dixon (REM\, The Smithereens\, Fetchin Bones) for decades while creating and exhibiting new visual art. She has more than 10 albums under her belt\, and has appeared on more than 35 albums including Joe Cocker\, The Smithereens\, Robert Crenshaw and Mary Chapin Carpenter. \nABOUT Marti Jones Dixon’s ‘Nashville’  \n“I am interested in the human animal and the manifestation of movement.  The fraction of a second we capture with a glimpse of someone\, even if frozen by the image caught by camera\, is always followed by implied movement.  Elongating the fraction of the second that a still image conveys is my goal.  But unlike DuChamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2)\, which depicts the positions of movement\, I want it to happen in the viewer’s mind. That requires putting movement in the paint.  Painting from the moving image allows for me to see the literal movement in the moment it’s happening and to decide what best conveys the anticipation of what will happen next.  As a medium\, painting allows for fluidity of movement.   \nI began to examine this process with the Maysles brothers’ documentary\, Grey Gardens.  A friend brought me the dvd. I had never heard of it.  Several of us were watching and inevitably we would have to pause the movie so someone could get a drink or go to the bathroom.  It was great fun\, but I became transfixed with the image that would be frozen on the screen.  In the middle of an intended movement\, each image in my head continued to move with the lift of the wrist\, the shift of the waist\, the structure of bone and muscle ready to land.  The way the younger Edie carried herself was so lyrical and beautiful.  I wanted to paint that. \nI further examined the idea with scenes in Alfred Hitchcock’s films\, narrowing it down to his cameo appearances in which he would be an incidental passer-by. \nValley of the Dolls became my next filmed subject\, and most recently\, Robert Altman’s Nashville.” – Marti Jones Dixon \nOF SPECIAL INTEREST \nIllustrator\, Bill Myers\, who happens to live in Nashville\, worked on the iconic ’70’s film creating much of the artwork including the opening credits\, the soundtrack cover\, the movie poster and the cover of the screenplay. Myers has agreed to exhibit some of the original artwork from the film during the run of the exhibit. \nMarti Jones Dixon’s Nashville coincides with the 2018 Nashville Film Festival. LeQuire Gallery will host this year’s Film Festival Closing Night Reception. As a tribute to the season\, LeQuire Gallery will donate a portion of sales to Nashville Film Festival for any sales in May from those who show proof of purchase of new membership to that organization.

SUMMARY:Marti Jones Dixon’s ‘Nashville’ - Week 2 (5/8 - 5/12): 10am - 3pm
DESCRIPTION:MARTI JONES DIXON’S ‘NASHVILLE’  \nPaintings Inspired by the Iconic 1975 Robert Altman Film \nMarti Jones Dixon’s ‘Nashville’ is a new series of paintings that capture “fractions” of human movement inspired by the iconic Robert Altman film. The collection includes a dozen works\, mostly “in wide-screen”\, or a 10” x 20” or 15” x 30” rectangular format to complement their cinema graphic nature. Moments captured may include scenes with legendary actors like Lily Tomlin\, Karen Black\, Shelley Duvall\, Jeff Goldblum depicted at the Parthenon\, Nashville International Airport\, or Elliston Place’s Exit/In\, where Keith Carradine sings his Oscar-winning “I’m Easy”.  However\, the artist’s goal is not to recreate stills of the film\, but to simply “elongate the fraction of a second that a still image conveys\, that implies movement”. \n“Four decades before becoming one of America’s “it” cities\, Nashville was the subject of a sprawling\, 24-character study that was simultaneously hailed by critics as a cinematic masterpiece…. Directed by Robert Altman\, the big-screen Nashville opened in New York City on June 11th\, 1975\, although the movie didn’t host its actual Music City premiere until two months later” – The Rolling Stone. \nMarti Jones Dixon has studied various disciplines of visual art\, but her interest in the human figure as a subject has consistently been the central focus. \nThe movie ‘Nashville’ is a cornerstone of 1970’s American moviemaking with Robert Altman’s panoramic view of the country’s political and cultural landscape set in Music City. The exhibit will offer an occasion to celebrate the monumental and enduring effect of our city’s deep and very rich culture\, in a modernly retrospective way. \nMarti Jones Dixon’s ‘Nashville’ \nApril 28\, 2018 – June 2nd\, 2018 \nOpening Reception for the Artist – Saturday\, April 28th 6-8:00pm. \nLeQuire Gallery 4304 Charlotte Ave.  