Guyot Recreates Riviera MuralBy Treena Flannery Ericson

M argie Guyot likes to push herself,artistically. In April of 2003she was commisioned by Union

Local 36 to paint a mural recreating the northwall frescoes of Diego Riviera's work, De-troit Industry.

Guyot viewed the 9'x22' mural as achallenge. "Before this commission Icouldn't imagine painting anything largerthan than sixteen inches by twenty inches,"said the Scarab artist. The finished work canbe seen at the union hall, located near theFord assembly plant in Wixom. Guyot hasworked for the company for twenty-sevenyears and is currently employed as a GroupLeader at the plant.

From July until early October Guyotspent two days a week, eight hours each day,working on the mural. The project tooktwenty-two days to complete.

Guyot enjoyed drawing as a highschool student, but chose to pursue musiceducation at Morehead State University, inKentucky. A job layoff in 1980 left her withsome time on her hands and she turned backto drawing.

Painting workshops have given her the

opportunity to sharpen her skills and gainconfidence as an artist. Since 1986 she hasregularly attended workshops in a varietyof locations around the United States and insouthern France.

Guyot cites Clyde Aspevig of theScottsdale Artists' School, as her favoriteteacher, although she was initially intimi-dated by him.

" I was frightened of him and had topray each night in order to face him in theworkshop in the morning," she said. "Whatstuck with me most was that he taught us tobe aware of color temperatures, how re-flected light affects color, knowing the di-rection of light, and most importantly, theimportance of taking the time to get the colorand value right."

Another teacher who inf luencedGuyot's work was Robert Bateman. "He saidto always try to make a painting look fresh,"she noted "like something nobody has seenbefore. And he stressed the importance ofcomposition. He said a painting should lookgood at fifty feet away— 'Not like a pizza!'"

Bates' calm attitude made an impacton Guyot, as well. "Just being around himfor a weeklong workshop in Montana, back

LECTURE SERIES'SEVEN PHILOSOPHIES OF ARTBy Ray MacDonaldAdmission: $10 per person

Sunday, November 9th 4-6pmPart II. RHETORIC, SKEPTICISM &POST-MODERN ARTWhat is rhetoric? What is the relationof rhetoric to poetics? How do each ofthese literary disciplines relate todiscussions snd debates concerningcontemporary visual arts? ArthurDanto claims that not onlycontemporary art, but the entirepanorama of western art history canbe best understood as rhetoric. Thissession will provide a firm grasp of thelegitimate use and frequent misuse ofthe idea of rhetoric.

Sunday, December 14th 4-6 pmPart III. EXISTENTIALISM,EXPRESSION & ACTION PAINTINGWhat is existentialism? What doesexistentialism have to do with art?Both Jean Paul Sartre and HaroldRosenberg have written on thesetopics, connecting existentialism withthe life and works of such artists asTintoretto, Picasso, Brancusi, AlbertoGiacometti, Alexander Calder,

Jackson Pollock and Wilhelm deKooning. To be clearly understoodexistentialism must be compared andcontrasted with rival philosophicalsystems, such as Aristotle's so-called"essentialism," where one finds aconception of the world as a realityconsisting of pre-existing genere andspecies of animals, vegetables andminerals. Existentialism, in contrast,makes a radically different view. Artderives from life, it is true, according toWilhelm de Kooning, but neither theartist nor the painting has a characterthat pre-exists their encounter.

ART

TALKCHARCOAL:challenged

The body of work in myOctober lounge galleryexhibit, CHARCOAL:

challenged, began with an acciden-tal use of gesso to heighten contrastin charcoal drawing that lackedsufficient punch. Using gessorequired some experimental ways itcould be combined with charcoaland the charcoal dust I had alsoadded to my basic repertoire oftools. Sprayed water into charcoalstrokes created one effect; sprayingor brushing water first, then siftingdust into it and manipulating thepaper surface created otherpossibilities. Layering gesso,charcoal and then spraying pro-vided ever different surfaces to beexploited. Suspending dry pigmentor charcoal dust in medium madepainterly elements available, whichcould then adhere additional layersof charcoal or pigment. Finally allof the above techniques could befurther manipulated with my usualerasers, chamois, cardboard,sandpaper and fingers.

While an intuitive response tothe images as they develop on thesupport provides the direction I'lltake with the image, each workbegins with a small pencil sketchidea as a guide to organizing theentire area of the composition. Attimes the sketch and the interactingof the materials do not need, nor dothey invite, further major elements.

Fine tuning details can takehours or days of mental consider-ations of possibilities unti l the lastlittle detail is resolved.

More often the sketch is thespringboard for experimenting withsurfaces and textures, incorporatingthem and building more and morelayers of interest within and beyondthe initial idea but a ghost of theidea usually comes through.

Mural Honors Role of Laborcontinued from page 1

in 1987 made me aware of how laid-backhe is. "He never lost his cool. Many timesI catch myself stressed out and think of him."

Guyot studied Riviera's work closelybefore beginning the project and her hom-age to the Mexican artist turned out extraor-dinarily well.

"It was like doing a giant crosswordpuzzle, only using colors and shapes, as op-posed to words. Patience—it takes patiencefor mural work. One of the interesting dis-coveries I made while painting the mural wasthe different facial expressions of the work-ers. I hadn't done much portrait work, andwas surprised at how much fun it was. Ithink portrait-painting is going to be my nextfrontier.
