SUMMARY:Opening Reception: "The Past to Perfection: Art IS What You See"
DESCRIPTION:Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. will present “The Past to Perfection: Art IS What You See” by artist Sarah ‘Sal’ deBethune for the September Artswalk! \nThere will be an opening reception from 5 to 8 pm on September 6 during First Fridays Artswalk. The show is at Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. 33 Dunham Mall\, Pittsfield\, MA. \nArtist Statement: \n“When I began taking art classes at my high school\, BART Charter\, I was very close minded\, meaning I stuck to drawing mandalas along with a few sketches of flowers. My art teacher\, Mrs. Stack became the biggest factor in my growth as an artist. She pushed me to work with materials I hate\, from observation to abstraction\, and also to push my limits as a perfectionist. It has been so incredibly frustrating\, and though all this frustration I am thankful for the artist that I was pushed to be. I have created pieces that I am proud of\, and now I know how to work with a multitude of mediums that before seemed daunting. \nThis show is a combination of all the stages I worked through.” \nAmbition Statement: \n“Circles. Everyone knows what a circle looks like\, but when you get down to the pen and paper part of it\, it rarely turns out right. There are bumps\, waves\, extra lines\, and maybe even a flat part; this simple image of a circle represents my relationship to art and my vision for the future … Sometimes you have a vision for a piece\, but when you make it\, it isn’t what you imagined. I will stray from the path\, but no matter what I encounter\, I will always return to art … and know that imperfect circles can be beautiful\, too. \nI love math as much as I love art. I hope I’ll be able to incorporate math and art into a career that can pay for my passions. For now\, I think my future is too curved away for me to be able to see it.” \nArt Mediums represented in this show: \nGraphite\, Ink\, Watercolor\, Gouache
