SO BOSCHIAN: THE EXPLORATION INTO OUR DEEPEST FEARS
Hieronymus Bosch, Dutch painter, 1455-1516
Hieronymus Bosch was born Jheronimus van Aken in the Netherlands where he lived all of his life from 1450 to 1516. His work was collected during his life time. Today he is seen as a hugely individualistic painter with deep insight into humanity’s desires and deepest fears.
Summit Artspace put out the call to local artists to share works that channel their inner Bosch for the show, Boschian: Beautifully Bizarre , Feb. 21-March 28, 2020.

BOSCHIAN: BEAUTIFULLY BIZARRE OPENING NIGHT, FEB. 21
Winners for Boschian: Beautifully Bizarre will be announced at 6:30 p.m. during the free opening reception with artists on Friday, Feb. 21, 5-8 p.m., in THREE G Gallery on the third floor of Summit Artspace on East Market, which is located at 140 E. Market St., Akron. The show runs through March 28 and is free and open to the public.
EXHIBITION JUROR
Kate Wentz of Akron is the juror for Boschian: Beautifully Bizarre. She manages a collection of art inspired by the Renaissance master, Hieronymus Bosch. Kat’s experience includes co-curating the Hieronymus collection for the recent exhibition Stranger Beings: Hieronymus Objects & Other Curiosities at the Emily Davis Gallery and managing the pop-up gallery, Pish Posh, that was on view in downtown Akron in the summer of 2018. Hieronymus has actively loaned pieces from the collection to museums and institutions for exhibitions including Akron Art Museum’s Gross Anatomies and Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose.
The show image, 150 mg., was created by artist McKenna Carder.
ABOUT BOSCH

His work utilizes striking and sometimes seemingly surreal qualities, often depicting tales of morality. Intense scenes by Bosch encompass a sense of humor, sensuality, and grotesque quality. His masterpiece, The Garden of Earthly Delights, teems with fantastical landscapes of disturbing anthropomorphic beings composed in vivid jewel tones.

Over 500 years later, Bosch is still a source of inspiration for contemporary artists. Boschian, of or relating to Hieronymus Bosch, is used to describe everything from fine art to high fashion.

Boschian: Beautifully Bizarre is a display of curiosities with an appreciation for the surreal, beautiful and bizarre and the ability to instill both terror and delight.

Find The Me I Seldom Share Portrait Project by Don Parsisson in The BOX, Feb. 21-March 28
2020-03-12 12:00 - 19:00, 2020-03-13 12:00 - 19:00, 2020-03-14 12:00 - 17:00 | Summit Artspace on East Market, 140 East Market Street, Akron, OH, 44308
Don Parsisson’s The Me I Seldom Share, A Portrait Project digs deeper to reveal. His collection of portraits opens Friday, Feb. 21, 2020 in The BOX Gallery. The show runs until March 28, 2020.
OPENING FOR DON PARSISSON PHOTO SHOW
Opening night for the show is Friday, Feb. 21, 5-8 p.m. in the BOX Gallery on the third floor of Summit Artspace on East Market, 140 E. Market St., Akron. Don will be there to talk with gallery visitors.

The reception and show are free and open to the public. The BOX is operated by the Artists of Rubber City. See BOX Gallery hours below.
ABOUT Don Parsisson
Don Parsisson began his pursuit of photography more than five decades ago when he and a friend cobbled together a makeshift darkroom in the corner of a basement. Since then he has been photographing using film, digital, and instant cameras to explore a variety of subjects.

Don believes that there is no one “true” type of photograph; different styles, techniques, and subject matter will resonate with different photographers and different viewers. This makes for a rich diversity of images. Many of Parsisson’s photographs explore ongoing themes or concepts while others stand alone as single images.
With the rising international popularity of photobooks, Parsisson has pursued concepts that lend themselves to book form; collections of images that carry more meaning collectively than they do individually. Two of his books are currently held in institutional collections.
Don Parsisson is based in Akron, Ohio where he maintains fōtō, a studio and gallery in Summit Artspace.
SHOW STATEMENT
This exhibition presents a selection of the portraits I made as part of an extended project. I was seeking to capture the sitter’s face at a particular moment in time; the point at which they are fully in the moment but not yet aware of nor reacting to the presence of another person.
We all possess a variety of faces that we present to others. Each of these faces projects one of the persona we create for that interaction; student, parent, employee, spouse, friend, patient, etc. These faces can be thought of as disguises. They address the expectations of the other person and the role we assume to meet those expectations. But beneath them all is the real Me. The person devoid of artifice. Absent the external stimuli of another person, we revert to a totally private face, one we reserve for ourselves alone. We are aware of it only vaguely, as if through a haze. It is the Me I Seldom Share.
BOX GALLERY HOURS
Artists of Rubber City’s BOX Gallery will be open:

Weekly Thursday and Friday, 12-7 p.m; Saturday, 12-5 p.m.

