Ken Aptekar's paintings tell stories, pose questions, excavate memories, reinterpret personal history or world history - his works are paintings as conversations, as dialogs. During the four-day painting workshop participants will be encouraged to discuss the question of what paintings mean and how does a painting produce a meaning. Ken will explore his own particular responses to these questions with the group and, through dialog, assist participants in elucidating their own thoughts and reactions. A painting, in Aptekar's view, produces meaning both from what the artist puts into the work and from the responses of viewers. Participants can work on a canvas in either oil or acrylic paint.
