January Crit Night
About the program:
Crit Night is a critique session for DVAA members to present their artwork to the larger DVAA community for constructive feedback, fueling the artistic process. While only DVAA Members may present, Crit Night is free and open for all to attend.
This month, we will discuss the work of DVAA Members Michael Marks, Pamela Tudor, and Robert Zurer.
Michael Marks has been making black and white film photographs and prints in the darkroom for over 45 years. He is largely a self-taught “amateur”, having never attempted to make a living from photography. That said, he has taken some classes in college, read a lot, self discovered a lot more, attended workshops with John Sexton, Henry Gilpin, Steve, Szabo, Michael Smith, Paula Chamlee and Frank Van Riper and has had his work exhibited in group and solo shows. Recently, Marks founded the Monalog Collective dedicated to supporting black and white photography and traditional printing processes.
Pamela Tudor is a painter and creator of three-dimensional shadow boxes, working in acrylics and mixed media. Her expressive paintings focus on concerns about our beautiful planet and touching something in the collective unconscious. After receiving an M.A. in Applied Psychology from New York University, she attended four years of art school. Pamela has shown at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Fairmount Waterworks, the Marriott at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and the Noyes Museum in Oceanville, NJ. Her work is in private collections in NY, NJ, Philadelphia, Miami and Los Angeles.
Robert Zurer is a native New Yorker who very recently relocated to Philadelphia where he now maintains his studio practice. He has been drawing and painting since he was a child. He is primarily self-taught although he did study privately for some years with the painter Wade Schuman. He has been an active member of the NYC Crit Club since its inception in 2017 and founded Philly Group Crit in 2019. His work has been exhibited in numerous group shows in and around New York, in Nashville, New Haven, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Grand Rapids, Philadelphia and Edinburgh, Scotland.
Critiques are free and open to public to attend! Bring a friend!
If you are just attending the program, and not presenting work, there is no need to register in advance.
