Sunset Tattoo Strip

$525

Artist: Katie Minyard

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Size; 36" x 36" x 2"

About the Artist:

In my paintings and installations shiny, reflective materials allude to queer identity, sexuality, and fantasy. Enticement, yearning, and romance are portrayed in realistically painted images. As an artist, I tell a story of desire and self-actualization through a radically nurturing relationship to my body and my being. My aesthetic is inspired by my matriarchal lineage, kitsch expressions of love, stolen glances at Dad's hidden porno magazines and the representation of the sexualized female body in historical European figure painting.

I Wonder

$140

Artist: Valerie Dibble

Medium: Two color lithograph with hand stamping

Size: 14" x 11"

About the Artist:

I find the inspiration for my art in things close to home, or especially dear to me. Within each of our lives there are universal experiences, common yet set apart, ordinary while consummately extraordinary, mundane while sacred. These kinds of ordinary experiences that have such simplistic beauty make up the majority of my existence. The role of caregiver is central to my life and my art. This is the most important thing I do. My intent for my art is to visually examine my intellectual and emotional responses to the experience of being a homemaker, wife, mother and teacher-the server rather than the served. I also address formal issues that center around the play of light on forms. Through the manipulation of light I strive for an equilibrium between representation and abstraction. The relationship between light and shadow is the focus of this manipulation. The still life of ordinary household objects is often my choice for this expression. I choose to use still-life subjects with which I interact several times a day and therefore have the opportunity to observe throughout that daily cycle of light. Also by using everyday common objects as the subject of my work, I hope to bring awareness and honor to the role of caregiver. Caregiving is often unpaid labor that our society does not value. My work is an attempt to open the viewers' eyes to see the ordinary as extraordinary. My choice for medium is almost always something in the printmaking field, but I often incorporate other mediums as well such as the computer, photography or hand coloring.

Another very important area of my work has been with print organizations such as Southern Graphics Council international (SGCi), American Print Alliance, Atlanta Printmakers Studio and North American Hand Papermakers. These relationships have great benefit to our students.

Artist: SPOON

Medium: Acrylic paint on stretched canvas

Size: 36" x 48"

About the Artist:

"What is the minimal amount of information needed to perceive form?"

- "Can structure convey fluidity and movement?"

These were the original questions behind SPOON's graphic experimentation that ultimately led to the development of her uniquely recognizable style.
Removing content until the subject is unrecognizable, she slowly reintroduces data and color in search of the threshold where visual and mental perceptions are balanced.

What began as an idea she was testing for fun quickly turned into something distinctive that can now be seen at Fortune 500 Companies, sport stadiums, luxury hotels, museums and private residences around the world.

Every painting is composed and painted by hand, one dot at a time. In redacting a subject to the edge of recognition, she challenges viewers to recompose only the information that is absolutely necessary.

Distance, viewing angle, and even a camera lens changes the way SPOON's artwork resolves. As a result, everyone will experience it differently depending on their perspective, mentally and physically. This moving target of data assemblage constantly challenges her to rethink each painting in a new way.

Her background in Urban Design and study of Architecture + Engineering have undoubtedly shaped the way SPOON approached art and what led to her initial concept. She also maintains a sense of environmental and social responsibility. By using the techniques she learned as a LEED Green Professional (buying locally sourced, non-toxic materials) and donating a portion of the proceeds from every painting sale to charity, she tries to ensure that her success benefits the greater good.

Artist: Philip Carpenter

Medium: Color pencils on paper

Size; 20" x 12"

About the Artist:

Making color pencil drawings replaced painting for me fifteen years ago, but the processes are similar in that each drawing requires its own painterly invention to describe surfaces and to create effective illusions. My interests sometimes wander as I am lured away by the pleasures of irony: combining pop culture icons with facsimiles of traditional works of art, the prosaic and the precious. But I always return to making portraits of ordinary things, mostly utilitarian objects that come my way. They seem to find me. Some are even the vestiges of my former work as a painter. I meticulously record the beauty of their wear as my way of honoring their often unknowable histories. The drawings combine my knack for realism with my minimalist sensibilities.

