Spring 2018 Exhibit
Featuring: Jeff Chapman-Crane, Realism
Jeff is a notable realist who has shown and sold his astounding paintings in New York and other large cities. His work is finely detailed with subtle hues that are surprising up close as from far away.
It was a delight to host Jeff and his wife Carmen who helps him in every way. They are a team for his astounding master works of realism, and they are a team in all aspects of family and their life together.
Their home gallery is in Eolia, Kentucky.

Trees that became oils in earth's strata -
and coal miners sipped coffee in early darkness -
who mined and loaded and hauled -
across steel tracks, and tressle bridges -

like navigatin' through this deconstructive architectural cross-section -
via vessels of...conveyance and habitation -
vessels built by birds continually -
and by humans too -
Granny Octavia made bird houses from Gourds, like this one made of ceramic -
a mind is like a vessel, if it's empty, you need to fill it with something -
like sacred manuscripts hidden for centuries -
a mind is like a vessel, if it's too full, stuff spills out -
unless it's designed to withstand disasters, and then -
inspiration for forming, inscribing, coloring and using them well happens -
Clay "raku" vessels by Angela Combs -
ArtChiTechts inscribe vessels for human habitation -
somewhat like this hypothetical Orphanage -
