Below are a few artists we'd like to call your attention to this week. |
 Luba Diduch |
 Lubochka4 |
Luba was born in Montreal, Canada and now lives and works in Calgary, Canada. In her words "I completed my BFA at Concordia University in Montreal. I am now working on my MFA, using mixed/new media as my medium. I create installations that immerse and involve the viewer through the use of digital photographic imagery, sculptural installation and soundscape. My work addresses the concept of the virtual, as well as our changing definitions regarding what constitutes a human being within a shifting technological world. I use post human metaphors of the human body in my work." |
 Mario Grubisic |
 Money |
Mario holds a diploma in mixed-art media from his studies at the Academy of Fine and Vienna and Berlin. His work has been featured in solo shows in Vienna and Ljubljana (Slovenia). His work has also been shown at group shows in Athens, Innsbruck and Bratislava. |
 Martinho Costa |
 Private Collection |
Martinho Costa studied Fine Art at the University of Lisbon, and completed his masters degree at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid. His work has been exhibited since 2003 in Portugal and in several group shows in Madrid. In 2007 he was selected for one of the principal painting prizes in Portugal: "Prémio Fidelidade Jovens Pintores" ("Fidelidade young painters prize") |
 Dana Miller |
 This is the Last Stop |
Dana Miller graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute with a BFA in Photography in 1996. In 2002 she moved to New York and received her MFA in Photography from Bard College in 2005. Dana had her first solo exhibition in New York at the Jen Bekman Gallery in November, 2004, and has been written about in the New York Times, the Village Voice, Leica Fotografie International, and Art in America. She is in the collection of VISA New York and is a recipient of the Camera Club of New York's Residency program for 2006-7. Her featured gallery is a series of work created by taking every subway in New York City to the last stop. |

 Recent Work 12/5/07 |
In Cable's own words "Painting has always been like a form of magic to me. The act of looking at and creating art was that of experiencing and creating another world. The history of painting has gone through many phases and movements, from illusion, to surface, to object. But more interesting, is that painting can be all three of those things at once. The conflict between the physical (surface and object) and the window (illusion) is a fascinating friction." |
