Real to Surreal

November 12, 1999 - February 12, 2000

The Museum of Contemporary Art /Denver is pleased to announce an exciting exhibition of regional and national realist and surrealist paintings and sculpture. Stepping from MOCA/D's previous exhibition of experimental conceptual installations, Real to Surreal embraces contemporary painters that use traditional techniques in painting and sculpture with realism as a starting point then crossing into fantasy and the surreal. In this age of instant process and gratification, attention spans seem short.

The lore of skilled craftsmanship seems more difficult to locate as we speed into a new century. Work was chosen from both the east and west coasts and brought together with the Colorado region's best talent. Each of these twenty-three artists share in kindred spirit their own unique personal vision combined with an extraordinary literal talent. This exhibition is a toast to the last turn of the century, and a toast to craft, skill, and unique visions being carried into the next century.
