Through August 2013, The Deer Gallery showcases an exhibition of Springfield Museum of Art’s most recent acquisitions – including glass and metal sculpture from the estate of Dr. Martin Cook.
Oil paintings, watercolors, and sculptures of bronze or marble are what we expect to find when we visit and art museum. However, with the increasing development and availability of other materials, artists are now using many other media and materials to execute their art.
In The Chakeres Gallery, we see artwork made from some of these different materials. The media is selected to help convey the artist’s idea. When viewing the works on display, ask yourself if the choice of material helps to make the piece more interesting, or what other media it could have been made out of.
This exhibition showcases a century of self-taught artists in Ohio. The works represent 100 years of creative expression by 18 Ohio artists who never studied art, never hung out in museums and never expected to become known as artists. Highlighting 20th and 21st century artwork in a variety of media, “Outside in Ohio” surveys the unconventional and distinct personal styles of some of Ohio’s most unforeseen artists.

Plein Air is a term derived from the French phrase “en plein air,” which literally means “in the open air.” These artists, painting in the open air, are particularly interested in the influence of the changing light outdoors. This year’s exhibition is comprised of paintings from the Plein Air Society executed at specific sites, during specific seasons and times of day, illustrating new ways to see our State.
An Ohio treasure, Jack Earl’s ceramic sculpture transforms the everyday into the extraordinary. With his keen sense of humor and exceptional craftsmanship, Jack depicts the people and places in his life as engaging, magical tableaus and sculptures. Mothers, icons, and men with dogs courting, we see humanity and relationships laid out before us. Regional references, family values, and wit combine to make this clay work universally appealing.
This exhibition presents large, explosive canvases, full of color and discovery. Professor Crockett’s paintings record deliberate acts; they are tracings of what has been made, unmade, and remade, and present a topography that hovers between the threshold of meaning and the destruction of meaning. This is the artist’s act of discovery through paint.
