Jeffery
Tyler Farinholt’s striking work, “Jeffrey”, is on view now! Tyler, originally from Westminster, Maryland, is “interested in exploring themes of loss, anxiety, isolation, and identity and uses a variety of materials to erase, sand, and dredge the portrait out from its background.”
“I am asking and I figured it out” Spencer Dormitzer
Spencer’s work is a combination of the image which he produces and the complex titles which he ascribes to the work: “I consider myself a broken story teller, using abstract and inanimate forms to ambiguously unite with a title” His piece will be on display here at Hillyer til the end of October!
Overlook and Transfer
Rita Elsner’s breathtaking and grand chalk pastel landscapes take on a surprisingly personal form. The texturized surface of “Overlook” is entirely made up of reclaimed paper bags and “Transfer” depicts an old subway token carving tracks into the snow. Come see both works in our current exhibition, on view until October 31!
Cara
Though Cushing has no formal training in art, his paintings explore the depth of space, and the interactions between a figure and the space it inhabits. “Cara” is a portrait of his sister who visited the artist at home over the winter last year. There is a tension between his familiarity with her, his knowledge of the space which she and he inhabit, and the idea of individual separation; no matter how close he is with her, there is always a fundamental distinction between him and her, which is exaggerated by the use of her as a painting subject.
Sean De is one of the featured artists in our latest exhibition, Perspective. In this work, De’s subject has the cosplay (costume play) features of Rei Ayanami, a fictional character from the Neon Genesis Evangelion manga and anime series.
