\"Clarksville'sClarksville, TN<\/strong> – This month the Customs House unveiled Figuratively Speaking, its National Juried Exhibition. This is the first time the biennial show has taken on a theme.<\/p>\n

Juror Ruth Crnkovich selected thirty-two pieces from over ninety-five entries.<\/p>\n

She says of the collection \u201cDefining successful portrait painting requires an amalgam of both subjective and objective criticism.”<\/p>\n

“On the surface, the first consideration in successful portrait making is the level of resemblance the images has to the sitter as portrayed in the artist\u2019s unique style,” stated Crnkovich. “Portraits that emit or stir intrinsic feelings, thereby stirring emotive responses from the viewer, represents a higher level of success in the hierarchy of good art making.”<\/p>\n

“Finally, technically speaking, the composition, technique, level of craft, and overall presentation factor into the equation. The portraits in this exhibition successfully hit upon all of these points, albeit at varying levels and the artists should be commended for their competency,\u201d said Crnkovich.<\/p>\n

\"Juried<\/a>

Juried Exhibition: Lewis – The girl with the fox fur<\/p><\/div>\n

The Best in Show went to Snippet #2, a ceramic piece by New York artist Marsha Mack. Marsha currently is a Graduate Teaching Assistant, at Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York. She was a Ceramics Area Lab Assistant at San Francisco State University.<\/p>\n

She is Vice President of the Shaped Clay Society and a member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts.<\/p>\n

The artists says of her work \u201cIn today\u2019s world where pop-up ads define pop culture and the most widely read texts are on cell phones, it sometimes seems that reality doesn\u2019t reach far beyond reality TV. With my sculptures I try to emphasize the psychology and the lived experience of the individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Joseph<\/a>

Second Place went to Nashville, Tennessee\u2019s Jessica Lewis, and Third to Lucas James of New Hampshire. Honorable Mentions were given to photographer Mitzi Cross and Victoria Goro-Rapaport.<\/p>\n

Guests of the opening reception voted on the museum\u2019s People\u2019s Choice Award, which was given to Joseph Moniz for his oil painting Ritual.<\/p>\n

Figuratively Speaking will be on exhibit through July 13th in the museum\u2019s Kimbrough Gallery.<\/p>\n
