EDWARD HOLLAND The Scorpion (Version 15), 2019, acrylic, colored pencil and graphite on canvas with collage, 48 x 64 inches
Holland’s current series focuses on two themes: mythology and meaning-making. Using linear depictions of constellations in the modern Zodiac as the geometrical foundation of each piece, the constellation is a conceptual underpinning as well as an aesthetic device.

Alimanestianu’s biomorphic forms examine the invisible relationships between objects and their environment. She renders through color and shape subtle associations; connections are distilled into depictions of raw energy, manifested through the language of abstraction.
DAN RIZZIE Untitled (Green), 2019, acrylic and collage on canvas, 48 x 36 inches
