Recipient of the
2010 - 2011 Tournesol Award, Jack Leamy brings an innovative vision to the
figurative tradition of painting. Often using his wife and young son as
protagonists in the projected field of human drama, Leamy addresses larger
cultural and historical ideas through personally derived imagery and motifs
while maintaining the expressionistic and resonant qualities of abstraction.
Leamy earned a BFA at Pratt Institute and an MFA at the San Francisco Art
Institute, where he received the 2010 Irene Pijoan Memorial Painting Award. He
has exhibited works at the Cottage Industry Painting Salon, Mission Cultural
Center, Swell Gallery, and elsewhere in San Francisco and nationally.

In music, call and response refers to
two successive and distinct phrases usually played by different musicians, a
conversation-like exchange of musical statements, one being the call, and the
other the response. The paintings in this exhibition were created through a
visual call & response between artists chosen by local artist Robert Minervini.
The exhibition features the work of 10
painters from around the country. Participants were asked to step outside their
usual studio practice and engage with another artist. The paintings featured
were created during a four-month period of conversation and experimentation.
Each pair of artists set their own guidelines for their collaboration based on
location, previous histories, and artistic background. This exhibition is the
culmination of those collaborations.
It is the hope of the curator that
this exhibition will create a platform for discussion about the role of
autonomy, community, influence, and the self in the arts, as well as shed light
on the creative process.
