Below are a few artists we'd like to call your attention to this week. |
 Steven Quinn |
 Gaze |
Steven Quinn was born in Northern Ireland. He holds a BA and MFA. In his own words "I am primarily interested in the tedium of modern life, boredom and empty spaces and people." Steven's work has been exhibited at the Knitting Factory, Trampoline House (Seattle and New York), the National Portrait Gallery (London) and MOMA Glasgow, Scotland. |
 Teresa Puig |
Teresa Puig |

Her work is a metaphoric and poetic response to violence and injustice experienced globally. |

 Daniel John Gadd |
 New Paintings |
Daniell holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts and lives in New York City. In his own words "I use painting as a way of discovering and learning about myself in order to foster personal growth and maturity. I acknowledge the futility of language in expressing the very deepest emotions of the human experience, and the role art has in filling in the spaces. Through my art, I invoke the importance of relationships as a defining characteristic of man, being a social animal. I explore the effect relationships have in forming us as human beings, starting from the moment of birth until the moment we pass on. My paintings are a personal expression of myself and others I have directly affected as well as those whom have directly affected me." |
 Jake Sorrill |
 Photographs |
In Jack's own words "if only... is about beauty. if only... is about looking at objects in a new and interesting way. Growing up in small town Illinois, Jake Sorrill has learned to examine the everyday with a critical eye. As a senior at Routt Catholic High School, Jake has developed an extensive portfolio peppered with the things we see everyday - flowers, trees, animals - captured in a way that focuses on the object's beauty. Just as nature is beautiful, even the harshness of a cold urban street can have its own beauty." |
