Stasis

woodcut

Website

 

 

Stasis refers to a state of equilibrium that is created by equal yet opposing forces. This work, which is a self-portrait of sorts, illustrates the energy exerted to maintain the equilibrium of two identities…one pulling me towards passion, the other pulling me away for the sake of normality, routine, and security. Both figures are a representation of self that are trapped in stagnation, which inevitably leads to the decay of both identities. Rather than becoming complacent with this state, I created print work that reflects on how to regain balance while in motion.

Neurodermatitis #5 was created as the conjoined efforts of Neurodermatitis #2 and #3. My work touches on the ever-changing relationships between the human body, the brain, and other members of humanity. Mirroring our architectural limitations in print to create a larger, organic piece that can also change shape is my way of gaining control over my life even if it is so small in comparison to the world around me.

P2P No. 136982

oil on canvas

Website

An artist who spent twenty-five years as a criminal defense lawyer, Glynn Cartledge’s work addresses the justice system, focusing on the reentry process of the formerly incarcerated.  No. 136982 is part of the series “P2P” (Prisoners to Paper dolls), which is an exploration of the public perception of the formerly incarcerated.  The series tackles punishment commentary, examining pejorative perceptions of felons while challenging the myths and stereotypes given those who have been released from incarceration. Glynn expands the conversation surrounding the residual restitution from the formerly incarcerated that is desired by the victims and the public

By challenging banal, preconceived notions of their worth, Glynn Cartledge presents the formerly incarcerated as if they were paper dolls in oil portraiture with accompanying, spirited, contemporary clothing.  Archival criminal and personal documents, family photographs, collaged jail cells, and recorded historical transcriptions provide context. No. 136982 is a portrait of Landon, an affable young man from a small town in Ohio, who pleaded guilty to a first offense of Breaking and Entering, a fifth-degree felony. The State of Ohio sent him to prison for two years.

I have always been intrigued by the varieties of human expression. Creating figurative paintings helps me observe closely, to move beyond first impressions. Lately I am focusing on movement to capture the spirit of the person of a particular scene. Ultimately, I want people to be uplifted by my art or to participate in it by creating their own story.

Untitled

oil on canvas

Like many growing up in Manhattan during the late 1970s and 1980s, my major art influences were street and subway art, which led me to seek out and learn more about more traditional art. My aesthetic is principally influenced by the vibrant (atomic) energy of Jackson Pollock and the more nuanced, grounded forms of Paul Cézanne. I approach my work as a blend of craft and inspiration, rooted in the belief that small amounts of disciplined daily practice are the greatest determinant for progress. Much of my inspiration today emerges from my own diligent, daily practice and my “#doarteveryday” campaign. As Picasso said, “inspiration exists; it has to find us working.”

This series is a result of the stress of my isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. I needed something tedious, colorful, and beautiful to work on…something fun and time-consuming to keep me busy, while still being creative with recycled material. This work was created from items in my recycling and trash bins…old CDs, Amazon packaging, aluminum cans, paper boxes, drink packaging, egg cartons, pasteboard, envelopes, junk mail, Styrofoam and other takeout containers, single use plastic, yogurt containers, candy wrappers, and more make up this mosaic.

Archival pigment print

In the South, it is in the center of our cities and towns that Blacks and Whites meet.

Pebbles is from my series entitled, “Blacks and Whites.” The images in this series portray glimpses of the modern Southern dynamic.  Predominantly monochromatic, but often with a hint of color, these photographs offer small windows into those places and spaces where we all come together.

In my poverty stricken days as a youth in the inner city of New York, I could not afford oil paint. Out of necessity, I created my own palette of colors using recycled paper material. I took different colored paper from magazines and posters and cut it all up into small pieces to create the palette for my “painting with paper.”

Morning Light

The light, movement in the sky and grasses, and the abstract shapes of the land draw me to our coastal marshes. They are calm and peaceful, yet so alive and constantly changing beneath the surface. This painting is about the reality of the place that lies beneath its surface. My hope is that it gives the viewer a sense of that essence and sparks memories of connecting with our amazing coastal environment.

Sun Surfing Chair

solid acrylic

The creation of my art chairs begins on paper. The design objective is to create a three dimensional chair using only two dimensional shapes. Once a design is perfected, the final refined shapes are drawn in Adobe Illustrator. The components are then laser cut from solid acrylic. Each individual segment is sanded, fitted, painted, and hand assembled.

While honoring the thousands of heroes interred at the US Cemetery at Omaha Beach, Normandy, this image presented itself. The use of a very short depth of field with a 300mm lens creates emphasis on one particular headstone, but also speaks to the perfection and the size of this very special place.

Fire and Desire

watercolor on Arches paper

Website

(Jie) Li’s work is deeply influenced by Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy theories on Zen and Daoism. The theme of my artwork is to discover human’s inner self and human salvation. Li explores love, hate, and desire in the depths of human nature by using figurative and abstract cross-expressions to discuss the meaning of life, the positive and negative aspects of human nature. Li uses natural occurrences and disasters as symbols, bringing out the emotions and atmosphere in the paintings. Fire & Desire is the power of life instinct; it’s like a fire, more like wildfire or volcano eruption. The fire of desire, which constantly arises, also continues to change with the environment expand. Fire and Desire describes and expresses that the fire of desire is a driving force of life, but it could be the source of destruction, too.

