Kellie Talbot
" A Song for Occupations "
artist statement:
Robert Henri, an early American painter and teacher, believed that the
artist was a manual worker of images and that that made him one with the
city and its people. He wanted his students to learn from Walt Whitman and
embrace the city. In "A Song for Occupations" Whitman writes:
"...The work and tools of the rigger, grappler, sail-maker, block-maker...In
them realities for you and me, in them poems for you and me..."
For me, there is beauty in machinery and architecture. Workers do not appear
in the paintings but are felt through their tools and creations. These
objects become more beautiful with time and use.
The artist will be working the gallery both Saturdays, june 17th and
june 24th, from 11:00 to 5:00
