HEATHER DRAYZEN
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? HD: I make small intimate paintings that sit between figuration and abstraction. I render descriptive elements with varying levels of information to summon a psychological energy. Each painting is a vignette within the larger narrative of […]
DANIEL FREAKER
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? DF: I studied graphics, film and photography at university and these have all had major influences on my painting. I would like the work to have a visceral impact on the viewer, where the colors and […]
JEFF OSTERGREN
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? JO: I make work about the intertwined histories of pharmaceuticals and color. My hyper-synthetic paintings, sculptures, drawings, and videos are infused with actual pharmaceuticals and chemicals. I appropriate imagery from art history and advertising to create […]
XINYI YANG
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? XY: I would describe my work as surrealist painting which combines both figuration and abstraction. My current body of work depicts minimal landscapes in which I seek to reflect my emotions, conscious and subconscious. I would summarize […]
LORNA ROBERTSON
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? LR: I would say I fall into the abstract and semi abstract category of oil painting. My most pure abstract work comes out when I am representing sound and rhythm visually in a painting, and for […]
DAVID OLESKI
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? DO: I have two bodies of work. Initially I painted large contemporary still-life paintings, so the category might be “representational impressionist still life oil paintings”, but in the past 7 years I have transitioned into a […]
ASHLEY LUSIETTO
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? AL: Lucid dreaming – my work develops through autobiography and magical realism. CH.89: Where do you draw your inspiration from? AL: Whatever things & feelings I fixate on. CH.89: Can you talk a little bit about […]
ALEX JONES
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? AJ: I guess I’m a painter as I primarily use paint, but the construction of the work feels much more sculptural. The works are less painted and more assembled. CH.89: Where do you draw your inspiration […]
ZANE PRATER
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? ZP: It has been described as ‘dark art nouveau,’ which I quite like. I have drawn much inspiration from the art nouveau movement over the years but also a lot from urban art movements, like graffiti, […]
GABRIELLA CARBONI
CH.89: If you were to categorize or describe the style of your artwork, what would it be and why? GC: My work could be categorized as abstraction (or more specifically: biomorphism). Biomorphic art and design focuses on shapes, forms, and patterns that are found in nature and animals. I currently work with drawing, painting, and […]
