TH’US . . MARSHAL HOPKINS & BARBARA REID – ‘On The Way To The Lovfest’
\nTO-NIGHT \/ THURS APRIL 18, 2019 \/ 9 PM
\nThe Corner lounge, 121 Bastion St., Nanaimo, B.C., Canada<\/p>\n

subtext: CRAFT<\/p>\n

subtext: FOLK ART & OUTSIDER ART<\/p>\n

a new respect & interest in Craft, actually began with a corresponding interest \/ and new found admiration for both traditional folk art, and outsider art<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

and they two twined well around each other, like enduring lovers. <\/p>\n

it was (maybe) first ushered on the music of the 60s \/ of Woodstock, and the Folkies, and the folk festivals.
\nBob Dylan, The band, and Janice Joplin. and of course all those self-printed psychedelic posters !!
\nwith their wild paisleys, incredible (craft-inspired) tie-dyes & ground-breaking diy typefaces & far-out fonts.
\n‘signage’ – became a really big thing.<\/p>\n

the gen \/ my gen<\/em>, and Reno & Marshal’s (!!) . . that seriously studied art in the 70s, could smell the new brew of coffee – already perking. we were bing ded & trained . . tehortrcyoal art \/ non-objective art \/ color field theory, but we wandered off into more priniv e and narrative ways.
\nI went from non-objective, large acrylic grid painting, think Agnes Martin meets Tibetan color palette, switched to smaller size watercolors on paper, and went radically ‘narrative’, my biggest influence ?
\nTraditional Japanese Edo period woodblock prints.
\nand Amish quilts.<\/p>\n

Barbara Reid, or Reno as she was called . . was always into watercolor, and folk art. landscapes, and such.
\nvery Scottish \/ spiritual rural \/ Celtic.<\/p>\n

Marshal was just plain always, marching to his own drum \/ but the theory was there . . like a dirty dog.
\nthere’s no arguing with the Irish.<\/p>\n

our teacher was the famous Quebec color theory (stripe) painter Guido Molinari – and I think in a great way, he enjoyed seeing his pictorial theory put to . . such, subversive use. <\/p>\n

what is art – if not: rebellion.<\/p>\n
