| The Phantom of Liberty; mixed-media on panel, 36" x 24" |
The jurors for the 2025 Made in NY exhibit selected one of my two entries, The Phantom of Liberty. This is my third version of this concept juxtaposing two American icons, the Statue of Liberty and Fat Man, bookending a nuclear family on the edge of a nuclear disaster.
The usual competitive show, jurors David MacDonald and Sayward Schoonmaker had to sift through at least 460 artworks and they pared it down to 71. That’s a 15% acceptance rate—whew! While this is my fifth time out of ten tries I say yes, it’s tough to gain entry into this kind of exhibit. Of course questions as “Does this mean that my rejected art is no good?” come to mind. The obvious answer to the latter is an assured “no.”
MiNY is held at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center annually in Auburn, NY and will be open to the public from March 29 to May 17. Admission is $10 per person, while children under 12 are free.
