JUDGMENT
Paintings by Jon Sours

Central Gallery

Of his work Sours states:

"I paint figures but try to avoid literal depictions of people. A common theme in my work is the act of judgment or appraisal. Reference materials such as photographs, film stills or magazine clippings serve as a jumping off point. The details inherent in these materials are essential to making a convincing picture, but tend to be distorted or made inaccurate in my depiction.”
 
Jon spent his formative years in New York and Nebraska, where he received his BFA in 2006 at the University of Nebraska, Omaha. He has worked as a landscaper, film projectionist and obituary clerk, but currently works as an art handler and gallery curator in North Carolina. He considers painting his main preoccupation. Jon's work has been exhibited across the country, and extensively in North Carolina. He was awarded an Artist Residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center in 2013, and has had work included in previous Manifest exhibits and publications, including the recently released 4th International Painting Annual.

THE FALLEN
Drawings by Michael Reedy

North Gallery

Of his work Reedy states:

"The human figure has been central in my paintings and drawings for the last twenty years. My most recent works explore themes of life, death, and the human condition. This renewed curiosity in the physical limits of the body, and its ultimate failing (both outwardly and inwardly), has been paired with my prior interests long rooted in depictions of the body that fall outside the canon of art history (medical imaging and cartooning). Here, the ongoing references to anatomical illustration, and its benign approach to depicting pain and death, and cartooning serve to both underscore the comedic tragedy of physical existence and the frailties that increasingly define our sense of self as we age. In each instance, the unsettling presence of the open body presents complex questions of gender, pleasure, pain, interpretation, and reception, and results in works infused with a sense of scientific aura, moral lesson, and morbid entertainment. Consequently, the viewer is seduced into disregarding the boundaries between interior and exterior, between looking and feeling, and between the real and the pictured body.”
 
Michael Reedy received his MFA in painting from Northern Illinois University in 2000 and his BFA from North Central College in 1996. His work has been included in over 100 national and international exhibitions and can be viewed in numerous private and institutional collections, including Clatsop Community College, Minot State University, Shippensburg University, and the Hoffman Trust National Collection in association with the San Diego Art Institute.

Notable recent creative activities include exhibiting work in the exhibition Anatomy of an Idea at the Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Art, a recent solo exhibition (Expulsion) at The International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago, and participation in two major small group invitational exhibitions: Equinox at Arch Enemy Arts in Philadelphia and Empty Kingdom at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco.

In addition, Michael was the subject of a featured article in the Winter 2013 / Volume 27 issue of Hi-Fructose art magazine, and will have a new 5-page article in the upcoming issue of Direct Art Magazine. He was also named one of the “Top 100 Artists of 2013” by both Creative Quarterly (The Journal of Art & Design) and Empty Kingdom (one of the leading International Art Sites). His work has been included in previous Manifest publications and exhibits, including the forthcoming 10th International Drawing Annual.
