Denise Corley
Corley’s work draws on ideas inspired by the substance of reality as being formulated by physicists and mathematicians such as string theory, membrane theory, Calabi-Yau manifolds but also the reality of memory all suggesting a many dimensional, folded space of being.
Brett De Palma
My artworks are the residue of my experience; they are witnesses created to reflect their time and place. They are consciously and unconsciously crafted to mirror the ever-evolving information of my personal perceptions and are tangible reminders of a remembered life for those who come after.
Fred Duignan
I am a painter.
After many years of harnessing technique, pursuing picturing, following trends and restating history, I now avoid making art that is burdened by technique, overwhelmed by thought, or crushed by style. The resulting objects of my latest direction titled SPILLS become, reveal, inform and decide their place in the world’s view. Painting has become an experience based on the belief in my hand as a channel of the expression hidden in the materials themselves. It is the resultant dialogue with color and form where my originality still resides. The uniqueness of the object as itself fully revealed presents the viewer with a complex visual experience resulting in direct recognition.
Sergey Grebennikov
Born in 1960 in Novosibirsk. He studied and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Civil Engineering in 1982. He worked in his specialty, was engaged in graphics, book illustration. Since 1995 I have been working at the Novosibirsk State University of Design and Art at the Department of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture. In 2000 he was admitted to the Union of Artists of Russia. I work in abstract graphics - acrylic on coated paper, in the author's technique on the principles of spontaneity and improvisation.
Stephen Lewis
Stephen Lewis is a painter and printmaker who is work is primarily concerned with art of observation of both the sociopolitical and natural world. In that sense, his work is unique in that it inhabits to distinct genres; naturalism and political art, but the artist sees his practice as incorporating the same principals in the creation of both bodies of work -they are tied together by the artists unique ability to articulate realities that only become obvious thru monastic observation and study.
About Gary Mayer
Gary Mayer studied art at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Gary’s work has been described as impactful and frenetic, kinetic but underneath is a framework built on a rich study of nature, of literature and of the history of art. Gary is prolific at all. His work is both lyrical and dark, sometimes using cartoon line a and sometimes highly expressionist brushwork. He has developed a broad organic vocabulary of forms which he reworks with a mastery of stroke whether it be a brush, a marker, or colored pencils. In 1982 he moved from his native Detroit to New York City where he exhibited at Exit Art. His work has since appeared in shows in his native Detroit and other parts of the country.
Dorothea Osborn
The ethereal, ephemeral, and fragmentary aspects of contemporary society, the environment, and personal life are an integral part of my work. The fleeting moment is the central experience. My artwork is an attempt to manifest that moment in physical terms. Into this I enter notions about dichotomies and tensions between the physical world and the spiritual realm: materialism versus non-material; representation versus abstraction; humor versus solemnity.
The tension between measured time and lived time is the at the heart of my painting practice in which I place abstract painted and drawn elements in tension with found objects in works that range from inches to many feet in scale. The fragmentation of materials, cut and sewn, or adhered back together, embody temporal ruptures and repairs. Viewers can become absorbed in the timeless experience of the ethereal colors and expressive forms, and three-dimensional elements impinging on their space will eventually call for them to think about historical components and their own body’s unfolding relationship to the object over time. My long-standing interest in temporality has been reshaped in recent years with the urgency of climate change and my reflections on the Anthropocene. Incorporating found objects, three dimensional qualities, synergic relationships, I think about the life span of our debris in contrast to our own.
Picasso said that no art is truly abstract because the artist always starts from something. I usually establish a piece with imagery from life or sketches, which I alter in a painterly language, both with a conscious and intuitive flow of materials and via a conscious level of semiotics. Some of the altered relationships are formalist structures. The formal elements are those, when transformed; evolve as signifiers in my work. Using this process in artwork leads to tensions between the representational and abstract. My work lies between the two. The application, variety, and reworking of materials is crucial. It is extremely complex, leading to visible transparency and multiple layers.
