Katherine Johnson  Inside / Outside

My intuitive painting arises from sources both inner and outer. Unconscious influences from past and present speak through spontaneous mark-making with suggestive forms. From the outside world come the
climate crisis and many world events, from joyful to heart wrenching, that influence my work through abstract images expressing deep reactive feeling. And then the place where it all comes together in a flow of life that shapes what there is to be and do and paint.

Nolan Tredway  Glitches and Ghosts

Glitches and Ghosts explores the cohabitation of AI and the idea that humans are more than a biological machine. Through AI generated art and projection mapping, the installation is a world where the pieces work together to form an ecosystem of the incorporeal and the artificial.

Kay D. Galvan   Mind’s Play

Our minds are a jumbled playground of ideas, labels, preferences and patterns. None of the contents are solid or lasting — we only think they are, so we use them as a way to organize our world.

As I play within my own mind, trying out new ideas and seeing how rigid or pliable mind might be on any given day, images pop up. When I get curious enough about what those might be, I paint them. They inevitably have something to say about what has built the world I experience.

Heather Hauptman   Penumbra

Much of this work was created during the pandemic when I was living in Buenos Aires ARG with my partner of many years. We did not survive the pandemic, as many other couples did not. Sequestered things were exposed to the light, and bleached into nothingness. These pieces reflect the betrayal of my partner, and the despair I felt at having discovered it. But there is also hope in these pieces. Hope that a path will reveal itself in due time, and I have only to listen to the gentle whispers of unseen things that are desperate to guide me along my way.

In this special exhibit, a group of EDGE member artists show work reflecting on the atrocities related to gun violence in our nation. A large group installation dedicated to the discourse around gun violence in United States school systems will occupy roughly half of the gallery. The remaining space will house individual works by contributing EDGE members broadly approaching the theme of gun violence.

We invite you to visit the gallery to see the work and to share your own thoughts and prayers about this important issue.

Large-scale paintings will dominate EDGE Gallery, providing an environment of beautiful colors and symbols derived from many sources including American shorthand, Chinese Chops and his own created language.

Mark Farrell   Infernal and Feral

My recent paintings continue to perfect my preferred themes: gothic landscapes with stormy weather and references to supernatural history and heavy metal, sometimes adding in political figures and statements. I’m a native of Littleton, CO, but after going to school in Illinois and Boston, I like to find ways to subvert images of my hometown. Of course, I’ve also expanded in many ways recently, deciding to make a painting of the Stanley Hotel in Estes after staying the night there. Another painting of mine, Tulpa, is about the theory that supernatural activity is created from human fear, and the painting Undertow has maritime themes. I think that many of my favorite painters, such as Cezanne, Soutine, or Auerbach are elastic in their subject matter, which is something I strive for.

Eric Havelock-Bailie    Abandoned II / More Small Paintings

My work is called Abandoned II / More Small Paintings. All of it dates from 2020 – 2022 and its impetus lies somewhere between the great “memory scribes” I’m fond of and the classic God’s Own Junkyard by Peter Blake. Abandonment can imply that the object or scene in view is imbued with memory and its variants, so this is where my photographs are trying to go. My small paintings are more personal, hence their abstract nature.

Rachel Amos    Covid Accumulations

This exhibit represents a digression, not an abandonment of interest in color or expressivity, possibly exorcising the demons that allow accumulations of things when I spend too much time alone. So, it’s not art at all, just therapy…. I hope there are things in the drawings related to your own demons and accumulations.  It was enjoyable to play with line thickness, building tone with hatching, and other aspects of ink drawing that I haven’t used for a very long time

Philip Rader  All About the Process

As an artist, my primary concern is to produce pieces that are unique and full of energy and movement. I feel the best way to achieve this is by painting non-objectively and by using an experimental process.

I equate the process of creating a piece of art to that of creating your individual life! To me, life equates to energy, change, and movement while death represents the opposite. Both art and life involve decisions made along the way until completion when an evaluation can be made.

The outcome of these decisions is not totally predictable. If the decision doesn`t result in the desired outcome, adaptations and changes are necessary. Balance can be achieved through constant changes of addition and subtraction. This process continues until it flows into a unified completion. In my art, I strive to continually make decisions with unknown outcomes.

I hope to elicit an emotional response to my paintings, inviting the viewer to investigate the composition more closely to see how all the elements flow to create the unified whole. I hope that by looking closely at these pieces, you will gain a greater understanding and appreciation of this style of art.
