Tomokazu Matsuyama’

Tomokazu Matsuyama’s work -- mostly acrylics on canvas or paper -- has a sense of intrigue, mystery and secrecy that draws the viewer in and demands a further look. There is also a feel of lightness, floating and movement that seems to suggest fleeting glimpses of something impermanent. At the same time, his art carries a strong implication of tradition and of enduring order.
His colors are subdued but lively, and much of the work suggest a paper-cut collage. Humans, mostly men, andanimals, especially horses, populate his art, and even in the abstracts, there is a hint of an eye, a wing, a presence just beyond the immediate first glance. The implication of story and the touch of subtle whimsy make his work accessible and inviting, yet the viewer is not hit with rigid answers. One is left with an oddly comfortable sensation of incomprehension.

STEVEN RIDDLE ART

“His work explores ideas of misperceptions and misrepresentations of nature. Natural rock formations known as geodes can be artificially colored using man-made methods. This results in the perversion of the original colors that are found in natural formations. The dyed geodes display a falsification of nature. Tchotchke markets exploit indigenous societies, stealing, altering, and in return, profiting from their culture through souvenirs sales. These mementos have no cultural value, other than being a product of consumer driven economy. The misrepresentations add to the destruction of cultural traditions. I have chosen to work on paper because I view its physical properties [as] temporal, and [its] fragility as appropriately related to the relationship between nature and indigenous cultures.” -Steven Riddle

HELMO

From the collection of HELMO comes this perfectly fun “ongoing” print. How excellent it is to post projects in process! How nice it is to see how places are gotten, not just products that cannot be learned about. How fabulous this print is, even in its unexplainable nature. Look at the marks, look at the colors. I give you props, my genius printmaking partner from another shops mother. Six colors for now.

Stephen Newby sculpture .

A series of balloon letters were developed this year as part of a concept project . The letters were produced using a newly developed technique of blowing the steel under high pressure to create a specific defined form. Produced in stainless steel and highly polished to a mirror finish, the letters were then coloured with a specially tinted coating.