Artist: Andrew Crawford

Medium: Forged & Fabricated Steel

Size: 12" x 12" x 4"

About the Artist:

Andrew Crawford was born in Chatham, New Jersey in 1970. He moved to Atlanta with his parents and two older brothers in 1971. Crawford's youthful artistic endeavors included works in clay, drawing, and music. Andrew's grandmother, recognizing his enthusiasm, encouraged him, along with his parents who allowed him to set up a workshop in his home.

Crawford attended the Rhode Island School of Design where he studied sculpture. After graduating in 1993, he returned to Atlanta and opened his workshop and studio, the Andrew T Crawford Ironworks. His goal was to create functional objects with an emphasis on blacksmithing. As Crawford built his business and his clientele, he continued to receive attention for his unique ornamental gates. This format has consistently been an identifiable trait throughout his career.

Along with dozens of private commissions, Crawford has created ironwork and sculpture for schools, businesses, and municipalities. Some of his most prominent works have been for the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Federal Reserve Bank, and the City of Washington D.C. His works are also among the collections of several American museums.

Crawford currently employs four full-time craftsmen who collaborate with him in making sculpture and functional objects of original design. He lives in a small in-town neighborhood with his two young children.

Medium: Mixed Media Encaustic

Size: 36" x 36"

About the Artist:

Chesney's work is heavily influenced by her years of travel to inspiring world cities such as Tokyo, Nairobi, Athens, Rome and Mexico City. Her work embodies a modern day connection to processes that have been practiced for thousands of years.

Encaustic, meaning "to burn in," was developed in the first century by the Egyptians, Romans and the Greeks. Chesney's pieces use organic beeswax, oil pastels developed by Picaso, and exquisite parchments collected from around the world. The parchments are made using techniques that have been handed down through the millennia.

The joy that comes from creating and sharing her art feeds her mental, physical, and emotional well-being to euphoric proportions. The historical quality of Chesney's medium connects her to her Italian heritage and connects her heart through the beauty of art.

"Art is a universal language that unites us both spiritually and historically. Encaustic literally lights my fire!"

Artist: Zavison Rolfes

medium: Plaster

Size: 30" x 60"

About the Artists:

"Melanie Rolfes and Michael Zavison are a collaborative duo whose individual artistic trajectories intersected at the Atlanta Midtown Festival of the Arts in 2010. Describing an almost immediate creative connection, Melanie and Michael realized that not only did their artistic interests line up, but that the work they each did individually could be stronger when paired together.

Michael's immersive abstractions met Melanie's color-infused European sensibilities. While she creates as a way to channel and direct energies and thoughts-making works that are both focal points as well as imaginary passages, he uses industrial materials to create archival works that transform spaces. In many ways what they both do is take the fleeting moments of beauty created by time (like the patina on old plaster walls, or the accumulated rust of decades) make it stable, deliberate, and manageable?which is to say: theirs is a process of creation, not neglect or decay.

To achieve long-lasting works that look as if time and nature have been at work, theirs is a process of marrying new technology to older knowledge and endless, inventive experimentation. When talking about how a new piece comes to life, they're both quick to say that there is no set way, "one of us says: 'hey?I have an idea,'" and the two are off and running. Delegating responsibilities and communication is the key to pulling off deceptively complex compositions whose success depends as much on materials expertise and timing, as color and design theory. "?the work is complex, a lot of things come together in a very short time?when we put everything together, some of the chemical reactions we are working with require more than one set of hands. So one of us takes the lead and the other acts as support-it's like cooking."

Trunk Table

$210

Artist: Mark Rixon Cerny

Medium: Wood, trunk, and glass top

Size:18" x 24"

About the Artist:

Mark Rixon Cerny was born in Upstate New York in 1969. At an early age, Mark showed a genuine interest in antiques. In first grade, he dug up old 19th century bottles and metal utensils with his brothers in his backyard woods. He loved his family's old leather bound books and set of three 18th century Windsor chairs. His early respect for history was evident through his interest in antique objects and the wondeful stories told on their behalf.

