Linda Brosterman
In her latest series, Waves: A Moment in Time, LG Brosterman explores the power and beauty of the ocean through the abstract forms created by waves as they crash. With each piece, she tries to capture the perfect randomness of the never ending, eternal, action of the ocean. Using 20-30 layers of paint, and the ironically precise placement of every color, splash and droplet, her abstract expressions remind us of the awe-inspiring, infinite, artistry of one of the great natural phenomenon. Each of LG’s paintings utilize a range of different techniques and mixed media, including watercolor, acrylic, and gouache. The finished work treats the viewer to a cohesive, unique, vision of the majesty of the subject. A millisecond of pure energy is preserved for all time.
Lowell Boyers
Lowel Boyers’s paintings are explorations of how multiple images can take shape and evolve on a surface. Each work is an amalgamation of forms—bodies, architecture, landscapes, and animals—that are not immediately recognizable or fully articulated. The themes are sometimes loosely autobiographical. In his own words, his paintings are “manufactured and manipulated chaos,” in which “nothing is accidental.” He also asserts that time does not exist in his paintings, because each image is a collage of moments. Boyers experiments with mixing the effects of various techniques, including applying paint though pouring and spilling, as well as with a brush. Boyers also paints with mixed mediums, including acrylic paint, ink, and resin watercolor.
Minako Iwamura
Minako’s current works on paper and wood panels are an exploration of geometric patterns, incorporating fractals in its pictorial structure and evoking elements in nature. She is interested in dualities - the coexistence of geometry and nature, singular and the collective, premeditated delineation and intuitive movements, parameters and chaos, to name a few. Through them, she portrays a particular state that hovers in a precarious spot of in-betweeness to evoke the untethered and openness.
