About the exhibition: UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Artists Pay Tribute to a Great Artist, Teacher and Friend The greatest teachers give us lessons that we unpack over a lifetime. Long after our time in classrooms become fond memories, their words of wisdom, generosity of spirit, and brilliant examples speak to us across time and distance. Under the Influence is our collective tribute to Walter Cotten whose exemplary teachings transcend any specific medium or discipline. For his former students who put his teachings into our respective art practices, Walter remains one of the defining voices whose influence is still being felt by those who were lucky to call him a dear friend. As a professor, he was a one-of-a-kind mentor and an enduring North Star for all of us who sought sanctuary and purpose creating art at San Diego State University. With his trusty canine companion, Ruby by his side, Walter pointed to the truth of always infusing one’s art with content. Walter preached the gospel of having something relevant to say regardless of the medium, and he shared the discoveries of his own life’s journey with a knowing smile behind a camera’s viewfinder. Walt’s resilient and creative spirit is alive in every former student who became a lifelong artist and friend. We form a circle of kindred spirits drawing creative sustenance from the same well. We are his brothers and sisters who answered the call to adventure of being an artist in our perilous times. These artworks exist in part because Walter Cotten provided the much-needed mentorship to light the way ahead. With his rigorous, honest and candid guidance, we learned to take an ongoing leap of faith by believing in ourselves and our individual talents as artists. What a mighty and beautiful gift indeed! Thank you, Walter. We love you, now and always. -- Neil Kendricks How to view: City Gallery, San Diego City College Oct. 21 - Dec 8, 2023 Opening Reception: 5-7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21 Gallery Hours: 12-4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday And by appointment Artists: Jim CavoltBarbara HolmesAnna O'CainLael CorbinTerri HughesClare PutneyJohn DillemuthRichard KeelyDina RubiolioSteven DepintoNeil KendricksJason SherryJosh EggletonBessma KhalafJames SkalmanXuxhi NaungayanClayton LewallenDaniel Weiner David HewittMatt MorrisClay West Related links: City Gallery website | Instagram | Facebook
