Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Description: Landscape Confection brings together a group of emerging and mid-career artists involved in expanding the historical practice of landscape painting. Long considered one of the primary categories of Western painting, landscape has traditionally been dialectically structured by the production of either realistic or idealized representations of the natural world. The artists in Landscape Confection work in the realm of imaginary landscape. Many of the paintings derive from the unconscious space of dreams, some borrow from the discipline of topography, and still others reside at the boundary between landscape and abstraction. Most of the pictures have a high degree of whimsy and call to mind the f'tes galantes of Watteau, redolent as they are with bodily and visual pleasure. Artist included in the exhibition and catalogue are Rowena Drig, Pia Fries, Jason Gubbiotti, Jim Hodges, Katie Pratt, Michael Raedecker, Neil Rock, Lisa Sanditz, Amy Sillman, and Janaina Tschape.

Landscape Confection
Newport Beach
feb 5 - may 7, 2006
The visually enticing Landscape Confection extends the boundaries of landscape painting with whimsical works employing stitched fabric, beads, wax, metal, silk flowers, and other materials. The exhibition presents 50 works by 13 emerging and mid-career artists from around the globe, all-working in the genre of landscape art in surprising ways. Embracing the idea of the decorative, their influences range from naturalist illustrations to impressionism to wallpaper patterns. Some of the works in Landscape Confection are derived from topography, others from the realm of fantasy and dreamscape, and most straddle the line between traditional landscape art and abstraction.
The artists included in Landscape Confection are Rowena Dring, Pia Fries, Jason Gubbiotti, Jim Hodges, David Korty, Kori Newkirk, Katie Pratt, Michael Raedecker, Neal Rock, Lisa Sanditz, Ranjani Shettar, Amy Sillman, and Janaina Tschape.
