Detroit Artists All Media Show—01/18/2019 – 02/16/2019
Tylonn Sawyer, figurative artist, art educator and curator took the helm when he juried the knockout 2019 Detroit Artist Market (DAM) All Media Show. And a magnificent exhibition it is with original works by 51 DAM artists members with mediums spanning collage, fiber, etching on plexiglass to photography sculpture, figurative and abstract painting. Every collector, art student, artist and anyone else interested in visual art should run, not walk, to this exhibition. The opportunity to take in such a variety of work in in an intimate setting presents an educational experience in visual art for the viewer. The exhibition juror, Tylonn Sawyer, divides his time between teaching art classes at both Oakland Community College and College of Creative Studies with making art in his studio. The invitation to jury the DAM All Media Show was enjoyable according to Mr. Sawyer who says “It is part of the creative process and requires a different skill set from creating art”. Year 2019 ended on a high note for Mr., Sawyer with a highl6y lauded summer exhibition, American Gods at the N’Namdi Center for Contemporary Art and his participation in the Prism Show during Art Week Miami. Mr. Sawyer will again flex his muscle as a juror for the Milwaukee Institute of Art Biennale 2020. Look forward in 2019 to more of Mr. Sawyers thought provoking drawings and paintings as well as his skill in identifying and elevating many talented emerging artists.
