September 22, 2020 (All day) The Capital City Arts Initiative presents its exhibition, "H2O 2020", with work by eight Great Basin artists at the CCAI Courthouse Gallery: Cyndy Brenneman, Vanessa Martinez, Nolan Preece, Nancy Raven, Craig Sheppard, Dylan Silver, Cathryne Trachok, and Candida Webb. The exhibition will be in the gallery through Sept. 24, 2020.
The Courthouse is located at 885 E Musser Street, Carson City. The public is cordially invited to the second-floor gallery which is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
All of the artists’ work is focused on the theme of water, selected as an appropriate and cooling theme for Carson City’s hot and dry summer days.
Cyndy Brenneman’s watercolor scenes from her international travels inspire each of us as we wait out the pandemic at home.
Three still-life photographs from Vanessa Martinez’s Perspective series show the ways water can manipulate our vision.
Nolan Preece’s chemigrams produce intriguing levels of abstraction through his use of photographic chemicals, acrylic paints, and intuition. http://www.nolanpreece.com/
Lost Soles, the installation by Nancy Raven, combines found single shoes left behind on a central California beach with photographs and prints recording their lonely existence. https://www.lizardsrockmusic.com/
The late Craig Sheppard, a former chair of UNR’s Art Department, spent a sabbatical painting in France giving us A Bridge in Paris.
With images from his Tahoe Clarity series, Dylan Silver combines his loves of photography and scuba diving to present a diver’s diverse views of Lake Tahoe. http://www.tahoeclarity.com/
Cathryne Trachok values collaborating with the viewers who see her paintings. In this piece, she collaborated with artist Marti Bein on the composition giving us another view of water. http://catrachokstudios.com/
Candida Webb dedicates her strong color sense to teasing vibrant hues out of her landscapes and onto her canvases. She paints serene locations as an expressionist to offer fresh views of remote areas of the west. http://www.candidawebb.com/
Carlos Ramirez, a Western Nevada College student, provided the Spanish translation of this text for the gallery handout.
