Ken Peterson   Ceci n’est pas un Visage (This is not a Face)

In this current era of deep fakes and fake news I had an urge to randomly explore portraits of faces (fakes?). Some of these works have political undertones, and others are just weird. The visual arts have many faces. I like to include textural and decorative elements as well as providing the viewer with some entertainment aspects. Money management tip: forget NFT’s, invest in RFT’s (Real Fucking Things)

Mala Setaram-Wolfe    Saraswati

This installation celebrates creative endeavors and personal growth of humans throughout history.

Christine Rose-Curry  Plastic Earth
Plastic Earth (Detail of Columbines), 4’x9’, plastic trash & acrylic paint on canvas, 2023

Plastic tubes of toothpaste, plastic bottles, plastic cups and lids, plastic straws, plastic wrapping and packaging, plastic tabs, plastic forks, plastic bags….Just a small list of items from the seemingly infinite number of plastic products we use everyday. Items that we might touch for mere seconds, just to be tossed out, and left to exist on the planet for centuries. If nature can not decompose plastic, and if humans can’t properly recycle the items, than how long will the earth sustain the millions of tons of plastic trash being dumped onto it every year?  I do not know the answer or the solution, but in an effort to minimize my own contribution to the waste, I started collecting and repurposing cast-off plastic products. Assembling these items into my artwork, I create colorful, textural paintings from our abundant plastic refuse.

Sara-Lou Klein    Tiptoeing Towards Acceptance

In my art, I transform some of my experiences into whimsical stories. From birds & owls to humans, these mixed media scenarios are created to lift the heart. Sometimes, though, my art takes on more serious undertones, such as dealing with the death of loved ones. In this body of work, I use the media of colored pencils, acrylic paint, acrylic pens, and collage material on wood panels and reclaimed wood to explore imaginary worlds as well as to experiment with these various materials.

My photos transferred to recycled wood and paper – found construction debris, cleared storm damaged tree slices, old work torn and reassembled. Painting, drawing, collage done over 2 years during the international moves towards authoritarianism and fascism. ecological disasters, war, misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, xenophobia – I hear the howling in the world and struggle to create images that tell stories of healing, surviving, and dreaming.

Geo Gio     Abraxas
Abraxas

This show is the culmination of ideas and visions that came to me beginning in the fall of 2019 which can only be crystallized here and now in the seven pieces for this exhibition. Abraxas comes from the Grand Archon of early Christian Heresy, Abraxas who is binding Good to Evil. I examine with paint and brush gnostic and ancient images of the divine as a way of personally and socially re-examining current psychological axioms. Using art as a scalpel to violently rip these long-forgotten ideas from the obscure, I work to re examine them on canvas.

Mark Farrell    Leave Scars
Boxcar Coven

My paintings in this show are comprised of works spanning the past two or three years, as well as work from last year.  In response to our recent show at Edge about gun violence, I am showing my painting “Fuck the NRA .” Another painting called “Boxcar Coven” was featured in New American Paintings. My recent paintings continue to lean into the supernatural and somewhat gothic spirit of “Boxcar Coven.”

In general , my work deals with things that are haunted. What haunts a place has nothing to do with religion, I think it has more to do with trauma. Most art is a coping mechanism that frames trauma in some way. I often populate my paintings with at least some kind of ghoul, and while I make them I ask myself “what is it to be haunted?”  I take many of my scenes from the Littleton suburbs where I grew up, and in the process of working I add what I’d like to see in those scenes. I do this to try to open the minds of some people to what could actually take place in the suburbs.

David Clark     Photoids
Tulip for Francis Bacon II

Photoids (photo-based mixed media pieces) and other images in this show employ the use of various methods and materials to explore the visual representation of ideas after my 23-year hiatus (1997-2020) from art making.  Although I had delved a bit into photography during this time, I did almost nothing with my home-turf disciplines of drawing, painting and printmaking. It feels good to be making images once again using all the image-making tools at my disposal as so much of what I do is determined by a process-oriented response to the materials I have at hand
