Event Description Art and Frames has proudly represented Uwe Werner for many years. He is an established artist among the Coronado Community and beyond whose work ranges from non-subjective to realistic. Although he paints the pristine clarity of northern forests and lakes as well as the southern arid regions of the United States, his greatest reputation lies in his realistic portrayals of the many moods of the sea which express his personal fondness for this sometimes malevolent, mostly benevolent power of nature. “I feel the sea is continually changing in its temperament; one need never paint the same scene twice. It can be warm, cool, stormy, calm, or countless combinations of these moods.” Join us for an evening of new original artwork, wine, and nibbles!

These artworks represent a wide range of themes and approaches, provoking the viewer to consider concepts such as institutional critique, the ability of art to effectively speak to and for the masses, the specificity of the Civic Art Collection, and the notion of a collection, itself. Fear No Art is curated by Dr. Lara Bullock and features work by Eric Blau, Donald Borthwick, Mildred Bryant Brooks, Celeste Byers, Collective Magpie, Jung Ho Grant, William Hogarth, Robert Kelly, Leslie William Lee, Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney, John Parot, Cat Chiu Phillips, Charles Reiffel, Zoya Sardashti, Jean Swiggett, Terry Turrell, Jerry O.

Event Description The genre of bird-and-flower painting first came to prominence in China during the 10th century as a court tradition of large scale, sumptuously colored and richly detailed decorative works. For centuries, the Court and Literati styles (established during the Song and Ming Dynasties) have remained the most popular traditions used to capture the beauty of the birds and flowers that reside in such paintings, which are still appreciated for their charm and beauty today. Many birds and flowers are auspicious symbols in Chinese culture due to folk legends or homophones. But is there inherently symbolism within bird-and-flower paintings (花鳥畫)? With Lily Birmingham (SDCHM Treasurer, Docent Training Lead), 3rd Saturday Lecture attendees will appreciate and explore various iconic bird-and-flower paintings throughout Chinese history and find out. This lecture is free and open to the public.
