The Katharine B Sutphin Collection at the new Eskenazi Health Center Grande is nominated for an Indy Chamber's Monumental Award in Public Art. You can vote for us in the People's Choice category by going to the Chamber's post and liking this image of John Moore's Introspection. This was a massive and fun project that I am truly proud to have brought to fruition.

With 93 artworks created by, for and with the input of a diverse range of talented eastside residents and other gifted Indiana artists, The Eskenazi Health Katharine B. Sutphin Collection at the Eskenazi Health Thomas & Arlene Grande Campus reflects, engages and helps heal the community it serves.

Patrick Kikut
Sacrificial Still Life: Lower Basin Produce- Mellons, Citrus, and Strawberries, 2021

Sacrificial Still Life: Upper Basin Produce and 18 inch Smoked Brown Trout, 2016

Sacrificial Still Life: Lake Mead Produce, 2022

Sacrificial Still Life: Lower Basin Fruit Stand, 2022
Oil on Canvas

This series of still life paintings feature food produced by Colorado River Basin agriculture consumed throughout the nation and world. The millions of years old Colorado River does not reach its natural ending point in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico because humans have altered its flow to serve 40 million people in the Southwest and sustain agriculture along its sunny banks. As Kikut states, “I see this work as a reminder that we all are complicit in the fact that the river does not reach its natural end in the Sea of Cortez. We sacrifice the river for our melons, microgreens, peaches, citrus, peppers, and, alfalfa to feed cattle that are then sacrificed for burgers.” These still life paintings have become landscape paintings as they tell the story of this watershed.

Shelby Shadwell
Untitled (anthracite coal), 2022
Charcoal, pastel on polyester

Shadwell made this drawing from the coal specimen in the next image and on display in the gallery. Continuing themes from previous bodies of work, like the Space Blanket series, Shadwell focuses on the metallic luster which can be reminiscent of pyrite or “fool’s gold.” Through the grand reproduction of this specimen’s folds, cracks, and contours, the artist has created a fictional landscape.

Shelby Shadwell
SPACE BLANKET 6, 2022
SPACE BLANKET 7, 2022
Charcoal, pastel on polyester

Shadwell is known for making large-scale hyper realistic charcoal and pastel drawings. For this series, Shadwell reproduces images of space blankets, a cheap and flimsy material with a brilliant sparkling appearance reminiscent of precious stones or metals. This metallic quality is directly in juxtaposition to its monetary value, not unlike “fool’s gold”. These metallic blankets are similar to materials found at a crash site near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 and they allude to a shared cultural fascination with space travel and the possible existence of extraterrestrial life. While often packed in first aid kits, these blankets have more recently become a symbol associated with the border crisis between the US and Mexico. Commonly featured in the media wrapped around migrants detained in camps where conditions are harsh, Shadwell’s hyperrealistic drawings lovingly recreate the blanket’s alluring metallic surface while referencing this struggle of land and ownership.

Brian R Jobe
Right Angle Reply (Indianapolis), 2022
Brick and paint

Focusing on sculpture, installation, and public art, Jobe’s work is at the intersection of design and architecture where the delineation of pathways, borders and boundaries become interactions. Here the artist is drawing spatially by tracing of the angles and boundary of the wall. This work is stacked, held in compression without the use of hardware or adhesives. The use of construction grade materials gives structure, permanence, and gravity to the design in both the physical object and the space created between the wall and the bricks.
