Coloured inks and pastel on paper Signed Gestural abstraction Outsider art Artist’s statement : "Painting, for me, is an expressive endeavor in which one depicts the evolution of the various facets of the artistic self. There is, on each canvas, a tension where violence and stillness naturally coexist. By playing with different materials, I seek to establish a sort of unexpected dialogue between these states, and aspire to express this tension through profusion of color. The canvas is the stage that allows me to unite narration with the action of painting the fantastic—even the outrageous---and the everyday. I develop scenarios borrowed from the imagination, which join fantasy, even fables, with the everyday. Pulling threads from each domain, I bring together the mythical and the quotidian, so that the worlds of reality and fantasy merge. I rely on “creatures,” improbable little characters that could exist in some other realm or dimension. They materialize, issuing forth from the surprising, unbelievable and wondrous world of childhood. Human or animal, both find themselves entangled in inextricable and melancholic situations. These inextricable situations create distance; the humor comes through this breach. It is the absurdity of their predicaments that manifests the humor in the work. In each of my paintings, the sentiments are heightened by an intentional, provocative tone that transforms the work. An Otherness is attributed to objects; objects become personified, and by their very presence, they become witnesses or guinea pigs torn between and bound to their dilemma. The titles of my paintings, whether invented or quotations taken out of context, come from literature, theater, or song lyrics. Accident and chance are often major actors in my work.” Emmanuelle Messika BIOGRAPHY : Emmanuelle Messika was born in France in 1979. She works and lives in Paris.

Artist Commentary: The colors in this work reflects a satellite image of the Mezen River in northwest Russia, where the fresh water of the river meets the saltwater of the Arctic Sea. The current of the river so strong that the sediment carried by the river pours out into the sea - not forming the typical land delta around it. Keywords: abstract, waves, black and white Artist Biography: Kerry Hirth was born in the Midwest and currently lives and works near Columbia, Missouri. Her work translates music to visual art. She uses her synesthetic experience of musical harmony as color to create drawings of music in vibrant linear patterns. Her work uses both color and text to capture the complexity and richness of music and explore the source of music in life experiences. She often collaborates with musicians, with some noteworthy past projects including: Live demonstration with an orchestra A curated program on the relationship between improvisational jazz and the visual arts Creating artwork for the first Mugellini Festival in Macerata, Italy Collaborating on the composition of new music Creating backgrounds for live performance Her approach to music and visual art has been shaped by her unique background. She received an MA in Philosophy with a minor in music performance. She has done archaeological illustrations of Mayan artifacts...
