Julia Pavone, painter/mixed media artist, expresses her internal landscape through abstract forms, colors, and movement. She garnishes bits and pieces of the “real world” and infuses them into her paintings merging reality with non-reality. The patterns of music, words, nature, and human connections impact her sensibilities and are vocalized through her art, resonating loudly in richly textural, rhythmic surfaces.
Mark Dixon’s images are strongly influenced by the techniques and aesthetics of traditional photography. The subject matter is varied, but almost always concerned with documenting some aspect of the human condition. This is accomplished through candid portraits, images of juxtaposed or found objects, and landscapes in which human influence is a notable aspect.
PAMELA PIKE GORDINIER’S work is driven by questions and the experiences that form and inform us. These mixed media pieces selected from a larger body of work on identity examine a few ways that we identify ourselves. Ultimately, the work is to challenge the viewer to ask themselves, what first and foremost identifies who you are and why?
David Madacsi works in found object assemblage, site-specific environmental installation, and photography — particularly photography of light in the natural environment. A physics professor in a “previous life,” his art is variously inspired by light and place, time, and entropic effects.
Madacsi’s assemblage of found objects tends to be an exploratory process in which relationships among previously unrelated objects are discovered and are allowed to determine the direction and ultimate theme of the work. The theme often emerges late in the process and is then reflected in a carefully considered and crafted, often unexpected, title. This process results in found object assemblages that explore timeless and universal themes, at times with subtle and unexpected humor.
Bill Shockley is an artist who has never liked the sound of his own voice. Perhaps it was inevitable that a person who enjoys the telling of a good story such as he, would come to the usage of a language that is visual. His work is cast primarily in bronze, and occasionally in glass.
His commitment is such, that it involves him in both processes start to finish. His vocabulary of forms is informed by both the personal, and the humorous. His works are figurative and allegorical and often repeat themselves in new and unexpected ways.
His aim is to provide the viewer with an unprecedented experience through the use of familiar forms in new and unfamiliar contexts.
