The Annual Forgery Show

The Forgery Show is an annual art exhibit featuring the work of Mt. Shasta’s Atelier painters. Each year, members of the group will each execute a copy of a famous masterwork. The Annual Forgery Show began in 2013 when ten separate reproductions in oil of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa were displayed at The Gallery in Mt. Shasta. Since then the number of participating artists has increased, as well as the variety of masterworks represented.

April 2-5, 2019
Opening Reception April 2, 4-7PM
201N. Mount Shasta Blvd,
Mount Shasta, CA 96067

This year’s paintings will represent famous works by well-known painters such as: Edward Hopper, CM Coolidge, Millet, Paul Delaroche, da Vinci, Berthe Morisot and others. Contributing forgers for this year’s show include: Lou Wandro, Suzanne van Summern, Lynda Hardy, Janet Crittenden, Anne McTavish, Karen Copsey, Cindy Corrales, Nancy Schneider, Marga Filip, Ann Jensen, Carl Adams, Jenny Purtle, and Lucinda Macy.

These dedicated artists meet each week in Mt. Shasta where they continue to learn their craft and engage each other with inspiration and camaraderie. Often a person will enter the art studio and comment on how fantastic the pieces are and comment: “I could never do that; I can’t even draw a stick figure.” Then several months will pass and that same person will be enrolled in the class. With diligence and guidance, they too are soon producing fantastic oil paintings.

The ArtRoster artists express their gratitude to Lesa Michels and The Gallery for hosting the Annual Forgery show. We hope you will join in supporting this group of local talent at the opening reception on Tuesday, April 2nd from 4-7pm. The show runs through Friday, April 5th at The Gallery in Mt. Shasta (in the Black Bear Building), located at 201 N. Mt. Shasta Blvd., Mt. Shasta, CA.

The Forgery Show at Morris Adjmi Architects, Sep 28 – Jan 8, 2018

Morris Adjmi Architects of NYC presents the Next Forgery Show in NY, September 28 – January 8, 2018.
On display 21 forgeries of well known masterpieces from Mona Lisa to Modigliani.

The show features works by ArtRoster Art Atelier, a group of Northern California artists who reside at the base of Mt. Shasta. These artists use techniques from the Old Masters atelier system of the great European academic and impressionistic painting schools of the 18th and 19th centuries, for example, that of Jacques-Louis David, as well as the more contemporary methods. The selection of works on display features 21 pieces for the exhibition. For a majority of the artists, color is essential and often explosive. But for “The Forgery Show” the use of color has been stripped away, leaving behind versatility, skill, and a sense of interest. We created 21 pieces that are dead ringers for the works of Rembrandt, Vermeer, Soutine, Hopper and more. Several versions of Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa greet you in the elevator bank to get things started. We were fooled by a few. Find out if you would be, too.
