WEST Committee Big Medium worked with a Review Committee to help select WEST participants. The three-member panel featured Jade Walker, Executive Director of Art Alliance Austin; Oliver Franklin, Director of the Elisabet Ney Museum; and Rebecca Gomez, Curator of Exhibitions and Programs at Mexic-Arte Museum. Guided by Big Medium’s criteria to provide a platform for a diverse group of Austin artists, the WEST Review Committee provided invaluable assistance in selecting this year’s participants.

John Le – Guest of Zoe Trautz
Acrylic on found materials My goal is to focus on our societal interaction with the overstimulus of media and technology. By recreating what I automatically think and see as a result of my environment (free association painting), I want to discover how much of my subconscious affects my ego. In doing so I will discover how much media actually controls the human mind. Artist Studio 4612 Caswell Ave, Unit A – (512) 745-6256 jooohnle@yahoo.com Accessibility: 0

Martin Lewis – Remant Gathering – Scarff Gallery
Mixed media Art as an organic, creative process is what I strive for. When creating I attempt to produce simple meaningful pieces that stimulate insight into the works of the psyche. This may include ideas regarding current happenings i.e. political climate or more subconscious moments from the past present and future. I enjoy subtle symbolism and grotesque healing in what I create. Temporary Exhibition 4612 Depew Ave – (805) 708-6235 justusride@hotmail.com Accessibility: 2, 3, 5

Oil on canvas This series skirts the line between representation and abstraction with large, vibrant paintings of manipulated photos of aluminum foil. Through this strategic disengagement from tangible objects’ identities, I investigate the ways in which one can be led by a painting to follow it in a specific direction, and how viewers can be fooled about the true nature of an image.

Kelly Bruemmer – Art By Artwest – Austin Fine Art
Acrylic, mixed media on canvas A free-spirit, and an avant-garde contemporary artist, Kelly Bruemmer uses acrylic and other mixed mediums to create her abstractions. Self-taught, Kelly’s style is modern, bold and bright with geometric influence intermingled with flowing and dramatic tones, swirling layers and contrasting colors. Her creative process is explorative and visceral, and without embellished or complicated overstatements. She just likes to paint.

Mary Wendel – Geophyte – ZACH Theatre
Oil on canvas I create art to illustrate an in-between human emotion, a middle area between moving forward and moving from the past. I like my paintings to give me a feeling of calmness with a bit of discomfort. I wrap something around the character’s body or face like a security blanket. Then throw them, vulnerable, somewhere out of place in this world. Temporary Exhibition 1510 Toomey Rd, Topfer Pavillion mary.wendel@gmail.com – marywendel.com Accessibility: 1, 3, 4, 6

Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.

Amy Scofield – Freecology Recycled Wearables – Guest of Elizabeth Decker Recycled plastic, rubber, metal, glass, fabric Now I can no longer ignore the reality of it; my work is about Man’s relationship to our environment. I employ aesthetics and whimsy to engage people in conversation about conservation. Whether building a large outdoor installation or a bracelet, I try to use up leftovers, not discard them.

Latex, oil, cold wax, and encaustic on panel Intention and accident. Structure and disorder. Observation and action. The harmony of opposites. I love the art that nature creates. From time and exposure, the very soul of an element is revealed. My paintings strive to emulate this natural occurrence in an attempt to explore the relationship between nature and myself.
