March 2016 KATHY KISSIK and DAVID FREDRIK

March 2016 The Elaine Fleck Gallery presents work by renowned American artist Kathy Kissik and introduces the work of David Fredrik.


KATHY KISSIK
Kathy Kissik is a Miami-based artist known for her fusion of contemporary and historical photography with found objects. Kissik earned her BFA degrees from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA and Tufts University where she was a fifth year Travelling Scholar recipient, then enrolled in a post-graduate program at the University of New South Wales.

Photography Based Mixed Media Collage by Kathy Kissik

Trained primarily in photography and welding, Kathy Kissik’s mixed media collages are often architectural. She photographs her subjects – with a traditional medium format camera and occasionally digitally – from slightly skewed perspectives, recording the shifting of light with the passage of time. Then Kissik builds out sculptural collages with contrasting textures and found objects for a multifaceted effect. Metals have an unspoken vocabulary in her practice that subtly transmit information to the viewer.

"My vision has always been to evoke how a place feels." -Kathy Kissik

DAVID FREDRIK

David Fredrik's mixed-media works blend chaos and harmony, all while expressing different “stories from the streets”.

David’s extensive world travels inspire his focus on global subcultures. His paintings aim to reflect the beautifully imperfect surroundings of urban city life. A focus on dense layers and coarse deconstruction form his signature pieces. His background in Advertising, Graphic Design, and Typography heavily influence his compositional approach.

In 2014, David was named an "Artist to Invest in Now" by Saatchi Art.

KATHY KISSIK

The New York City series

“The NYC artwork never sleeps. When the lights go down the paintings change. I have used light reflective tape to highlight composition and lead the viewer’s eyes on a tour throughout each artwork. The result is a completely different painting depending upon the light in which it is viewed, calling to mind ideas about perspective and what meaning it gives to content. Tall skyscrapers, helicopter views, graffiti, and broken surfaces combine much like the city itself.  These pieces are a study of the dynamic world we live in; pulsating, changing, and polarizing.”

KATHY KISSIK

Star series

“Stars at night have provided a source for contemplation and inspiration for millennia. It is our innate nature to seek a relationship to these distant lights that reflect down upon us to challenge our collective perceptions, experiences and beliefs and thus further strengthen our ties to our original source. The 13 stars I have created fold into pyramids and can be manipulated to bend into a multitude of positions. They can adapt to the space they are presented in highlighting that it is the limitless imagination that gives meaning and content to our existence.” – K.K.

KAREN COLANGELO

The inspiration for my paintings comes from the vibrant colours of nature. I represent these colours in layers. To apply the paint, I rarely use a paintbrush; I'm attracted to objects that I use in every day life. I use large sheets of plexiglass to apply the layers of paint to the canvas and as a result of this un-conventional method; the paint when dragged across the canvas evokes a spectrum of colour and movement. It is through this process of layering that these vibrant and whimsical worlds of abstraction are created. - K.C.

“In this century, it will be the city—not the state—that becomes the nexus of economic and political power. Already, the world’s most important cities generate their own wealth and shape national politics as much as the reverse.” Parag Khanna, When Cities Rule the World.

"Capital” is a large scale (36”x48”) photomontage series that re-imagines / re-constructs various global cities. By dissecting these cities through the physical cutting of photographs, the work explores emergent aspects of the nation in a time of increasing cultural hybridity and planetary interdependence. Michael Conway. 2013.

Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival 2013: Featuring Photography by Inger Whist and Jamie Day Fleck

 For the month of May, The Elaine Fleck Gallery is featuring photography collections by Inger Whist and Jamie Day Fleck as part of Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival.

Inger's work is based on a succession of photographs pieced together making up a panoramic still-point. The viewer revisits this still-point with a curved piece framed in plexiglas titled "The Wave" taken near Cape Town, South Africa. Her collection also features waterfront panoramic photographs taken in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Jamie's collection appropriately named "Night Portraits" is cinematically inspired scenes with people placed as lone characters in implied drama. Using the cities as stages, the environment, pools of light and neon lighting become almost a character itself through connotation and imposing a sense of place. The collection captures mundane moments in city settings highlighting the beauty yet isolation. "As the project progressed it became apparent this this was not just about the city but about urban living. It was about what it was like to live in a big, formidable city like New York: the beauty and isolation. While one can be surrounded by people, one can simultaneously feel alone."

Both collections are inspiring and unique. All work are for sale and will be exhibited until May 30th. Commission are also available upon request.
