Of course, my favorite recent episode they did was on my hero, painter Emily Carr, but I am honored to have also been on the show. Kendra and Ashley are sisters and I so appreciate their relationship and banter about art and general life in the Northwest environment.Arty Quinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06460538532828328593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012890620026942061.post-84063176752559731192022-03-12T11:49:00.001-08:002022-03-12T11:52:06.969-08:00For the Seventh Generation Project Interview<p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6Epi4C9e1rwmtczmUlm7Gu-6lKalpRUopf5uwfrfP1j9bJjx6-XBFz9D6VEMrD9RFGR2Je1XwDekyA7pQDaL1KkQRIY75bsA6BABlmfq99E5s7_FSsP_P0HrE45lPa95b5TxQTAuGzooSz_-dMDoheNO7CzrCp0o55kXBC3CWbjTtCxPz1cNHy9kK5Q=s2894" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1446" data-original-width="2894" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6Epi4C9e1rwmtczmUlm7Gu-6lKalpRUopf5uwfrfP1j9bJjx6-XBFz9D6VEMrD9RFGR2Je1XwDekyA7pQDaL1KkQRIY75bsA6BABlmfq99E5s7_FSsP_P0HrE45lPa95b5TxQTAuGzooSz_-dMDoheNO7CzrCp0o55kXBC3CWbjTtCxPz1cNHy9kK5Q=w640-h320" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Cape Arago (Shore Acres), Oil, 24" x 48", Quin Sweetman</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Thanks to Randy Pijoan for taking the time to interview me and the John Daniel Teply Gallery for featuring my work in the For the Seventh Generation Project.</p><p>You can see my interview here <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IjuNVgtFfu0" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> or copy/paste: https://youtu.be/IjuNVgtFfu0</p><p>This 2x4-foot painting is one of the larger paintings I've ever done and I am thrilled to be showing it as part of this important project.</p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(42, 42, 42); color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Times New Roman"; white-space: pre-wrap;">This July we will be exhibiting For the Seventh Generation paintings at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. </span> My painting is currently for sale to benefit this important work and coastal conservation.</p><p dir="ltr" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A primer on the For the Seventh Generation project:</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #1f1f1f; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span> </span><span> </span>For The Seventh Generation is about connecting with place over time. We are forming a one-hundred year arts organization whose reason for being is the ocean. We want to make art that functions at the center of human life, not at its edges. Our showcase event is the For The Seventh Generation Project, The one-mile Pano-Mural for the Washington, Oregon, and California coasts. Our guiding sentiment is “Above all else, a healthy ocean.” The lengthy time aspect referred to by the title is from a notion that we need to think within a longer time frame to address our problems. We need to make choices not just for ourselves and our generation, or for our children or even our grandchildren, but to acknowledge that this is the only planet that any of us will ever have, for all species, for all life, and that we share this planet with the future. Our decisions should reflect that.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span> </span><span> </span>Imagine 1320 paintings by 1320 artists to go with the 1320 miles of the Washington, Oregon and California coasts. These paintings, each four feet in length, when put together end to end, and in geographic order, offer the viewer an opportunity to walk the Western coast. As each artist revisits their location (which we encourage them to do once a year) a new painting is generated. Each year the pano-mural recreates itself. This is a resonant relationship with the coastline, which also recreates itself each year. The For The Seventh Generation pano-mural is different each year from the one before, as new work is painted, new artists join in, and the artwork that is sold is no longer exhibited. It is designed to be passed on to other artists and other generations. In fact, because of the timespan involved, those that begin the project today cannot know the fruit of their efforts, for they themselves will, of course, have passed on. We are a generation beginning something the results of which will never be known.</span></span></p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1f1f1f; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span> </span><span> </span>By the very act of going to their locations and painting, the artists become sentinels of their locations. They are watching and observing what happens. Over time, they become chroniclers of the coast. As a group, they become a community of coastal watchers.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhBig9zvBH0VIuoDdf2A8PvgsTSwABBF2XcXUi9XJ7S3Uj-begxxWMVWSWg3RKwIZ_vdfr2dcW8fM9v3_KK_E2ga2GR9LryQdD2N7Xs7tqDMwgZBanyPcfaWIn1TrqIFttzkh4_jEByQuZ2rlBWG9n7D4K2mYBnYtBnma4g6pbDdcZP0PJg3IhseJ3dg=s960" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhBig9zvBH0VIuoDdf2A8PvgsTSwABBF2XcXUi9XJ7S3Uj-begxxWMVWSWg3RKwIZ_vdfr2dcW8fM9v3_KK_E2ga2GR9LryQdD2N7Xs7tqDMwgZBanyPcfaWIn1TrqIFttzkh4_jEByQuZ2rlBWG9n7D4K2mYBnYtBnma4g6pbDdcZP0PJg3IhseJ3dg=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Arty Quinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06460538532828328593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012890620026942061.post-1930609570789820472022-02-13T11:25:00.011-08:002022-03-18T10:04:24.368-07:00Badger & Coyote’s curious partnership illustrated<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">My first book illustration!</span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">A friend of mine asked me to do sketches to illustrate her prose about the curious partnership between badgers and coyotes.

It's been nearly a year since I last posted but here is one of the highlights from the labor of love which has consumed most of my time, <i>The Beautiful Lives Lost Portrait Project</i>:<br />
<br />

We did it! Artists from the Pacific Northwest came together and made 58 portraits to honor and remember the 58 people lost to gun violence at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas last October 1st. Families were in Vegas for healing events, including our show and our tributes to their loved-ones were given to them to take home. Huge thank you to all the artists who donated their time and talents to make this special show happen and another shout-out to the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa for sponsoring and hosting our show. We feel good about this effort coming full-circle with the portraits going home with the victims families. Thank you to all of you who also gave money and time to help get these portraits to them.<br />
<br />
All portraits may be viewed on our website<br />

It is easy to feel powerless in the face of terrible news, but as artists, one thing we can do is make portraits of the individuals who died to call attention to the senseless violence and show they are not just another statistic. We can honor their memories and share a loving gesture with grieving families and communities.
Kindness often begets kindness. We hope to continue this cycle rather than violence.

