PAST EXHIBITION

Momento Vivere

Curated by Artistic Directors Amaya Gurpide and Jordan Sokol, the Memento Vivere exhibition features more than 20 works by internationally acclaimed artists, each of which represents a progressive vision of the figurative tradition and brings continued life to a historical framework. The vigor of these pieces and the optimism with which the Academy moves forward exemplify the exhibition’s Latin title -Remember to Live – serving as a reminder of the resilience of life and the importance of celebrating it through art.

“The artists in this exhibition were selected from all over the world, ranging from well-established to emerging talent. This exhibition is a celebration of the vitality of figurative art today, bringing together a selection of innovators who are giving renewed life to a traditional framework”, says Amaya Gurpide, Co-Artistic Director, Curator and Artist at Lyme Academy.

International artists featured in the Memento Vivere exhibition include Felipe Alonso, Steven Assael, David Baird, Colleen Barry, Tamie Beldue, Hedi Ben Nun, Nina Cairns, Eudald De Juana, Hollis Dunlap, Paul Fenniak, Ann Gale, Michael Grimaldi, Amaya Gurpide, Grzegorz Gwiazda, Diarmuid Kelley, Edward Kinsella, Paco Lafarga, Kate Lehman, Eduardo Millan, Eloy Morales, Ed Praybe, Edmond Rochat, Travis Schlaht, Bernardo Siciliano, Will St. John, Peter Van Dyck, Eran Webber, Timothy P.

“Lyme Academy is committed to making its Core program affordable so our students don’t head out into the world with a mountain of debt, limiting their career options”, said Michael Thomas Duffy, the Academy’s new board chair. “The funds we raise through the Memento Vivere event will help us to offer scholarship opportunities, keep our tuition accessible and make our programs available to a broad range of students”.
