RIP TONY FEHER

The sculptor Tony Feher passed away on June, 24 2015. His work was subtle, but straight-forward. 

Feher was born in Albuquerque. He grew up in a military family and had an itinerant childhood, with stints in Corpus Christi, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and Florida. He received his BA in 1978 from the University of Texas in Austin. 

“He collects and arranges his colorful foundlings with custodial precision—a kinky rigor that restores the dignity of those who overly cathect to household flotsam. Feher’s patterns reassure; he seems a model-maker, constructing maquettes of villages and bundled communities that imagine utopia by seceding from usefulness into gridded whimsy.”

ZEMER PELED

Peled was born and raised in a Kibbutz in the northern part of Israel.  After completing a BA (Hons) at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem she graduated with an MA (Hons) from the Royal College of Art. In recent years her work has been featured nationally and internationally in museums and galleries including Sotheby’s and Saatchi Gallery-London, Eretz Israel Museum-Tel Aviv and the Orangerie du Senate, Paris among others.

Zemer Peled’s work examines the beauty and brutality of the natural world.  Her sculptural language is formed by her surrounding landscapes and nature, engaging with themes of nature and memories, identity and place. Her works are formed of thousand of ceramic shards constructed into large-scale/small-scale sculptures and installations.

KELLYANN BURNS

Kellyann Burns is an American Abstract Artist who focuses on process and color. Her work encourages an intimate perceptual experience with the viewer, evoking a personal recollection of once inhabited structures, suggesting elements of architecture and forms that expose the beauty of erosion - how attrition and regeneration in the natural and man-made world evokes both the reductive and the expressive.

Kellyann's work is held in many public and private collections. She has exhibited throughout the United States and abroad.

She lives and works in Los Angeles, CA and Brooklyn, NY.

Deltiologies

The work is collaged from scans of early twentieth century photochroms. I am interested in the conventions that constitute landscape photography, both then and now. These conventions are so natural or normal as to be invisible: the fixed/static viewpoint; a distant perspective on an expanding view; the proportioned arrangement of foreground, middle ground and background; the picturesque exclusion of agriculture and industry; ‘nature’ as pristine and untouched.  These visual practices helped popularize an idealized version of Alpine landscapes to people all over Europe and America at the turn of the century.

CALVIN ROSS CARL

Calvin Ross Carl’s paintings and objects are exercises in balancing the humble realities of the American home and work environment with the utopian ideals of geometry and design. His process alludes to the digital and mass marketed with a methodical and exacting process. However, closer inspection brings levity to the design with the artist’s hand being very evident in the making.

The words and images in his work concurrently read as provocations, ambiguous slogans, and as disillusioned statements about one’s self and the surrounding world. This creates confusion between one’s blind optimism for an ideal future and one’s willingness to succumb to the idea that this may be as good as it gets.

Calvin Ross Carl is an artist and co-director of Carl & Sloan Contemporary in Portland, OR. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Intermedia in 2008 from Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA). Carl has recently exhibited at LVL3 Gallery in Chicago, IL, Ditch Projects in Springfield, OR, Lawndale Art Center in Houston, TX, NEPO House in Seattle, WA and Clark College Archer Gallery in Vancouver, WA. He has also exhibited in Portland, OR at HQHQ, Half/Dozen Gallery, Gallery Homeland, New American Art Union, Blackfish Gallery, and Tractor Gallery.

HOLLIS HEICHEMER

The colors of my paintings are drawn from my relationship with the outside world which I then connect to a bigger picture, to a series of reactions—responses that begin once the colors are on the canvas. I am drawn to painting dark colors in order to go into a deep space, colors I can look into and want to look into because they invite me with hints of finding something in the darkness. My paintings are the experience of this unknown space.

ZSOLT HLINKA

“Fascinated by the urban mood and evening lights. But landscapes with strange mood also seize me by the eye and thoughts. I am looking for geometry and symmetry obsessively in each composition. When I take a photo, I exclude all other circumstances and focus only on the picture to be prepared. I collect moments.”
