Andy Moses

Los Angeles artist, Andy Moses, son of Ed Moses, has been exhibiting his paintings since the late ’80s. In the last few years he has developed an abstract version of seascape painting indebted to the precedents of Finish Fetish. Andy Moses’s paintings are characterized by exceptional control of his pearlescent acrylic medium and its luminous effects. The curved shape of the concave custom-made canvas not only enhances the light bouncing off the reflective pigments but also gives the viewer the sense of being surrounded by the image as if one could walk into the deep space created by smooth horizontal stripes.

Gisela Colón

Colón’s paintings brim with this lustrous allure, and with the nostalgia that flavors it, particularly as rendered by a sensibility formed just outside the postwar bubble.

But in their reflective surfaces and vibrating shapes Colón’s paintings brim as well with a restless energy, a potential for entropy, metamorphosis, even cataclysm. If they reflect back to the postwar era that Colón never knew, they reflect forward to the post-digital age that Colón’s children will inhabit, an age not of limitless possibilities but urgent necessities and rapidly changing realities. Colón’s painting can at first seem decorative and self-contained; but it is fraught with pathos, and at the same time radiates hope. It summarizes Modernist abstraction even as it looks forward to a newer, humbler neo-Modernism. In its message as well as its material it is built to last.

Trudy Montgomery

Trudy’s approach to abstract painting is founded on an exploration of color and compositional harmony, drawing inspiration from natural open spaces and coastline experienced in her travels and in her native England and adopted home of California, where she has lived since 1999.Working primarily in oils and acrylics, Trudy paints with a bold use of color and the energy of gesture. Her paintings portray a vitality derived from putting her energy into the canvas while allowing the composition to evolve naturally.

Max Almy and

Terri Yarbrow

Max Almy is an award winning, internationally recognized and exhibited video and new media artist. She has experimented with video, film, computer and interactive media in works ranging from multi-media installations to single channel works for exhibition and broadcast. Her works are characterized by experimental narrative structure, compelling visuals and content that often critiques and satirizes contemporary life.

Teri Yarbrow’s artistic career began with two dimensional media including oil painting, collage and gaphics, exploring approaches to process painting and abstract structure. These early works were exhibited in one woman and groups shows at Barnsdale and galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. Her works were characterized by interest in dream, myth and transformative imagery. In 1982, she began experimental approaches to moving imagery using video, film and computers. She created numerous single channel video works and exhibited extensively in international festivals and exhibitions.

In the tradition of Dwayne Valentine and Craig Kaufman. Eric Johnson is a master sculptor in resin. Often using balsa wood frames as substructures, Eric creates floating objects whose sublime textures and form act as perfect vehicles for the contrasts of light and space.

Gregg Renfrow

Northern California based artist Gregg Renfrow uses minimal color to produce luminescent paintings on cast acrylic surfaces. Since his graduation from the San Francisco Art Institute in the mid 1970′s Renfrow has produced subtle light infused paintings. Renfrow creates his illusionistic pieces by pouring thin uninterrupted washes of color onto acrylic supports – allowing each thin layer to set without obvious manipulation. Each completed panel is hung slightly away from the wall allowing light to reflect off of and through the paintings. This precise use of materials results in paintings that appear to float on the wall capturing and encasing light and color.

Patti Parsons

Patti Parsons’s work, with paint and short video, explores the process of growth. Fixing the mistake, seeing what is there and not there, combining chance with systematic application, and learning/unlearning through repetition are all part of her investigation into how we evolve.
