Below are a few artists we'd like to call your attention to this week. |
 Gabrielle Goyvaerts |
 Dawn of the Dead |
Gabrielle claims she is an artists "because i love to express myself...because it will never dry my tears on purpose...because its a way of communicating...because its the only way of honesty...because i can make presents of it...because of the exiting people you meet...because i can never find another friend...because this is forever." |
 Al Lewis |
 Portraits |
Al Lewis holds a BFA in painting and printmaking and a Minor in Art History from the Art Institute of Boston. In his own words "The representational aspects of the image and the abstract expression of the paint are in a struggle for importance. This juxtaposition is the deepest layer of unification throughout my artwork. I see this dichotomy as correlative to the combination of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Both describe the universe accurately but their mixture is like oil and water in that they will always be fundamentally separate. The implication of my interest in a work of art that assembles multiple approaches as opposed to a unified idealist conviction is directly related to how science can unify without being dogmatic. That objective unification can be seen in my process that begins in the concept of depiction and then advances toward empowering abstract qualities such as texture, shape or chance application. I consider my paint to be personified with a passive aggressive attitude toward the representation of reality. " |
 Jane Shirek |

Jane Shirek lives between LA, New York, Florida and Graceland. Jane traveled the world taking pictures and exhibiting her photographs, then landed in Milan, Italy where she heard the siren's call of Fashion.

She currently works at the Danforth Museum School in Framingham, MA as the Assistant Registrar, Children’s Programming Coordinator and as a children’s art teacher. |
 Ian Aleksander Adams |
 Bad News |
Ian is currently a BFA student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He also graduated in 2005 the Hallmark Institute of Photography. In Ian's words "I'm a working artist. That still feels weird to say, like it's somehow contradictory. I like playing games with ideas and creating things. I manage to make a small living at it." |

 Mark Pack |
 Painting Specimen |
Mark earned a BFA in Painting form Northern Illinois University in 2001 and and MFA in Painting from Rhode School of Design in 2004 with honors. In Mark's own words...“Growing” is the word that best describes my primary concern while painting. Growth happens in all living things. If something grows, it is not made. To “make” a painting is to not make art, but if one lets, that painting grow, then art is made. The difference being that the former is only made by the maker and reflects only the maker’s mind. The latter allows for its own making and thusly develops a mind of its own. |