Would you tie yourself to the mast of ship in the middle of a storm at sea to have the experience and then paint it? Joseph Mallard William Turner (1755-1851), a revered English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolourist, did just that.

ARTIST BIO
I am basically a self-taught artist and I write that with some reservation. Most of my work has been in photography since the late 90’s. Prior to that I did draw and paint but stopped in the mid 70’s when I started a family. I must admit that I love creating with photography. I know from taking countless photos that it is very difficult to capture the perfect picture. I’ve also learned that digital editing can provide some unique opportunities to create. Most of my work has not been exhibited and would have never been viewed outside of my family if it wasn’t for the encouragement of my wife and sister. I have been surprised that most of my submissions have been accepted. I am also somewhat happy that I haven’t sold any work because everything I do is very personal. I really appreciate the opportunities Summit Artspace has provided for me and others. When asked to juror this show I was apprehensive but the encouragement provided by this venue gave me the confidence that I could do the job.
Let me explain why I have reservations calling myself an artist. I was sitting as a host for a show when a patron looking at the works was confounded why photography was included in the show. When she realized some of the works were mine an apology followed. But I understood the feeling she had. A painter, sculpture has invested a lot of time developing the piece, it has a tactile feeling which isn’t present in a photograph. With my pieces I try to blend the essence of the photograph with a feeling. It may take months before I am satisfied I have captured the essence of the piece. When I painted I believed my concepts were sound but my technique, brush strokes and blending wasn’t as good as it should be. In photography I occasionally take a good picture but it requires a lot of work, capturing the perfect lighting or having the right exposure. It also helps to have an assortment of lenses. Being self-taught, I sort of stumble around in my quest to learn. With digital photography and editing a whole new world of creativity is available. Some of my failures in photography have become my favorite art pieces. Partly because they aren’t perfect, they look more like a painting after I have manipulated them in Photoshop. For me there is no bad picture. I can always find something I can use to create a unique piece.
Summit Artspace will be showing a collection of Pinkus’ work in the side gallery to the main show.
GALLERY HOURS
Summit Artspace’s main gallery is open weekly Thursdays and Fridays, noon to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. Additional hours include the March 7 Artwalk, 5-9 p.m. and 4-7 p.m. on March 19 for Third Thursday.

A utopia is an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. We’ve asked young artists to share their YOU-Topia, their perfect world view in this fun online art show. The challenge was open to youth ages 0-14. Their perfect world can be summer all year long, bright color kaleidoscopes or maybe it’s based off a book or a movie they like or an animal, real, imagined or well-loved. We can’t wait to share the submissions!

THREE G GALLERY HAS MOTION // EMOTION PHOTO SHOW

Photographer Tim Fitzwater

On the third floor in the THREE G Gallery, the juried photography exhibit Motion // Emotion will intrigue visitors with visuals that reveal the external energy of motion and internal emotion. Photographer Tim Fitzwater (http://www.Fitzwater-Photography.com) is the juror.
Motion and emotion are two concepts that affect our everyday lives: we are constantly moving and are constantly feeling. While motion is often external, emotion manifests itself internally. Emotions can lead us to make decisions and make change, and allow us to form deep relationships. For this exhibition, photographers are asked to respond to either of these universal ideas, motion or emotion.

A FATHER/SON STORY TOLD IN LETTERS & MORE
Mr. Fred and Mr. Greg-Love Beyond Boundaries
July 10 – Aug. 15, 2020 | Opens July 10, noon
Greg Milo
Building father-son relationships are complex at best when living side-by-side during a son’s growing up years. But what if your father is in prison? Akron area educator and artist Greg Milo’s solo autobiographical show is a poignant record of family ties.
Mr. Fred and Mr. Greg – Love Beyond Boundaries runs July 10 to August 15 in the Welcome Gallery.
ARTIST STATEMENT FOR Mr. Fred and MR. Greg
​Mr. Fred and Mr. Greg is a literary exhibit that tells the story of a father and son. Separated by prison walls, they maintained their relationship through years of letters. For years, Mr. Greg kept the loss close by his side, secure and hidden from view.
Mr. Fred and Mr. Greg is a son’s expression of an attempt to understand his father’s incarceration and the relationship they maintained.
Through old letters and drawings, 8mm footage, and recently written short memoirs, I attempt to articulate the bond with my dad that held strong despite years of physical and mental distance.
