PERSONALLY COMMISSIONED ART WITH NOAH LANDFIELD An incredible opportunity for the winner to create a work of art for himself/herself in collaboration with artist, Noah Landfield. The winner will paint with Noah Landfield for one day at the NYC gallery space. Together they will create a truly unique canvas of Landfield’s (and your child’s) work. Working with Landfield will be a unique experience in and of itself. The winner and he will physically move around the canvas, which is laid flat on the floor, and drip, pour, splatter, and sponge paint into their masterpiece. At the end of the experience, Noah will personally inscribe a message memorializing the day on the back of the canvas. Noah describes his process as “very fluid loose and expressive gestures combined with slower detailed passages. I use oil and acrylic paint and I like to work on large scale paintings. My work is concerned with color in all its visual complexities, as well as nature and the landscape, and man-made cities. I believe in the expansiveness that painting has to offer.” The completed work of art will then have the opportunity to be exhibited in the Bacon/Biondi building for the entire 2022/2023 school year. This custom painting will be a magnificent addition to any art collection and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any budding artist. Donor: Findlay Galleries, Stephanie and Fred Clark
