Leslie Shows

Leslie Shows builds collage paintings from a dizzying assortment of scraps, cutouts, confetti. Her work, primarily of surreal landscape, is minimal and serene and at the same time dense and chaotic. From afar one will see simple forms, such as mountains or tunnels, but as the user approaches, vast complexity emerges. From close, it’s almost difficult to see the forms that they comprise.

Scott De Bie

Scott De Bie‘s paintings are at first playful and appealing as a graphic aesthetic – then they become puzzling and deeply intriguing. What looks like amorphous blobs suddenly become topographical maps or visionary architectural sketches. Embedded through his work one can find messages, directions, indications of connection and ultimately a grand blueprint for some alternate reality.

Katie Lewis

Katie Lewis‘ work is a reflection of daily sensations felt throughout her body. Over time she has mapped specific points using hand-made pins strategically placed into her studio walls. These forms both show consentration of sensory awareness and the progression of this awareness over time.
