The show features watercolors by Canadia artist Ray Dirks. The exhibit is being presented by the institute in conjunction with the Overseas Ministries Study Center in New Haven, where Dirks is currently artist-in-residence. The Yale Divinity School is offering additional support.
Dirks, a resident of Winnipeg, Manitoba, has lived and painted in many countries of the developing world. In order to "capture the dignity of ordinary folk in uncommonly hard lands," he says, he must "touch the dirt, feel the humidity, see the pain and share the joy" of the people he paints. He has exhibited his work in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, South America and Europe.
As a curator, Dirks has worked with artists in more than 30 countries throughout the world, including 15 African nations, and he travels widely in sub-Saharan Africa to arrange North American touring exhibits featuring the work of African painters. Currently, he is putting together an exhibition of art and photographs of daily life from 20 countries representing each major region of the world, which will open at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in July 2003.
The public is invited to meet the artist at a reception to be held 4:30-6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 11, at the Institute of Sacred Music.
The exhibit is open free of charge 9 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays. For further information, call the Institute of Sacred Music at (203) 432-5180.
For more information, call (203) 777-5537.
