Dawn to Dusk: On display September 20th - October 20th
JOHN C. TRAYNOR & NED MARTIN
"A Song for Connemara" by John C. Traynor
"Unspoken" by Ned Martin
Two very different, very technical painters - John C. Traynor and Ned Martin find much of their inspiration in nature. Their color palette is similar, and there is a vibrancy and light in their paintings that feels almost ethereal. Both artists’ work are introspective and serene, and each of them show their deliberate brushstrokes.
STACY MILBURN & ANTONIA TYZPEEPLES
"Coastal Prominence II" by Stacy Milburn
"Elixir" by Antonia Tyz Peeples
Both of these artists work with reflective surfaces, but in different ways. Stacy Milburn's canvas is a mirror, which observes the viewer and demands their participation in the artwork. Antonia Tyz Peeple’s work showcases reflective and soothing water that is so realistic, it beckons the viewer to reach out and touch the linen canvas. By taking one step closer, and the viewer can imagine seeing their own reflection gazing right back at them.
ROGER MUDRE & DELADIER ALMEIDA
"Pulsatilla" by Roger Mudre
"Harmony and Invention" By Deladier Almeida
Much can be said about Roger Mudre and Deladier Almeida's work, such as the sweeping movement and gestural quality. There is a sense of calm, contrasted by an energetic feeling of new life blossoming; as well as a love for paint and the many ways it can be applied. Both artists have a great color sense and create beautiful subtleties in their work.
RONALD TINNEY & JULIA CONTACESSI
"Flight of Color" by Ronald Tinney
"Mystique" by Julia Contacessi
The realistic depiction of nautical imagery and the abstract, side-by-side, creates a visually stunning pair! Whether the viewer's taste is leans more towards representational or abstract work, these two artists form a happy medium when placed together.
JASON YOUNG & CHRISTINE AVERILL-GREEN
"Midas and His Honey, Matte" by Jason Young
"Ancient History" by Christine Averill-Green
Jason Young and Christine Averill-Green have a layering process that generates an unconventional finished piece. Glistening golds produce an iridescent layer that reflects light when viewed from various angles.
