SUMMARY:"The Creative Quest: Three Generations of Intuitive Painting" Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Reston Community Center’s Jo Ann Rose Gallery will host a vibrant group exhibition featuring over 30 works by intuitive painter Judith Forst and many of her students and their students. “The Creative Quest: Three Generations of Intuitive Painting” opens to the public on February 4\, 2025 and will remain on view through March 2\, 2025. \nInspired by the teachings of Michele Cassou\, who founded the Painting Experience in San Francisco\, California\, Reston resident Judith Forst transformed her traditional painting practice from an academic based approach to one focused on painting without inhibition. Focusing on the process rather than a product or desired result led to a freedom of expression and the discovery of a compelling authentic voice. Ms. Forst began sharing this technique in her home studio in 2001 and dozens of local artists have been exposed to this innovative practice. A selection of Judith’s paintings will be featured along with works by 17 other intuitive painters. As a whole\, the paintings are exuberant and colorful – ranging from meticulously detailed images and patterns to mysterious and compelling inner landscapes.

SUMMARY:We Come Together Through Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Encaustic & acrylic paintings by Robert Thiel\nAcrylic paintings by James Ondo and Patricia Kentz \nReception: Sunday\, November 3 • 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.  \nAfter practicing dentistry for over 30 years in Northern Virginia\, Patsy Kentz pursued a second career as an artist. She found that the same attention to detail in dentistry applied to art as well. Patsy was soon commissioned to do house portraits for families in northern Virginia and began painting scenes of the beach\, reflecting her love for the area. Although painting has become Patsy’s second career\, she does not consider it a job\, describing it as a form of meditation. Her work can be viewed at patsykentz.com. \nJim Ondo has enjoyed both oil and acrylic painting as a hobby throughout his careers in the US Army and as an engineering contractor in the Washington\, D.C. area. After retiring\, he and his wife Patsy Kentz took formal lessons from Pam Jarrett\, Arnold Lopes and most recently\, Rob Thiel. Being close to amazing artists has brought him joy and allowed him to continue learning painting skills and techniques. \nRetirement has given Robert Thiel\, a self-taught artist\, the opportunity to expand his artistry to encompass various subjects and mediums. His exploration has led him to encaustic painting (using beeswax) and the use of cold wax mixed with oil paint\, leading to a more abstract perspective. His artwork is inspired by nature and travel\, and he also teaches acrylic art at the Reston Community Center when he is not playing pickleball. More of his work can be seen here:  https://mcthiel.wixsite.com/rtphoto \n

SUMMARY:Shaped by Reston Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Acrylic abstracts by Dr. Joe Hyman.\nAcrylic abstracts\, fantasy portraits\, and landscapes by Mia Merin. \nLiving in the seasonally dynamic landscape of Reston’s lush forestland for a combined total of over ninety years\, local artists Mia Merin and Joe Hyman have been inspired to create art based on their local surroundings\, personal  travels\, and their vivid imaginations. These family friends  are joining forces to present a show composed of abstracts\, fantasy portraits\, and landscapes. \nIn 1971\, Joe and Janet Hyman moved into their new house in Reston’s Hunters Woods community. Joe\, a clinical psychologist\, opened Reston’s first clinical psychologist private practice in his home. He designed and built a new facility on South Lakes Drive\, adjacent to the USGS\, called The Counseling and Therapy Building. Joe began creating abstract geometric paintings on canvas. His intuitive and non-objective painting process results in colorful\, complex artwork that evokes various emotions and joy. He is pleased to share his art alongside the work of Mia Merin\, a longtime Restonian and family friend. \nMia Merin\, a Reston resident since 1987\, has a background in geology and art. She creates landscape paintings based on her favorite hikes and uses art as an outlet for emotions. During the pandemic\, she found inspiration from a 1988 Soviet Art exchange and engaged with the works of Matisse. She explored new perspectives on creating art through Zoom meetings and followed a method by Shiloh Sophia\, resulting in abstract paintings that reflect personal experiences and emotions. Mia believes that art’s meaning is subjective and belongs to the beholder. \n. \nReception: Sunday\, July 28 • 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

SUMMARY:Grace and Beauty: East Asian Brush Painting
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibit by National Sumi-E Society. \nReception: Saturday\, June 29 • 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.\nNCAC was established in 1972 to serve a multicultural community of artists\, teachers\, students\, and others\, who are avid in their appreciation of the centuries-old East Asian art forms of sumi-e and calligraphy. This exhibit features 21 artists presenting 40 beautiful\, accomplished paintings. \nNCAC artists paint with ink and watercolor\, on silk\, rice paper\, and gold or silver shikishi boards. Specialized brushes for sumi-e are round and made of natural hair\, just as they were developed 2\,000 years ago. The unique strokes in sumi-e and calligraphy combine to form a lively and endless variety of painting subjects\, both traditional and contemporary. \nNCAC artists see themselves as bridges between East Asian and Western art. The aesthetics of sumi-e that may differ from Western art include: \n\nEnergetic\, beautiful brush strokes\nCompositions that are asymmetrical\, yet balanced\nInteresting “negative spaces” (blank areas around the painted objects)\nClusters of objects in a large grouping (the host)\, and medium and small groupings (the guests)\n\nFor more information about NCAC\, sumi-e\, artist bios\, virtual gallery and membership\, please visit: www.SumieNationalCapitalArea.org \n
