ERIC SEPLOWITZ

Eric Seplowitz is a fine art photographer fascinated by scale - especially in bringing the micro and the macro, the small and large-scale, together. At the point of intersection between the two is his fascination with the world of geology and mineralogy (his undergraduate degree was in Geology from Union College, Schenectady). In his series UnEarthed, for example, he examines the direct connection between what is happening in the larger macro environment, and what is happening on the micro level. He emphasizes that the natural world includes our relationship to the planet - everything we have is derived from it. In UnEarthed, rocks and minerals are his core subjects: each specimen providing new opportunities for exploration that reveals complex, vibrant, and often surprising micro-landscapes. These tiny mineral and rock structures are literally the building blocks for everything around us– they play a major part in how we relate with the world in which we live. In his latest series Micro Landscapes – Small on a Large Scale, he looks more closely at geodes, agates and other minerals – to not only see them from a new perspective, but to provide a micro landscape in a grand scale enticing the mind to see other worlds within the lines, colors and patterns captured. He uses macro lenses, and often a specialized focusing rail, to take multiple photographs each with different focal points. Software helps to compile or stack the images to increase the focal range of the final image. To complete the transformation of these intricate micro landscapes into grand vistas, Eric prints the images up to 60 x 40 inches. What importance do these tiny structures have and what is our connection to these tiny building blocks? He thinks this broadening perspective is a key element of the arts: encouraging innovative ideas about how we live our lives and what we spend our time and energy focused on.

HARVEY PARIS

Harvey Paris today is a master carver of both wood and leather. Born in 1951, Harvey grew up in Brighton Beach in Brooklyn. "Paris," he says, "is the family name, but it was obviously changed when my grand-parents came through the immigration desk at Ellis Island long ago," he said. "It might have been Poiris. No-one is certain." Harvey is now a master carver, but he only started "chip carving" in 2006. After exploring several wood-carving techniques, he chose chip-carving for its simplicity: "I didn’t want to set up a workshop with 5,000 tools," he says. Chip-carving requires one hand-held knife. The decorative art can be traced back to the 12th century, with examples throughout Europe ranging from ceremonial tool handles to architectural components. Using a small knife or chisel, the artisan creates designs and patterns by removing chips from a wooden element. Softer woods are favored; in the U.S., bass and butternut are often used. Harvey specializes in contemporary religious design. His carvings range in size from small ceremonial objects to large works of installation art. What began as Jewish Wood Carving, has expanded to include leather, as well as carvings in the Christian and Muslim traditions. His works are now available to the broader Abrahamic community and on a much larger scale than ever before. While researching the craft online, Paris discovered Illinois-based Wayne Barton, recognized among the premier carvers in the U.S. and throughout the world. He registered for a two-day class, and still studies twice a year with Barton.
Barton says “Harvey has honed his skills and used his creative imagination to develop his own style of contemporary and unique Jewish carving. Equally exciting is his ability to transfer wood carving skills to leather, and now, to contemporary Christian design as well. Harvey's latest work, “Abraham’s Gift” will be on display at a pop-up show opening May 30 in Fairfield (see "Your News" below for details). See Harvey's website here.

Julia-Rose, an emerging artist and school psychologist, is the selected artist of the month for the SavorCity visit to El Pueblito, Sat. June 8, 12:15-2pm. Rich in color, her paintings explore the interaction between psychological emotions and inanimate forms, color fields, and deconstruction of shape. At right one of the paintings she will be showing at El Pueblito: Rise & Shine (20x16), an abstract contemporary painting completed in acrylics with palette knife. Julia-Rose comments that this bright artwork "is an exploration between the softness of bold color and the grittiness of urban architecture. The external textured color fields represent the dynamics, and often the overlap, that exist among our bold and muted moments in everyday life."
Kat Evans was selected to create a site specific painting for the Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse 2019 by Christopher Peacock (see Designers), whose company and brand is recognized as the ultimate in luxury cabinetry design. His elegant kitchen in the 2019 Showhouse features Kat's 60 x 30 inch painting The Royal Muse (at right; click for complete image).

Herm comments that as "...as I stood and looked out in awe on Cezanne’s magnificent landscape motif, its harmonious lines, colors, shapes and arrangements, I thought: this special place, this landscape, so present, so there....so what! It doesn’t change anything...but in that moment I realized: I had changed. And that was enough."
Dawn Kubie currently has work in an Art Show at the Orange Regional Health in Middletown, NY, organized by Rogal Art Gallery; at BayState Health in Springfield, MA, and at the Bird Nest Salon & Gallery in Guilford. At right is her Carry On (photograph on stretched canvas, 5x7) in the Bird Nest Salon show. Dawn also has work currently at Pure Poetry (4244 Madison Ave.) in Trumbull.


