ABOUT MEGAN SUTTLES
Megan Suttles is the founder, owner, and curator of Hot Wood Arts, an educator, and an installation artist. Her individual artworks are mostly site-specific installations that she considers to be spatial drawings. She creates environments that the viewer can experience by walking around and through. These environments are mostly created with multiples of everyday materials such as hundreds of aluminum tubes, countless rolls of packing tape, thousands of bobby pins, miles of monofilament, many shelving brackets, and boundless amounts of hose clamps. There is usually a grid or structure that is created as a container with some kine of explosion of these objects that happens inside of the created confinement. The ideas are based on anxiety and control. She has been exploring the eternal struggle between restraint and disorder: the way we tend to conceal our inner confusion with the outward appearance of refinement and perfection. Her work has become focused on revealing this chaos; making the invisible visible again. Through gestural installations, she reveals her understanding of the difference between uncertainty and certainty. Megan’s work has been exhibited in such places as Lehman Collage Art Gallery in the Bronx, The UnScene in New York City, The UnFair in New York City, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Gallery in North Adams Massachusetts, The Shore Institute of Contemporary Arts in Asbury Park New Jersey, The Governor’s Island Art Fair, Hunter College in New York City, Pratt Institute in Brooklyn New York, The OK Hotel in Seattle Washington, Hotel Chelsea in New York City, and Portal Art Fair in New York City. Megan has both a MFA and BFA from Pratt Institute where she studied in Brooklyn New York, Lucca Italy, Rome Italy, and Port Elizabeth South Africa. She also holds an associates degree in Fashion Design from The Fashion Institute of Technology, and studied sculpture and drawing at the Arts Students League of New York City and The New York Academy of Art. Megan was an artist-in- residence at Vermont Studio Center, Emerson Landing Artist Retreat Center, Wildacres Retreat, and 4Heads Governors Island.

Twig Lips
2019

Twig Lips is a New York City based artist. Self-taught, she has been painting since 2017 transforming canvas with ink, acrylic, and watercolor. Her work has been shown in galleries across NYC.

Her moniker is derived from the original source of her inspiration for painting. She began painting lips - which eventually evolved into her signature flowers that have remained an important part of her artwork.

To begin her creative process, she compliments her mood with music. She credits the music she chooses, which can span all genres and decades, with allowing each painting to flow in its own unique way. Twig Lips’ goal is to convey balance. Balance is achieved with a combination of bold ink spots and her intricate flowers. The flowers draw influence from 18th Century Japanese and Chinese porcelain. She cites the bright colors present in her work as a reflection of modern interior design, graffiti and architecture.

A.I. WAGING WAR TED CHAPIN
Mixed media Approx. 17 x 13 inch, edition 1/1
Trump suffers an extreme case of narcissistic personality disorder. The potential consequences for the human race of this man’s mental state, now that he has acquired power sufficient to destroy civilization with the push of a button, suggests a story line from a vintage action-hero comic book: the fate of the world at the mercy of an all-powerful villain.
The number one action hero of Trump’s childhood was Superman, who was the leading 1950’s DC Comics character, the first action hero to have a TV series with a large and loyal audience tuning in every week. Fighting for ‘Truth, Justice and the American Way’, Superman’s enemies were an endless progression of comic book villains.
Over the many decades of Superman comics, some of the story lines have featured Superman overwhelmed by evil forces, a rogue villainous Superman who becomes a direct threat to truth, justice and the American way. That rogue genre of Superman comic books provided me a metaphorical stand-in for Trump for my new series ‘The Adventures of President SuperDude’.
In this series I have collaged comic book images of a rogue Superman into wall-hung three-dimensional cartoons composed of typewriter pieces, plastics, and other found objects, mechanically connected with nuts and bolts as well as springs. These machine-like constructions illustrate the dysfunctional, illogical machinery already evident in the nascent Trump administration.
They also foreshadow the likely disasters ahead resulting from the executive branch of the American government headed by a mentally ill man.

When I was 17, I had a summer job working as the assistant in the advertising department of the original Abercrombie & Fitch store on Madison Avenue in New York. (No, not the Abercrombie people know today. Abercrombie & Fitch was the world's finest store for all sorts of sporting, hunting & fishing equipment. It's where Teddy Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway and John F. Kennedy shopped.) Every day A&F ran an ad on the same page of the New York Times, and my job was to get all the materials for that ad, have the art studio create the layout, and then take the "mechanical" of the ad to the NYT building on West 43rd St. on my way to Penn Station to go home to NJ. The next morning on the train back into NYC, I would see the ad (my ad) printed in the paper. That started my love of advertising.

