I create images based upon feelings and memories. My work is expressed primarily through abstraction, sometimes landscape painting, and often somewhere in-between. The paintings are typically energetic, lyrical, and expressive. My desire is for the viewer to connect with the piece through deep feelings of joy, sadness, longing, or hope.

Justin Kellner, He/Him - JustinKellner.com - JustinKellner@hotmail.com
My work aims to foster a sense of discovery with nature that I hope will inspire the viewer to pick up a field guide on their own and explore their own surroundings. The paintings give an impression of the natural areas I’ve explored, while informing the viewer about their environmental fragility. In my paintings, I combine aggressive, abstract brushstrokes and textures with realistically rendered birds to create spaces that give the impression of erosion, change and isolation. Drawing on memories, natural forms and textures from the environment, I work intuitively, creating abstract suggestions of the landscape that remind me of the places where I’ve sought out birds and wildlife.” Fine art paintings, drawings, screenprinting, (originals and prints)

Keemo, He/Him - www.keemogallery.com - info@keemogallery.com
My work as an artist is to explore what makes us unique, and how we fit into the rest of the world. With that understanding, our authentic portraits are much different than what we see with our eyes. Our most realistic portraits are abstract. Our portraits are not what we look like on the outside because that doesn’t really matter, does it? It is a deeper dive into who we are. We are abstract. Each one of us.

Casaletto’s art centers on socio-political challenges of 21st-century life in a super-power nation, addressing power imbalances (racial, economic, gendered) or perilous trends (nationalism, complacency) as perceived from her position within a working-class, mixed-race family. Her innovative approaches to drawing, painting, and printmaking confront the complex relationships among corruption and redemption, justice and injustice. The work dives deeply into both formalist and conceptual concerns to suggest multiple meanings. Casaletto exhibits nationally and internationally and has shown with such artists as Nick Cave, Betye Saar, Sue Coe, and Faith Ringgold. She has won awards from Pyramid Atlantic Art Center (DC), Georgia Humanities Council (Atlanta), Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (NYC), and others. Her art is museum collections such as the Library of Congress and the Broad Museum of Art in E. Lansing, Mich. Recent solo shows were in New York City; Monterey, California; and at the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, Georgia.
