This is Kansas City Society for Contemporary Photography’s annual juried exhibit. It is to showcase what photographic artists are doing today in Kansas City and the Midwest. Works will have been produced from 2020 – 2022 encompassing a broad range of photography styles and processes that represent the diversity of our region. Our juror, April Watson, has selected 26 pieces out of the 240 pieces that were submitted. It shows a vast array of ideas, concepts, and processes.

This year’s juror, April M. Watson, Senior Curator, Photography at The Nelson-Atkins of Art in Kansas City, MO. During her fourteen year-tenure at the Nelson-Atkins, she has curated numerous exhibitions from the museum’s renowned Hallmark Photographic Collection and organized several major loan exhibitions.

Each Painting is an invitation to join my journey. Deep down, there’s a boiling sea of ideas and emotions that generates constantly and need to be released and funneled into a medium that brings me peace of mind and calm- That’s what oil painting does to me!

The energy and drive can be felt through the boldness of colors, the intensity of the brushstrokes along with the heaviness of the palette knife layers and the emotions through the softness of the backgrounds and mysteriousness of the color composition.

No two days are alike so does my art! All of my paintings leave some of the background exposed showing where it begins on the wood panel and let rise to the surface a modern simplistic beauty through the layers.

A balancing act between choosing how much to reveal versus how much to hide creating the “perfect imperfect”.

The paintings are meant to evoke emotions and leave enough room for the new owner to complete their own story. I’m a generator of ideas, a generator of smiles through my art and there’s nothing that makes me happier than sharing it with you! — Genevieve Hamel