College came next and I studied fine arts and languages. I wanted to work at the UN and travel the world. But, I took a painting class at Skidmore and turned a corner. I had my own studio at school and painted large Monet-inspired abstract landscapes.

After graduation when I was looking for a job in NY, I answered an ad for a studio assistant and discovered it was for Helen Frankenthaler. She invited me to tea at her home. All seemed great until she told me it was an unpaid job. Unfortunately, I needed a job that paid.

So, advertising it was...and is. I’ve loved it and have been able to travel all over the world shooting commercials.

Some years ago, I started passing the time in airports and on flights by tearing bits of color pages out of magazines and gluing them into a notebook. Those were my first collages. I love playing with the shapes and colors…having them clash and collide and finding their right place.

The collages are the first step. Next, comes the paintings - large paintings. And, I’m exploring turning some works into large 3-D pieces. We’ll see what happens…

My studio is in an 1840s building that was a General Store and Post Office.

THE STAR OF SAN JUAN
Julia Rivera is a talented and well-educated painter who has pleased many art collectors with her daring use of color, the internal rhythms of her compositions, and above all, her playful and refreshing imagery.
In her painting, Rivera, who was born in the Bronx in 1965, and who studied art in Florence, New York, and the School of Plastics Arts of Puerto Rico, creates an attractive, fairy tale universe where carefully chosen objects – clocks, fruit, little toy cars, bottles and elongated chairs – are arranged in order to let us see their essence in a surreal but celebratory manner.
Mallarme pointed out that a good poem has to be enigmatic. I believe that good works also have to possess magic and mystery. A good work of art does not let us know everything. Influenced by Gorky, Miro, Chagall and Matta, and quite aware of what has happened in the field of ‘lite’ neo-figuration during the last three decades, Rivera combines humor and poetry to conceive well balanced scenarios where the mundane and metaphysical establish dialogue about time and the human condition.

ABOUT HOLLY SUZANNE RADER
Holly Suzanne Rader began her fine arts career as a classically-trained portrait painter, while in recent years evolving into a sculptor and mixed media artist exploring a wide range of materials including acrylic, photo collage, wax, resin, paper mâché, sequins, glitter and even candy. She is drawn to subject matter typically of vintage glamour. Bright drips of paint, glitter-enhanced photos and high gloss finishes create a visual seduction of color and texture. The overture of her work, whether on canvas or in sculpture, evokes a playful presence of the feminine soul.
While completing her MFA at the Savannah College of Art and Design, she travelled extensively and received international recognition. She was a featured artist in the 2002 Women by Women exhibition at the Mona Bismark Foundation in Paris. She was commissioned to create paintings for the 2006 Scad Fashion Gala honoring designer Vera Wang. In 2010, the college commissioned her to create over one hundred mixed-media fiber works to be installed at their new Hong Kong Campus.
Cottage Living Magazine described her work as ‘blending femininity with modern form.’ She has also been featured in the New York Times, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Le Monde and Le Figaro magazines.

INFINITE LIGHT MIRA NACHMAN
Archival pigment print on Dbond and plexi glass 39 x 59 inch, edition 8 + 2 artist proofs Tel Aviv, 2015
In life, as in photography, the light which penetrates through the negatives radiates and creates the positive. The one cannot exist without the other. Mira collects these rays of light into a geometric and harmonic composition. She is traveling throughout the world as a bystander to reality and has gathered her inspiration with time from people, their feelings, desires, disappointments and dreams.
Mira has learned photography over the years through her experience. She responds intuitively to the moment and devotes herself to the sensory experience of photography.
Her images were taken in different parts of the world and are reflecting different periods in the progression of Mira’s photographic language – one might consider them as a quotation of moments she had experienced. Moments which might be passed without paying attention to their existence, Mira is capturing them and revealing their magic.
These images are ambivalent, and do not surrender easily to the viewer’s eyes, they can be interpreted in more than one way.
In this way Mira creates the space for the viewer where he can fill in his personal insights and feelings, it might be regarded as a kind of correspondence with the viewer.

Sei Smith

2019

Sei Smith (b. 1990, New York City) studied painting at The School of Art Institute of Chicago. He had his first solo exhibition in 2011 and has since shown both nationally and internationally. In 2012, Smith and his brother founded Apostrophe NYC, an art gallery/curation experiment. They notably staged guerrilla pop-ups in the stairwell of the Whitney, the courtyard at MoMa PS1 and a Brooklyn subway station. Along with his art practice, Sei continues to curate shows/happenings.

