Exhibition "Freedom of Expressionism" at Folk and Fine Art Gallery

Fumiyo Yoshikawa, "A Realm2" sumi-ink on paper mounted on acrylic painted canvas

  Folk and Fine Art Gallery 
1861-A  Solano Avenue, Berkeley  94707

 presents

Freedom of Expressionism
Opening Saturday, Sept. 20, 5 until 8 p.m.

Claude Convers -- Fumiyo Yoshikawa -- Mark Grim -- T.C. Stevenson

Non-representational expressionism remains an enigma to most people.  Such paintings still elicit that proverbial complaint, �Anybody, even my five-year old, could do that!�  Known as Action Painting, or simply A.E. - Abstract Expressionism rose to prominence in New York City in the years following World War II.  Like jazz music, it was a peculiarly American cultural innovation that had a profound impact around the world.
Mark Grim

A terse explanation of what the original Action Painters did to cause such an uproar was to strip the �picture� out of the painting.  This was not the first time that artists had strayed from pure �picture� making. There are many such examples, but the Action Painters burst onto the scene with such ferocious vigor and high energy that they forever changed the way painters think about painting.
Claude Convers


Despite all of the jokes, snide dismissals and more than half a century, 
A.E. remains a viable approach to painters all around the world.  
It is still a challenging undertaking.


 T.C. Stevenson

I am attracted to moments or “shadowy places” where reality and fantasy, new and old, life and death overlap. These uncertain realms may possess multiple aspects or perceptions that possibly reveal the philosophical idea of “mujo-kan”, nothing stays the same while life continues to reincarnate itself. I aim to capture these abstractions in my work.
