CHRIS MCGINNIS: Fragments no. 20
Chris McGinnis grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania during the waning years of America's post-war industrial paradigm. Shortly after his birth the steel mills closed and the coal industry consolidated. This region braced for an economic winter from which many communities have yet to emerge. As both artist and curator, McGinnis' research continually returns to notions of growth and decline relating to technology and the human experience. Projects inspired by this research chronicle the pursuit of progress and its effect on all facets of society, ranging from industry and community to science and entertainment. Iconography representing the abundance and promise of industrial modernism is reminiscent of a time when American optimism was specifically manifested in large-scale construction and the built environment.

Dunes XXVII
The eye makes its way to the water through the dunes and beach grass. This piece is part of an ongoing series created with a palette knife and displays unique layering of color and abstract perception. When beginning this particular piece, I wanted to depict the dunes in a very large format and show the expanse of the changing sky. The painting is on gallery wrapped Belgian linen with clean, natural edges. It comes varnished and wired to hang.
Pliages
"Japan, a fascinating but also disturbing country, is central in my work.Its complexity resides in the fact that it has various faces (art, gastronomy, tradition but also modernism) which blend with the numerous stereotypes of the japanese culture in western countries.In my paintings, I question the notion of strong but intouchable identity of the land of the Rising Sun by enlightening its numerous different caracteristics.Thus I use without distinction images of the "kawaii" culture and esthetic (which means cute), as much as images representing japanese tradition (geisha, engravings, origami, sushi), or urban tokyoit landscapes.I wish to emphasize the contrast of an ambivalent society: on the one hand a society that is deeply attached to an omnipresent culture and tradition, and on the other hand, a society that is constantly racing with technology and modernism. I express it with a very pure pictorial technique but full of details and clichés."
Jamaica Resort
An aerial view of a resort with an open air hotel and its uniquely shaped pool. What I tried to achieve is to capture the moment, and lets the image tell the story about a this place, making the pool the main focus. I then tried to extract the graphic essence and use my color sensibility to pull the composition together.

16×20 in. Unframed Martyn Thompson Alien – Light Blue
In Martyn Thompson’s alien series, these jellyfish are transformed into other worldly creatures, existing as repetitious form in a floating abyss. The series contains a varying palette of blues and grays, recalling the range of tones in the natural sea environment. Interestingly, the form changes very little from image to image, yet the overall feeling the image conveys is quite dramatically different, depending on the color scheme. In this image, the dark, rich blue imparts a certain feeling of depth, as if the viewer is peering into a deep, oceanic world. -Luster Fine Art Prints
30×40 in. Adam Rankin Sarah
The Moving series is a set of portraits taken in the weeks leading up to the sale of the family home. In each portrait, the subject floats above and through a shared memory, heading towards something new and undocumented, collectively redefining what the idea of home and family is becoming.Moving was shot in Edmonton, Alberta in the summer of 2005. The 5th member of our family, the red canoe, has been around as long as I have. Oddly enough, it has never seen the water and was sold shortly after theMoving series was taken, along with the family home. This particular image was shot in a shopping mall parking lot close to our family home. The mall has since been demolished and is now a bunch of condos. Both my sister and I spent a lot of time there over the years. On shoot day, my Dad was on lighting and grip and my Mum correlated film. The canoe was shot on location supported by scaffolding.
