About the Work
This piece is part of a large body of work called, "Imagined Landscapes" which reference aerial landscapes, volcanoes, craters, bodies of water and land-based forms inspired by places I have lived, visited or viewed from the window of an airplane. Some of my works are imaginary islands like inner landscapes of memory seen from above and others are emotional responses to specific events or historical paintings. They are all created with landscapes in mind.

About the Work
My practice involves the dialogue between order and chaos. The process is a constant experiment with the physical properties of paint (color, texture, sheen), moving between addition and subtraction, making and unmaking. It's a call and response conversation much like an improvisational jazz set.
Bio

About the Work
The sensation of color, the lushness of oil paints, the thrill of creating, and the surprise of abstraction are what drive me to paint--Add drama to the canvas, and I'm hooked! At the inception of my paintings, I select colors inspired by nature, random places, or other artists' paintings, whatever catches my eye, stirs my curiosity, or challenges me. I explore fluidity, in all its measures: organic form, undulating movement, saturated 'liquid' color, and stylized gestural marks. It's through this fluidity that I find color to be most expressive. Color relationships are very important to me, as are tonal variations. I place color next to color, with the goal of finding just the right combination so that each will make the other shine, or as in this series, "Pop!"
My hope is that my paintings' lushness, power and mood-altering color will affect the viewer on a visceral, not practical level. I want to excite the viewers' imagination so that they pay attention to, remember, and ultimately discover something new through color!
This series is called Color Pops.

About the Work
My current work investigates the dialogue between the wooden surfaces on which I paint and the trees from which those panels were built. I highlight the interconnectedness of humans and nature, while addressing life's impermanence and transience. The wood grain's undulations, which mark the tree's growth and annual water intake, record a tree's experiences and are a historical account of the landscape itself. In my paintings, I strive to conjure the landscape that no longer exists but is inherently contained in each panel while expressing the visual contrast and harmony where human-made structures and nature intersect.

About the Work
My art practice has grown out of a need to manage bouts of insomnia over many years, drawing to distract myself from the realities of sleeplessness. I am fascinated by curious geometries and shapes from the world I see around me, from objects, to architecture to letter form. I work to conflate their formal, spatial and figural qualities, tapping into the perceptions and memories of the viewer, creating something that is foreign, yet familiar.
Working with tools from my architectural training, I develop drawings in graphite, ink and paint as well as in digital form. Pieces are drawn in layers, subtracting and adding lines to clarify interesting qualities that begin to emerge, often reworking them over long periods of time. I see this work as adding to the collection of shapes/spaces that we unconsciously absorb, as we make sense of our every day world.

Meditations XVI
2020
Acrylic on canvas
18" x 18"
About the Work
My series titled Meditations was created during the COVID-19 quarantine. This body of work was intended to interpret that moment of the whole of humanity: the isolation, the loneliness, and at the same time, the connections that unite us as humans, all giving us hope. During the process and through daily meditation, an internal calmness has allowed me to focus on my creative process. It has also allowed me to revisit my roots and accept inspiration from Mother Earth's palette. While painting, I listen to The Buddha's Tears, Armenian music performed with its ancient traditional instrument, the duduk. It imparts a powerful connection and with it, the sounds of a collective lament inherent of the current situation.

About the Work
Paintings hover about, unattached to their referents. They differ, in time, reference, and ambience, from film and photography. They welcome their viewers through their visual impact and, like ghosts, haunt them through their visual omissions. They conjure an absence, which ferments attachments and invites future visitations.

Bio
Lyn Godley's work has crossed the borders of fine art, interiors, product, furniture, lighting, and jewelry. Godley opened her own studio in 1998 after fourteen years as a partner in the design team of Godley-Schwan. Of all her work, it is lighting which she has chosen to focus for the last twenty-five years. The investigation of new technology and materials in a robust dialogue with beauty - through form, imagery, and color - the duality of science and emotion, right and left brain together at the same time.
From chandeliers to full-scale illuminated evening gowns to interactive facades she has explored a wide range of light sources and effects. Detailed pixels of light embedded into drawings, to large scale public art installations, to miniature light models - she explores the many moods of lighting and its ability to calm or excite. Merging digital printing, drawing and painting, fiber optics, light reflecting films, and physical computing has led her explorations in light and color refraction. Her work has been chosen for public art projects and commissions that explore the intersection of Light and Art in public spaces, and is in numerous museum and private collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Percent for Art Public Art commission at SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia, or the permanent installation of 7,100 programmable LEDs at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts in Pennsylvania that continually "draws in light" across the center's façade.
In addition to her studio work, she is an Associate Professor of Industrial Design at Jefferson University, where she is developing curriculum and coordinating a Lighting Design concentration. Beginning in 2018, Godley is taking part in a three-year research project with universities in the UK, Denmark, Germany, and Russia to explore the impact of light on health, and to develop graduate level curriculum based on the findings.

About the Work
Marcelo Daldoce (b. 1979, Brazil) is a contemporary artist whose paintings address current personal, social, and environmental issues through ethereal, idealized landscapes.
Daldoce's work speaks to the many migrations he has taken throughout his life - both physical and cultural. His process is a personal journey of self-discovery and self-identification, of finding belonging in the unfamiliar, and drawing passion from his heritage. As Brazilian playwright Nelson Rodrigues identified, "Brazil is not a country, it is not a nation, it is not a people: it is a landscape."
Structuring his pieces within a storytelling narrative, Daldoce's meditative imagery explores subjects of loss: through migrations, power, and environmental disaster. Metaphors inspired by mythology, folktales, and stories are woven with forests, violence, and hubris. Believing in the power of allegory, Daldoce lets nature become his stage to tell these stories on: creating a sublime image that holds and espouses a hidden drama within it.
Bio
Marcelo Daldoce is a Brazilian artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. In 2016, he received his MFA from the New York Academy of Art, and has earned residencies at the Leipzig International Art Program in Germany and the Eric Fischl Residency in Maryland.

Daldoce was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant in 2017 and 2019. Daldoce currently teaches at the NY Academy of Art and Art Students League of NY.
