XYnZ
Collage, 13 x 13 x 1 inches, 2020 by Carmine Santaniello
Description
These new collages were during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic to the present day. I call these works spontaneous because they are not planned out, they just evolve. They are chaotic with a form of kinetic energy that now I see as a release of my fear, isolation and the unknown of a “new normal” during these difficult times. As an artist this has been a cathartic and therapeutic body of work that has gotten me through this pandemic up until today.

Departure
Acrylic on Canvas, 24 x 18 x 1 inches, 2019 by Alice Lipping
Description
This Painting was done as part of a Black and White Series. I enjoy going back to basics with Black and White because I can get so much dimension and depth within the painting. This piece was painted with silicone wedges which helps create movement through layering and subtractive measures.

Vivid – skip 6
acrylic on canvas, 18 x 18 x 3 inches, 2020 by Maia Nero
Description
Abstract expressionist style adding a thought provoking process for the admirer to question what they visualize this is what inspires me as an artist; as it can captivate those looking at my work with wonder. Again I find inspiration for my journey though nature whether walking, hiking or having travelled to Machu Picchu, Peru, and Angel Falls Venezuela.

Dark Entry to a Lonesome Devil’s Lair
Acrylic on Cradled Board, 36 x 24 x 1 inches, 2019 by John McCarthy
Description
This work was inspired by the music and lyrics of the gothic band Bauhaus. While the lyrics and music is somewhat dark and foreboding, the light colors and gentle feel of the painting lures the unwitting soul to the lair of the devil.
