Fantastical Imaginings is an exhibition that features artists, both emerging and established, whose creations are oriented toward fantasy--working across styles and media to produce imaginary worlds filled with discovery and intrigue. Influenced by factors such as outsider art, Surrealism, graphic novels and cartoons, each of the artists in the exhibition share the notion that they are enabling “the creation of a unique world in which human activity takes place, fully invented by the artist.”
The exhibition includes the work of: Laylah Ali, Roberley Bell, Paul Chidester, Amy Cutler, Marilyn Holsing, Mark Hosford, John Karpinsky, A.D. Loveday, Claire Owen, Serena Perrone, Hiro Sakaguchi, John Shipman, Ann Siems, and Lee Wilkinson.
Fantastical Imaginings is a traveling exhibition curated by J. Susan Isaacs that originated at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art. The exhibition is featured at MAP and the Julio Fine Arts Gallery at Loyola College from February 19 through March 28, 2009.