Sei Smith’s work from Reflections 1-2 is founded in the concept of phenomenology, a mode of thinking established at the dawn of the twentieth century by Edmund Husserl. Phenomenology emphasizes awareness of one’s own life as life occurs. It suggests that we interact with the phenomena of our world through experience, and that these experiences result in us being people who play, think, feel, reflect. The revelations we form—the ones we find to be most true—occur to us because we choose to participate in life as unique and subjective individuals.

As you consider the course of your own sensory involvement with the work, Smith’s kinship with these ideas becomes apparent. The fluorescent shadows cast over plains of white act as invitations that draw the eye’s attention before sustaining your gaze. An intense quality of focus can be felt in the presence of these works, one that is rarely experienced in our time, as we grow dependent on new forms of communication and technology.

Smith has said that the shapes, shadows, and textures of his Reflections work are unavoidable elements: “But to see is to be attracted, and to be attracted is to desire a kind of unattainable understanding. This is, to me, the beginning of every experience I’ve had with art.”

Acrylic on Rice Paper on Canvas
12in x 9in 2019

Brooklyn based artist exploring our relationship to the natural world, the passing of time and the fragility of memory. Using a range of techniques from a self-developed method of layering and tearing rice paper as a way of “adding some time” onto the paintings to working on Japanese papers while they are completely saturated with water, materiality and texture play a huge role in the work. Using these layered and weathered surfaces the paintings become a pursuit to examine the most extreme fringes of human’s relationship to time, trying to find the eternal, the transient and the infinite in nature. The hazy, half-remembered depictions of the natural world evoke a melancholic spirit but still manage to remain optimistic and hopeful.

CAMEO ANDREI PETROV
Oil on canvas 20 x 20 inch, edition 1/1 2016
Andrei grew up in New York City and was inspired from an early age by the work of his uncle Dimitri Petrov a celebrated DADA Surrealist painter and his father a set designer. He attended LaGuardia high school for Music and Art as well as SUNY Purchase and New Paltz. Andrei continues to live and work in New York.
Andrei Petrov: ‘In my approach two roads are taken: a natural, Hudson River School path of light and drama filled grandeur that encounters energetic animated gestures, muscular surfaces and bold strokes familiar in Abstract Expressionism. Beneath numerous glazes and opalescent layers swaths of paint dash about this stage and often emerge from the lower depths of which there are many levels.
Freezing the action allows a probing slow-motion breakdown of the components that comprise the canvas. Think of a frozen lake: leaves, twigs, nuts, fish, are all suspended in ice at different depths and angles. Piercing the surface, thick islets of paint interrupt a placid color field and create vast non-linear perspective from the root to the fruit of the gesture. Tension is created by the juxtaposition of animated bursts of paint with the slow contemplative layering found in paintings of the Hudson River School. The invitation to explore this amber-like world is now extended. Sometimes the brush is mightier than the pen.’
Andrei Petrov has exhibited in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, New Mexico, Boston and Florida. Mr. Petrov’s work can be found in the collections of The Cooper Hewitt Museum, The Four Seasons Hotel, The Fairmont Hotel, Hotel Plaza Athenee and the Segal Corporation, to name a few.
He was selected as the honored Visual Artist at the esteemed Festival in Silicon Valley, California in 2016.

SAFE HAVEN ANDREI PETROV
Oil on canvas 40 x 40 inch, edition 1/1 2016
Andrei grew up in New York City and was inspired from an early age by the work of his uncle Dimitri Petrov a celebrated DADA Surrealist painter and his father a set designer. He attended LaGuardia high school for Music and Art as well as SUNY Purchase and New Paltz. Andrei continues to live and work in New York.
Andrei Petrov: ‘In my approach two roads are taken: a natural, Hudson River School path of light and drama filled grandeur that encounters energetic animated gestures, muscular surfaces and bold strokes familiar in Abstract Expressionism. Beneath numerous glazes and opalescent layers swaths of paint dash about this stage and often emerge from the lower depths of which there are many levels.
Freezing the action allows a probing slow-motion breakdown of the components that comprise the canvas. Think of a frozen lake: leaves, twigs, nuts, fish, are all suspended in ice at different depths and angles. Piercing the surface, thick islets of paint interrupt a placid color field and create vast non-linear perspective from the root to the fruit of the gesture. Tension is created by the juxtaposition of animated bursts of paint with the slow contemplative layering found in paintings of the Hudson River School. The invitation to explore this amber-like world is now extended. Sometimes the brush is mightier than the pen.’
Andrei Petrov has exhibited in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, New Mexico, Boston and Florida. Mr. Petrov’s work can be found in the collections of The Cooper Hewitt Museum, The Four Seasons Hotel, The Fairmont Hotel, Hotel Plaza Athenee and the Segal Corporation, to name a few.
He was selected as the honored Visual Artist at the esteemed Festival in Silicon Valley, California in 2016.

