    Austin Power

    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 »

    John Lytle Wilson

    My paintings draw on both religious iconography and modern commercial design. I investigate humanity's tendencies to depict animals and to use them to sell everything from food to god. Early humans drew the beasts they hunted. Mythologies developed featuring holy creatures and anthropomorphized species. Today we have cartoons, mascots, and corporate logos. In each case, animal imagery is a powerful indicator of a culture's priorities. Are they simply a powerful marketing tool, or is there inherent divinity in animals? Are people compelled to represent beasts because we see something human in them, or because we see something animal in ourselves? More »

    Barry Sparkman

    I use photo based printmaking techniques to incorporate scientific illustrations of aquatic algae (e.g. Hypnae), DNA molecules, plant and animal cells, botanical images, and pathogens into my paintings and monoprints. I establish visual connections between my own invented images and these evolutionary forms that I encountered in nature. In addition to evoking an emotional response in the viewer through the manipulation of color, shape, line, and texture, these images also precipitate rational thoughts about both the history and current status of our natural world.

    Esin Erez

    I am an artist who is thoroughly fascinated by the clashes in the visual culture of developing cities between urban/rural, and traditional/modern elements. My painting practice is focused on creating and reinterpreting snapshots of urban life such places, especially Istanbul, where I have grown up. I am interested in elements of my architectural practice into my paintings. This involves both focusing more on my "process"- something that was highly emphasized in my architecture education- and also bringing in perspective drawings and architectural collages into painting as a means of capturing the dynamics of city life that form my subject matter.

    Joe Heaps Nelson

    chronicler of bulldogs and interstate trucking. He is also proud to continue the 17,000 year old tradition of mammoth painting, and hopes to spark a resurgence. His deadpan, pop-flavored, post-ironic approach is the result of millions of years of evolution. He aspires to be worthy of the title "gentleman farmer." He is undaunted by the inevitability of death and the ultimate futility of all human endeavor. More »

    Morgan Thomas Anderson

    Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, Morgan Thomas has spent the majority of her life in observation of the people around her. She has studied art and art history around the world and graduated in 2007 from Williams College with two degrees (in studio art and sociology). Thomas' main subject is human but strives to examine more emotion and communication than the classic portrait. Utilizing a semiotic vocabulary built up through the existence of the human race, Thomas records the world around her as she perceives it visually and spiritually. She aims to communicate to her audience the honest image and heartfelt meaning of a moment in time as it can be understood through form, color, and symbolic imagery. Thomas' work is sociological, allegorical, and historical record. It does not try to comment on an event, but rather represent it for the audience to bring judgement to. More »

    Two Sevens

    Matthew McGowan (Two Sevens) believes beauty can be skin deep. With tattoos becoming more socially acceptable every day, lost on most is how the art form started. By incorporating both traditional Japanese and American style tattooing styles, Matthew tries to bring to the forefront the beauty and courage of those who wanted to tell the story of their soul through their skin, even if society wasn't ready to see it. Whether it be a '50's pin-up or a modern Geisha, the subject is proud of who they are. They tell their life story on their skin, never hiding behind the social norm. More »

    Kombo Chapfika

    As my world view evolves so do my choices of media and themes. I draw inspiration from the people around me and current events to form a chaotic bricolage of pretty fragments. Recurring themes of my work include, technological fragmentation and it's implications for our lives. Abstracting the backgrounds, I add increasingly cohesive layers, often including figures, braille, handwritten text, and minutiae line work. The intentional symbols intermingle with the unintentional to encourage imagination through suggestion. More »

    Miriam Stern

    Most people have a lot of stuff. I mean that literally and figuratively. A lot of it is excess baggage that we carry around or accumulate and don't really need. Creating the mounds of stuff you see in these monoprints, became the primary focus of the prints. More »
