Bounding Power: Republican Security Theory from the Polis to the Global Village

by: Daniel H. Deudney

Realism, the dominant theory of international relations, particularly regarding security, seems compelling in part because of its claim to embody so much of Western political thought from the ancient Greeks to the present. Its main challenger, liberalism, looks to Kant and nineteenth-century economists. Despite their many insights, neither realism nor liberalism gives us adequate tools to grapple with security globalization, the liberal ascent, and the American role in their development. In reality, both realism and liberalism and their main insights were largely invented by republicans writing about republics.

Heidi Taillefer "Muses and Heroes" at Irvine Contemporary, April 5 - May 10, 2008

Irvine Contemporary is pleased to present "Muses and Heroes," the first US solo exhibition by Montreal-based artist Heidi Taillefer. Taillefer's oil paintings on canvas and panel are an original creative fusion of contemporary realism and mythology combined with popular traditions ranging from Victorian romanticism and fantasy illustration to science fiction. She has developed a compelling new approach to contemporary questions in painting surrounding realism, surrealism, myth, and the human body in the machine and cyborg age. Her striking imagery combines painterly surrealism and hyper-realism with current cyborg fantasies--Max Ernst meets The Matrix. Heidi Taillefer grew up in artistic family in Montreal, Quebec, and has been drawing and painting since she was three. After ten years of private art instruction, she studied art and philosophy at McGill University, Montreal, and then began pursuing careers in both fine art and illustration. Taillefer searches out many sources for her imagery and concepts--Surrealism and Symbolist painting, classical and baroque painting and drawing, illustration and comic styles, and all the recent variations of cyborg imagery. She developed a style in oils and acrylics known for a fusion of mechanical and organic imagery and the appropriation of symbolic styles, and she became internationally recognized for her creation of the image of "Dralion" for the Cirque du Soleil. Her works have appeared in numerous publications, and she has been ...

The Amazing Talent of New York Artist Eleanor Gilpatrick

Eleanor Gilpatrick's paintings are beautifully executed, sophisticated works of contemporary realism. An accomplished colorist, she has her own take on content and subject matter; above all, her intense energy shows through. Despite commercial pressures, Gilpatrick refuses to make reproductions of her work, a policy greatly appreciated by her collectors. Here are works for the home, the office, or for display in other settings. Gilpatrick offers a varied portfolio of landscapes of the United States, Norway, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, and her home in New York City, as well as nebulae, still lifes, and portraits. People concerned about the human face of war will want to see her recent series, which contrasts images based on press photos of Iraq and Afghanistan with her own American scenes.

These ambitious examples of contemporary realism combine a crisp, articulate rendering with visual anomalies. Los Angeles has a distinguished legacy of Photo Realism and though not strictly a "photo" realist, Calabrese is challenging and extending that aesthetic with her own unique vision of reality.