THE STAR OF SAN JUAN
Julia Rivera is a talented and well-educated painter who has pleased many art collectors with her daring use of color, the internal rhythms of her compositions, and above all, her playful and refreshing imagery.
In her painting, Rivera, who was born in the Bronx in 1965, and who studied art in Florence, New York, and the School of Plastics Arts of Puerto Rico, creates an attractive, fairy tale universe where carefully chosen objects – clocks, fruit, little toy cars, bottles and elongated chairs – are arranged in order to let us see their essence in a surreal but celebratory manner.
Mallarme pointed out that a good poem has to be enigmatic. I believe that good works also have to possess magic and mystery. A good work of art does not let us know everything. Influenced by Gorky, Miro, Chagall and Matta, and quite aware of what has happened in the field of ‘lite’ neo-figuration during the last three decades, Rivera combines humor and poetry to conceive well balanced scenarios where the mundane and metaphysical establish dialogue about time and the human condition.

SUPERPOWERS CONTROLLED BY UNKNOWN FORCES #3 TED CHAPIN
Mixed media 8 x 7 inch, edition 1/1 2017
Trump suffers an extreme case of narcissistic personality disorder. The potential consequences for the human race of this man’s mental state, now that he has acquired power sufficient to destroy civilization with the push of a button, suggests a story line from a vintage action-hero comic book: the fate of the world at the mercy of an all-powerful villain.
The number one action hero of Trump’s childhood was Superman, who was the leading 1950’s DC Comics character, the first action hero to have a TV series with a large and loyal audience tuning in every week. Fighting for ‘Truth, Justice and the American Way’, Superman’s enemies were an endless progression of comic book villains.
Over the many decades of Superman comics, some of the story lines have featured Superman overwhelmed by evil forces, a rogue villainous Superman who becomes a direct threat to truth, justice and the American way. That rogue genre of Superman comic books provided me a metaphorical stand-in for Trump for my new series ‘The Adventures of President SuperDude’.
In this series I have collaged comic book images of a rogue Superman into wall-hung three-dimensional cartoons composed of typewriter pieces, plastics, and other found objects, mechanically connected with nuts and bolts as well as springs. These machine-like constructions illustrate the dysfunctional, illogical machinery already evident in the nascent Trump administration.
They also foreshadow the likely disasters ahead resulting from the executive branch of the American government headed by a mentally ill man.

THE POWER OF THE PUSSY POP I
Kavi
2019

Inspired by the eloquent and lively music of the 1960’s and its efficacious voice for Cultural Revolution, as well as her own heritage, visual artist Kavi (Bombay, India) began her artistic career in 2003 as a Californian teenager.

In 2017, Kavi decided she was ready to share her creative vision and start telling her story. Today, she has developed a distinctive style involving a multi-layered approach which gives her the ability to encapsulate political phrases and poetry into each of her creative works. Kavi’s mixed-media art is unpredictable and possesses its own energy, her dedication and talent having allowed her to excel as an artist creating pieces that have generated great interest among collectors and gallerists alike.

Kavi lives in Daytona Beach, Florida. She sits on the board of the Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens, and is also part of the organization Art in the Alley Daytona, which is revitalizing the downtown with public art and murals.

Born in Vancouver, B.C., Spanish-Canadian artist Andrea Mindell Cohen’s educational background spans undergraduate studies in art history and photography at the Lorenzo de Medici School in Florence, Italy, fashion and textile design from the International Academy of Design and Technology in Toronto, Canada, and a BFA from Otis/Parsons College of Art and Design in LA.

After working many years in the fashion industry, culminating in her clothing line Agent 99, Andrea settled in Barcelona, where she began working as a textile and graphic designer. It was during this time that her collages, prints, and graphic creations started taking on a life of their own, leading Andrea to develop a fine art practice. In 2011, her practice brought her to Tel Aviv, Israel, where she completed her first series of paintings.
Currently residing in her home in Barcelona, Andrea’s work is exhibited and collected internationally. Her vision continues to evolve, drawing from her own colorful upbringing and extensive travel, steeped in a combination of traditional and contemporary cultural influences.