My favorite subjects to paint are portraits and the human figure. Here's a recent painting from a lovely live model in costume. (I need to get more of these photographed and posted.) See others in person at my Dec. 3rd Open Studio.<br />

I paint from the live model at least once per week, mostly using the limited palette inspired by Anders Zorn. </div>

Just a few of the Paintings-A-Day I've done during the Painting November Challenge. Most are 8x6". A great way to keep up the practice and explore new subject matter for fun. I will have a studio show on December 3rd. Please save the date.</div>

"You gotta fight for your right to party", right? My brothers and I played their music loud and often. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 1.7rem;"><span style="font-size: 1.7rem;">My younger brother was even inspired to take-up rapping around this time and continues to this day. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 27.200000762939453px;">My painting represents the journey towards enlightenment, though the show is about death.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 27.200000762939453px;"> From</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 1.7rem;"> young punk, to hard-partying 1980s rapper, Adam Yauch, A.K.A. MCA, began to study Tibetan Buddhism in 1992 and converted to the religion in 1996. More significantly, Yauch co-founded the Milarepa Fund in the same year to help increase awareness of the Tibetan independence movement and in 1996, helped launch a series of large-scale musical festivals known as the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, featuring the Beastie Boys amongst dozens of other groups including A Tribe Called Quest, U2, Radiohead, Wu-Tang Clan, and Rage Against the Machine. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 27.200000762939453px;">Along the way, Yauch became the group's most outspoken member on social justice issues. For a rapper that once rapped about how "we rag-tag girlies back at the hotel" in 1986 ("The New Style"), by 1994, he was insisting, "I want to say a little something that's long overdue / the disrespect women has got to be through" ("Sure Shot"). Now that I am older and a little more "mature", this gesture is quite welcome as a woman. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 1.7rem;">And the meaning of death resinates more now that I have lost some dear members of my family. I also appreciate Yauch's struggle to find meaning. Though his life seemed cut-short at the age of 47, perhaps death really is just a beginning. No "resting in peace" when a new journey awaits. </span></span></div>

Update: These were commissioned for the New Ace Hotel in New Orleans; one of my favorite cities and a very cool, boutique hotel. Honored that my paintings will adorn five hotel rooms as armoire doors. Now to get there again to see them.<br />

All work created from life -- not photos -- in the Impressionist/Alla Prima tradition. I enjoyed setting up still-lifes of flowers, painting live models (and one landscape) and then pushing past what was in front of me to emphasize the colors, designs and patterns which appealed to me. I feel like these are my best works yet because I had so much fun creating them. This show of affordable art by over 500 artists benefits the Oregon Food Bank, so bring a can of food. (Also, next-door, the new OneDer Gallery features art of all sizes for $100-and-under.) Get there early:<br />

I guess it's been a while ...<br />
<br />
Lots happening but here's one of the recent highlights. I participated in the Plein Air Washington County event and won Third Place, overall. With over one hundred great paintings to choose from, I was quite honored (floored actually) that my painting was chosen. I'll post close ups of the completed paintings, soon. Thank you to the organizers at Sequoia Gallery and Juror, Za Vue.<br />

Here's the painting I made during the protest. It was made on site, otherwise known as "Plein Air Painting" and hence, has an "unfinished" impressionist quality, which I think adds to the feeling of action. Several people have expressed interest in bidding on this work to benefit efforts to fight drilling in the arctic. I will post an auction site soon, but for now, please send me your contact information if you would like to be notified of the auction or purchase a print of my painting. Many thanks!

Well, I decided if those protesters were going to "decorate" our bridge so beautifully, I could show up and paint it, at least. Somehow it led the 11 o'clock news. My mom would have loved it! See the news real on this link:<br />

Here's a painting of my favorite bridge, in honor of St. Patrick's Day. I am showing this and five other paintings at the Northeast Community Center this month, along with fellow Alla Prima Portland artist, Celeste Bergin. I'm always thrilled to show with Celeste as she is both very talented and a delightful person. Her beau, Dave Burbach is a wonderful photographer and very kind to document the hanging of our show and the ensuing shenanigans:<br />

Broderick Gallery announces that Quin Sweetman and Celeste Bergin will have a two-woman show entitled “A Year in Paint” opening at the Broderick Gallery on <span style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px;">November 6, 2014</span>.</div>

Both Sweetman and Bergin are Pacific Northwest artists who work mostly from life and direct observation. “A Year in Paint” represents key paintings completed during the past twelve months. Many of the selected paintings were completed “en plein air” (outdoors, in the manner of the French Impressionists, often in one sitting). Interiors, figures, still life and some studio work will also be included in “A Year in Paint”.<br />
<div>
Sweetman and Bergin are acclaimed artists with a breadth of experiences and tributes between them. Quin Sweetman is a noted oil painter whose work has been shown in numerous exhibitions including CW Lofts Minneapolis, Walters Cultural Art Center and the People’s Art Gallery among others. Celeste Bergin’s recent professional achievements include Curator for the Pacific NW Plein Air Competition 2014 and invited artist in Portland Art Museum's Paris in the Park event. She has won many awards and shown work in over 100 exhibitions including the Columbia Art Gallery, the Pittock Mansion, Portland City Hall and numerous galleries.</div>