Nashville\, TN 37209 \nMarti Jones Dixon\, is a multi-talented singer-songwriter and contemporary realist painter in the United States\, who has been praised for her ability to interestingly and accurately capture the spare\, mundane moments of urban\, everyday life often using strong\, defined lighting in unassuming scenes. This artist’s knack for revealing human nature at and of the commonplace is shown deceptively simple\, yet it is her decided and complex use of color\, contrast\, and geometry\, that subtly bring casual life moments to attention with an overwhelming familiarity. \nThe Nashville series showcases Marti Jones Dixon’s passion for human nature depicted through one of the most iconic films about one of the country’s most iconic cities. \nMarti Jones Dixon\, sings\, records\, and performs under “Marti Jones”\, and exhibits under “Marti Jones Dixon”. She grew up in Ohio where she performed with her sisters in a folk music group and went on to graduate from Kent State with a degree in studio art. Marti has continued with a duel artistic career having recorded and performed with her producer/husband Don Dixon (REM\, The Smithereens\, Fetchin Bones) for decades while creating and exhibiting new visual art. She has more than 10 albums under her belt\, and has appeared on more than 35 albums including Joe Cocker\, The Smithereens\, Robert Crenshaw and Mary Chapin Carpenter. \nABOUT Marti Jones Dixon’s ‘Nashville’  \n“I am interested in the human animal and the manifestation of movement.  The fraction of a second we capture with a glimpse of someone\, even if frozen by the image caught by camera\, is always followed by implied movement.  Elongating the fraction of the second that a still image conveys is my goal.  But unlike DuChamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2)\, which depicts the positions of movement\, I want it to happen in the viewer’s mind. That requires putting movement in the paint.  Painting from the moving image allows for me to see the literal movement in the moment it’s happening and to decide what best conveys the anticipation of what will happen next.  As a medium\, painting allows for fluidity of movement.   \nI began to examine this process with the Maysles brothers’ documentary\, Grey Gardens.  A friend brought me the dvd. I had never heard of it.  Several of us were watching and inevitably we would have to pause the movie so someone could get a drink or go to the bathroom.  It was great fun\, but I became transfixed with the image that would be frozen on the screen.  In the middle of an intended movement\, each image in my head continued to move with the lift of the wrist\, the shift of the waist\, the structure of bone and muscle ready to land.  The way the younger Edie carried herself was so lyrical and beautiful.  I wanted to paint that. \nI further examined the idea with scenes in Alfred Hitchcock’s films\, narrowing it down to his cameo appearances in which he would be an incidental passer-by. \nValley of the Dolls became my next filmed subject\, and most recently\, Robert Altman’s Nashville.” – Marti Jones Dixon \nOF SPECIAL INTEREST \nIllustrator\, Bill Myers\, who happens to live in Nashville\, worked on the iconic ’70’s film creating much of the artwork including the opening credits\, the soundtrack cover\, the movie poster and the cover of the screenplay. Myers has agreed to exhibit some of the original artwork from the film during the run of the exhibit. \nMarti Jones Dixon’s Nashville coincides with the 2018 Nashville Film Festival. LeQuire Gallery will host this year’s Film Festival Closing Night Reception. As a tribute to the season\, LeQuire Gallery will donate a portion of sales to Nashville Film Festival for any sales in May from those who show proof of purchase of new membership to that organization.
