Rosalux Gallery

Open Door 17!

Rosalux Gallery presents their annual open call exhibition Open Door 17!, juried by Pao Her.

Our hyper-realistic landscape drawings are done in charcoal or pencil, and depict "places of memory" &nbsp;throughout the United States in which we have grown, learned, and changed. The works in this exhibit embody &nbsp;our belief that the mundane is miraculous, the ordinary is extraordinary, and the commonplace is singular and &nbsp;sublime. The landscapes are empty of human presence, and are meant to celebrate the majesty and grandeur &nbsp;of a country filled with the natural beauty we often overlook in our routine, insulated daily lives. Our wish is to &nbsp;show that the open outdoor places of the world, in their stillness and quiet peace, are an important part of who &nbsp;we are. These places deserve our veneration and awe, our heartfelt introspection, and our humble gratitude. Honoring these places is a way for us to cultivate hope and optimism, and a way for us to move toward greater &nbsp;health, happiness and personal meaning. – Bly and Rowan Pope, 2022 &nbsp;
About the Artists&nbsp;
Bly Pope
Bly Pope is an artist with a profound dedication and experience with hyperrealism and the classic fine art traditions. He graduated from Stanford University and received his Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Minnesota.&nbsp;
His work has been shown and awarded in numerous exhibitions. His drawing, “Maryanna,” was selected to be a part of the National Portrait Competition Exhibition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in 2013-2014.&nbsp;
His artwork has been shown in &nbsp;many national and international exhibitions and has won numerous awards. Public collections include The Cafesjian Museum of Fine Art, Armenia and the Minneapolis Institute of Art, &nbsp;Minneapolis, MN.&nbsp;
Rowan Pope&nbsp;
Rowan Pope is an artist whose work explores the human condition by telling visual narratives. Many of his &nbsp;drawings and paintings are inspired by great stories from literature, particularly the surreal work of Franz &nbsp;Kafka. Rowan also draws and paints landscapes, which are meant to celebrate the vast beauty and quiet &nbsp;peace of nature, and humanity’s humble place within it. Rowan has worked extensively with genocide and &nbsp;Holocaust survivors, and some of his art derives from the devastating real-life stories told by those survivors. &nbsp;While his drawn landscapes derive from single photographs, he also works in an imaginative style of hyper realism called “composite hyper-realism,” in which he integrates photographs into digital collages and &nbsp;transforms those collages into meticulous drawings. &nbsp;
Rowan graduated from Stanford University and received his Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of &nbsp;Minnesota. In 2013 he created an illustrated book based on the stories of Holocaust survivor Joe Grosnacht, &nbsp;for which he received a Major Arts Grant from Rimon: The Minnesota Jewish Council. He recently received a &nbsp;Faculty Development Grant to travel to Prague, Czech Republic, to create drawings about the life of Franz &nbsp;Kafka. &nbsp;
His artwork has been shown in many national and international exhibitions and has won numerous awards. &nbsp;Public collections include The Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN, and the Walker Art Center, &nbsp;Minneapolis, MN.
