Ruth Bolduan: 18th Century Portraiture Redefined - Special Exhibit
Mount Clare Museum House presents Ruth Bolduan: 18th Century Portraiture Redefined, an exhibition of 18th-century-inspired works by Richmond-based artist and Virginia Commonwealth University faculty member Ruth Bolduan, Saturday, Aug. 14 through November 6, 2010. There will be an artist talk on Saturday October 16 and Artist Reception on Sunday September 19.
Bolduan, who received her MFA from American University, makes paintings that incorporate lush color, exuberance, and whimsy in combination with 18th century clothing, motifs, and patterning. Bolduan says, “The eighteenth century fascinates me as a woman and as an artist. Yet, a sense of political and global unease underlies this light-hearted façade.” In addition to being exhibited within the United States, Bolduan’s work has also been exhibited internationally. She has had exhibitions in Spain, Peru, France, China, and Turkey.
George Ciscle, curator-in-residence at Maryland Institute College of Art, placed students in contact with Mount Clare Museum Director, Jane Woltereck. Using their background in painting, art history, and curatorial studies, Nicole Bassilone ’11, Kyle Freeman ’11, and Kristie Winther ’11 arranged Bolduan’s paintings in a dialogue with the objects in the Museum’s collection. The paintings engage visually and thematically with the 250 year old Carroll family home.