The Three Fading Graces

oil on canvas

Website

Jon MacGregor is a full time representational artist focusing on painting figures and landscapes as a form of emotional expression, using classical techniques with contemporary characteristics to fuse the past and present. As a child, he often searched for the nuances of all things, finding the intersections between fact and fiction and questioning constructs within art and art history. As the last of eight children within a military family, MacGregor travelled to Europe, taking in the architecture, classicalism, and traditions that are vital instruments of his work.  Learning to paint at the age of seventeen, he began to research the work of American Realists and grow an immense appreciation for meaningful art, capturing the beauty, the minute, and the melancholy of all things in life.

Black and Blue Luster Vessel

clay

The combination of glaze, fire, and clay merge with spontaneous results in this raku-fired vessel. The matte glaze contrasts with the smooth surface of the vessel in both texture and color, which results from the reduction process that occurs once the vessel is removed from the kiln at about 1500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Horsehair and Rhododendron Vessel

clay

Website

This piece was created with a low-fire technique, which does not vitrify (convert into glass or a glasslike substance, typically by exposure to heat) the clay. The subtle and organic trails of the horsehair are reflected in the curves and spontaneous growth of the rhododendron branch. Each branch is chosen to complement the vessel…sanded, stained, and attached to the final form.

Located in rural South Carolina, the Old Sheldon Church was built to completion in 1753 in the Greek Revival style. It was burned during the Revolutionary War, “rebuilt,“ then burned down again during the American Civil War. I had a deep feeling of peace while visiting these magical and beautiful ruins and hope to convey this feeling to viewers of this capture.

Coosa

glass tesserae mosaic

The red eyed Coosa bass is suited for an exterior installation where the fish can swim in the landscape. The implied movement is integral to the concept of this work. Fused glass creates subtle tones and the slumping effect facilitated adherence to the sculpted substrate. For Coosa, the “andamento” (flow or movement of tesserae, or the pieces, in a mosaic) technique was used to show visual flow and direction.

No Longer a Girl

It was a perfect day with the sun in the sky and the wind in your hair, you walked towards a better life, you walked and left everything behind except whatever you could carry inside a little girl’s mind, you walked towards a promise but your feet were aching so bad, when did your journey turn sour and make you so sad? The home you once knew was taken away, the dreams you once had are now nightmares in your head. They say hope is the hardest thing to kill; you are no longer a girl but an empty shell.

Wanna Scratch My Head?

watercolor, pen, ink

“Wanna Scratch My Head?” was inspired by two friends, their dogs, and a young boy who stopped to chat at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art’s Chalktoberfest in October 2019. While they visited, one of the dogs looked about and the second dog seemingly offered the young boy his head to scratch. I enjoy capturing ordinary moments like this that take place during public gatherings.

Cloud Vase – 1

ceramic

Website

My ceramic art is influenced by my life experiences and the shapes, forms, textures, and colors in my environment. I am drawn to both the visual and tangible qualities of clay and its interaction with others. It is through my hands that I manipulate and mold the clay into a form. In my “Cloud” series, I explore the response to light on the surface of the form. Pushing, pinching, and folding the clay, I create spiral channels which suggest movement through each change of light. This use of the surface’s finish invites the viewer not only to explore the form by eye, but also encourages touch—connecting the observer to the hand of the maker. However, the Museum asks that you please refrain from touching the artwork in this setting.

My work explores structure, time, and entropy as they relate to personal narrative.

Time, which we often consider as linear and meant to be spent, has morphed into passages of rest and activity, fullness and chaos.

Stories are Forgotten Dreams

hand built porcelain and mixed media

Website

This piece is a story within a story; both heroines are caught mid-action/mid-narrative. They are part of a developing journey reflecting the retelling of past narratives and the informing of new ones. The television represents not only their transmission and repetition but also our connection to one another through the basic human elements of sharing experience and understanding. The presented “theater” harnesses the suspension of disbelief, using paper waves and fabric sea to convey the turbulent waters. This story is staged, but nevertheless sincere. The skirt is hand sewn, embellished with flowers that are hand cut, formed, and sewn. Inside the skirt/stage curtains is a hand embroidered messages: “Stories are Forgotten Dreams” in French. Both figures are embellished with glass balls symbolizing the magical and temporary nature of our dreams.  The fan, covered in waxed and painted wallpaper and trim, hides an antique Victorian gem photo album.

The words that inspired this painting are written on the back of the canvas: “Dancing Light Ripples Through Clear Water Petals Sway Floating Free To Nature’s Rhythm.”

I am fascinated by water reflections. In this piece, I wanted to capture the movement of crystal clear water in a pool with my friend’s granddaughter. The refraction of light creates an interesting abstract look when viewed up close, but at a distance it looks more like realism. The cool colors of the water complement the person’s warm skin tones.
