ARTORONOMY

a group exhibition : images of outer-space

May 6 – June 26, 2011

AG Gallery in Williamsburg is pleased to present a group exhibition, “Artronomy” by six emerging artists Karen Fitzgerald, Daniel A Oliva, Christina LC Markin, Paula Overbay, Daniel Healey, and Bede Murphy. The exhibition will evoke dramatic feelings of the outer space and universe, using various mediums to portray the cosmic world.

Karen Fitzgerald was born in Wisconsin, and her works has been widely exhibited in the United States. She works in multiple layers on a round panel, producing a deep, rich, luminous surface.

Daniel A Oliva is an artist living and working in Philadelphia. His works are often distant images, with the use of paintings and photography. He also explores maps, geology, and climate science for his works as well.

Christina LC Markin born in Canada in 1975, Markin immigrated to Australia in 2004, and currently works from her Brunswick studio. She wishes her paintings to be unexpected, rather than reproducing what is already there.

Paula Overbay is a New York artist who presents colorist-style abstract paintings. Overbay explores simplicity and symbolism, and her work is mostly consisted of dots and lines.

Daniel Healey is an artist and curator from Oakland, CA. Alongside his own he pursues a group work called “DealeyDawkMutlip”, which is a 3 person collaboration with Michael Cutlip and Darren Hawk. Both of his group work and individual work will be displayed in Artronomy.

Bede Murphy has been making an endless variety of drawings, paintings, photos and books since 1992. He lives and works in Brooklyn, and is the Creative Director of a gallery in DUMBO.

CLUSTER

a group exhibition: object and space

March 18 – May 1, 2011

by Alexis Duque

A group exhibition, “CLUSTER”, by emerging artists Alexis Duque, Peter Janssen and Martha Nilsson Edelheit.  The exhibition had shown various ways to portray the relationship between space and object.

Alexis Duque was born in Colombia 1971, he currently lives and works in New York.  His works rely on just a few colors. Notwithstanding the use of acrylic paint, he makes the influence of illustration apparent, equally attending to all of the aspects of the painted surface without leaving anything to chance.  He introduces clustered architectural features that are characteristic of the Western Civilization, from ancient Greece and Rome to the slums of emerging countries.

Peter Janssen was born in Amsterdam in 1951, is known for his high-concept ideas and presentations. Janssen sways between two and three dimension and visualizes order in a chaotic world. His work consists of mainly low-edition print and combinations of paper and canvas.

Martha Nilsson Edelheit was born in New York City. In 1993, she moved to Sweden and currently lives outside of Stockholm. Before her move to Sweden, the dominant theme in her work was the human element, but after her change in residence to the Swedish countryside, animal imagery became prevalent.
The animal as muse remains a continuous part of her work as Edelheit plays with image shape, size, scale, transparency, density and color vibrancy. She also plays with format by expressing her ideas through paintings, drawings, and sculptures.  With her current animal subject, sheep, Edelheit depicts groups of the animal through three-dimensional drawing,painting and metal wire.
