Demarcating territories and the desire to posses physical arena while asserting dominion over what is, or has been, through force or coercion seems unchangeably hardwired to animal actions on every level. From neighbors bickering over a bush that needs to be trimmed to someone’s dog encroaching on another’s lands. To global wars over invisible lines and political uprisings rejecting authoritarian rule. One theme is consistent, the desire to posses, assert influence upon, or control physical dominion and that capitol material which lies within it.

The second exhibition in the PURE LUCK Charity Series brings together two artists that survey spacial awareness and literally landscape the territory provided to them in the form of their material area. John Plunkett, veteran painter, takes a more traditional approach using paper, pencil, charcoal, paint, pastels and color. While newcomer Twyla Feinbloom manipulates leather and wood in a manner that resonates more with the current state of human interaction with nature.

Landscaping territories poses questions about animal instinct and how it forces us to act as we do. Coinciding with Armed Forces Day, this fundraiser for Veteran’s of Foreign Wars (VFW) poses the question, will humans continue to follow animal instinct or as a self aware conscious beings become one to their own rather than a servant to unconscious survival instincts.

John Plunkett - A Vietnam War veteran, drafted at 19, John Plunkett returned to the Northeast coast during the “Summer of Love 1969.” Since receiving his M.F.A. Fine Arts in 1980 from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) John Plunkett’s drawings and paintings have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums around the world.

About:

PURE LUCK is modeled after the House of Medici which began it’s artistic patronage under Cosimo de’ Medici in the late 14th century Italy. The dynasty continued for 3 centuries as one of the most prosperous and most respected institutions in Europe. PURE LUCK holds the same philanthropic policy as the House of Medici and advocates artistic expression as a means of innovation, unity and community. Moreover, as a means of creating historical while advancing society. PURE LUCK’s support is broad and covers an array of disciplines from traditional artistic mediums and culinary ideas, alternative energy sciences, to Earth cohesion systems and the hybridization that is art, architecture, technology and design today.

PURE LUCK's inspiration began as a nickname for a woman who is overflowing with the joy of life, love and learning. Attracting countless admirers and acts of generosity this woman was a classicist and trained in the classical Arts. She is the embodiment of 'pure luck' and sits atop our crest.

Projects will vary greatly from traditional to non-traditional applications in fine art, installation, performance, architecture, design and technology. We aim to curate visionaries and tomorrows leaders today. We distribute PURE LUCK in the form of pointed, positive, substantial projects and exhibitions that pay inspiration, innovation and prosperity forward for future generations.

Our mission is to fund artwork with exceptional historical value and present it on a scale and in a format that is bold and outstandingly conceptualized. Future projects will consist of small scale artworks with a solid message coupled with large scale longer term projects. These larger, more pointed works will combine architecture, green technology and city planning elements tied into a conceptual package that are nascent homes, buildings, cities, suburban developments and communities.

Our members take part in a cause that aims at a better quality of life for everyone. PURE LUCK curates innovation through art application at a societal level.

Should you choose to support PURE LUCK you will be at the forefront of new ideas in societal infrastructures, the generation of new artistic methods and literally seeding grassroots change at a communal level.

Support PURE LUCK today by making a charitable contribution to one of our projects. Thank you.
