14th Annual Art of Painting in the 21st Century Exhibition
John Natsoulas Gallery Davis, CA
CONFERENCE: Saturday, October 14th 2023
The Art of Painting in the 21st Century is an annual conference and exhibition in its 14th year and is geared towards nurturing dialog on contemporary painting and the shared ideas that define current trends in the field. Many painters work alone, an isolated process that deprives the artist of thriving debate until the work is shown. This conference provides a unique opportunity and an intimate setting to interact with top artists. UC Davis, home to artist Roy de Forest, Roland Petersen, Wayne Thiebaud, and Robert Arneson, was instrumental in defining a new direction for a uniquely West Coast style. Nowhere else in the country will the participant be able to interact and discuss the purity of painting in one place. Meet face-to-face with distinguished artists you might only otherwise read about.
“This is the kind of educational, intellectual event one expects from museums or universities, but which public institutions seem less and less able to provide.” – Artweek Magazine
Co-curated by John Natsoulas and John Seed
