Guest Curator:
David Thompson, Serrano Contemporary/ Sonnet Gallery, NYC
*Indicates Curators Choice Awards nominees

EMOTIVE POWER-- When David Thompson of Serrano Contemporary sat down with the curator's lightbox to select the N*des-of-the-Month for the December 2008, he exclaimed, "Wow, there's a lot of great work here." Then Thompson studied the art silently looking up and down the lightbox for some long, quiet minutes. His choices are notable for both the variety of the overall selection and the individuality of the artists. In the call for entries, Thompson had said,

In the December exhibition I’m interested in finding a unique connection with the artist’s sensibilities. I always look for the artistic ability to connect and share tender and intimate conditions with the viewer. Without limitations, I would like to see the human figure revealed in the most genuine, delicate and emotive form.

True to his intent of selecting work with emotive power, each of these pieces is its own world of power, mystery, pleasure or pain. When the selection was over, Thompson said, "It was much harder than I thought...."

The 31 artists selected for December 2008 (with day of month) are: Michael Apice (25), Grant Besley* (3), Donna Cleary (29), Roger Cummiskey* (1), Donelli DiMaria (30), Harald Grote (6), Mollie Kellogg (20), Guenter Knop (14), Szn Kraft (9), Francien Krieg (16), Tony Lee (19), John Luce Lockett* (28), Lucinda Luvaas (17), Jean Marcellino (24), Peter Matthews (11), Joseph Mays (31), Jacqui Morgan (12), Benjamin Nazareno (26), Kathy Ostman-Magnuesen* (7), Hector Olvera* (13), Angelique Price (2), Richard Rabkin (23), Jon Rettich (21), Jennie Rosenbaum (27), Chanit Roston (15), Cindy Sibilsky (5), Emily Stedman (4), Sara Swan (10), Haydee Torres (18), Jim VanKirk (8), Judy Volkman (22).
