The traveling exhibition titled, "East Meets Midwest : New Visions of Figurative Painting", opens in Chicago on April 14, with stops in St. Louis, New York City, and Williamsburg, VA. This exhibit surveys American representational painting from two regional groups and features twenty contemporary painters. According to painter and exhibit spokesperson John Goodrich, “this survey brings forward two groups of artists united by visual sensibility and an enthusiasm for traditional painting...To these two contemporary groups of artists, ‘tradition’ is never a limit or restraint, but liberation- a constant source of renewal”. absolutearts.com Premiere Portfolio Members Philip Hale and Timothy King are featured in this exhibition.
The East region painters are represented by Don Beal, Simon Carr, Henry Finkelstein, John Goodrich, Al Kresch, Mark LaRiviere, Stanley Lewis, Ying Li, Ruth Miller, and Thaddeus Radell. The Midwestern painters are Bob Brock, Glen Cebulash, Philip Hale, Timothy King, Lynette Lombard, Jeremy Long, Michael Neary, Don Southard, Ron Weaver, and Megan Williamson. “East Meets Midwest” is sponsored by the Midwest Paint Group.
