EMERGING ARTISTS
Reception: Thurs. June 21, 5-8 pmEMERGING ARTISTS
Amy
Almeida, from Fairfield, CT, creates large-scale, powerful paintings
that often include light bulbs and chandeliers as subjects. “I use
specific objects, reflections, light and shadows symbolically by
painting them inside a particular reality that carries the expression of
each piece independently.”
Renee
Bascetta, of Waterbury, CT, creates small-scale works, often
watercolors. She explains, “As an illustrator, I love to tell stories
with images. My hope is to bring out the child inside the viewer. My
current works are regarding traditional American holidays.”
Christina
Ciacci, from Milford, CT, is a painter of compelling works. “I am
particularly interested in shape and color functioning as weight and
air. Finding the shapes through observed forms and the use of my own
intuitive sense of color, I seek to portray experiences or situations in
my life.”
Christopher
Donnelly lives in Guildford, CT. An inventive illustrator, he writes
of his work, “I see the world as an imaginable place where characters of
all types live to overcome difficulties. As a character designer, it
is my task to lend plausibility to the look and feel of a ‘toon, in
order for it to be believable.”
Tiffany
Johnson is from White Plains, NY, and paints in a strong range from
figurative to abstract forms. Some are bold portraits; others are
textural abstractions. “The self portrait compositions”, she writes,
“represent my use of color relationships and built up surfaces.”
Megan
Marden is from New Preston, CT. She works with intriguing set-ups,
some that include dinosaur toys. “I paint from direct observation.
While areas of my paintings are abstracted, they do not stray from
reality arbitrarily. I find myself drawn to surface and three
dimensional qualities in a work of art.”
Eunsoo
Park, of Trumbull, CT, is originally from South Korea. Her intensely
colored and patterned paintings are based in nature. “Beauty is found
almost anywhere in this world. By working with a larger scale, I will
both create an expansive image that draws the viewer in, and accentuate
the beauty of my subject.”
Angeli
Robinson, of New Rochelle, NY, describes her lyrical, abstract
paintings as “full of fresh colors and bold, expressive brushwork.
These elements come together in dynamic compositions that are full of
life and energy.”
Linda
Ann Rynkowski, of Darien, CT, is a landscape painter. “When engaged in
painting from observation, I seek to evoke the sense of atmospheric
phenomenon found in nature, creating a dialogue in which the subject
transcends the canvas, evoking a sense of deep, intimate space, the
perception of color as light.”
Jennifer
Wyzykowski lives in Harwinton, CT. Her illustrations are engaging.
She writes, “My work has evolved into being inspired by children and
what they feel. Children need to know that what they think is
important. I am creating a book with their thoughts and feelings in
mind.”
