Below are a few artists we'd like to call your attention to this week. |
 Sara Sisun |
 Self Portrait in Copier |

 Paul Santoleri |
 Eakins House |
Paul holds a BFA from the Tyler school of Art in Philadelphia and an MFA University of Arizona in Tucson. In Paul's words "The work is a way to keep time, to maintain an awareness of my own relationship to my inner and outer world. I incorporate objects that I collect, images from dreams, flowers blooming and decaying in my backyard, stories and postindustrial waste, and anything else that slips out of my brush and through my line. The images are loosely in the tradition of landscape, and often mountainous and dense. I wish the works to feel and be organic, to have no beginning and no end, to reflect a repetitive action, like the act of painting itself. I often reflect on the beauty in decay in my drawings, and the landscape gives way to a deeper storyline that disturbs and intrigues me." |
 Robere Mertens |
 Tethered #1 |
Robere is a recent graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2008). From Robert's perspective "In my recent work I have been more self- aware of the public forum which art can take on. In past works I have focused on inserting craft based process oriented projects into a space to reveal the subtle nuances of a skill set. This would leave the audience room to make their own associations and metaphors for what I was performing in the space." |
 Christine Taylor |
 Fine Art |
Christine was born and raised in Seattle's art scene then chewed up and spit out to Chicago for a scholarship funded art education. She then moved to Milwaukee for a few years to brand and shoot a lifestyle publication and now resides in New York. She graduated in 2004 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Much of Christine's work "They are about human struggle within, and also within their environment. They suggest about conflict." |
 Grey Cross |
 Chez Nous |
Born and raised on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, Grey Cross lived much of his childhood on the coast of New England. Cross has written three novels, and has a fourth in progress. His first series, Shaddai Bloodline, was a self-published limited-run production, primarily distributed to a specific reader base. It averaged sales of approximately 5,000 copies. Majister Orleans, his newest series, is his first mainstream publication. In addition to his writing, Cross also expresses himself through photography. Cross has captured some stunning imagery in the course of his travels, including a photo-retrospective of the city of New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina which he is planning a future gallery showing. |
 Danny Malboeuf |

 Kenneth Brown |
 Interior Situations |
In Kenneth's own words "The human perception of the world has changed over the years. Viewing the world today has certainly changed in the way people view situations in their real life through a similar ways to how they view stories. Videogames, cinema, and television have become some of the main modes of story telling, they use flashing lights and quickly changing conditions that has replace subtle visual perception. The media creates stories where multiple experiences are achieved by rapidly creating only fragments of stories. These fragments are small pieces of one or different stories that have no beginning or a defiant end." |
Premium Spotlight | ||
 Andrew Meredith |
 Excursions |
In Andrew's own words..."The first photograph I remember taking was when I was 10 on a family trip to Venice. As my memories of the trip have faded and the original photograph lost years ago, the recollection of this first photograph that captured the stunning symmetrical Venetian architecture overlooking a canal is still fresh in my mind. This trip sparked my passion for photography, and by end of my time at school, I’d managed to adapt most of my art projects into photographic studies. I went on to study a BA in photography at Falmouth College of Art in Cornwall, gaining my degree and graduating in 2002, although I started shooting commercially in 2000 just a year into my studies. A move to London was inevitable after completing my degree, where I gained my first major editorial commission by Frame Magazine to shoot the new Selfridges store in Manchester. From then on my journey into photography has been a consistently interesting and challenging one." |
