Unfortunately I was unable to attend class this week because one of my close friends was killed in his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. I was in attendance at his funeral and spent the rest of the day visiting with family and friends. At one point, I was able to explore the town and ran across the Hilliard Gallery, by chance. This gallery featured many artists, one of which was John Marak. His exhibition entitled State of Contemporary Realism caught my eye both for its title and content. Below is a link to some of the pieces that were featured, however, none of them are shown in a way that truly captures the essence of his pieces. "Sycamore" was so much more intense and impressive in person than the photograph shows, for example.
