An Artist Who Championed His Students and Diversity

Leave a reply

Remembering Tim Shuckerow

Tim Shuckerow (GRS ’76, art education) was a highly respected artist, art educator and mentor who delighted in recruiting talented people to campus programs—changing their lives and diversifying the ranks of art teachers.

Shuckerow directed the art studio and art education in the Department of Art History and Art for more than 30 years. He retired in 2020 and died in July 2023.

Georgio Sabino III (GRS ’09) remembers Shuckerow inviting him to join the Master of Arts in Art Education program. “He took an interest in me, an interest in my art— and he helped shape what I was doing,” said Sabino, an artist and art teacher in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.

Sandra Noble also received a Shuckerow invitation—to teach in the campus art education program after a career in the Cleveland schools. “Tim opened doors for me, which is what he did with a lot of the students, too,” she said.

He also encouraged her to return to her own art. “And look where I am now,” said Noble, who created a wall-hanging that last year became part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. 

A painter, Shuckerow also was an advocate, especially for increasing diversity among art educators. A significant portion of the more than 200 students he guided were members of racial or ethnic minority groups.

Before Shuckerow retired, he and Sabino curated an African American Alumni Art Exhibition at the campus Art Studio Gallery. “He wanted his [former] students to shine,” Sabino said.

Artist Statement: Educational Genocide vs Artistic Jungle Series – Georgio Sabino III

Leave a reply

Artist Statement – Georgio Sabino III

I am Georgio Sabino III, a multi-disciplinary visual artist, photographer, and educator. My practice is grounded in the intersections of art, technology, and social justice, and I strive to foster new perspectives by blending traditional techniques with innovative mediums like augmented reality (AR). My work is deeply connected to addressing social inequalities, particularly mass incarceration, which I view as one of the most urgent and devastating issues facing marginalized communities today.

Through my series Educational Genocide, I explore the systemic deprivation of resources and opportunities that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown communities. These paintings, created in oil during my graduate thesis, reflect on the ways in which neglected educational systems and societal disinvestment lead directly to the prison pipeline. This body of work serves as a visual critique of the structures that perpetuate cycles of incarceration, asking viewers to confront the realities of these injustices.

Spiritual Warefare

My connection to the issue of mass incarceration goes beyond just art—it’s part of my broader mission to create real-world solutions. I am actively developing an app called GoVia, aimed at reducing negative interactions between police and communities of color. This app will allow for a safer, more transparent form of engagement with law enforcement, empowering individuals to highlight positive actions and hold officers accountable. In doing so, GoVia seeks to redefine the possibilities for justice and safety in our society.

Incorporating AR into my visual art allows me to push the boundaries of how we engage with these urgent issues. My work becomes interactive, enabling photography and other digital elements to “fly away” from the canvas, offering viewers a dynamic, immersive experience that goes beyond the surface. By blending technology with art, I hope to expand how we approach difficult conversations about incarceration, justice, and equity. This interactive component emphasizes that art is not just something to be observed, but something to be experienced and engaged with, much like the societal issues it addresses.

The Calling – Choice

Community engagement is a core value in my practice. I believe that art should not only reflect the world but also catalyze change. My goal is to inspire collective action and dialogue, much like the civil rights movements of the past. Through my art and the GoVia app, I strive to build new pathways for communities to engage with law enforcement in ways that promote accountability, trust, and safety for all. It is only by working together as a community that we can begin to dismantle the systems of oppression and envision new models of justice.

Blocks of Fire – Dance

In my work, I aim to balance cultural sensitivity with a metaphysical exploration of the mind, body, and soul. I believe that art has the power to transform how we see ourselves and the world around us. Through empathy and understanding, my goal is to create works that not only highlight systemic injustices but also foster healing and hope.

Ultimately, my artistic practice is a call to action. Whether through Educational Genocide, GoVia, or the interactive experience of AR in my art, I seek to create meaningful conversations that challenge the status quo and offer visions of a more just and equitable future. My work is a reflection of my belief that art can be a tool for social change, and I am committed to using it to shine a light on the paths that lead to mass incarceration and, more importantly, the possibilities for ending it.

