BEST of the WEST INVITATIONAL

At: Desert Art Collection & Sculpture Garden

45-350 San Luis Rey Ave. at El Paseo

Palm Desert, CA 92260

For this show the best artists West of the Mississippi River were invited to send a painting they consider to be their best piece completed that year. In addition to demonstrating mastery over medium, these artists have that “je ne sais quoi” that transcends craft.

Mostly representational, the artwork has a distinct regional feeling only captured by those who have lived and breathed the West.

The jurors only considered artists who consistently did work that met the qualifications of extraordinary fine art—mastery of medium, great composition, expression of thought, and, of course, that certain something that evokes an emotional response. As Richard Gonzalez, master sculptor from England, says, “We do not have to be specially educated to smile, or to know when we love something. Appreciation of art is a natural human faculty that cannot be taught, only experienced…”

The show, then, could be considered the best of the best. By any perspective, it is fine art.

2004 Best in Show entry by Allison Stewart resulted in MSA Consulting corporate art commission, Rancho Mirage, CA.

Art & Sculpture Consulting is a service and resource for architects, developers, designers and collectors. We place appropriate and compatible fine art and sculpture. Art & Sculpture Consulting helps with the detailed process of placing or commissioning site-specific fine art in public or private spaces. Art & Sculpture Consulting has worked with some of the largest developers in the world. The artists are from all over the United States and their work can be found in public and private fine art collections throughout the world. We have the experience necessary to complete the job effectively and efficiently. Our sculptor's works are wonderful for residences and gardens. When enlarged they make beautiful focal points for corporate headquarters, malls, large office buildings, hotels, parks, harbors, etc.--any public space where architects or designes want to create an atmosphere, build an image, increase the aesthetic appeal or make a statement using fine art and sculpture. Our artists have been carefully selected for their ability to handle large corporate art sculpture commissions--which often involve engineering, meeting deadlines and modifying designs. The range of creativity and technical accomplishments of the artists are remarkable. It is mature fine art from seasoned professionals as well as ground-breaking work from emerging talents. Our artists have pushed themselves to explore the possibilities of their media. Their fine art and sculpture exhibit range as well as versatility while maintaining a definite identity... www.artandsculpture.us/page0028.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0030.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0020.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0003.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0010.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0012.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0013.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0018.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0047.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0017.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0082.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0071.htm www.artandsculpture.us/page0093.htm
