Beth Lipman
Presented by Heller Gallery
Media: Studio Art Glass
In her current work Beth Lipman presents an interpretation of the 'still life.' Each piece is a formal, three-dimensional recreation of a painting (or a detail) from centuries past. The subject matter, now seemingly benign, was in its day laden with Christian symbolism and still life paintings could be seen as veritable battlefields of good versus evil in one complete microcosm.
In re-contextualizing their symbolism for the America of the 21st century, Lipman renders the paintings material in glass or clay, preserving the original composition in the new object. Their heft and form become their essence. Their sheer beauty leads us to the very edge of luscious ripeness, richness and excess. By inference the artist reveals the decadence of opulence and the stench of rot. Lipman draws on the "universality of our need for food and drink, our common knowledge of the fullness of a grape, the smooth skin of a pear, or the delicacy of a leaf," and finds it "is as relevant today as is was in the 17th century. Today, as four centuries ago, we are living in a time of affluence." The presence of these objects continues to symbolize the good fortunes of wealth and prosperity -- their abuse, the misfortunes of waste and decay. Lipman's work suggests that the line is transparently thin.
"American Master, Passages into Abstraction, 1958-1978"
by George Wardlaw
Presented by Courthouse Gallery
Media: Sculpture
Never confined by categories, Wardlaw explores medium, scale, form, and color on his quest for creative and spiritual resolution. From Christianity to Judaism, from rural Mississippi to New York City, from painting to sculpture, and back again, Wardlaw went on to prolifically produce series after series of profound artworks, including his signature apple paintings, totem sculptures, black line paintings, monumental sculptures based on Jewish theology, shaped paintings, shore paintings, and evocative abstracts based on the coast of Maine.
Lluis Barba
Presented by Besharat Gallery
Media: Photoshop
Lluís Barba reworks iconic artworks to comment on contemporary society, introducing modern characters into Hieronymus Bosch's or Pieter Bruegel's medieval scenes. His work leverages the language of artistic symbolism to critique both modern society and the art world, utilising society darlings and art world players such as Kate Moss, Brad Pitt and Jay Jopling. Barba thereby expresses his debt to History of Art while establishing distance through a strongly ironic stance. The artist is represented by Besharat Gallery from Atlanta, Georgia.
"Hypochondria" by Klari Reis
Presented by Cynthia Corbett Gallery
Media: Paint, Plastic - Epoxy Polymer, Wood, Aluminum
Klari Reis uses the creative process in both painting and science as metaphors for one another: for curiosity and exploring and documenting the natural and unnatural world with a sense of wonder and hope. She puts a positive and colourful spin on a somewhat controversial element of 21st century life — prescription drugs – and her work celebrates the amazing advances in biomedical and pharmaceutical science. Klari Reis' art work is a product of biological techniques, which provide context for the artworks and explore the increasingly fuzzy line between the technological and the natural. Reis continues to develop the process and the exploration in her newest installation works, Hypochondria. This extraordinary project comprises a series of petri dishes which are hand painted using reflective epoxy polymer to depict electron microscope images of viruses, viscera and pharmaceuticals reacting with the human body. Reis has produced various template configurations, including an amorphous, free flowing template and specially created for ArtPalmBeach 2012 with representation by Cynthia Corbett Gallery. She will create her largest installation to date of this incredible work.
MARCK
Presented by Licht Feld Gallery
Media: Video
MARCK succeeds in confronting us with the Ur-Angst. His interpretation elicits a range of emotions always outdone by the irresistible urge to watch just a little while longer. The power of MARCK's work is enhanced by his choice of materials – he transforms an ordinary appliance into a video sculpture. "Pandora's Box" with it's three dimensional appeal serves as the showpiece of this approach. The lady capturing the viewer's attention is MARCK's life partner – Sandra is a dancer, actress and Mom. MARCK has spent several years in Zurich, Switzerland working as a "handyman" and finding time to participate regularly in various art projects.
"Altered Vision" by Hans Kotter
Presented by De Buck Gallery
Media: Light
Kotter's work certainly references the minimalist neon sculpture of the 1960s and 1970s, yet his creations oscillate between technical perfection, naturalness, artificiality and painterly appearance, creating works of art that cannot be comfortably categorized. Kotter perpetually refracts, diffracts, and reflects the electrical light in the work and then both saturates and degrades the colors, creating infinitesimal possibilities of reacting to it as a means for peaceful and spiritual contemplation or, alternatively, tapping into an amped feeling of frenetic energy that the saturation of vivid color induces. De Buck Gallery represents, Kotter has expanded his oeuvre of "light boxes" and photographic work to include large-scale installations in public spaces. He also applies his technique to everyday objects fetishizing sports trophies, ping pong tables etc. The result is ever more interesting work, which transforms the banality of these objects and spaces into ironic cathedrals imbued with an otherworldly light and watery phosphorescence.
Kent Townsend
Presented by Jane Sauer Gallery
Media: Design
"Creating one of a kind, furniture represents a unique blending of the beauty, elegance, and materials of the natural world, and the Creative spirit of ones imagination. My inspiration comes from Nature, Asian Arts, and work of some of the great designers/ makers of the past. Like Jacques-Emile Ruhlman, and Edward Barnsley. My current work is influenced by the Art Deco style, I enjoy its refined form and technical nature. I enjoy the challenge of complex design. The uncertainty that goes along with this type of work and how completely involved I have to be. My goal is to create works that are enduring, Aesthetically pleasing, and made to the highest level of my ability."—Artist Statement, Kent Townsend
Stephen Knapp
Presented by Elaine Baker Gallery
Media: Light
Deriving inspiration from his studies of light, color, dimension, space and perception, artist Stephen Knapp has been creating art that interacts with and is transformed by light for over thirty years, leading up to his more recent focus on lightpaintings, a word Knapp coined to describe his light-based installations. Called the first new art medium of the twenty-first century, lightpaintings are created with light, treated glass and stainless steel mounts and exist at the intersection of abstract painting, sculpture and technology.
"A Geometry of Meaning" by Michael Taylor
Presented by Ruth Lawrence Fine Art
Media: Glass
The artist interpretes the hearts of the verbal subject matter, using a natural literary flare, into visual recognition. This is primarily done with the unique expression of his visual vocabulary through symbols, abstract form and color.
The primary material used in his current work is optical glass. Other mechanical processes are very much a part of the sculptural outcome. The work is developed through his expertise in drawings, minute wooden models, life sized models, photography and Photoshop. Finally the glass is cut, ground, polished and fused with other glasses and adhesives using a variety blended color pigments.
Jun Kaneko
Presented by Elaine Baker Gallery
Media: Sculpture
Originally a painting student, Kaneko discovered a passion for sculpture upon his arrival to California in the early 1960's, a time now defined as the Contemporary Ceramics Movement in America. Kaneko has taught at the nation's leading art schools including Scripps College and the Rhode Island School of Design. Kaneko's bronze and glass sculpture and two-dimensional works appear in numerous international exhibitions and as well as over 50 museum collections around the world. He has been honored with national, state and organization fellowships and an honorary doctorate from the Royal College of Art in London. He has realized almost 30 public art commissions and recently designed the set and costumes for a new production of Puccini's Madame Butterfly.
