Jim Condron- Art Exhibit Event






An event I attended recently was “Picking up the Pieces: Work by Jim Condron.” This particular event was an art exhibit held at the Julio Fine Arts Gallery at Loyola University Maryland. I found this event to be very interesting in that it was very colorful and definitely caught my attention, with one piece after the other being shown on displayed. The art exhibit ran from October 27th through November 22nd, 2017. 

The show showed around 35 pieces of Condron’s artwork, which the artist takes everyday pieces, and turns them into unexpected sculptures and paintings. His main use of medium is paint mixed with fragments. Condron takes the conventional and turns it into the unconventional, surprising viewers with unexpected creations. His use of color, texture and form really show through his artwork and pull the viewer in wanting to know the story behind such a creation. He tests the limits and goes beyond safe, creating talk worthy pieces. 


His show at the gallery was by the far the most interesting one I have attended and definitely one I wont forget. The bright colors and everyday objects created into unexpected creations was very cool and intriguing.I highly recommend going to a Jim Condron art exhibit if there is one near by or coming up because his work won't disappoint and will bring happiness and creativity.

Firewall- Event Presentation 1

Right before Thanksgiving break I attended an event at Loyola, which discussed an innovative art project hosted by Joyce Yu-Jean Lee. Ms. Lee is an artist who is based in NYC working with video, installations and performances. Her main medium is creating tech-based art based off of how culture shapes truth and portraying contemporary enlightenment. Her work has been shown globally and published in several high powering magazines and newspapers. This particular event showcased Ms. Lee’s work with FIREWALL.  This project is lead by three talented artists who set out to engage others in dialogue about Internet freedom, through pop up Internet cafes. Firewall is an interactive art and research project that sets up shop and invites people to look at online censorship in other countries specifically China through the search engine Baidu. Baidu is just like Google, but the Chinese version and is much more censored and controlled by the government oft

Tufte - Escaping Flatland

Ever since I started to appreciate art and fell in love with it, what annoyed me though was how to read more dimensions in my drawings and paintings. I love creating images but it always frustrated me on how to make my designs more appealing and draw the viewer in. As I grew older and learned more techniques on how to create an image with more dimensions my frustrations slowly started to disappear because now I could truly appreciate the hard work that goes into making a picture. Drawing on a two dimensional flatland is hard and it not easy to turn it into a three dimensional piece. Detail, percision and accuracy are just some of the ways into making sure a three dimensional image is created. What I found to be interesting from reading the article is that a three dimensional image can be so different from the actual image. Not every detail can always be attained when working on a two dimensional flatland and limited space. Many techniques have been used throughput time to create thre

The Whole Ball of Wax

Art in my opinion can change the world in some aspects, especially after reading the first couple of paragraphs art does have an effect on people. Art allows different interpretations to occur which creates people to view artwork in different ways, especially in ways they would’ve never thought about. It does have the power to change the world during crisis or hostel situations especially if powerful photographs were captured during such events and in return can have the chance to stop what’s going on and bring piece to the world. Art can have political meaning, which allows another way for artists to express their ideas and thoughts not just by words but also by different medians of art. Art not only is pretty to look at but it has tons of value to the world because it can make people think of new thoughts and ideas, art creates reasoning. Many people may think art is pretty and there is no meaning behind it or it can’t change the world, but art is just as important a
