Steve Smith |
Dream Matter |
Steve Smith was born in 1961 in New Martinsville, West Virginia, where he lived until 2004 and then I relocated to California. In his own words "Art has always defined my life. It is not only what I do, but an integral part of who I am. As a teenager, I was strongly influenced by the Surrealists and their ideas regarding automatic expression and spontaneity in art." |

In her words...In my work so far, I have been developing the theme of the "female as object" using myself as the model in a series of paintings and drawings. I reflect modern realities so the viewer can recognise and possibly identify with the situation. The space the viewer occupies and their relationship to the subject in the painting is important, sometimes invited into the painting and other times stumbling upon the subject by accident. |

Ross Barber is an installation artist from Australia. He is also the Executive Director of Access Arts Inc. A curator statement nicely describes the work of Ross Barber: "Bodies looking at art, become bodies negotiating architectural space. Rather than expect particular bodies, he, Ross Barber politicizes such an expectation. Rather than ordering bodies, he creates disorder for them to negotiate. Rather than provide solid ground, he leads us to question who makes the ground on which we situate ourselves on, why and for whom." |

"Jack Chipman is a graduate of the Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal-Arts) in Los Angeles and has exhibited his abstract paintings, collages and witty assemblages throughout California and abroad. His rippings series began in San Francisco in the 1970s soon after graduation from art school. At that time artist friend Lynn Hershman, writing for Artweek, dubbed him "Jack the Ripper." Knute Stiles, in an Art in America review, wrote: "The rhythms and accidents, like the grain of wood (or the surge of the sea), are perhaps the magic factors—the intuitive aspects that give these pieces their commanding presence." At one point Jack seemed to have vanished from the scene, but one can only stay away from his or her work for so long..." |

"Janet Biggs is among a substantial group of artists who turned to video and video installation in the early 1990s. Trained in painting and sculpture she has exhibited since 1987. Biggs is known for a body of work centering on the image of the horse. In her earlier video installations, Biggs has examined the way society constructs gender, often using the image of the horse as an emblem of female sexual sublimation and masculine power." |
