This time and
space series is about the way we use time. This series is dedicated to my mom
who taught me that we can choose to use our time to be happy and fulfilled. I
used the compasses to represent the space we occupy, and that we choose the
direction we take in life. Ultimately time doesn't control us because we choose
how we spend our time. I illustrate this by changing the scale of the compasses
and making them much larger than the time pieces. - Jacqueline

My fascination with everyday street scenes reflects my hope and struggle to believe that the most beautiful moments in life are not always as expected. Perhaps these precious times are all at once – mundane and frenzied, fragile and strong, peaceful and painful, sunny and dark.
I work with acrylic paint and palette
knives. I find that the endlessness to the variety of mark I can make
with these tools challenges and fascinates me. I love the physicality and
range of the knife – aggressive slices, delicate dabs, focused scrapes and
thick bold swaths of colour. The paint is so flexible – I can spray,
splatter, blob and pour it. These qualities enable me to express a wide range
of emotion in each piece.
I am greatly influenced by the European
Impressionists. Their sensitive offerings physically and emotionally connect me
to their 19th century world. My application of paint does not result in
realistic representation. Rather, I am satisfied with a rough
familiarity and mood of subject. My goal is to present an intriguing
balance of roughness and tenderness; boldness and vulnerability, representation
and expression. - Cindy Dyson

Scott Kish paints "motion" in all its variable forms. The four paintings curated by Elaine Fleck for this exhibition are, large in scale 40 x 70 inches, life size forms of runway models painted with oils on aluminum providing the viewer immediate context turning a static artwork into stylized motion.
In early 2016, Scott received word that his motion paintings were the
inspiration behind New York fashion designer Vivienne Hu's Fall 2016
collection. After viewing the collection at the runway show at NYFW, he was
inspired to depict this collection in a series of paintings.
