"Remastered" Art Exhibit

Curated by Doric Jemison-Ball
Reinterpretations of world-famous masterpieces.
Opening Reception: Friday, September 9, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Exhibit remains through October 2.

Burnett Gallery

Artists will re-interpret recognized world famous master pieces to make them their own. A photograph of the original master work must accompany each entry.

From the beginning of time and art, artists have borrowed and/or stolen each other’s work and modified it in their own way to create new work. As Picasso said, “All artists borrow, great artists steal.” Even the Bible comments “that there is nothing new under the sun.”

Sometimes, and for different reasons, artists may redo another artist’s complete work. Often this is to poke fun at the original work or artist, or to make a joke. Sometimes it is to remake the work in the style of the artist recreating the work. But whatever the reason, when an artist recreates another artist’s work, particularly a recognized masterpiece, we call it REMASTERING.

And REMASTERING is what this show is all about. Artists will select a recognizable world famous master piece and recreate it in whatever way they want.

Artists have always done this and famous artists are no exception. Vincent van Gogh redid a number of the paintings of Jean-Francois Millet.
