Amy Lincoln

In this work I re-imagine myself and my friends as characters in a two-dimensional world. Some of the portraits are on oval boards, or incorporate an ornate frame, suggesting a sentimentalized vision of the subject, much like a cameo or an old photograph. Each image does not so much represent a friend as recall her, envisioning her in a timeless, reverent space. Painting a portrait allows me to distill into a single image innumerable experiences, thoughts and emotions that relate to a particular person. In this way the paintings are totems or avatars, portraits of gods from a personal mythology. More »

I am interested in showing the difficulty and discomfort in fully understanding a person. I leave my subjects incomplete to highlight their limitations, as well as my own inability to see the subject beyond the influence of myself. More »

My dollar bill collages, inflatable sculptures, and other highly conceptual works – reflect upon the confluence of money and power throughout history, and in particular considers current US attitudes that have filtered down from Westward Expansion and notions of Manifest Destiny. The result is a political and cultural critique that encompasses not only the shifting cultural changes that have taken place within my lifetime but also those throughout US history. More »

Fain Hancock

Real and imagined, unseen or unrecognized universes coexist all around us. Sea creatures live in the deep ocean; bacteria live in the body; insects make a tiny home within a home; cells form structures to make a human. A small bit stands in for the greater whole, and exists perhaps without the knowledge of the larger piece. I have an interest in biomorphic shapes, pattern and fragile beauty. More »

O.B. De Alessi

My recent work focuses on the creation of identities through the use of fictionalized characters. The shaping of these characters has so far taken various forms: live performance, site – specific installation, internet – based art, comic - writing, and video. I have been analyzing the way identity can change according to one's own cultural references. The elements of failure, longing and frustrated desire are therefore fundamental in the shaping of my work. My installations can be seen as a single scene from a potentially longer narrative, one whose beginning and end are unknown and can, therefore, be changed continuously. More »

Wiley Robertson

I started painting when i was kid, mostly monsters and explosions. Art gave me new meaning once again and renewed my vigor. Ever since i got into graffiti letters and typography has been a focus of much of my work. Though my love of typography and color i try to make deeply layered paintings that require more then just a glance to judge it. I do believe it is a pop cultural imprint of my generation.The things i have been painting for the lost couple of years i would classify as Modern pop art with a comic-graffiti twang. More »

Episodic memories are the stories that define our lives. These memories are unpredictable; the big days fade into haze, while the smallest, most insignificant moments loom large and clear. We are left with a personal, scattered playlist of seconds. I paint these moments, these microcosms of memory, and turn them into modern icons. Some are dark, some are whimsical. Basically, I'm interested in the good bits. More »

E. M. Jensen

In his growth from youngling to older beast, Evan has been continually pressured to partake of the droll acceptance of things that most of the adult menagerie adopts. He refused then and refuses yet to partake of this dry and bitter outlook. In the formative years during adolescence and college, Evan determined that he would never divest himself of that instinct to frolic in the nature of the everyday. In his everyday, the most commonplace and forgotten moments would be as treasured and examined as the grandiose. And in his artwork, such wonder at the possibilities would be shown in its own right, or dragged kicking and screaming to be wonder for others via symbolic and fantastic imagery. More »
