AT HOME IN THE WEST - Edward Bateman
"For those of us who live in the West, mountains are more than just landmarks; they define a sense of home. We have memories associated with our mountains; those we grew up surrounded by; remembering the first time we saw one, and the people we visited them with. This gave us all a larger sense of where we locate home.
During our recent pandemic, home shrunk to the walls that surrounded us. Real experiences became mediated through computers and the internet – but something felt lost: a living connection with things bigger than ourselves. But we kept our memories – waiting to be trigged by a photograph or reminder of the mountains that could bring back that sense of the sublime. Mountains and nature have long been places of peace and refuge. There are few emotions about places for which adequate single words exist. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the word sublime arose to describe the feelings that the natural world can evoke in us.
At home, on my kitchen table, I have been trying to capture something of that sublime in bits of plastic. Using geographical data from the Internet, I used my 3D printer to make the memories of those mountains tangible. With a small fog machine, I create atmospheres and clouds. Sunlight through a window illuminates some, while others were lit with a variety of sources including fiber optic lights used for microscopy.
For me, these images evoke the place I call home; and remind me that it is memories that make a place special.

Work for At Home in the West was created especially for Philips Gallery. Its companion series, Yosemite: Seeking Sublime, premiered November (2020) with a solo exhibition and in December (2020) work from that series was exhibited by invitation in the Art of Staying at Home; Artists in the Time of Corona at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt. He was the only U.S. artist from eight countries included. Additional works from that series will soon be exhibited at the Krakow Triennial in Poland and at the Earth Photo exhibition at the Royal Geographical Society in London.

- San Rafael Reef #2By Mark KnudsenLocated in Salt Lake City, UTSan Rafael Reef #2, acrylic on panel, 11 x 37 1/2 inches, $2,200 “It is my feeling that the desert country of the American West is too large, too wild, too gorgeous to be encompassed by traditional landscape painting. Our inherited aesthetic defines beauty in landscape as green and arable land or grand, breathtaking places. I feel the need to expand that definition. I want to portray the desert as it is right now; to dispense with the limitations of what has come before, to quietly point out the beauty of places that are harsh and forbidding to habitation but express an aesthetic of the wild. I strive to go beyond the sentimentality that often defines our images of the West. The scale of many of my pieces (an extreme horizontal) is a compositional strategy to capture the vastness of these places.” – M. Knudsen Mark Knudsen...Category

- AturaliaBy Margriet SmuldersLocated in ROTTERDAM, ZHThe work 'Aturalia' is part of Margriet her most recent series of works from Fruits de Rococo, where she found her inspiration in the style period of Rococo. Aturalia is together with Nartificilia a diptych, but can also be enjoyed perfectly seperate from one another. In the series Fruits de Rococo, artist Margriet Smulders takes us into the maelstrom of her thoughts about our existence. In thirty still lifes, she depicts life as a flowing river. Smulders takes us from the source to the sea, from the dark origin to the sublime end. Fascinated as she is by the cycle of life, she guides us through birth, bloom and decay, with heaven as the apotheosis. about Margriet Smulders In the works by Margriet Smulders (1955, the Netherlands), the theme ‘lust and temptation’ play a major role. Standing in front of them, her impressive photograph’s cause the feeling of being sucked into the image. Large compositions are seducing the viewer and lead the eye from one to the other detail. In her work, Smulders mostly uses exotic flowers and fruit. To arrange the objects she uses colored draperies, water and mirrors. The result looks like a detail from a mysterious fairy tale world. Even though people are absent in these surrealistic landscapes, these works seem to tell a story or hold a meaning. It feels like Margriet Smulders paints with her photo camera.Category
