Lucy White
Concealed Weapons
Lucy White’s uniquely fashioned
Band-Aid paintings deftly tackle the iconography in everyday objects
– in part, by using everyday objects to create them. They are
poignant and provocative, yet are often so distilled that they
appear deceptively simple. In her work, common objects such as cell
phones and panties become iconic and traditionally iconic images
(flags, churches, peace symbols) are juxtaposed with an underlying
Band-Aid treatment. Even guns, integral objects to the history of
America, are interwoven and cross-pollinated to conjure images of
sexuality, violence and humor.
Lucy White has exhibited her work at
the DeCordova Museum, Rose Art Museum, Shore Institute of
Contemporary Art, Bernard Toale Gallery and Mario Diacono Gallery,
among others. White received her BFA from the Minneapolis College
of Art and Design.
Steven Bogart
Initial Conditions
Steven Bogart’s intricate oil and
enamel paintings invite the viewer to explore their miniscule
details and interweaving strands of color. Conglomerations of
tightly bound forms and swirling bands dance in the foreground of
blending color fields. By abstracting natural elements, Bogart
forms the catalyst for complex and unpredictable results to take
place. He uses his inspiration – low wave sounds, music,
electricity, cable transformers, the bifurcation of tree branches
and the spaces between them - to explore his fascination with the
formation and occurrence of random events.
Steven Bogart (born
Brooklyn, New York) was recently featured in
Big Bang! Abstract Painting for the
21st Century at The DeCordova Museum. Bogart received his BFA from
the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, his MA from Emerson
College and his MFA from the University of New Orleans.
Catlin Rockman
Among the Narcissi
Catlin Rockman's
work explores internal and external human detachment and discomfort
– and the states in which they coexist and co-mingle. Her recent
body of paintings explores in particular the notion of creating
one's own narrative about past eras and events in the face of
nonexistent memories due to time or repression. The work is
informed by the distance between isolated moments captured in
photographs from the past and the underlying
family dynamics
experienced on a continuum through time.
Catlin Rockman (born Paris,
France) has had solo exhibitions of her work at Green Street Gallery
and Clark Gallery, among others. Rockman holds an MFA from Tufts
University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.
