Cinematic Subjects: The Art of James D. Adams and Sun
Smith-Foret at Cedarhurst Center for the Arts.
This exhibition will feature two artists who explore
entertainment in today's society, with emphasis on cinema.
Adams generates his work from "things that I enjoy looking at:
women, my wife and children, other paintings, and film. As
a personal memoir, (my paintings) function as a transcription of
my most intimate impressions from life, while spiraling through
recurring social themes of identity and the psyche, love and
desire." Smith-Foret uses cloth, paint, and mixed media
referencing film and cinema to build silver screen quilts.
"Both (quilts and films) seek to expand and open the world of
visual and conceptual ideas to people hungry for connection with
each other. By joining quilts and film in hybrid form, I
seek to marry disparate aesthetic strivings from the domain of
popular culture." This exhibition contains adult content;
view discretion and previewing for families is recommended.
