FEATURED ARTISTS
ANDREW RINGLER
Growing up in a small rural corner of Ohio, Andrew Ringler was presented with a landscape that would inspire his curiosity and propensity for finding beauty in the most unlikely places. It was a landscape that offered a deluge of sensory experiences rooted in broken down items and domiciles. Disused factories and abandoned buildings became frequent haunts that taught him the value of things long disvalued by others. Andrew claims they are "old, unused, and yet they used to have a purpose. There's something provocative there." As he notes of his curiosity, "I want to peel back the old layers of wallpaper to find what's hiding underneath."
The art is, to him, an instrument of vague personal expression focusing on emotion. This emotion is often expressed by work that lies outside of conventional notions of beauty. An abandoned house may look melancholy and nearing collapse, but one is enticed to enter nonetheless. These things materialize in his work through abandoned, industrial, and archaic visualizations, as well as a frequent tendency to contrast several elements that represent distinct emotions.
Alan Laird
It is my belief that the gift imbued within an artist must be given to the world as a labor of love, even when much struggling must occur to produce the art. Each paint stroke divinely emblazoned with with infinite colors, shades, and hues are given from my heart unto waiting eyes, in hopes of striking unique chords which resonant within the hearts of all who view my images from beyond the mist. The white mist which borders each image that I create, is like a magic doorway to a world where all shapes, sizes, and colors are perfection in progress, having infinite possibilities
Francisco Halili
Emerging photographer from Miami, Francisco believes that each day is a captured memory and an opportunity to keep that eternal memory alive. Francisco uses his camera as a memory bank of sorts snapping away at the little things that make his life unique. From road trips to model strutting on catwalks, Frank delivers stunning images of his past present and future.
