Eleanor Leonne Bennett is a young UK photographer who has exhibited and published work around the world. Get Back Better on, 2011 13″ x 9″

At a time when many young artists are working with new technology and media, this exhibition engages the contemporary issues of space, the studio, and representation through the dexterity of the painted form. The work of all five artists is strongly thematic and conceptually linked with painting of the past, yet explores the nature of seeing in the fractured present through direct observation and the […]

Anthony Sonnenberg encrusts bobcats with pearls and integrates gold-leaf, crystal and porcelain into scenes of flamboyant stillness.  His work vividly references the tradition of trophy hunting paired with the lavish interiors of the Rococo movement. Conceptually, Sonneberg is interested in exploring and questioning the cultural constraints that arise from forming personal identity through the lust  of objects, his interest in this subject he credits to growing up in rural Texas where the cultural norm embraced all that was hyper-masculine. Sonnenberg is an MFA candidate at the University of Washington and received his BA from the University of Texas, Austin. He […]
