“This work is a story collection of coal miners. It is about loss, mourning, and memorial. It happened in my own village, an unknown place in China, but it is a story of everybody.”
Brooke Marcy explores mass consumerism of fast food in her paintings, focusing on giving them a pop art feel. Come check out these paintings at Hillyer Art Space through October 31st.

Sharon Koelblinger, “Perfection as Absolute” is on view now in our October exhibition, Perspective: A Fresh Look at Contemporary Painting and Drawing:
Her work explores “cyclical relationships between loss and desire, perfection and fallibility, repetition and rarity. Obsessive gestures underscore these relationships and represent a reverence for ritual through hand drawn lines and enigmatic imagery.”
Displaced
“The painting is is composed of five digitally merged self portraits that are painted as one. The abstracted version of himself is intended to illustrate the complexities of our personalities and the relationship between the individual and the experiences that shape us. We are in flux, forever changing from one experience to the next.”