As a young man in the 1990's living in Atlanta, Georgia, Mark collected all types of antiques. His collection consisted mostly of antique trunks. The more of them he collected, the more he understood the impracticality of using them in today's world, especially given the shape is often dome top or camel back. Most often these precious trunks are discarded to the basements, attics, and garages of homes because people cannot place objects on top of them. Inspired by this problem, Mark began building his first trunk lid, wood and glass framed table tops in 2002.

Mark "recycles" antique trunks into functional, high-end furniture tables that open for storage. He custom builds trunk lid table top assemblies and leg assemblies for each trunk he turns into a table. Once attached to the trunk (now a table), these assemblies transform the trunk by giving it a nice, bold stance, as well as protecting it from top to bottom. As a table off the ground, the trunk also becomes easier to view and appreciate for generations to come.

Mark believes that the antique trunk, in 100% original condition, is the true art. His artistry is in maintaining the integrity and beauty of such by complimenting and respecting the trunk's "age-earned" patina, and not overwhelming it. His tables are subtle in design and finish, as they must blend into the colors and textures of the overall antique condition of the trunk. Getting this right, along with scale and proportion, flush and level surfaces and flowing legs, is challenging for him. However, this challenge is met by his fascinated determination and high attention to detail. Mark's endless goal is to showcase and preserve beautiful antique trunks the best way he knows how.....by turning them into tables!

Untitled

$375

Artist: A.T. Hall

Medium: Oil on Panel

Size: 20" x 20"

About the Artist:

Surrealist automatism is the practice of expressing the subconscious by allowing your hand to move randomly during the mark making process. This process uses chance and accidental mark making in order to free your hand from rational control so that the image produced is largely attributed to the impulses of the unconscious mind and acts as a revelation of an otherwise repressed psyche.

My work is an attempt to revisit the ideas and update the methods of surrealist automatism by applying the technical process of subtractive painting. I lay down thick layers of paint onto a variety of surfaces, then using q-tips, cotton balls, and palette knives, I wipe away paint to create hundreds (sometimes thousands) of lines that weave, curl, twist, braid, and connect to create an image while also leaving behind a tactile texture.

I am currently attempting to push the sensory experience even further through the use of color and the manipulation of texture. In some pieces I am able to add a variety of colors by laying down layers of different colors of paint so that each line created will be a different color depending on the amount of pressure I apply during the subtraction process. I have also created pieces that lack color altogether (ex. layering black paint onto a black surface or white paint onto a white surface) thus the image survives solely due to its texture.

My current work is not only a continued exploration of the nature of my medium but also an exploration into free association through intuitive rendering. In utilizing the methods of automatism and free association combined with various meditation practices executed before, during, and after each painting session, I am able to focus my physical energy solely on the automatic mark-making process while committing my mind to a state of deep introversion so that each piece acts as an emergence of creative energy from my unconscious mind. The result is a labyrinth of intricate lines that flow in and out of each other randomly but ultimately come together to form geometric shapes, which I feel represents the chaotic yet beautiful nature of the human psyche and our need to understand and make sense of our world and ourselves.

About the Artist:

What I do
Artist Statement

Morgan Boszilkov is a self-taught artist using clay, fabric, and paint to create two-dimensional and sculptural vibrant works of art. She has created an innovative form of fine art: ceramics sewn onto canvas.

Her work captures the beauty and richness of the natural world amidst our changing climate, reflecting her core values of conservation and sustainability. Her newest work of ceramics on canvas debuted in a nearly sold-out solo show at Gainey Hall in Serenbe.

Morgan sculpts clay into natural forms like flowers and leaves. She also makes ceramic "quilt" triangles, glazing each as if it were a miniature painting and integrates them into the sculptures. These triangles frame, flow through, emphasize, anchor and transition into the organic shapes. She then works intuitively to arrange, connect and harmonize the sculptural elements and textures with beading and embroidery on sustainable fabrics.

She experiments with the concept of wabi-sabi and beauty in imperfection, exploring various materials and always experimenting with new techniques. The process of art is an impatient meditation that brings her joy and fulfillment.

