Naked and unafraid
Debra Hardesty, Lorrie Kempf and the late Troy Dalton at Sacramento Temporary Contemporary
“The Poetic Mind is Never Satisfied by Debra Hardesty, oil on canvas, 2008.
Troy Dalton instructed his students to cheat. In art, that is.
The longtime professor of art at American River College reasoned that it's not necessary to make art-making harder than it needs to be.
And although Dalton died in 2010, his influence lives on in his students. Fulcrum is a perfect example of that. In this exhibit, which features Debra Hardesty and Lorrie Kempf, as well as work by Dalton, the viewer sees the commonality in their renderings of figures: usually nude and often in an awkward position, but undeniably beautiful.
