Rachel Doniger – Cut Paper Reliefs
Rachel Doniger’s paper reliefs investigate the graphic potential of paper. A simple process of cutting and folding thousands of similar shapes yields a field defined by moments of intensity and calm. As the viewer’s glance moves from one shape to the next, they see not only a crescendo from low to high, but also the…
Read MoreStephen Magsig at George Billis Gallery in NYC
The paintings for this exhibit are based from direct observation and from my photographic reference of the Cityscapes of New York. I work in oils on linen canvas and linen panels in the simple and direct Alla Prima method. Although my work is representational I am more interested in the “Story” of the scene and the…
Read MoreAndrea Pramuk at FW Gallery in Baton Rouge
I have always dealt with issues of fragility, weakness and decay, but as I look deeper, this work is becoming more about overcoming these challenges in terms of physical, psychological, environmental, social or in other words, the human condition from a feminine perspective. Going even further, these messages can be understood at a deeper level encompassing the…

Read MoreJune Stratton At Distinction Gallery
My paintings are imagined blends of beauty and nature. These paintings are often intentionally idealized representations of emotional impressions from my dreams – entwined with elements of the earth, sky and water that surround my real world. I use symbols and my feminine viewpoint to tell a very loose, abstracted narrative. As in my dreams,…

This series provides an extended look at the physical and psychological shifts that occur when negotiating the role of widower. My work chronicles one of the eldest members of my family, documenting the everyday while providing a critique on the quiet and isolating conditions of his current stage of life. I am primarily concerned with…
Read MoreTodd Stewart “Photographs from A Narrative Atlas of the Great Basin”
Landscapes are constructs. They are derived from the complex layering of a particular physical geography with the cultural, political, and other ideological concerns of those that inhabit them. Because they represent an accumulation of human activity over time, their meaning is contingent upon, and reflective of, both historical and contemporary values. A Narrative Atlas of…
Read MoreART AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE JEWISH GHETTO IN VENICE, ITALY BY RACHEL SINGEL
“The year 2016 marks the 500th year since the establishment of the Jewish, Ghetto in Venice, the first ghetto ever in existence. To honor the historical anniversary and the influence this uniquely urban space has had on the development of contemporary architecture, I worked on-site in Venice for two months to create a series of…
Read MoreCaroline Allison “Underground Again” at Zeitgeist Gallery in Nashville
“Underground Again” meditates on ways history underlines the present – be it social, political, ecological, or geological. Through a shared engagement with source materials derived from the landscape, the exhibition emerges and overlaps from the remains of social-philosophical models, earth-based systems, perceptions of time, and abandoned spaces of invention. Looking to these ideas, the interconnected…
Read MoreNoelle Mason “Incident Report”
Most skydiving photography uses wide-angle lenses and fast shutter speeds to freeze time and capture images with the highest possible clarity. In contrast, “Incident Report” uses a lens-less pin-hole camera which does not refract light but instead allows the image to imprint itself directly onto a piece of film over a period of three seconds…
