Tumbling Waters- works by Jason Maybruck

October 1st- 31st

Jason Maybruck is one of the most prolific painters around today. In his work he ruminates on the throughlines of people, creatures, and elements that make up a life in the moment and how they are able to transcend time, how we today can connect with the past, how we can honor these vital threads of the eternal everyday. His considerations run deep, although he may work on the surface. His visual vocabulary also aims for layers and exciting depths of details, where nothing is without consideration. Maybruck is capable of keeping the viewer from getting too lost, while always joyfully engaged with each painting. Part of a more recent turn of focus, this series echoes the modern man’s ancestral ties to values and considerations common of Indigenous people of North America, in particular the Seneca Nation.

Animal House- works by Elizabeth Beecher

September 1st- 30th

Beecher’s world has been gloriously encircled by the quirkiness and humor found by way of fur and feathered animals. Her paintings reflect the embrace of joyfulness found in our backyard companions and the boost that a colorful world provides us. Clearly a whimsical, unique artist, she's inspired by the animals in her own life, as well as the those cherished in others'. Such attention is made on bringing them to new form by way of the mixed media process through bright and bold expressions. Beecher acknowledges her muses in having unique personalities worthy of sharing and persevering for us all, and that is further enhanced by her method of collaging pattern and materials.

Absurd Spectaculars

July 1st- August 31st

The artists in this wide embrace seek to manifest a one-of-a-kind fantastical world, percolating in metaphors by means of comingling artistic disciplines and subjects. These detractors of traditional norms and expectations wrote their own rules in an unapologetic way amidst a culture enamored with aesthetics. Because the roots of such visionaries is often steeped in the underground culture there is always a core of rebellion and being provocative shining thorough. The obscure messages are oft based on dreams and the unconscious, on renegade concepts and provocative symbolism. At times imagery can be poking fun at the conventional matters of any kind, using humor and sarcasm as its strongest device. Compositions are filled with abstract imagery and dreamy cartoon characters painted and drawn with impressive technical ability that candidly blurs the line between low and high art. We hope you will come join us in this journey of intrigue.

Feelings of Home- Hui-yi Kuo

June 1st- 30th

Hui-yi Kuo’s assists us in transporting to a pleasant and whimsical realm by way of her art work. By anthropomorphizing adorable bunnies amidst oversized flora and tranquil tea times it is impossible not to immediately feel lighthearted and happy-go-lucky. Gestures of serenity and affection often embody the imagery and concepts as Kuo taps into a portrayal of self through allegory and childhood memories. By way of skillful attention to detail in carving her wonderful and unique style of illustration ultimately demand notice and scrutiny. The choice of rice paper as the substrate not only acknowledges the tradition as a cultural practice, but more so adds to the diaphanous nature of imagery. Linocut printing is not so common place and when executed in such expertise and beauty then a spotlight must be shone on for all to see.

Memories- Dolores Poacelli

March 1st- 30th

Poacelli’s works of art have at their core a playful focus on the interactions of color, shape, texture, space, and tension. Melding the abstract, non- representative, and illustrations to achieve an enjoyable while contemplative device. The compositions navigate the relationship between these aspects in concurrence with one another to present such unique visual excursions. And yet the artist embraces spontaneity fully, sometimes developing a project from sudden new intentions after laborious preparations, even revisiting a piece for a new direction. Simplicity, instinct and indecision are as essential ingredients as the patterns and paints within these compositions. Texturally rich segments entwine with swatches of flat color fields, sometimes muted sometimes vibrant. The stillness of open space coexists with activated gestural lines and a harmony of emotions and concepts are achieved to deliver such depth to these contemporary compositions. The artist states her objective to choose a title that can emotionalize each piece, in order to connect the “individual to the universal whole.”

Paint Skins- Erica Harney

February 1st- 28th

Harney wants to avoid the mundane by deconstructing the common scenery so routinely passing us by, then recreate an exciting version which grabs the viewer’s attention through a unique collage process. From gorgeous staged interiors to the vibrant outdoors the aim is to be transported and imagine oneself in a new setting. The meticulous attention to detail also demands appreciation from paintings that are then peeled and torn to the precise extraction of photographic prints, layered in a way to achieve tantalizing textures real or suggested. Each piece is cozy and charming in composition while breaking expected bounds.

Past Life- Jason Goldberg

January 1st- 30th

Peel back the veil and peak into the darker side of human conditions through Goldberg’s detailed and frenzied composites that are familiar while extremely approximate. The series of paintings confront both the sensual and the harmful, which shifts the viewer’s level of comfort by tantalizing the deeper core emotions, dreams, memories, and ideas. The artist embraces dichotomies both in subject and process, from attentions to rendering details to chance and expressiveness, from the alluring to the hideous. No doubt the haunting facial features will stay with you, rousing the searing disposition within, perfect for the harsh chill of dead winter.
