The annual Artlightenment festival which occurs every
November at the Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre Nashville is set
to have a pre-show seminar by underwater visual artist Christy Lee Rogers.
Christy Lee Rogers, an artist originally from Kailua,
Hawaii, has been selected as a featured artist for the 2014 Artlightenment
showcase in Nashville, Tennessee. Prior to the show, she will deliver a seminar
titled “Making a Career as an Artist.”
Writer Duncan Beebe for Eyemazing Magazine described Rogers’
work as, “…undeniably contemporary yet also timeless,” and, “portions appear to
be drawn from the Baroque period, where dynamic movement and overt emotion were
at their height. Many have likened her
work to the Baroque master Caravaggio, with her emotive dynamism and dramatic
use of lighting.”
Adam Jacques of the Independent Newspaper in London says
this about her work, “The ethereal payoff is indeed redolent of a mix of
Masters – the vivid hues of Titian, the straining bodies of Rubens, the sun-dappling
chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, but also the loose brushstrokes and fluid movement
of Delacroix; hints, too, of the Tiepolo-esque heavenly ascents adorning many
an 18th-century Venetian chapel.”
“Her experience and portfolio are impressive, and we couldn’t
ask for a better seminar to kick-off Artlightenment,” says Corinne Sullivan,
president of the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre Nashville.
Christy Lee Rogers will deliver the pre-show seminar at
5:30pm on Thursday, Nov 13th. For more information about the Artlightenment
