George Blakely The Text/Image series was a project involving the deconstruction and reconfiguration of selective publications including encyclopedias, dictionaries, art history and photo history textbooks. The works are produced by surgically slicing the images in the order they were published in the books, minus the text, into massive two sided collages.

Vladimir Grigorovich This series of paintings presents individual metal industrial containers.

Stephen Taylor These paintings all depict a single oak tree painted over the course of three years. The artist considers the act of painting what one sees to be an attempt at painting perception. “You cannot make an oak tree, but an oak tree can help you make a picture of what it’s like to see one”.

John Thomas These paintings are sculptural at their core. The subject is a phenomenological event; light casting shadows, transparency and reflection. Representing all aspects of light without the hand of the painter impeding the viewers’ experience. In these works a single canvas seems to be geometric shapes arranged in a specific order.

Stan Wiederspan A series of paintings depicting ordinary cardboard boxes as if they were 17th century Dutch still life objects, these works are both mysterious and meditative. They glow with an amber light, and the absolutely utilitarian aspect of the source material is transformed into something almost mystically evocative.
