The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and Murals of La Jolla present Michael Mercil as he gives attendees an inside look on his career, process, recent projects, and 2023 mural ART IS GOOD FOR YOU, commissioned by Murals of La Jolla. The Ohio-based artist explores the realms of “the near, the low, the common” and incorporates an expansive number of mediums (drawing, painting, needlepoint, sculpture, landscape architecture, film, performance, teaching, and farming) in his art. Painted directly on-site, with a complementary color palette that pops, the text becomes a lively imperative to embrace art as a crucial and ubiquitous aspect of daily life. Mercil received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and an MFA from the University of Chicago. His work has been featured in many prominent institutions, including The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia; the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts; The Living Culture Initiative in collaboration with Ann Hamilton at OSU; The Beanfield, The Virtual Pasture, and Site set-aside projects at Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus; and the Art Market™, an ongoing, Columbus-based studio project. Mercil’s talk begins at 6:30 p.m. and is preceded by at reception at 6 p.m. Stay Updated with Athenaeum Music & Arts Library! Facebook | Instagram | X

R.B. STEVENSON GALLERY is delighted to announce its upcoming exhibition, "Forest Bathing," showcasing a stunning collection of new paintings by San Diego-Los Angeles artist Jeanne Dunn. We would like to invite you to join us and meet the artist at the opening reception on Saturday September 7 from 5 - 8 p.m. Forest Bathing is the title of this new body of work because it relates to my current paintings and the motives behind their creation. The phrase comes from Japan, where the practice of shinrin-yoku, or literally “forest-bath,” is the name for the time-honored practice of walking in the woods for its benefits to the mind and body, a departure from one’s cares. My bold colors and semi-realistic forms take their cue from this idea of immersion in sensations and individual experiences of an arboreal place. By offering the unexpected in form, shape, and color, these tree-filled “scenes” aim to challenge our assumptions of what we might see along a wilderness trail. They express the joy of abandoning the familiar and encountering a new world that is vibrant, animated, and perhaps mysterious.
