Art Culprit
"Talbot’s Pop Chart" - Art Culprit is Roger Sayre and David Poppie. This photogram is made of vinyl records that were produced by various groups from the UK over a 50–year span. Colored vinyl records, now a collector’s item reminiscent of the influence of the British music scene, are beautiful fragile translucent objects. Where the colors overlap, a new one is created. The arrangements of these colorful platters are like large abstract modern stained glass patterns. -

"The Boudica Underground" - Threadbare layers of old subway posters in the London Underground provide the backdrop for this collage. Legendary warrior queen Boudica is featured in this triptych alongside other icons of Britain's rich cultural and historical heritage. -

"Signs" - This piece represents and reinterprets Britain’s past through the venerable telephone booth. An iconic symbol the world over, the simple red
telephone booth here is deconstructed and juxtaposed in four separate but interrelated photographs. As a symbol the telephone booth is dying out now
that everyone has a mobile phone but it is a powerful cultural icon deserving of our attention. -

"Rock in the UK" - Great Britain is a place where innovation is born amidst institution, where tradition thrives alongside anarchic creativity. Punk music shares its roots with royalty, uniforms clash with chaos. This is a discord that Britain rocks. -

"On Holiday"- What would happen if Boudica took a day off of fighting a bloody and violent war with the Romans? What would Godiva have done had she not decided to ride naked through town to appease her husband’s subjects? If they were given one day to come back and spend however they wished, I like to think they would have packed up and gone on holiday in Brighton. -

Olesya.I
The fictional landscapes inspired by places of travels – power the meaning behind my painting series “Golden Bird Landscapes” .
Inspired by elements of nature. Filled with feather shapes, or small flowers covered with glossy golden paint, layered with transparency of think glossy acrylics.
I wish for the imagery to come to live for the viewer, and capture a fragment of beauty in blooming flowers for example.
Fascination with primary colors results in daring vibrancy and exuding energy. The symbolic shapes and free-floating colors, – playfully demonstrate abstract expression in the series of golden landscape painting. -

Katana Barnett
Whereas the modern impressionists explored the effects of diffuse light, a significant branch of Katana's paint-work may be considered an impressionism of shadows. By utilizing low-light and images from her own personal phobias, Katana captures a sense of foreboding mystery and tension. Frequenty employing subject isolation and magnification, she uses colour phases to evoke three-dimensionality, while off-setting her subjects from their occasionally abstract environments with strong contrasts. Her work covers a traditional range of subjects from self-portraiture to landscape to still life, but treats each of these subjects with her distinctly ominous, contemplative style. -

As an artist I’m mostly inspired by popular culture specially that of my teen years the 1980’s. -

Jessica Gonacha
Painting exists as a gateway for me, into an ever deepening realization that life is not to be taken too seriously. My work hinges on my personal belief that this is our only chance to do what we truly enjoy. In accordance with that theme, I delight in combining elements of conventional painting with the use of materials often drawn from my childhood that inspire and engage me, including for example, glitter, sequins, and origami paper. New relationships between colors, forms, textures, and ideas surface; these discoveries are the lifeblood and heart of my paintings. -

Connie Noyes
This work is comprised of a series of random interactions and gestures with no preconceived idea of what should exist on the canvas. Like trying to understand the subtle movements that create ripples in a lake, shifting sand or fierce thunderstorms I am interested in the implied movement inherent in the work on an unconscious level- the movement as filtered through the process of life experiences. -

Julian Goldstein
I Shot NY is my take on New York street photography as well as my travels across the globe. The photographs have a dynamic range that stretch from the streets to the personal interactions we have on and off of them. As a true New Yorker I feel no reason to set up props or unrealistic scenarios, I shoot in the moment and capture sites that would normally go unseen. Because ones eye can be finicky in determining what they feel is unique or pleasing, my intent is to try and appeal to everyone. -

Christopher McManus
Three thousand years ago, climate collapse, global epidemics, and countless civil wars led to the end of human civilization on Earth. Scientists tried to prevent The Apocalypse, but there was only one solution: intergalactic space travel. Surprisingly, their ability to travel to distant planets did not rely on faster space engines or tricky physics. Deep space hibernation and obesity allowed them to reach our world. Once-fat-astronauts woke up slim from the Thousand Year Sleep with dreams for New Earth still fresh. These are the traditional ceremonial masks used to tell the story of the humans, their arrival, and the war. -

Susan Vecsey
Susan Vecsey is a painter and photographer who often works in abstract styles. Recent paintings of abstracted imaginary landscapes explore low horizons that are peaceful and still, big skies, and the shape of rolling hills, clouds, and winding rivers. -
Dawn Dudek
My work is titled Filmscapes and is based on deconstructed film stills that evoke personal memories.

I want to meet everyone and take their portrait. I want to photograph the landfill and the kittens in your closet. I am interested in all facets of image making. I believe in democratic photography in the sense that all things are capable of being the subject of a beautiful image if the artist has the notion to share this vision. I enjoy documenting my surroundings constantly for this reason. I enjoy creating scenes from the imagery in my mind to balance the observed with the conceived. As I photograph I am constantly learning to see again. -

He received his Bachelor of Art in English and Studio Art at Willamette University in 1994 and moved to Brooklyn to pursue painting. His third one person exhibition in four years, at 31GRAND, New York, depicted girls poised precariously near turbulent water and various medicinal products put to queasy, off-label uses.

Kenneth E. Parris III
In my work, I explore inter-personal relationships and the effect of an individual's actions on the surrounding human landscape. I am an observer, a listener, a story collector, seeking out the details in the patterns and cycles of our lives. The Direct Action Art Project featured here, is work that disrupts its audience forcing a shift in thought and perspective, causing a new series of events to unfold. These original mixed media and silkscreen collages will replace ads on the F-train. A kind of removable graphitti, the viewer will find the works placement unexpected and even slightly invasive. Ultimately commuters are the "judges" of the work, as they can remove them to destroy them, keep them for themselves, or allow other's to enjoy them. Direct Action Art is a catalyst for thought and action. -

Antony Hare
My work is an attempt to marry the classical with the digital. I do not think much of artistic process. Instead I like to let the work speak for itself whenever possible. My role is visual communicator and my motivation is the pursuit of excellence.
