Barbara Gerard & Sam Muggeo

Rosemary Lyons Manu Scriptus Phrase Phase. These satirical works are still in the modality of the Middle Ages by virtue of their decorative borders and the use of Latin. The image central to the pieces are most emphatically modern.

Mary Murphy has an overwhelming urge to paint the many people she sees, whether they come from everyday life, fashion photography or erotic movies and books. From this plethora of culled images, she pieces together several collages and begins to draw. The creation of the painting becomes an emotional and psychological struggle to fuse these salacious images that contrast reality and distortion.

Diana Soorikian series of paintings is titled "Putti". Putti, the boy babies who appear endearingly in many sacred painting of the Renaissance and Baroque eras, were idealized in their beauty and innocence . Soorikian's babies are the antithesis of those rosy cherubim--they assert, demand and control. Crouching in feral anticipation, they hint of the men they might become . The scale of the paintings is larger than life, thus capturing the angst of expression and the tension of posture.

Ben Wohlberg is an abstract painter who experiments with organic forms and texture to capture a quality of infinite space and time. Within each of the canvases he is inspired by nature, translating the microcosmic light, colors and shapes of the natural environment into a more expansive abstract macrocosm. Each painting has a powerful quality of suspension in space and time.
