Brian Dupont My practice is a study of how text and language interact with the process and material of painting. I prefer to approach the texts obliquely, working with fragments, names, lists, or even codes and numbers, so that any referential content is not foregrounded and didactic, but rather there only to be excavated with careful looking. I do not want the work to be merely read (which I feel ends any engagement too quickly), and to that end the legibility that is reinforced by the use of stencils is contradicted by the erasure, layering, and shifts in scale and kerning of the painting process. Where in a traditional 2D painting the layers of marks and color must resolve on a single plane, painting on 3D supports of structural aluminum allow me to further expand the possibilities of the painting as a carrier of information; all of the sides cannot be viewed simultaneously, and the complete painting can only be comprehended as an abstract construction.

Suzanne Levy My current body of work is inspired by the delicate balance between order and chaos in each of our lives. This idea is produced spontaneously as I work, with intuition guiding me. I free myself from the constraints of reason and rely on my inner rhythm to achieve balance. My work consists of related images that grow from one another. Each painting is created using shapes, both spherical and linear, that are manipulated and presented from multiple vantage points.

Shapes are stretched, repeated, overlapped and layered. Using tools such as palette knives, brushes, rags, and print blocks, a concept is conceived on canvas and using sweeping motion and tightly executed details.

Diana Godfrey Within a nonrepresentational image, I am concerned with color, texture and the enlivenment of the entire picture, intending to create a visual experience of discovery that draws the viewer into and around a varied surface. I enjoy expressing with color--sometimes subdued and sometimes lively. The marks, shapes and forms in the art can also be subtle or strongly defined creating a range of feeling and atmosphere. There is no preconceived idea of the finished piece. The final image evolves and emerges over time through the building up of layers and texture with collage and adding of color, line, and form with paint. The layers and overlapping create depth, forming relationships and texture. Color unifies, clarifies, balances and organizes the work. Each artwork is an individual journey that has its own visual story to tell.