Artist: Tasanee Durrett aka VISORIES

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Canvas

Size: 24" x 36"

About the Artist:

I am a visual artist specializing in single-line drawing and painting. My work celebrates the strength and resilience of the Black woman. My process is a mixture of technical and artistic practices. I never lift my hand as I draw and paint, so each piece is made with one
unbroken line. It is common to see a grandmother, a dear friend, or even experience a snippet of a historical moment in my work. The women that populate my
work, while subject to societal stigmas and projected views, portray confidence, strength, and resilience. One of my pieces in particular, "Fruits of My Labor", provides women of color a strong mirror reflection of their confidence, power and beauty. The woman in this
piece has full lips, a wide "negro" nose, and small, but bright piercing eyes. She is proud of her features, wearing her gele, and holds her head high as she goes about her day. The Black woman is no longer the most neglected person anymore. I provide opportunities for women of color to reflect on their
strength and resilience and to be able to share their own stories and journeys. My work allows women of color to authentically be themselves and unapologetically love themselves and the challenges that they've been through.

His work tends to oscillate between the serene--striated colors in landscapes--to the expressive, as in many of his oil paintings.

After years in Paris, Secunda has maintained a studio in Scottsdale for the last decade--doing what he has done in all of the other places he has liv ed and worked in the last 50 years--creating imagery.

He has worked as a jazz musician--in Paris in the early days to support himself, and as a milkman; as an art critic, lecturer, curator, writer and publisher. Periodically, he consults at NASA where he is an image visualizer, helping translate scientific data into visual images. Highly respected as a teacher, he will spend August in Lacoste, France teaching a master class in collage and the creation of handmade artists books. (Secunda has an international following of people who subscribe and collect his dada art "books".)

Next year, he will have a one man exhibition at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, presenting a never before seen series of expressive portrait monotypes of noted art personalities, after which he will exhibit early Mexican woodcuts at McMasters University in Hamilton, Ontario, in a two man display with Indian artist Mansaram Panchal.

Her travels have taken her to Europe, Africa and multiple journeys out to the Western United States. The landscape and the environs of these places all became fodder for Durant's later work.

From her studio at the Goat Farm, she observed the goats outside her window. The goats inspired an extended series of works, which continue to this day. A trip to New Mexico in 2003 and a safari to Kenya in 2008 stirred her spirit and added much new material from which to draw. Her love for animals has been evident throughout her career. Her concern for the environment and its wildlife has deepened into a passion for conservation. Her love of wolves and concern for the struggles they now face as result of misconceptions and myth has moved her to produce an entire body of work on the subject in the last several years. .

Helen Durant has exhibited widely in the United States. In Atlanta she has shown her work for many years in some of the best venues in the city. Her work can be seen in many public, corporate, and private collections throughout the United States and abroad. A recent relocation in 2107 to Savannah, Ga. broadened her vision to include the history and architecture of Savannah as well as the spirits of the low country.

Artist: Kathy McCullen

Medium: Mixed media

Size: 20" x 20"

About the Artist:

Kathy McCullen is a mixed-media painter whose work approaches a wide range of subject matter from still life and landscapes to personal narratives. Her paintings are expressive with a strong use of color and materiality. Kathy marries the best of both worlds with her passion for figurative art and her skill in abstraction.

When asked about her process, Kathy says, " Inspiration and essence are as important to me as the end product. Movement, form, mood, light, space, line, and color capture my imagination, which make all my paintings intuitive, whether they are landscape, still life, portrait, or abstract. I work in a wide range of materials, ranging from oils, acrylic, and spray paint to graphite, oil pastels, and collage. This allows me to work expressively and without hesitation. As a self-taught painter, artistic growth is crucial for me and encourages me to push my boundaries and fuels my curious nature."

Artist: Alexandra Fotos

Medium: Acrylic

About the Artist:

Ever since I can remember what I liked and disliked, I knew with certainty I wanted to create. I wanted to make things with my two hands. So, away from the world, wrapped in solitude too sublimely satisfying, alone with my thoughts and the universe, the place where I was free to create was my happy place.

Today, my work is an amalgamation of the very essence of what represents me: stories that are part fables, part aphorisms told through popular culture references with a sprinkle of world history all entwined on paper with glue, acrylic, and watercolor paints, as well as the occasional 3D objects (like rice or gravel or whatever else).

