Below is more information on the artists whose work will be shown.
Juliette Conroy's images of nature deal with the subjective relationship of the artist to her childhood environment and how that translates into finding the same safe place as an adult. Through selective focus, blurred images and cropping, the camera is used not to faithfully record the subject, but rather to create a distortion, an organic wave of shape and color, resulting in an image that is as much about feeling as seeing. The intensity of the colors evoke the super-saturated intensity of childhood, while the blur of the images mirrors how we choose to view the snippets which become lodged in our memories.
Kimberly Dawn, a New York artist, creates richly textured abstract oil paintings. Her palette ranges from lush earth tones to bold, multi-layered primary hues. She is most concerned with the emotive properties of color.
Michael Fabian's map paintings straddle a middle ground between cartographic location and representational imagery. By inserting mass media news, political and historical events into landforms, he offers additional layers of narrative meaning. Highway street patterns, aerodynamic charts and subway grids are just a few of the visual aids he employs.
Keira Kotler is a Bay Area photo artist and painter who creates reductive panels of light and color. Aimed at evoking internal sensation, her work distills every day occurrences into sensory experiences, amplifying moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Luminous fields of subtle light shifts, the works are not manipulated or digitally enhanced; each is a meditation, an illumination, and an exploration of time and perception. Keira received her MFA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute and lives in Mill Valley, CA.
Through the influence of both eastern and western cultures, philosophies, and practices, Ted Lincoln creates paintings that explore the transitory nature of landscape. Drawing from his background and experience in eastern culture he uses industrial materials such as steel, aluminum, acids, and automotive enamel to create landscapes that simultaneously feel strong and illusive. The austere nature of his materials are softened and rendered into expansive meditative spaces.
Madeline and Robert Longstreet have created art using antique as well as contemporary photo processes combining the philosophy of Bauhaus and Arts and Crafts. Architectural structure and pattern in plants and textiles are emphasized in hand crafted monochromatic imagery.
Tiffany Matula is a sculptor and mixed-media artist. She has an MFA in sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art and lives in Brooklyn. Her recent collage work employs Old Master imagery to satirize contemporary social and political events.
Stanley Philoche, a native of Haiti who now lives in Harlem, paints richly colored abstract paintings. Philoche's artwork has been referred to as a beautiful organization of chaos. His rich tactile surfaces are layered with chunky expressive brushwork. His current work in the "Untitled Series" focuses on utilizing a simple structure to create a sense of balance and symmetry with an intricate use of color.
Piero Spadaro examines symbols and rituals surrounding both life and death by unveiling the formal similarities and parallel symbolic meanings attributed to flowing waterways and tree branches. He has been choosing materials that evoke the interaction of the natural and unnatural to create engaging and calming surfaces attempting to find the natural cadence and fluidity of these interconnected forms. A native San Franciscan, Piero received his bachelor's degree with high honors in General Fine Arts with a minor in Art History from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD. He currently lives and works in San Francisco.
Miya Ando Stanoff is an artist who utilizes metal finishing techniques on steel panels to create quiet, abstract, meditative environments. She was raised amongst sword smiths-turned Buddhist priests. Ultimately she is interested in the study of subtraction to the point of purity, simplicity and refinement.
Tad Wiley's paintings explore emotive space and physical space simultaneously. With a personal, iconic, vocabulary based in the organic as well as architectonic, Wiley creates situations of active visual pleasure. The formal constructs he creates are infused with a luminosity and tension, that is built through layers of vibrantly colored oil-based enamel on both wood or vellum surfaces.
