More than a Fair-Weather Artist: Michael Holmes
No matter his subject, and with or without additions, Michael Holmes’ flair for texture combines with his bright palette to give his works pop.
Season of the Nerdbot: Angela and Nicholas Snyder
Nerdbots fly off to their new homes almost as soon as they’re assembled from found and donated objects — and with good reason. Each is loaded with good-humored charm, character and personality, and their small stature and big heads trigger an innate nurturing response.
A Collector of Moments: Chelsea Herzberg
Chelsea Herzberg’s photographs are infused with a palpable antihurry, a purposeful and determined halting of time at just the right instant.
Simple, Never Plain: Krystal Anton
Krystal Anton creates both geometric and representational works which reward multiple changes in a viewer’s perspective.
Dressed to Impress: Suze Ford
When Suze Ford created a series of paintings with classic party dresses as the dominant image, the statement was one of more than fashion.
Light Furnishings: Kale Van Leeuwen
The paintings in “Chairs” are, as with Van Leeuwen’s previous mixed-media pieces, uniformly slick, sleek and polished … the sort of thing Edward Hopper might have produced had he used furniture instead of faces as his props.
Round and Ripe: Allan Chow
The lush curves of skin and petal add yet another dimension to the visual flavor profile: a layer of sensuality that ties in perfectly with the seductive aspects of food-sharing.
Art is a Thing with Feathers: Anne Gagel
Art which engages the brain as well as the eyes and heart is always a good thing … and depending on your repertoire of allusions, Anne Gagel’s current show of paintings, drawings and mixed media works should keep the mind hopping. Or, perhaps, “flitting” is a better word, given Gagel’s penchant for depicting birds of all sorts of feathers — or, more accurately, depicting herself as all sorts of birds.
(ARTKC365) Penned-Up Expression: Jim Button
There’s a lot of detail in Button’s small pieces, meaning that he must be (a) an incredibly speedy creator or (b) an insomniac. Those are the only two possible explanations for having enough free time to execute them, given the multitude of hats Button wears.
(ARTKC365) Rough-Spun Charm and a Smooth Cup of Coffee: Maria Calderon
Calderon’s paintings hang freely, and unframed, with the attendant fabric ripples and loose threads at the edges. That adds not only depth, but a sense of unrefined, homely charm and affection. (“Unrefined” and “homely” are used here in the best possible sense. Think raw sugar, as opposed to the over-processed white stuff, and the comfort of one’s own family space.)
