Patrick Moser and Loren Myhre, both teachers at Flagler College. A
wonderful mixture of mixed media painting and sculpture awaits. If you
missed the article in Folio magazine, you can check out the transcript

From: Goya To: Gooseneck
(New Works by R. Patrick Moser & Loren Myhre)
(Statement):
Based on an excerpt taken from Albert Camus short story, “Jonas, Or
The Artist At Work”.
From time to time a friend would come and camp beneath the loft.
“What are you doing up there, Jonas?”-“I’m working.”-“Without
light?”-“Yes, for the time being.” He was not painting, but he was
meditating. In the darkness and this half silence which, compared to
his previous experience, seemed to him the silence of the desert or
the grave, he was listening to his own heart. The sounds that reached
the loft did not seem to concern him now, even if they were addressed
to him. He was like those men who die at home alone in their sleep,
and when morning comes the telephone rings and keeps ringing, urgent
and insistent, in the deserted house, over a corpse forever deaf. But
he was alive, he was listening to this silence within himself, he was
waiting for his star, still hidden but ready to rise again, to emerge
at last, unchanged, above the disorder of these empty days. “Shine,
shine,” he would say. “Don’t deprive me of your light.” It would
shine again, he was sure of it. But he still needed more time to
meditate, since at last he had the chance to be alone without being
separated from his family. He needed to discover what he had not yet
clearly understood, although he had always known it, and had always
painted as if he knew it. He had to grasp at long last that secret
which was not merely the secret of art, he could see. That is why he
did not light the lamp.
(Proposal):
The exhibition will be made up of paintings and sculpture all
conceived within 2009/2010. The included images represent the nature
of the work as well as pieces to be featured in the show. Along with
these examples are a resource of other paintings and sculptures of
equal quality, theme and concept that depending on curated choices may
be included. The dimensions of the paintings vary anywhere from 4ft.
square to 12in. square and many of the sculptures are floor or
pedestal situated/freestanding with dimensions ranging anywhere from
4ft. to 2ft. in any direction.The common thread in our work focuses on
the odd and eccentric product of a private creative practice. The
work brings more questions than resolution as to why it is what
creative individuals choose to pursue and produce.
