7/25/2018 0 Comments Artist Spotlight-Robert Page Spanning realism and surrealism, light and fun to moody, Robert's work humorously advocates the idea that anything is possible.  Robert Page grew up in a small town in North Carolina where he learned a great deal about art and how welcoming people can be in the art community. After many experiences and much growth, he decided to approach his work and life anew. Robert now lives and creates in Austin, Texas.
He is a self-taught artist. Dedicated, he has been painting for nearly 20 years. He believes capturing the look or posture of a person is important in his art. Robert’s style is moody, incorporating humor, and surrealistic at times. Along with his figurative work, he has recently worked on a series of animal paintings that are light and fun. As he puts it: "Trying to depict the soul of a creature is challenging and I strive to create paintings that are thought provoking. I have been painting these large animals floating around for a number of years now, I feel like it is freeing. The idea in which anything is possible." You can check out his website here and his instagram here and you can meet him on Saturday, August 4th at Gallery Lucid. 7/25/2018 1 Comment Artist Profile -Chris Gilmer Christopher Lee Gilmer: Chris is an Austin muralist who has been inspired by datamoshing, quantum mechanics, and the over-saturated imagery of life. He creates artwork that explores the psychological effects of the physical mutations of the figure in time as though various realities merge. With a cubist approach, he explores the different outcomes of candid moments as one singular reality (creating multiple moments in a single moment), often blurring the lines between realism and expressionism; sometimes adding primitive line art to the entangling almost parallel poses.

7/20/2018 2 Comments Artist Spotlight-Melanie FarrisMelanie Farris is a visionary artist based in Austin, TX. She began drawing and painting after a friend introduced her to sacred geometry in 2012. Since then she has been on a journey to create visionary art to brighten the world! She is inspired by the mysteries of the cosmos and geometric patterns found throughout nature, just to name a few.

She works primarily in acrylics and creates hypnotic paintings intended to take the viewer to the unknown. Her art represents the familiar and that which is alien. Viewers may be compelled to touch her textured creations, inspired by naturally occurring harmonies and patterns in nature. Her paintings are meant to be meditative, eliciting calm and reflection.

11/15/2017 0 Comments Artist Spotlight - Greg Pettit Greg Pettit is a contemporary artist from Plano, TX. In 2003 he moved to Austin, eventually enrolling at the University of Texas College of Fine Arts. He graduated with a BFA in Studio Art in 20008. Greg first began painting in 2006 and by late 2007 and had abandoned most of his prior artistic direction to move forward with a body of work that corresponded to his growing fascination with the terror and beauty of trans-dimensional realities. Straddling the line between abstraction and polished rendering of sensible forms, Greg strives to create imagery that exists within a refracted sense of space and time. His work is characterized by depictions of abstract landscapes, transparent machine-like forms, fantastic creatures, and geometrically defined sentinel-like structures.

11/14/2017 0 Comments Artist Spotlight - Elliot Rogers Elliot Rogers Artist Statement "My paintings combine aspects of surrealism, abstraction, and psychedelic visionary art. Using vibrant colors, mathematical forms, and repetition, I construct hypnotic spaces, which reflect inner meditative visions and explore the connection between the self and the alien other. In the future, I will extend these concepts beyond the canvas, and create more immersive experiences through installation art, virtual reality, video, and music production. "Since 2011 I have been painting surreal mindscapes, mostly with acrylics. After graduating from the Santa Fe University of Art and Design in 2013, with a focus on studio art, I returned to my hometown of Austin, TX to pursue a life of art and music. I began sharing my art with the public in 2014, through live painting and social media. Since then, I have found a thriving community of like-minded artists, with whom I have been collaborating on various projects. When I’m not making art, I usually compose and produce electronic music, or perform live music. I have also explored interactive installation art and projection mapping, including a contribution to Meow Wolf’s “Nimbus” art installation in 2012."   11/14/2017 0 Comments Artist Spotlight - William Allan RossWilliam Allan Ross is an Austin native, born in 1993 with his twin sister, Jade. He began his forays into art and music at the age of 3. While he quickly discovered the potential of using art and music to cope with the chaos of the world, he gradually found that beauty could not only expand the mind but also help understand one's relationship to the world. "It is my belief that the universe expands at the same rate as what we understand to be consciousness. With love I try to expand these boundaries of light and pigment, furthering human understanding at large and hopefully allowing any individual participating to unlock their own personal potential."   11/13/2017 2 Comments Artist Spotlight - Dixon Stovall Dixon Stovall is a Texas-based musician and visual artist exploring the future via subconscious experiences. Heavily influenced by biomech, futuristic architectural patterns, physics, and mathematical fractals, Dixon's art and musical interpretations of this realm serve to challenge the viewer to create his or her own perception of future realities.   Tourmaline Todd Shepherd Todd Shepherd is known for his chaotically detailed paintings and unique jewelry creations. His background in architecture, nature, and music inspire these diverse compositions. The use of mixed media on large and small scales draws the viewer in, allowing them to discover details in the colorful lines and fades that fill the canvas. Performing in front of crowds and with experimental music as the backdrop, his paintings come to life organically with explosions of intricate shapes and symbols. Playful and expressive strokes combined with balanced symmetry invoke dimensional patterns that encourage exploration and moments of reflection. These designs translate well into three dimensions and have been used in jewelry production. He currently resides in his hometown and creative center of Austin Texas.
