  • Artist Spotlight: Q+A with Michael Bergt | 2023

    Artist Spotlight: Q+A with Michael Bergt | 2023

    Michael Bergt is an internationally recognized figurative artist known for his mastery of a variety of media, from his renowned egg tempera paintings and pencil drawings to bronze sculpture.  In his work, our collective human story is palpable in the vulnerability of each of his subjects.  Ambiguity is a central tenant in his process and allows for reflection on the paradoxes of the human condition.  Using diverse sources of visual cultures from the East to the West, Bergt’s work unites the two major themes of figurative art, the sensual and the spiritual into works of delicate mastery.
  • Artist Spotlight: Q + A with Lloyd Martin

    Artist Spotlight: Q + A with Lloyd Martin

    Lloyd Martin is an American artist known internationally for his rhythmically constructed abstract painting. In these paintings, each note holds its own, yet there is a velocity of linear, connective movement. Martin's work is characterized by a sensuous quality in the sometimes-brushy aggression of one vibrant color pushing against another. For the viewer, there is a visual pleasure in editing details of the work, allowing the eye to settle on a square here a rectangle there, imagining paintings within paintings. In exploring an architectural framework and structure, a sense of gravity provides weight to his flights of vibrant color. A pictorial truth radiates, where a strong engagement with the work of abstraction is palpable.

  • Artist Spotlight: Q + A with Beverly Kedzior

    Artist Spotlight: Q + A with Beverly Kedzior

    Beverly Kedzior is known for her organic shapes and richly layered abstractions. As a child she was enamored of animated movies and cartoons. She had books from those movies and traced and drew the images found in them continuously. In art school, variations of the organic forms she had been obsessed with as a child consistently appeared in her work. When she discovered a genetic disorder deep in her family history, she searched for answers in medical and DNA books. She found a correlation between the illustrations there and the bulbous images she was already using. Mining ideas from animated film, cartoons and medical textbooks, Kedzior creates pop paintings that merge these seemingly disparate elements.

  • Artist Spotlight: Q+A with Peter Stephens

    Artist Spotlight: Q+A with Peter Stephens

    Peter Stephens’ paintings translate scientific inspirations into a visual, multilayered landscape wherein layer after layer gradients of reality are enfolded onto one another. Deeply impacted by and inspired by physics and the natural world, Stephens explores color relationships and interactions within given parameters. Similar to numbers in equations, the quantities, sequences, repetitions, and rhythms all contribute to a rich optical blend of color combinations. A given set of colors results in an exponential number of different perceptions.

  • Artist Spotlight: Q+A with James Tyler

    Artist Spotlight: Q+A with James Tyler

    James Tyler’s Brickhead installations are unique colossal heads that invite us to identify with the world’s ceramic heritages.  They bring today’s faces together with pre-Columbian, South American, Native American, Asian, African, and Western influences; yet they are clearly contemporary, relics of a civilization not yet past…The ponderous weight of the brick constructions is juxtaposed with the ethereal nature of time.  At the same, the heads are stylized portraits of everyman and everywoman.  They are unique yet universal.  They are us.

  • Artist Spotlight: Q+A with Alberto Galvez

    Artist Spotlight: Q+A with Alberto Galvez

    Alberto Gálvez is a contemporary Spanish painter whose inspiration is derived from identifiable archetypal imagery found in classic history painting.  Gálvez is a leader among his generation of artists in Europe who have returned to the figurative tradition, where a precise delineation of figures and objects project onto the canvas with a complex narration and allegorical overtones.  The artist’s ability to displace familiar objects and reinvent them within an innovative and contemporized context compels the viewer to perceive a new reality.
  • Artist Spotlight: Q+A with John Tarahteeff

    Artist Spotlight: Q+A with John Tarahteeff

    John Tarahteeff is known for classically rendered compositions that challenge viewers' perceptions through plays of scale, unusual lighting, and the underlying psychological tension between innocence and knowledge. He pushes the boundaries of what is possible in figurative painting with a masterful use of acrylic on canvas. Tarahteeff creates set dramas that play out in deep undercurrents of the imagination. In his paintings, the moment is defined more by multiple potential meanings, suspended mid-action.
  • Artist Spotlight: Q+A with Emmett Culligan

    Artist Spotlight: Q+A with Emmett Culligan

    Emmett Culligan’s artistic concerns lie foremost within the manipulation of material and often reference common forms found in everyday life. He considers the act of “making” as primary to the universal human endeavor; finding comfort and purpose in this simple act. Beyond this intent and purpose, content is revealed through a process  of “intentional transference” as described by the artist.

  • Artist Spotlight: Q + A with Kevin Tolman

    Artist Spotlight: Q + A with Kevin Tolman

    In Tolman’s mixed-media paintings, the artist’s close observation of his immediate environment creates an almost synesthetic richness to his abstract compositions. The accumulation of texture, pattern, form, line, and saturated color passages all layer and counterpoint each other on his canvas, giving the work the feeling of being in conversation with the unfolding of the natural world.

    Joseph Ostraff's paintings evoke the varied shapes and motifs of human activity and geography.

His work is a visual documentation of the things that convert spaces into places.
