Sherry Karver

In my work the documentary nature of the photographmerges with the painterly qualities of oil, establishing a dialogue and tension between the two. I mount my black &white images on top of 2 5/8” deep wood panels, andhand paint them with numerous layers of oil glazes to buildup the color, combining the old master technique of glazingwith contemporary photo/digital technology. This gives eachpiece a lush surface and makes it stand out as a painting,rather than a print.

Mary-Austin Klein

The ability to contain vast and deep landscapes into small, flat paintings makes me feel like a wrangler of space. Afteryears of painting cityscapes, purchasing a desert cabin in Twentynine Palms led me to painting panoramic desert landscapes.These paintings became dense with a sense of place, distances stretching on forever and mountains glowing with aninner light. The power to capture the magic of the California desert and contain it within a frame is enthralling.

Jason KowalskiNew things that have fresh coats of paint and clean lines command our visual awareness. Things that have been used and wornout are often naively labeled unattractive. My work is both a statement of the effect of time on a location, as well as a vehicleto arouse attention to things that are often forgotten. Growing up in the Midwest I was constantly surrounded by things thatdeteriorated over the natural course of time. Human nature dictates that we ignore or look past such blemishes. Abandonedand left in a state of neglect, places and things are consumed and discarded like pieces of trash.

Dave Lefner

The main goal of my work is about preservation and documentation. As a native-born Angeleno, I’ve always had a lovefor the city around me. My work reflects a nostalgia for its aging but unique storefronts, signage, and architecture from allLos Angeles areas, ranging from the Valley to my current home of Downtown L.A. For me, the urban landscape, completewith its burnt-out neon, faded, peeling advertisements and movie posters, and possibly even the occasional graffiti piece,serve as the perfect inspiration for my detailed, limited-edition linocut prints.

Glenn Ness

Painting is a way for me to tell stories, celebrating our need to connect to eachother and to our surroundings. It is notenough for me to just paint a man walkingup the stairs. I am intimately involved in thatmoment as soon as I choose to paint it. Iwonder about His story and how it relatesto mine. Often I choose not to paint a figure in a scene at all, which overstates anobvious absence. To me, this implies a nar-rative that lends itself to being internalizedin some way.

I like to paint both around urban andrural scenarios. My current work is a crosssection of both. Cityscapes give me anopportunity to visually explore very complexmultiple perspectives and light sources fromscenes we may walk through every day. Therural pool scene with its undulating linesand shocks of light and color have a hyp-notic effect on me that pulls me inward. Bothhave a subject matter that celebrates theeverydayness of being in the moment andnot missing it.

Siddharth Parasnis

The works of Siddharth Parasnis are inspired by a vastarchive of architectural images that he collects during histravels. He translates the rustic architectural structures on tothe canvas, abstracting and simplifying them in order tostrike a balance between likeness and abstraction. His workresonates on both an abstract and representational level,which makes them familiar and foreign at the same time.Born in India, Parasnis received his B.F.A. from theDirectorate of Art, Bombay, India and then received hisM.F.A. from the Academy of Art University in SanFrancisco, California.

David Shevlino

David Shevlino was born in Jersey City, NJ in 1962. A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and theUniversity of Pennsylvania, he also studied at the Art Students' League in New York. Growing up near NYC, Shevlino wasexposed to art as a teenager. He began making trips to art museums at age 15 and developed a love of traditional figurative painting. During this time he found himself especially drawn to the old masters; his interest in modern art was cultivated considerably later. Those early museum visits provided a sense of the origins and history of painting and instilleda love of drawing and the creative process.

In Shevlino's current work, the canvas has increasingly become a place to experiment with different techniques of paintapplication. He is particularly interested in exploring the line between the traditional representation of the figure and theabstraction of it, and his paintings reflect his simultaneous use of both approaches.

Scott Yeskel

Los Angeles based artist Scott Yeskel has been painting his love/hate affair with Southern California since his relocation tothe area six years ago. Traffic snarls, boxy apartments and occasional car crashes often act as Yeskel’s muse.

It is when Scott switches to his abstract work that his love affair with the spirit and color of the West appears. That’sright, Scott paints both abstract and representational landscapes, switching back and forth using many of the same colorsand themes. Inspired by mid-century masters such as Diebenkorn and Richter, yet original in both content and style, Yeskel’soil paintings are true statements of contemporary California living.

Yeskel’s frequent visits to Ventura have served as a nice respite to his hectic Hollywood neighborhood. The sea andcrisp air inspired a current mix of colorful visions of the seaside town mixed in, of course, with his iconic L.A. cityscapes.

Robert Townsend

Robert Townsend was born in Downey, CA. He paints highly finished images of the icons of an American Pop mythology. His unfailing eye for color and texture produce a vision of America’s material culture that vacillates

between nostalgia for what is lost and optimism for the continuation of American ingenuity.
