Chris Derbidge had always been interested in art, especially in oil painting, but never the time or opportunity to pursue it. Born and raised in southern Idaho, Derbidge has spent her life hiking and camping in the Pioneer, Boulder, and Sawtooth mountains. After retirement, a friend took her to an oil painting class. She was hooked, and now is basically a landscape painter and the inspiration for her work comes from those memories. First Thursday reception is October 3rd from 5:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. Music: Wayne White, Tastings by Indian Creeks Winery, snacks by ASG, runs through October 31^st.

Artist Statement

For much of the last forty years, the human form has been at the center of my artistic focus. My subjects are people, not only because I find painting the human figure challenging and rewarding, but also because I’m fascinated with human faces, expression, movements and characters. When looking for a subject I look for someone who has an interesting face or an unusual presence, someone who creates a strong emotional response in me. Faces talk to me even when a person is silent. I believe that a true portrait must be both a likeness of the subject and an artistic interpretation. In my paintings I strive to achieve an accurate likeness, but even more important to me is to paint a feeling. I paint what is going on behind the subject’s appearance, depicting a moment in my subject’s life that reveals a unique aspect of their character.

“PATTERNS & SHAPES – The Art of Seeing” by Jerry Kencke

Event Dates: 6/3/2019 - 6/29/2019
Reception: 6/6/2019 5-9 PM
Location: Art Source Gallery
Address:
1015 Main Street
Boise, Idaho 83702

For June, the Art Source Gallery is featuring the photography of Jerry Kencke in a memorial tribute to this long-time gallery member. Jerry passed away in March, but not before he had created a completely new body of work.

In 2013 Jerry earned what he considered one of his most meaningful accolades. He was named a Western Masters Artist. He was the only photographer ever accepted into this fine-art organization with its 40+ year history of partnership with the Charles M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana

Throughout his 45-year passion for photography, Jerry was always fascinated by what you didn’t see. He loved capturing the patterns & shapes that were the essence of the “unseen” image. His dream was to do a full show of these images, a departure from his usual award-winning style of western life, botanicals and scenics.

Over the past 4 years, Jerry reviewed hundreds of slides, putting together what is now his final body of work. His unusual perspectives will give you pause, teasing you to see what he saw. He loved giving little hints in how he framed his shot, sometimes a bit a sky… or not.

In honor of Jerry’s dream, “PATTERNS & SHAPES – The Art of Seeing” will be on display throughout June; opening reception is June 6, First Thursday from 5:00 to 9:00 pm. Featured musician is acoustic guitarist, Wayne White. Wine will be available from Indian Creek Winery.
