Joseph Meloy (b. 1982, New York City) has coined the term Vandal Expressionism, to tag his personal post-graffiti spin on the abstract expressionism of the 40′s and 50′s. Incorporating some of the more primal elements of graffiti, Vandal Expressionism utilizes the same iconography of damage and intrusion as street art, but turns the calligraphic scribbles [...]
Artist Statement
These works are composed with handmade pigments-a ferromagnetic material which is colored and then cast on linen backed by a magnetic field. Each piece has a unique color play. The paintings have actual magnetic lines that run through the pigments before they are fixed. The resulting image is like a fossil of [...]
Artist Statement
I paint the things around us: fruits and vegetables, household items, toys, all the objects of everyday life. I also have a series on candies and their wrappers, focusing on their translucency and reflections. In all these paintings, my emphasis is on light, color, texture and atmosphere.
All paintings are available, except those [...]

Artist Statement
I make paintings, usually medium to large, with oil paint, and occasional other materials. Over time, I have developed a personal visual language that I use to communicate and to evoke. My paintings occupy the role of vessel for ideas and emotions: akin to keeping a diary. They are memorials to events [...]
Artist Statement
My love of birds and their gift of flight is a recurring theme in much of my work often used used as a metaphor (although I rarely paint them in flight.) for life. The subtlety of patterns in natural forms and the colors as they appear in the natural world interest me. [...]

Artist Statement
I construct mixed media paintings of defunct and desultory environments. They critique ‘progress’ as backwards thinking. I build a painting around pieces of photographs I have shot and cropped. I attempt to make order out of chaos by drawing and painting into the arrangements. This is [...]
Statement
My studio practice is based around the idea that process and experimentation instigate creation. The work is self-referential, in that I may make drawings, cut up the drawings and build sculptures, take apart the sculptures and create collages. Or I may collect scraps of past drawings, form sculptures, take photographs of the sculptures, [...]
Statement
The desire to capture space, time, emotion and experience cannot be fully realized on canvas. As a result my works are suggestive rather than representational.
Through my painting process I create a unique pictorial vocabulary— using color to impart a strong emotional charge.
The way in which the paintings are made varies considerably [...]

Statement
Whether printed on the page, manifest in continuously looped forms, or carefully arranged structures Lindsay Kolk quietly meditates on the repeated mark. At once familiar and consistent, these marks are intuitively and carefully manipulated, obscured, even destroyed; efforts that intrinsically assign value even to that which appears as a remnant.
