Friday May 19:
Mark Leibert Bloom [rooftop projection]
Opening Reception: Friday, May 19, 7 -9pm
Atlanta artist, Freddie Styles will exhibit recent mixed media works on paper, entitled, "New Work". In this body of work, Styles continues his exploration of nature. Born in Madison, Ga, growing up farming and gardening, Styles connection to nature and the earth was permanently fixed within. Working as an abstractionist with a love of color, Styles, an award-winning gardener, provides the viewer with rich, textured , mystical landscapes with delicately painted surfaces. These landscapes, for Styles, are reminiscent of elaborate root systems, condensation, or some other aspect of organic expression.
Atlanta artist, Hope Cohn, will exhibit new paintings entitled, "Still Life". Cohn's recent body of work explores shape and form in nature. The abstracted tree and limb-like shapes are applied in a bold, callagraphic fashion. These works on paper and board are non-specific and allow the viewer to bring their own narrative to the work.
Atlanta artist Tania Becker will be exhibiting a new body of work entitled "Jellies," colorful works on paper are an exploration and deep descent onto the subconscious. The image of a jellysih is used to symbolize emotional layers of the past and to provoke insight and self reflection. Just as the jellyfish moves with the currents and tides so does the artwork pass through forms and colors into a new direction.
Atlanta artist, Mark Leibert will exhibit a projection/flash animation on the rooftop entitled, "Bloom." Leibert uses the battle of Man vs. Nature and the seduction of advertising as a central theme in his work. He incorporates a part of a 1950's educational film which introduces a synthetic product for gardening to help demonstrate the absurdity of man's attempt to recreate nature. He utilizes the tools of advertising to make his point. The tagline for the film is "nature perfected." The projection onto a large screen simulates the idea of a billboard, again, addressing advertising.
