JAMIE ADAMS
Llives and works in Los Angeles, California. Adams uses a traditionally
conservative format of twelve-inch square oil-on-linen that lends
his work an air of old-world realism, but the subject matter is
highly provocative, giving the work an edgy quality. The graphite
drawings are interpretations of images taken from photographs
that have been submitted by individuals to swinger magazines.
He juxtaposes the "high" and "low" with beautifully
rendered landscapes and cloudscapes to further amplify the contradictions
of the cultural life of southern California today. The narrative
components are further explored with site-specific titles such
as Big Sur and The Valley. Adams received his BFA and MFA from
Boston University and has also studied with Parsons School of
Design in Paris. He is the recipient of two Massachusetts Artist
Fellowships. |

ISABEL BIGALOW
Lives and works in New York City. Before studying art, Bigelow
was a Comparative Religion student at Harvard. Her scholarly
exploration of spirituality continues in her works today, with
landscapes that convey a simple sense of reverence. Bigelow
creates her surface quality by applying viscous gesso to the
untreated panel in a criss-crossing series of strokes. The oil
paint that she later layers over the gesso, seeps and melts
into every groove of the brushed surface, creating a diaphanous
effect.
Bigelow's paintings are infused with a Japanese sensibility
of perspective and composition. The use of silhouette derives
from an interest in shoji, paper screens that filter light and
reveal shadow. After Harvard, Bigelow went on to get her MFA
at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She has received many
awards including residencies at Yaddo, The MacDowell Colony,
The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the Millay Colony
for the Arts. She has also received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation
Award. The works on view at Mulry Fine Art are part of her Field
series. |

DIETMAR BUSSE
Was born and raised on a farm in Germany. He currently lives
and works in New York City. Anna Sui writes that Busse, a former
fashion photographer, "draws from his background and experience
in capturing beauty and images with the camera. Mr. Busse steps
from behind the lens to a bold position as the model. The artist
essentially becomes the artwork by becoming a human canvas.
He makes quite innovative use of the parts of a flower and creates
the image against the backdrop of his own body." Sarah
Brown adds, "What is most moving, most beautiful about
this work is its ability to exist in such a delicate balance--fragile,
fleeting, yet rendered inherently permanent by its medium. Perhaps
that's the real meaning of beauty--finding the poetry in something
so temporary, so precious, something, that as Busse notes, 'can
break at any moment.'" |

LUIS CASTRO
Lives
and works in New York City. Castro graduated with a BA in Architecture
and an MA in Restoration and Conservation of Monuments from
the Central University of Venezuela. His contemporary sculpture
reflects an evolution of this early interest in preservation
and architecture.
Castro uses found objects such as limestone and bluestone from
abandoned buildings and construction sites in New York City
as his raw material. He then hones and shapes these urban artifacts
to a scale that matches the cup of a human hand. Perfect spheres,
pure and evocative, speak to the most basic human ideals of
perfection, continuity, and completion. Castro is the recipient
of numerous citations, including residencies at Yaddo and The
MacDowell Colony. |

ROXANNE LOWIT
Llives and works in New York City and Paris, yet as Fritz Gruber
says, "She seems to be everywhere at the same time."
For decades, Lowit's photography has documented our society's
fascination with celebrity culture.
From Studio 54 to the catwalks of Paris, from doyennes to dwarves,
Lowit captures the obscure and the over-exposed. Her work has
a spontaneous, yet timeless quality.
Fritz Gruber sums it up best: "Whereas the aggressiveness
of the paparazzi is justly being hated, Roxanne's gentle, inconspicuous
approach seems to be loved, even longed for." |

PATRICK WILSON
Lives and works in Los Angeles. Wilson is an abstract painter
who strives to smooth away all traces of gesture, leaving clean
fields of rectangular color. As art critic Kenneth Baker notes,
"What keeps Wilson's work from turning brittle are subtle
adjustments of measure, finish, scale, and internal light, that
are the painting's content."
Wilson holds a BA from the University of California, Davis,
and an MFA from Claremont Graduate School. Wilson's work was
recently purchased for inclusion in the permanent collection
of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Smithsonian
Institution's Museum of International Modern and Contemporary
Art. |
