2014 Cannon Art Gallery Juried Biennial

The Cannon Art Gallery’s 2014 Juried Biennial was juried by Tina Yapelli, Director of the University Art Gallery at San Diego State University, and John D. Spiak, Director and Chief Curator of the Grand Central Art Center, Santa Ana. The exhibition features 66 works of art by 34 artists. The exhibition runs from Dec 14, 2014 to Feb 7, 2015

This was truly a show with something for everyone and this is only a small selection from this quality show.

  1. Narrowing the field:
    Irene de Watteville's ceramic piece is pure, delightful camp.
    If her studio is producing more of this quality work, we should all want to attend any future exhibitions.
    Leslie Nemour's painting, "First Fight Over Realism" packs a punch!
    To my eye, the painting style seems to reference Corbet's realism.
    ( unconscious I'll presume) Nevertheless, that reference only reinforces the authority of the work as a whole and deepens the irony of the title, sharpens the humor and lends an added poignancy
    overall.
