Wendy Wolf will be showing at the Green Line Locust from February through March.

Her small-scale paintings are rich, deliberate, and full of a beautiful range of marks filled with reticulation.

Consider her artist’s statement below:

Our ever-popular open microphone night is back again!  Come by and see it happen or bring something in your head or hand to read, it’s a great night to get out of the house and experience something brave and new.

Local artist Shawn Bonsky will be exhibiting at the Green Line Powelton from January 4th – the end of February.

You can read his artist statement here:

There Are Creatures in the Wilderness

“When I walk in the woods I am always looking for the small creatures.
Sometimes I find them in streams or on trees, and sometimes I do not see
them at all. I do not know if you partake in this idle pastime but if you
do perhaps you have seen things I have seen, and perhaps you have seen
things all your own.

I seek to recreate the edges of those holes worn in a person’s past – to
create images of situations that conjure up a memory you may have had,
something similar to a feeling you once experienced. To make images that
allow you to place yourself in them, to change them around and use it as a
patch for a hole you have, to make your story more complete. In my
paintings I attempt to capture the beauty of faded memories and dreams. I
think there are certain things in life that all people have been astounded
by, hence my large skies, distant horizons, and imaginary creatures. I
hope to create not moments of greatness, but rather moments where
greatness has become mundane and attainable, moments that the viewer can
place themselves inside.”

Daniel Oliva – Selected Night Works

“In the current exhibition of selected paintings and digital collages from the series “Nightscapes” I have explored eternal themes of darkness and light, knowledge and ignorance, culture and nature through a new lens: satellite imagery of the earth and universe. Our understanding of these new satellite images and their consequences for our culture is still in early development, but I believe they belong to the art historical landscape tradition as it moves into the 21^st Century. Through new technology we gain immense knowledge about the cosmos, simultaneously the stars in our night sky are disappearing as the face of our planet increasingly resembles those stars. Today we have gained more knowledge of the universe than any people in history, and every night we look for stars in a night sky that is diluted by a multitude of burning bulbs.

My ultimate goal is to present the viewer with something they have not seen before, and will need to be aware of if they choose to consider humanity’s current and future place in the universe.”