African American photographers have consistently used their craft to document and shape history, capturing the essence of the Black experience in America. Through projects like Archives 101 and the “History in Their Hands” exhibition, Clevelanders have the opportunity to engage with these powerful visual records. These images commemorate the 60th anniversaries of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. “Our job is to record all history of any significance,” said Georgio Sabino III. The work of Black photographers serves as a testament to the ongoing fight for justice, peace and sports celebrations with their images continuing to inspire and educate. Community programs at the Western Reserve Historical Society and the Smithsonian-Cleveland Partnership will further this mission, inviting the public to explore African American history through photography, coffee, and conversation.

Leave a reply

Kent State University is proud to present an extraordinary art exhibition featuring the works of two distinguished artists, Nana Kwesi Agyare and Georgio Sabino III, at the Uumbaji Art Gallery. The exhibition will run from August 20th to October 30th, 2024, offering visitors an immersive journey through contemporary abstract and multi-disciplinary visual arts.

Meet the Artists:                               Curator: Ebone Jones & Assistant curator Baiden Sabino

  • Opening Show: 12pm-4pm August 23, 2024
  • Mid-Exhibit Artist Talk: 6pm September 27, 2024
  • Closing Exhibit: October 30th, 2024

Nana Kwesi Agyare

Nana Kwesi Agyare stands as a luminary in the realm of contemporary abstract art, illuminating the canvas with his vibrant interpretations of emotions and the human experience. Born in Ghana, Agyare’s artistic journey commenced in his early years, deeply influenced by the rich cultural tapestry of his homeland.

Agyare’s fusion of colors and forms transcends conventional boundaries, inviting viewers into a world where imagination converges with raw emotion. His work encapsulates the essence of his experiences, ranging from the bustling streets of Accra to the serene landscapes of rural Ghana.

Having honed his craft through diverse mediums and styles, Agyare’s migration to Cleveland ignited a new phase in his artistic odyssey. Settling in this dynamic city provided fertile ground for his creativity to flourish further. Cleveland’s eclectic energy has seamlessly interwoven with Agyare’s distinct artistic vision, inspiring him to delve deeper into the nuances of abstract expressionism.

Each stroke of Agyare’s brush is a testament to his mastery, evoking a symphony of emotions that resonate deeply with his audience. His exhibitions across galleries in Cleveland have been a testament to his rising prominence, drawing art connoisseurs alike to witness the sheer brilliance of his creations.

Agyare’s artistic philosophy transcends mere visuals; it is an invitation to explore the complexities of the human psyche through an interplay of shapes, hues, and textures. His works serve as a conduit, fostering introspection and dialogue, transcending language barriers to evoke universal emotions. As he continues to carve his mark in the world of abstract art, Nana Kwesi Agyare remains a visionary, ceaselessly pushing the boundaries of expression, leaving an indelible imprint on the canvas and in the hearts of art enthusiasts worldwide.

Georgio Sabino III

Georgio Sabino III is a highly acclaimed multi-disciplinary visual artist, photographer, fashion designer, author, and educator. Sabino has fostered connections with business and art pioneers to build and develop new talent and works of art.

Sabino’s art begins with painting, photography, and graphic design, where he blends the work to convey polyrhythmic identities striving to be heard and seen. By concentrating on the principles of design, he conveys a thorough understanding of the relationship between visual arts and the future of art. He adds the next level of art called augmented reality to show there are no bounds. This new technology provides an interactive experience for the viewer, allowing the photography to fly away from the painting or digital art. The result is an immersive experience where the viewer can explore, discover, and uncover their polyrhythmic identities through art and space.

Sabino’s multi-media (digital) art creates dramatic lines pushing vibrant colors but depicting strong contrast between the images in each work of art. His graduate thesis (paintings in oil) “Educational Genocide” advances the mental, physical, and overall well-being of the viewer(s), balanced with cultural sensitivity and empathetic understanding of the patterns within each mind, body, and soul.

An experienced artist, businessman, and educator, Sabino actively participates in the professional arts and business community. He has authored a visually stunning book featuring the walk behind President Obama and his pursuit to the White House and the second term. Regarding fashion design, Sabino begins by thinking about how to create textiles, his first love, to make all aspects of fashion his own. He designs the art to mimic textiles so he can take from the 2D works of art to create the fashion fabric for his garments. Sabino’s latest creations were just featured in Paris (fashion week), where he photographed his new designs in the streets of luxury.

