Michael Buscemi Hand Cut Rag Paper Collage, Framed Can be commissioned to size
The white collages came to me in a quest to eliminate all existing media; Leaving only light shape & shadow. I love the way they change dramatically with a different environment and or light source. The cutting of the extra thick paper is strenuous and requires a swift and fluid cut. This process is repeated thousands of times. I let the shadows cast determine where to build and layer. I love to make them undulate and allow the forms to remain organic yet suggestive. -Michael Buscemi
Doug Kennedy Mixed Media on Canvas Can be commissioned to size
“I use traditional methods of painting, oil, acrylic, pencils, sometimes collage, to capture moments of action that lead me to a place of visual harmony. I start with the canvas outside on the ground and work as I walk around it. I then stretch the canvas in my studio, then there is a long process of work and examination. The piece is complete when it reaches its own harmony.� -Doug Kennedy
Meredith Pardue Mixed Media on Canvas
“I combine the random actions of painting with controlled, deliberate mark-making to describe each form in my work, which often appears floral or plantlike in structure. The canvases are composed of organic forms that derive from those found in nature, but ultimately the paintings are a visual record of an unplanned dialogue between myself and a blank canvas.� -Meredith Pardue
Master Studio Workroom Mixed Media on Gessoed Paper Unframed
A special collection of original works from the studio of Mel Dewees. These works are a collaboration between professional artists of different backgrounds and mediums that use the works as warm up excercises for their individual work. The nature of the authorship is more obscure, and in result the pieces are presented more like drawings.
