Megan Coyle’s portrait collage, “Jean,” was on display in the Art League Gallery’s monthly juried exhibition, “Real/Unreal.” The exhibition focused on how artists interpret reality, with artwork that ranged from realism to abstraction.

The Art League described the exhibition with the following write-up:

This exhibit will explore how artists deal with reality from photorealism to abstraction.  A broad interpretation of the theme will include everything from totally abstract works to realistic renderings.

Judy Jashinsky, a world-renowned artist living in the D.C. area, will jury this show.  Her works are in many major collections including The National Gallery of Art, The Corcoran, The Museum of Women in the Arts and the Chicago Art Institute.  She has been featured in magazine and newspaper articles, such as Art in America and The Washington Post. Her 2004 installation at the McLean Project for the Arts, “Artemisia Gentileschi: An Artist’s Life” was widely reviewed and has been exhibited through-out the country.
