FOLLOW UP ARTIST TALKS!

Wednesday May 4, 6-8 p.m. The Artists will participate in a panel discussion hosted by Suggested Donation Podcast's Ted Minoff and Tony Curanaj.

Devin Cecil-Wishing


RESIDENTS includes work by Liz Beard, Anthony Baus, Patrick Byrnes, Devin Cecil-Wishing, Sally Fama Cochrane, Zoe Dufour, Samuel Hung, Brendan Johnston, and Justin Wood. Together their work demonstrates the varied ways in which traditional academic training can inform contemporary art practice.  

Patrick Byrnes


From Liz Beard's dreamlike narrative figure works, to Devin Cecil-Wishing's enigmatic trompe l'oeil still lifes, to Sally Fama Cochrane's elaborate medical allegories, exhibited works are marked by the marriage of highly refined technique with the incipient personal styles of nine developing visions

Justin Wood

Two still life painters: Justin Wood and Samuel Hung, are exploring the genre in refreshingly unique ways - Wood's elegant compositions invoke 17th century Dutch masters with a calm, even light, while Hung's whimsical pictures are rendered with a dazzling precision. Anthony Baus' part-observed, part-imagined compositions conjure past, present, and the ornate splendor of the ancient world.

Sally Fama Cochrane

Patrick ByrnesZoe Dufour, and Brendan Johnston present sensitive new figure paintings and sculptures exploring the intimate relationship between model and artist in ways that evoke both strength and vulnerability. 

Brendan Johnston
Having spent years carefully honing their painting, drawing and sculpting skills, these young artistic voices are now emerging with an intriguing array of styles, sensibilities and subject matter.

Sam Hung
