Taag Artists selected to exhibit at FIGGE MUSEUM

The 41st Rock Island Art Guild Fine Arts Exhibition is scheduled to be at the FIGGE Art Museum, Davenport, Iowa January 18 through April 19, 2020. The award ceremony is Feb. 6 from 5-8 p.m. Three Taag artists have been selected to be in this juried event. Candace Moeller, independent curator and associate director of Cristin Tierney Gallery in New York, NY, will be the juror for this event.

Taag artists participating in this event are:

R.E. Henry - Oil painting

Henry usually paints landscape scenes from his life, but has surprised everyone with an abstract self portrait, rendered in his trademark bold colors.

John McGlinn - Acrylic painting

McGlinn currently has a body of work showing here at Taag in the Lower Gallery. His visual theme has long been

space-stacking, an abstract form.

Bella Vine - Oil painting & sculpture

Vine tells stories with every artwork and has not disappointed with the selection at the Figge, an oil painting of a special forest.

Taag Gallery is sponsoring Iowa City artist solo exhibition

"Our normal vantage point is on the surface of the earth utilizing a multi-point perspective, i.e. the Renaissance window: accurate, natural, well-practiced in all forms of visual endeavor. But, there is a more primitive, archaic form of spatial depiction that is child-like in the placement of objects above, not beyond, to represent distance from the observer. This orientation has allowed me to map my abstract intentions onto invented scenes that recently have incorporated fences, trees, clouds, etc. in a purposeful, if slightly artificial, manner. "
