Janell O'Rourke

My current body of work is focused on animal figuration, landscape, motion and stillness. I work from both observed and imagined imagery. In my work I want to express what is beyond the visible beyond the tangible, and enter into a transitory world where moments shape and surprise how we see.

Janell O'Rourke lives and works in Ridgewood Queens, NY. She has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions throughout the US. She is currently showing in a traveling exhibition, entitled, "Degrees of Density". Janell has been commissioned to create illustrations for books of poetry and essay collections. Currently she is working on a video and sound installation with the musician Vincent J. Evans.

Jason Paradis

In my art, there is a sense of contemplation or of reverie that speculates on fundamental mysteries–this being the result of a lot of camping under an expansive sky in the northern Canadian wilderness. There, questions emerged regarding the existence of something much larger than the immediate world. I am very interested in a moment where the past, present, and future collide. The pieces end up feeling like some sort of phenomenon (either natural or supernatural) has occurred, or is occurring.

Jennifer Gioe Peper

It has been a goal of mine to evoke a sense of familiarity with forms while avoiding blatant representation. I work with clay and glaze, sometimes using Dr Martin Inks, gesso or sand to get the surface texture I like. The pieces represented here are from a body of work entitled, "The Button Collection". They each range in size of about 5x5x5 inches,

For this series, I chose to study the textures of objects found in everyday life. Very often surfaces, whether of things organic or synthetic, flora or fauna, seem to imitate one another. The folds of fabric can mimic deep folds of flesh, or even certain kinds of tree bark. I like to portray these surfaces without intentionally showing where I've borrowed them from, allowing what is depicted as rough or unyielding to give way to the softer center. The structures look familiar but cannot be placed, reminiscent of something the viewer knows but doesn't exactly see.

Roberto Perinuzzi

My drawing's begin with lead and paper, I introduce a darker ambiance to my lager pencil drawing's, greed and violence of mankind is fleshed out in an Erie apocalyptic Astral environment, as a whole my drawing's point to another time of existence. My painting's are colorful and full of life, with a hint of Architectural shape some of my painting's have a mural like feel from a modern day fresco.

Biography:
Born in Italy, Roberto was introduced to the Italian culture at an early age, he
would spend most of his childhood among the Roman ruins, and its beauty in Architecture. All this will inspire him years to come. Roberto would em migrate to the U S, as a shy boy he withdrew in life only to find his passion for Art to explode. Roberto has shown his work in many Museum's, also taking home numerous award's. As one of Gallery 4222 artist, he is well liked and respected among his peers. Roberto will be showing his work at the Walt Withman Museum, and at the Borghesie vineyard this Fall.

Judy Richardson

The way we sense things: the way things look, smell, sound and feel is the impetus for the work I do. I look at everything, from the stuff in the $.99 store to architectural structures in Art History. I am compelled by the way things are made, and I take a lot of things apart to understand that better. I use bits and pieces of things from our daily lives to imply a human presence without the work being figurative.