Joanie Landau has a solo show, Rumble ’N Sway  at the Loft Artists Gallery for the month of June, with an opening reception Sat. June 1, 6-8pm. This is Joanie's first show featuring her abstract series ‘Unplugged,’ in which she taps into her lifelong fascination with music’s raw emotional power. She says "music can instantly change my state of mind and hammer away at inner commotion. When I work on my art, the music is on loud, and I embrace the rhythm and the sound vibrations. Creating art without music would be like trying to work in total darkness." Her first solo show at the LAA, Rumble ’N Sway is comprised of all new pieces from this collection. Each work begins with original photography, which Joanie digitally manipulates until she is satisfied with the outcome. She says she loves working with saturated color, as well as starkly contrasting black and whites.
Shelley Lowell received Honorable Mention at the opening reception on May 18th of the Ridgefield Guild of Artists' 9th Annual Member Show for the painting, Visit, (2018, oil/wax on gallery-wrapped canvas, 24x48). The show will be up through June 23.

Jim has two paintings, “Country (Still) Life” (acrylic on paper, 20x16; cropped version at right) and Lupine Sublime in the New Pond Farm Invitational Art Show.   Jim has just launched ‘Almost Famous’ (tongue in cheek) newsletter, a light and breezy journal of the sometimes surreal and often serendipitous  journey of an emerging artist.  Interested readers can subscribe on his 3 Dreams Art Facebook page.

May 30, 5:30-9pm, with a short artists' talk at 7:30pm. In terms of the theme of the show, Chris' work uses tens of thousands of small, random cuts, a few, or many, volumes, evoking the many forms of water, a shape that itself has many thousands of ripples, waves, and drops. His four pieces in the show are: 159 Ripples: runoff (2016, altered books, 55x18x8½); 166 Ripples: douse (2016, altered book, paper, fabric, 43x22x9); 173 Ripples: drizzle (2017, altered books, 60x27x8; at right, click for larger image); and 138 Ripples: main (2013, altered books, 18x45x24)
Liz Squillace designed (and helped paint) this Underpass Mural  for the City of Bridgeport. It was inspired by the Purple Knights of the University of Bridgeport and was painted during the graduating class Commencement 2019, using a color palette suggested by UB's own colors. This was commissioned by the City and proved to be a very successful collaboration. Kudos to all involved! You can see it at the intersection of South Ave. and Warren St, under the I-95 exit 27A on-ramp to Rte 8. See more images here.

They may be older photos from a previous year as well as current photos. Milford Photo will provide First, Second, and Third prizes in the form of gift certificates to the store.

LOFT ARTISTS ASSOCIATION
THE SHAPE OF MEMORIES
JULY 15

The Loft Artists Association, Stamford, announce a call for entires to its 6th Annual Tri-State Exhibition, The Shape of Memories. The exhibition will open August 24 and run through September 22, 2019.  The juror/curator is Arianne Faber Kolb, PhD, art historian and independent curator, who was Executive Co-Director of the Carriage Barn Arts Center in New Canaan, a curator in the J.Paul Getty Museum’s Paintings and Drawings Departments, and a researcher in the Paintings Department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This exhibition explores the theme of memory and the key role it plays in art. Most artists’ works, whether on a conscious or subconscious level, reflect certain personal experiences and histories. References to the past can be monumental, quotidian or intimate. Everyday objects or places take on new meaning depending on how they are interpreted or experienced. In Marcel Proust’s “Remembrance of Things Past,” the smell and taste of a madeleine cake triggers a flood of memories and transports the author to another time and experience in his life. The show will explore the various mnemonic devices artists use to create thought provoking connections and commentaries on the passage of time.
Memory can be a very personal journey through one’s own timeline as well as a collective experience of togetherness. The Loft Artists Association is excited to offer this broad and very thought provoking theme for this exhibit. Work in all media will be considered, including collages or sculptures incorporating everyday found objects. Download instructions here. Apply here.

EYEBEAM
NEW YORK 
TERMS OF REFUSAL
RESIDENCIES
JUNE 21

Through exploratory process and emotionally compelling output, Eyebeam believes that artists can help us visualize and realize a more just future. Eyebeam provides both space and support for a community of diverse, justice-driven artists. The annual residency program, highly engaged community of alumni, advanced tools and resources, and shows and events help our artists bring their work to life and out into the world. Eyebeam enables people to think creatively and critically about technology’s effect on society, with the mission of revealing new paths toward a more just future for all. When ideals of capitalist progress become the driver of societal value, a position of refusal can be a political and necessary act. Eyebeam’s 2020 Residency Open Call asks applicants to consider refusal as it relates to technology and its impact on society. How do acts of refusal manifest in one’s life and work poetically or directly? Guided by the central prompt “what are the terms of refusal?” Eyebeam’s 2020 Residency will be punctuated by four key intensives which will be focused on research, experimentation, and exchange. They will be 3-4 days in duration, and organized by international and local visiting professionals who are working creatively as technologists, activists, and stewards of ideas in their fields. The intensives will dive into ideas of refusal in direct response to the residency cohort’s projects and research (see examples and further details here).
