Rick Beerhorst
A Woman Holding Space - A Woman, Cat and Bird in Front of City Backdrop

2022

About the Item

This painting measures 45 X 45 cm and is painted on stretched linen. The cat and the bird, typically mortal enemies are held together by this noble woman. This becomes a metaphor for how opposed aspects of our inner nature coexist and add dimension and richness to our personalities. –Rick Beerhorst Rick Beerhorst A Woman Holding Space oil on canvas 16h x 15.75w in 40.64h x 40.01w cm RIB010 Rick Beerhorst B. 1960 Education 1987 University of Illinois, Champaign, IL - MFA 1982 Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI - BFA Solo Exhibitions 2020 Remembering My Future, Galerie Sobering, Paris, France 2017 Coming Home, Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (UICA), Grand Rapids, MI 2012 Postem Center, Leep Gallery, Grand Rapids, MI 2002 Solo exhibition, Esther Claypool Gallery, Seattle, WA 2000 Obvious Enchantment, Gallery Arcadia Group shows 2019 A Love Affair with Landshut, Landshuter Röcklturm, Germany 2015 A Wonderful Patched Together, St. Louis Community College 2014 City as Muse (art prize), Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (UICA), Grand Rapids, MI 2012 Adventurous, Art Gallery 2010 Plan B, ARTPRIZE, Grand Rapids, MI 2009 Visage Face Revised, Rockford Art Museum, Rockford, IL 2008 The Doll House, North Park University, Chicago, IL 2007 Portraits, Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL 2006 Collective Exhibition, Gallery X 2005 Collective Exhibition, Grover/Thurston Gallery, Seattle, WA 2004 A Place by the Window, Grover/Thurston Gallery, Seattle, WA 2003 Group Exhibition, Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL The Essential X, Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL 2002 Art of the 20th Century, The Armory Show, NY, NY Art of Chicago, Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL 2001 Group Fusion, Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL 2000 Narrative Portraits, Esther Claypool Gallery, Seattle, WA Small and Mighty II, Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL 1999 Two Person Exhibition, Esther Claypool Gallery, Seattle, WA Small and Mighty, Ann Nathan Gallery, Chicago, IL

    By Tina Figarelli
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Depictions of dead birds have a long and rich history in Western Art having been used as a subject matter by artists from Albrecht Durer to Pablo Picasso. The Golden Age of Dutch Painting brought an iconic rise to still-life painting. Much like decadent, ripe fruit and extravagant, sumptuous floral arrangements, these taxadermied birds were transformed into stunning examinations of color, light and texture. Here, artist Tina Figarelli...

  • Eyes of Shivers - Cinema Inspired Oil Painting w/ Couple Embracing and a Dog
    Located in Chicago, IL
    In Shivers, a disease is spread through the throat, resulting in a zombie-like infection. In this painting, coupled with an image from The Eyes of Laura Mars, is a reference to ideological possession and the use of compelled speech. It is a concern towards those who display totalitarian traits in their quest for justice, too caught up in their own righteousness to really consider the damage they are doing. The do in the background stands above the lifeless body of a woman, it is dogma and its dismantlement of womanhood. Inspired by the films Shivers, 1975 The Eyes of Laura Mars, 1978 Georgia Hinaris Eyes of Shivers oil on panel 16h x 24w in 40.64h x 60.96w cm GHS003 Horror films are the most profound and visceral of films, garnering the most extreme responses: vehement hatred and cultish admiration. Horror elicits a controlled neurosis while exposing the rejected weaknesses and brutalities of humanity. I embrace the power of cinema and its ability to alter perception, as it is media that is a reflection of our primordial desires. I’m fascinated by concepts involving the limits of human perception, the ambiguity of morality in relation to nature, the paradoxical nature of reality, and the human struggle to reckon with uncertainty. Humans bear the burden of being as we are, all caught in a flux of unbelievable cognitive abilities and animalistic instincts. Every painting is in its own universe and I cater to it. Nothing is precious. Chaos is embraced.
