Pinpoint Pointillism

.

.
.
Jon Kuzmich makes his minimalistic yet meaningful paintings by applying the paint with a needle, using mathematical and scientific systems. Visiting his Website is way more than just a fascinating visual treat. When you read his Artist Statement and take the time to think about it, the ramifications are enormous.

Directional Paintings

.

.
I have an affinity for the various works by Phillip Buntin. He's mostly about mark-making and several of his styles reminded me of some creative directions I had wanted to explore. This piece in particular caught my eye because of the circles with the writing.

Visit his Website to see more.

Painting Lines

.
.
.
.
It was a long road with interesting twists and turns that brought us to the place where artists can present the gallery-goer with paintings of lines. It all makes sense, of course, but artists from days of yore would be quite amazed.
.
Before you read any wall text about energy or connectivity, your mind has already started to pursue a reasoning for what John Bonick's paintings might be about. Even though the subject matter is minimal, they do get us to thinking.
.
You'll find more examples of his work at Andrea Schwartz Gallery.

Language Collage

.

.
Rhonda Wheatley is interested in written language; including the negative spaces within and between the words. Collaging, layering and painting produce these interesting hybrids. You'll want to visit her Website to see all the different styles and variations within her oeuvre.

Peripheral Hallucinations

.

.
.
Eric Blum uses differing combinations of ink, watercolor, beeswax, silk and resin to create his surreal and ethereal images that tease our memories for answers.
