From the press release (by David J. Wagner, Ph.D., Curator):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNDER PRESSURE \u2013 PAINTING WITH AIR (A Survey of Contemporary Airbrush Realism) will open to the public on October 24, 2021 at The Huntsville Museum of Art in Huntsville, Alabama, where it will run through January 16, 2022.  An opening reception and lecture by exhibiting artist, Don Eddy, is scheduled for the evening of October 28. After Huntsville, the exhibit will tour to The Hansen Museum in Logan, Kansas. The exhibition is comprised of 45 works, wide-ranging in theme, by noteworthy, working artists who have chosen airbrush as their principle medium of expression. According to the exhibit\u2019s Curator, David J. Wagner, UNDER PRESSURE \u2013 PAINTING WITH AIR has been a long time in coming: \u201cThe earliest, and perhaps the last exhibition to broadly survey airbrushed fine art that I am aware of was The Artist and The Airbrush, curated by Barbara Rogers, herself an accomplished artist, 40 years ago at The Art Department of San Jose State University in California where she served on the faculty.\u201d  Two of the artists whose work was featured in that seminal exhibition who are still active today, have current work in UNDER PRESSURE \u2013 PAINTING WITH AIR — Don Eddy (b. 1944) and Jerry Ott (b. 1947) — as does another, George Green (1943-2020), though he passed away unexpectedly while UNDER PRESSURE \u2013 PAINTING WITH AIR was being organized.  This exhibition is comprised of works by these and the artists who followed in their footsteps including several of today\u2019s younger generation of accomplished airbrush masters.\u201d<\/p>
