SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Funk Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the John Natsoulas Gallery in Davis\, California for the\nupcoming\, captivating exhibition California Funk to Figuration: A New\nNarrative Mythology. The exhibition will be open from September 7 to\nJanuary 7\, 2022. The opening reception is on September 9\, and will\nfeature live music and free beverages. \nThis exhibition will feature works by the incredible men and women who shaped the Funk\nMovement. Through their artworks\, including painting\, sculpture\, and works on paper\, Funk\nartists consciously undermine expectations. The colorful works all playfully address narrative\nthemes\, some more enigmatic than others. \nFunk Art organically emerged in the 1960s in the leading art schools in California as a rebellious\nresponse to both the restrictiveness of Bay Area Figurative Art and the nonobjectivity of Abstract\nExpressionism. While Funk Art has continued to elude a decisive definition\, its hallmark is a\nsignificant degree of absurdity. Artists famously responded\, “when you see it\, you know it\,”\nwhen asked to describe the movement.\nThose championing the ridiculousness that is the fundamental doctrine of Funk are known for\ntheir collaborations and the impressive followings that they inspired among their students. Some\nof the artists whose works will be on display include Roy De Forest\, Robert Arneson\, Peter Saul\,\nRobert Colescott\, David Gilhooly\, Louise Stanely\, Patrick Siler\, Jim Albertson\, Gladyss\nNielsson\, Jim Nutt and many more. The Funk Movement is often categorized as a West Coast art\nstyle\, but this show will bring together artists from California and the other major center of the\nstyle- Chicago. This exhibition will highlight the shared philosophies of different generations of\nartists\, who all imbued their works with unorthodox tradition and self-referential humor. \nCome visit the John Natsoulas Gallery for the very exciting opportunity to see historic artwork\nthat truly captures the energy and absurdism of the Funk Movement.
