February 12 – March 23, 2014

“When I enter my studio, my work takes on some of the discipline that is engrained in me—however, there is a thought process, where I react rather than follow a strict system as means to an end. Often, the computer is a first step in my process. My material is the bi-products of our day-to-day technological culture: logos and identity, branding, advertising, status symbols, pixels, hardware and software, etc. I also consider the phenomena of how everything (people, products and imagery) is on display.”

Congratulations to artist Brian Stinemetz on a fantastic solo exhibition! We miss his work already!  If you didn’t make it to the show, see below.  There’s still one last weekend to see our group show of fellow + former  New York Art Residency & Studio Foundation (NARS)  artists Ronald Hall, Betty Hart and Erin Hudak.

Betty Hart

“I make work that falls somewhere between painting, photography, and alchemical tests. Through controlled accidents, I create visceral surfaces that speak to the gut and the emotions as much as the intellect. Using unpredictable materials and processes that are about destroying as much as making–dipping, soaking, and scraping–I set the stage for interaction. I allow compositions to evolve through time, gravity, and material interactions that are difficult to control.”

Ronald Hall

“In addition to creating images about my life experiences, I attempt to demonstrate through my art, my interpretation of historical and/or contemporary issues, with an emphasis on race and identity in America. I persist to demonstrate the injurious effects of visual representations and misrepresentations in society and how it effects peoples’ perception of one another in terms of race, physical appearance or social status. Movies, television, the media, or the internet can also be very influential when I create an image.”

“These pieces are from a range of series’ throughout several years. Thus, they are all inspired by very different things like perception, American history, power, rolls in society, environmental concerns, love. In general, however, I am very interested in various narratives of mans’ connection – or lack there of- with nature. When I paint, I work with vintage materials from a variety of sources. National Geographic magazines, New York Times, antiquated educational books, vintage comics, and my own photography serve as inspiration but also as actual material for the pieces.”
