Was happily surprised to come across this @janetfi

Was happily surprised to come across this @janetfilomeno.artist work of art last week at the @michenerart museum’s free art after dark event!——the description of this sizable piece came to mind as we all prepare for tonight and November.

As the Sea Rises-Blue Crystals
Revisited no.9
2018
Janet Filomeno (b. 1953)
Ink, acrylic paint on canvas
Gift of the artist. 2020.1.1
Janet Filomeno’s lifelong interest in water greatly informs her work. When creating her large-scale gestural paintings, the artist re-enacts the movement of water through the pouring, flinging, and throwing of acrylic paint onto a stretched canvas on the floor. In her As the Sea Rises-Blue Crystals Revisited series, brilliant blue paint streaks across each canvas, creating dynamic, abstracted compositions that visualize troubled waters. The red boxes and lines, which recall graphics used by cable news programs, conveys the artist’s profound concern for our current political environment and the rapid acceleration of climate change.

For those who didn’t make it to the Met’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibition - here’s a glimpse from when we snuck in with the kids and friends at the very tail end! There were over 200 garments and accessories, spanning over four centuries where pieces drew inspiration from fine art, flowers & insects, poems, etc., creating dimensional and wearable works of art by some of the most legendary and lesser known names in the art of fashion. @metmuseum #artsnewsnow #fashion #fashionhistory #millinery #fashiondesigners #artoffashion #exhibition
