Squeak Carnwath, a Bay Area based artist, draws upon the philosophical and mundane experiences of her daily life in paintings and prints. She depicts lush fields of color combined with text, patterns, and identifiable images. Her works reflect encounters with nature and society and are heavily influenced by current events. Carnwath is the 2019 recipient of the Lee Krasner award for a lifetime of artistic achievement.
James Clar is an installation and light artist; his work is an analysis and observation of the effects of media and technology on our perception of culture, nationality, and identity. He is interested in new technology and production processes, using them as mediums, while critiquing their modifying effects on human behavior and society. Clar’s light sculptures are produced with LEDs lined with printed pigmented gels and constructed with individually designed 3-D printed fasteners.
Sarah Dwyer is a painter and sculptor from Ireland, she received her Master’s in painting from the Royal College of Art, in London where she continues to live and work. Her historically imbued “portraits” reveal traces of memory and fragments of found imagery, resulting in unpredictable forms and mark-making.
Lee Kit works against his education as a traditional painter, placing his focus entirely on the process of the created over the finished product. Kit’s works are meticulous, delicate, and moving, often appearing abstract and minimal with many physical and emotional layers. The works are infused with his life and memories.
Kristen McIver is a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist. In her practice, she utilizes language, light, mixed media and new media, exploring identity and celebrity within the context of participatory and consumer culture. McIver completed a Master’s in Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne in 2014.
Carmen Neely integrates found objects and sculptural materials into her gestural paintings. Neely’s work is derived from personal narrative and lived experiences. In her most recent work she explores the highs and lows of a relationship, inviting us to behold both the realities and fantasies of romantic love.
Howard Smith’s quasigrid and pointillist paintings capture the precision of the artist’s hand. Smith was a member of the radical painting movement in the 1980s. In his works, viewers can see a desire to distill painting to its essence; the hundreds of small marks create a landscape of color on the canvas. The quasigrids are painted without a ruler or guide forming highly unique patterns within each work.
