Art Exhibition by Sue Zola aka Glitter Art Diva – Website
Zola, who uses glitter to evoke emotion and recreate cultural icons and symbols of the 60s, 70s and 80s has been featured in high-profile TV and stage shows and in magazines for years; its attention-getting, bright, shiny, funky pieces a metaphor for our current and past times. Nostalgic too, because we can all relate to playing with glitter (and crayons) as children. Zola has been exhibited in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami where she has also been part of Miami Art Basel group shows in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Although originally from the east coast, Austin, Texas has been her hometown since 1999 when she jumped into her pick-up and headed out west from New Haven, Connecticut. As for exclusively using glitter in her work, “I have had a thing for glitter since I was in second grade. I’ve never out-grown it. Making glitter art over the past decade has allowed me to live outside the box. That’s also ideal for living in Austin.” Collectors include Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch and Billy Gibbons. Her art pieces have been seen on VH1, Will and Grace, The Food Network and Elle Magazine.
James Jankowiak paints organically, each work becoming a ritual of repetition. The organic composition of each piece is part of the evolutionary arch of the manner in which he operates. Specifically, the artist is interested in how simple form can evolve from one incarnation to the next – each step a mutation that replicates what science reinforces about our beginnings and the larger history of the universe. His paintings stand as a testament of a personal meditation on the process of being a living thing, of beginnings and endings, creating and evolving.
