Branches, Brambles, and Roots:
An Exhibition Celebrating Trees
June25 – July 31, 2016
Submission Deadline: May 2, 2016
Exhibition Details
Trees provide shelter, building materials, shade, food, warmth, a place to sit or nest, a place to climb, play, and more. They have been celebrated, venerated, feared, worshiped, and cut down. View is seeking artists for an all media, juried exhibition that explores all aspects of trees in art, from raw material to inspiration and everything in between. Join us this summer in celebrating trees in all their myriad uses and forms. The exhibition is open to all media, by artists 18 and over, with a chance at over $3000 in prizes.
View is a premier multi-arts facility located in the Central Adirondacks of New York State. www.viewarts.org

Judges
Bob Erickson
http://www.bobericksonstudio.com
Bob Erickson received his BFA at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and his MFA from Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. He is currently Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
According to Lesley Wright, Director of the Faulconer Gallery at Grinnell College “Erickson captures his North experience in prints and paintings of isolated, evocative, familiar yet unidentifiable objects: humps, mounds, piles, stacks, tangles, and skeins. As subjects, seen without the benefit of a relative point of comparison, they are almost impossible to identify as monumental or tiny. The original source could be a forest leaves or a cloud, a stack of peat or an ocean cliff. The confusion of scale happens no matter what the size of the art work: his panels and prints range in dimension from six by six inches up to 43 x 53 inches. In their earth tones and mottled backgrounds, his works are infused with the passage of time, erosion, decay, and with processes that gather, organize and collect small pieces into larger accretions. Erickson revels in the multiplicity of association that his images evoke, hoping we will bring to them our own memories of river beds, dangling moss, hay stacks, or weird rocks distilled from wherever we find our spiritual connections in the natural world.”
Erickson’s work is in the permanent collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum, Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Amoco Oil Corporation, Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, University of Wisconsin Special Collections and and many others. He has been an artist in residence at the Blue Mountain Center, Blue Mountain, NY, Studio Camnitzer, Valdottavo, Italy, Armstrong-Prior Inc., Phoeniz, AZ, and The Contemporary Artists Center, North Adams, MA. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States and abroad including Bob Erickson: Recent Works on Paper-Gail Art Museum, South Korea; Arts in Isolation: Contemporary Printmaking in the Rural United States, Tartu, Estonia and Trondheim, Norway; 150 Years of Wisconsin Printmaking, Chazen Museum of Art, Madison, WI, Bob Erickson and Rita Wobbe: Rock & Water, Linenhall Arts Centre, Castlebar, Ireland and the 1999, 2002 and 2005 Wisconsin Triennials, Madison Museum of Modern Art, Madison, WI. He is represented in the United States by Armstrong Prior Inc., Phoenix, AZ and the Addington Gallery, Chicago, IL. Erickson's series North will be featured in a solo exhibition in View's Eco Gallery April 24-July 10, 2016
Michael Trivieri
https://www.viewarts.org/exhibitions/past-exhibitions/michael-trivieri-freshly-hewn/ Michael Trivieri is an artist completely in tune with his media. Trivieri began life as a logger and forester, from which developed an obsession with creating in wood. Whether carving a burl into a bowl, shaping milled pieces into highly detailed relief scenes, filled with denizens of the Adirondacks, creating furniture or carving works in the round he is consistently maintaining a dialogue in the marks he makes onto his material. In his work grain becomes water or clouds, a small crack becomes a leading line through the composition, or the undulations of a burl determine its final rendering as a bowl.
Trivieri’s work is held in the collections of the Wild Center, View and numerous private collections throughout the world. Trivieri resides in Tupper Lake, New York where he works on public and private commissions from his studio.
