If there is one theme a group show can have that will consistently reel me in, it’s a show in which the artists are drawing inspiration from earlier periods of art. The last how like this was “The Idol Hours” that took place last November at London Miles (featured). Distinction Art is all set up to open another show with this theme entitled ” The Pillars of the Earth: A Tribute to the Masters” on march 12th, and will continue until April 2nd. There is some great work in this show, and I am glad that a majority of these artists tackled paintings that aren’t often reinterpreted. The list of participating artists is Sean Chappell, Jeff Christensen, Nathaniel Clark, Jon Jaylo, Jason John, Dan Lydersen, Macsorro, Pedro Matos, Joey Remmers, Ivan Unwin, Timothy Vermeulen, Beau White, and Pamela Wilson. Take a look at the preview, and then keep your eye on the site for the full preview.
