Perception and Persistence: Ojai Studio Artists

Picture
Perception       per·cep·tion      /pərˈsepSH(ə)n/    noun
  • the ability to see, hear or become aware of something through the senses.
  • the state of being or the process of becoming aware of something through the senses.
  • a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression.
 Persistence     per·sist·ence    /pərˈsistəns/    noun
  • firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition
  • the continued or prolonged existence of something
 
 
Perception can be thought of as knowledgeable seeing.
An artist's studio practice is a form of persistence.
Together, perception and persistence highlight the push/pull of thinking and making.
 
Each artist approaches their work from an individual place of their own. Artists channel what they experience through the lense of their own background, personality, experiences, and ultimately, their artistic skill. How well an artwork translates their inner vision into the physical world depends on many things. One of those is their persistence in working to achieve their artistic vision.

For over twenty years the Ojai Studio Artists have exhibited their work at this museum. We enjoy sharing their perceptions of life and art with our visitors. And we acknowledge the persistence of our partnership. This exhibition showcases the work of 75 members of the Ojai Studio Artists. Enjoy the wide range of mediums, methods, and styles of this diverse group of artists.
