John Kingerlee Exhibit
July 1 - October 2, 2010

Paintings are touchstones, a myriad of paint strokes, each with their own specific gravity, valence, and charge. From this magical contact, from this continual return, an image emerges, as if rising from the surface like a mirage. This simple miracle of the painter's art, of the material passing into the phenomenal, like the body transfigured into spirit, is at the heart of John Kingerlee's work.

Jack Dowd

September 7 - November 24, 2010

Jack Dowd is quickly making a name for himself as one of America’s foremost, contemporary sculptors. His life-size works are viewed on continuing exhibitions in museums and galleries collected by private, public and corporate patrons. Dowd’s “Last Call” sculpture installation is a cultural tribute to the vibrancy of American nightlife. The installation consists of 13 unique life size sculptures, which are based on the type of people typically found in a New York bar. These sculptures will be placed around a beautiful mahogany bar complete with sawdust, music,  interactive video games, and a pool table.

Linda Tuma Robertson
November 30, 2010

Linda Tuma Robertson employs impressionistic techniques to capture the transient effects of shifting light while incorporating realistic detailing to truthfully portray the essence of the landscape. Linda was recently commissioned by the Oklahoma State Senate Historical Preservation Committee to paint a large painting of Oklahoma’s Round Barn on Route 66, which now hangs outside the House of Representatives on the fourth floor of the Oklahoma State Capitol. Robertson’s work has been displayed at the Kerr Museum in Washington, D.C.

Phil Joanou

November 30, 2010

Phil Joanou records and documents what he knows about contemporary culture. His work has been influenced by many aspects of modern society including film, advertising, music, news and graphic design. At the same time he has found that certain historical influences have stayed with him, especially those given over to the allegorical reading of culture and individual impulses. As reflected in his work, these influences have resulted in a tense stalemate between the historical, classical ideas, and modern reality. His references to classical mythology and literature enable him to link the old with the new.