Cleveland – More Beautiful with Artistic Jungle and AR

Leave a reply

“Artistic Jungle,” would make Cleveland more awesome by bringing vibrant, interactive art to the city. Imagine walking through different neighborhoods and coming across stunning murals that showcase the beauty of nature, filled with bold colors and intricate details. But these aren’t just any murals—they come to life with augmented reality (AR). When people point their phones at the artwork, it transforms into an interactive experience where the art moves, tells a story, or even teaches something new about the environment.

This kind of experience would be unlike anything else in Cleveland. It would make art accessible and fun for everyone, from kids to adults. People could explore the city in a new way, discovering these AR-enhanced pieces that bring excitement and wonder to their daily lives. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, these installations would provide a fresh perspective on how art can blend with technology to create something truly magical.

The neighborhoods served by “Artistic Jungle” would include areas across Cuyahoga County, from the heart of downtown Cleveland to the vibrant communities in Tremont, Ohio City, and University Circle. By placing these artworks in various locations, we can spread the beauty and creativity across the city, making sure that everyone has the chance to experience it.

“Artistic Jungle” would also foster a sense of community and pride in the city’s artistic achievements. It would encourage people to explore new parts of Cleveland, bringing more foot traffic to local businesses and enhancing the cultural landscape of the city. Schools and community centers could also use these interactive murals as educational tools, making learning about art, nature, and technology more engaging for students.

Overall, this project would create a more vibrant, connected, and innovative Cleveland. It would showcase the city as a place where art and technology come together in exciting ways, making Cleveland a destination for creativity and interactive experiences. The blend of natural beauty and cutting-edge AR would not only beautify the city but also inspire residents and visitors to see Cleveland in a new and exciting light.

Over the past few years, GS3 has focused on creating opportunities for his students that extend beyond the classroom. His dedication to fostering artistic talent has seen remarkable results, with his students consistently producing works that demonstrate exceptional creativity and skill.

Studio Institute and Studio in a School

Through his work with the Studio Institute and Studio in a School programs, GS3 has been able to access resources and platforms that amplify his impact.

His ability to harness the support from these programs has been crucial in elevating the artistic experiences of his students, allowing them to explore and express their creativity in ways they might not have otherwise been able to.

Prestigious Recognition at Christie’s Auction House

One of the most significant milestones in GS3’s career has been his students’ participation in a prestigious art exhibit at Christie’s auction house in New York City. This achievement is a testament to the high caliber of work produced under his guidance. Christie’s, renowned for auctioning masterpieces by legendary artists like Francisco Goya, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Pablo Picasso, is a platform that symbolizes excellence and prestige in the art world.

For three consecutive years, GS3’s students have had the honor of displaying their artworks alongside these masterpieces, an accomplishment that speaks volumes about the quality of education and mentorship they receive. This opportunity not only provides invaluable exposure but also instills a sense of pride and accomplishment in the young artists, motivating them to pursue their artistic ambitions with greater fervor.

Impact on the Cleveland Community

GS3’s influence extends beyond the individual achievements of his students. By fostering a vibrant artistic community in the Cleveland area, he has contributed to the cultural enrichment of the region. His work has inspired other educators and artists to prioritize arts education, creating a ripple effect that benefits the broader community.

His students, many of whom come from underrepresented backgrounds, find in art a means to express themselves, explore their identities, and connect with others. This holistic approach to art education underscores the transformative potential of creative endeavors.

Looking Ahead

As GS3 continues his journey as an educator and mentor, his focus remains on expanding the horizons for young artists. With ongoing support from the Studio Institute, Studio in a School, and the Gund Foundation, he is poised to further elevate the standards of art education and create more opportunities for his students to shine on national and international stages.

Georgio Sabino III’s work exemplifies the profound impact that dedicated educators can have on their students and communities. Through his vision, passion, and unwavering commitment, GS3 is not only shaping the artists of tomorrow but also enriching the cultural fabric of today.
