ReplyDeleteStatement
ReplyDeleteInspired by the simultaneous existence of both the fantastic and the horrific, I create work that explores destruction and aggression as processes with which to create something new and captivating. Using a variety of methods and materials, I utilize hands-on processes, such as painting and dry point engraving, as well as passive processes, such as chemical reactions, in order to create my works.

ReplyDeleteBIO:
ReplyDeleteOriginally from Southern New Jersey, Kelisa Valinote will receive her BFA in Photography & Digital Arts in 2015 from Moore College of Art & Design located in Philadelphia, PA. Throughout her time at Moore, her work has been a part of the Student- Run Gallery shows located on the campus. She recently collaborated in a group animation with her classmates that premiered this March at the Disposable Film Festival in San Francisco, CA. She is currently preparing to have her most recent work shown at the Society Hill Synagogue located in Philadelphia, PA.
Artist Statement:
Kelisa Valinote draws inspirations from personal, conceptual, and intimate photography focusing on family and close relationships to reveal identities and stories. Currently, she is experimenting with combining sculpture, audio and text to help expand her fine art photographic ideas as a functioning whole. She strives to develop photographs that rely on intimacy and private, yet personal lives of those around her to generate what it means to feel and be alive.

Bio:
ReplyDeleteVictoria Tolley is a fine art photographer from rural southeast Pennsylvania. She is currently attending Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is a BFA candidate, graduating in the spring of 2015. Victoria has been displayed in multiple gallery shows including a senior thesis show at Methacton High School in the spring of 2011. She recently collaborated with nine other artists to produce an animation that was accepted into the Disposable Film Festival in San Francisco California, which premiered in March 2014.
Statement:
A deeply conceptual and experimental artist, I focus on meshing conceptual complexity with experimental process. My work currently focuses on the violent nature ingrained in humanity, and the physical implications of this ingrained violence on the natural world. I work with many materials, and reference nature with those materials, focusing on naturally occurring elements such as metal and wood. The destruction and decomposition of material has recently played a large part in my work, experimenting with chemical processes to corrode metal, decaying what is supposed to be an invulnerable material.
Bio: Born in Kyoto, Japan in 1992, Jocelyn MacDonald moved to the United States at a young age and grew up in small-town Stillwater, Minnesota. She has a strong interest in portraiture, and her primary mediums are oils, charcoal and graphite. She is currently in Philadelphia, attending Moore College of Art and Design, expecting to graduate in the spring of 2015 with a BFA in Fine Arts and a minor in Illustration.
ReplyDeleteStatement: am interested in developing a strong understanding of oil painting and drawing mediums through representational imagery, both through traditional means and through the unexpected. My main focus is portraiture – capturing specific individuals in a respectful manner, suitable to the environment they inhabit. Figures come out through portraits of light and shadow, rather than detail. I aim for an immediate but deliberate approach – drawings and underpaintings are done quickly and intuitively, “by eye”. The results are images that are free and open from the beginning, yet are definitive and concise.
I currently focus on the physicality of my work and how it relates to me as the artist. As a small and diminutive person, I am drawing self-portraits that are larger than life, taking my own small stature and turning it into a physically powerful and visually dominating force. The large scale forces my hand to be visible in the mark making, and I leave a record of my presence having been there through the process of working such a large surface.
Artist Statement
ReplyDeleteMy work explores everyday life of others as well as myself with the use of photography as well as other newfound mediums.
With fine art and commercial influences, my art fuses many transparent layers of art to emphasize my view of the world around me.
My personal life can often be seen in my work. Experience of life that was once unknown lends itself as a vision of work to create a new understanding of life and the mark we leave on one another as well as the world.
Moments in which are seen for a short amount of time which are easily forgotten about are the moments worth making art about. As an artist, my goal is for the viewer to not only witness a small window of time in life but be able to experience that moment for themselves in a way that best suits them.
BIO
Amy A. Trout was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Amy has been greatly influenced by life in the city as well as it's surrounding areas. Now living on the outskirts of the city, this often spills over into her work.
She is now currently introducing sculpture as well as other art forms to create a relationship between Photography and the physical form of other mediums. In doing so, the hopes are to represent a lasting moment of time which originally would either have been unseen or soon forgotten about.
Studying Photography & Digital Arts at Moore College of Art & Design has greatly influenced the way she creates. Not only taught the skilled practices and techniques of Dark Room and Digital Photography, she has been taught to create work outside the boundaries of what the typical frame has to offer.
Life itself is the greatest influence to create. It is life that rapidly changes in time, emotion and form thus influencing new visions to create.
Amy's biggest accomplishment with hew art would be for the viewer to not only witness a small window of time in life but be able to experience that moment for themselves in a way that best suits them.
Bio
ReplyDeleteBorn in 1990, Alyssa was born and raised in a small suburban town outside of Philadelphia. In 2012, Alyssa transferred from community college, where she got her AFA in painting and drawing, to Moore College of Art and Design where she is currently studying photography and digital arts.
Statement
I am always finding a reason to travel and be in places that are unfamiliar. I gain inspiration from social situations and how people interact via social media and other mobile ways of the web. I work fast and to the point. My favorite medium changes weekly. I am interested in objectivity of a 2-demensional image, how it exists in a specific space, and how the audience experiences the work.
