Here's a little more information about last weekend's NCAG Show & Sale. The judge was Craig Srebnik, a Portland resident with an international reputation. I was totally blown away and honored by his attention to my piece. It is not every day that fish prints are taken seriously!
Craig is fascinating to listen to. His art world has no boundaries: visual art and dance; music and sculpture ... in his thought and expression, they all share the same elements. The rest of my text in this blog entry is from the September 2012 North Clackamas Arts Guild Newsletter, edited by Kathy Johnson. Source of the information is Craig's website, http://csfineart.com/.
Craig Srebnik’s artwork has earned twenty-eight national awards, including three Oil Painters of America Awards of Excellence, the American Impressionist Society President’s Award and the Academic Artists Association Best of Show; has
appeared in the leading American art magazines, museum exhibitions, and galleries throughout the United States and in Europe. Currently teaching in Portland, Oregon, Srebnik has conducted art workshops at eighteen art schools and colleges. For more information, visit his website.
Judging Criteria
• Concept • Composition • Shape • Value • Color • Edges • Brushwork or Other Technique • Paint Quality or Material Handling • Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual and Physical/Visceral Impact • Overall Success and Effect •
When Craig juries art competitions, he evaluates each piece based upon universal art principles. The artwork is judged against the same criteria regardless of medium, style, subject matter or who created it.
The concepts and style of each piece provide additional bases for measuring its success. For example, a realistic piece implies a framework of form and spatial relationships, and would be judged against these goals. A French Impressionist
painting would be expected to emphasize other concepts, such as the spectral effects of sunlight, a broad field of vision and a experiential perception. Without naturalistic
or realistic concerns, composition’s are usually a major criteria for abstract paintings. By composition, he is referring to the orchestration of the elements of the artwork. This avoids favoring or penalizing one style or subject matter, or evaluating
artwork against the values of a different style.