Every single art piece tells a story, a puzzle planted with clues and hidden meaning that the viewers are invited to dive in and discover on their own terms. What drive these stories to be told is finding purpose in life which has been "the eternal gauntlet of the artist in every country, culture, and civilization since the human hunger for truth and beauty first collided with the craving for power." But also, my intent is to challenge perceptions, reveal a different side of the same coin, or simply entertain the viewer visually and intellectually.

I'm especially intrigued by obscure personalities in the world scene that have not gotten the exposure they potentially deserve. I want to bring them back to the light; I want them to be re-discovered, their stories told once more, and along the way, I am hoping a certain richness will be added to the observers' own existence and perhaps facilitate a self-discovery of sorts.

Most of the figures appearing in my art are world-famous personalities from science, politics, arts, sports, and entertainment. Still, you may also encounter less known yet equally brilliant human specimens such as Shirley Chisholm, Vivien Leigh, Benjamin Disraeli, Alekos Panagoulis, Oriana Fallaci, Jacqui Oatley, Konstantinos Kavafis, Marchesa Luisa Casati, Viktor Frankl, and Marlene Dietrich. All of them supreme global figures brought about political, cultural, and socioeconomic changes that forever shaped the reality we all today experience.

Artist: Lauren Auld

Medium: Acrylic Paint

Size: 24" x 48"

About the Artist:

Lauren is an Australian living in Atlanta. Her artistic focus in Australia was working on set designs and managing theatrical productions. One set design involved painting a large canvas over 15 feet long and 12 feet high. From this experience Lauren began to explore acrylic pouring.

Lauren began to paint and experiment with the different techniques involved in creating acrylic pours. The more she painted the more she discovered her love for color. The way color 'plays' together is part of the technique of fluid art paintings. We all know that red and blue makes purple. But what does purple, orange and magenta do together on a canvas?

The use of pouring medium allows the paints to flow across the canvas as Lauren manipulates the paint using a variety of tools from breath, gravity, high pressured air, paper towels and cups to name a few tools. A paint brush is not used. Each piece is unique.

She hopes you enjoy looking at her artwork. Anyone interested in specific sizes and colors for their home or office should contact Lauren at [email protected]

Artist: Kristina "Lizrd Sister" Walker

Medium: Watercolor, oil pastel, graphite, marker, chalk pastel, white charcoal, lipstick

Size: 16" x 11"

About the Artist:

Kristina "Lizrd Sister" Walker is a mixed media artist whose emotional work depicts the human condition. Using nontraditional materials, she depicts everything from biting social commentary to fun(ky) abstractions . Her work emphasizes strong color, rhythm, and mark-making, often depicting the human figure. The belief that everyone should be able to see themselves represented in media is a core value that she incorporates both by explicitly depicting different types of underrepresented people and using more universal symbols to represent the feelings of many.

Kristina loves music, dance, and fashion almost as much as her two dogs: Bunny and Tuna.

940

Although acrylic on panel is a frequent choice, Kristin utilizes a myriad of media in attempt to connect with her audience. And connect she does, transmitting raw emotion through subject matter and technique. Her talent is the product of a personal artistic journey that began early in life.
In 1999, Kristin accepted a grant from Georgia Perimeter College to study painting in Imatra, Finland. Guided by Russian and Finnish masters, she explored printmaking, painting, photography and independent studies. The experience has had a lasting effect. Heavily influenced by contemporary European artists, her work is imbued with both the spirit of her journey abroad and a connection with her Scandinavian heritage.

In 2002, she was accepted by the Atlanta College of Art and granted a portfolio scholarship. An original partner of the Woodruff Art Center, the school has been part of Atlanta's art community for almost a century. It was here that she expanded her understanding of color theory, art history, contemporary art practices and artistic discipline. Kristin made the most of this opportunity to hone her technical skills, receiving her BFA, magna cum laude, in 2004.

Kristin continues to build on her unique experiences and technical expertise, participating in numerous gallery shows and exhibits. She has participated in over 17 group shows and personally organized four solo exhibits and five group exhibits. Her work has appeared in galleries all over the Atlanta area, including a yearlong exhibit at the Chrysalis gallery. Her work can be found in private collections throughout the US; as well as in collections in Finland, Russia, Norway, Ireland and Vietnam.
