FALLEN & FED

As an artist, my work is largely informed by my faith since it is through that lens that I see the world around me.  These recent works are no different. 

The painting Fallen plays off the promise that there is inherent care for the birds of the air by their creator and so, how much more inherent and vast is the love for humanity by their creator.  This begs the question, “what happens when the least of these falls or seems to leave that care?” 

The painting Fed is my response to that question.  This painting follows the narrative of Elijah – a prophet that was sent to confront a king that would eventually pursue him to silence him and attempt to put him to death.  At the onset of his journey, God sends a raven to feed Elijah.  The raven fed him as an act of encouragement, to sustain him physically, and most importantly to give him the resources needed to continue the difficult work that lay ahead.  I choose to respond that justice is not dead or asleep.  This is our time to listen and be fed so that we may act.

In his work he investigates the visual nature of transitory phenomena, magnifying common materials, substances and structures into indexes of growing complexity through spatial and temporal manipulation. Conceptually, Vernon's work is an exploration of the intersection between matter, energy, space/time and society and how these fundamental aspects of reality shape the human experience. 

Vernon Byron is a visual artist based in New York's Hudson Valley. Vernon earned a BFA with a concentration in printmaking from SUNY New Paltz in 2011, and has continued to show work at a variety of locations in the Mid-Hudson Valley.

GRAZIANO

BILL

“For Bill Graziano sculpture has always been his greatest interest. Devoting his time and energy, working with a variety of materials and examining an object in relation to light, subject and anything else around it. Context and subtlety determine the way of rendering, constructed on geometric principles, ambiguity and the subconscious.

His current sculptural work, forged iron, employs traditional blacksmithing techniques, attempting to express poetic ideas in the mind and open the way to creating an expressive abstraction of patterns, imitating life rhythms and motions in nature. His work is not the prevailing conventional wisdom of environmental conditions, but rather a convergence of artistic personality.”

       —Tjok Gde Arsa Artha, Director of the Pomona Cultural Center, Pomona, NY

Iviva Olenick engages textiles materially, linguistically, historically, agriculturally. Through embroidery, beading, weaving, crochet and natural dyeing, she recontextualizes familial, local and national written and oral histories and myths, emphasizing overlooked or omitted voices. She created Incantation shortly after the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, entreating all U.S. citizens, residents, voters to engage introspection, responsibility and kindness in a tumultuous, psychologically disruptive time. Iviva recited Incantation as a poem at the Queens Museum's 2017 Readings on Peace in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Incantation sparked the start of a series of flags, Ascent/Dissent: Flags for Peace and Unity, which can be viewed on her website.

RHEIN

GREG

Greg Rhein is a commercial photographer living and working New York City. He specializes in food/beverage, fine art, portrait and wedding photography. Additional work includes event, landscape, architectural, abstract and live music. Greg lives his passion capturing the essence of culture in it's ever evolving state (e.g. life, love, food, creativity, history, tradition, music, art and innovation ).

"I have this idea in my mind of where I want to go and who I want to become...it's simultaneously extravagant and elementary. When I was younger I was blindly stubborn and believed beyond a doubt that I would never "conform" to what I perceived the world to be. Naturally, with age comes life and its humbling lessons. My passion for photography has translated into a balance of how I need to live and how I want to live. I document, I distort light and time.  I create memories. I like to think I make people happy."
