PROFONDO
GIALLO (pictured left):
Scott Lickstein's Profondo
Giallo project began as an obsession with movies, particularly those
from the Italian pulp/horror film genre, known as Giallo. The artist,
who studied video art under a professor from M.I.T., used a computer program
to capture more than 20,000 individual frames from a vast assortment of
movies on DVD. He then digitally combined and altered selected "stills"
to form collaged images. Many of the Profondo Giallo images have
previously been produced as prints and as purely digital art. For the latest
version of the project, the artist rendered the digital mash-ups in paint,
adding another layer of depth and strangeness to these striking compositions.
SAVE/PRODUCE (pictured

Elisha Sarti's SAVE/PRODUCE
features The World According to Gooogle, a new series of collages
on canvas. The source images for this series were derived from Google Image
searches for subjective words like "pretty," "worst" and "perfect." The
resulting canvases read as a bizarre yet captivating "pictionary."
Also exhibited in SAVE/PRODUCE
are Elisha's large scale paintings: ENVY(Printed Line) and SAVE/PRODUCE.
These two 7 foot x 7 foot paintings depict imagery taken from the materials
the artist used to build their surfaces: saved junkmail and paperboard
boxes that once contained food or other goods. The pictures and symbols
in these works are based on advertisements and marketing designs so the
colors, shapes and phrases have a familiar quality. They are recycled images
on recycled surfaces, transformed by scale and collage into something new.
MAKE ART/TAKE ART (pictured
below):
Make Art/Take Art
is a collaboration between Scott Lickstein and Elisha Sarti and perhaps...you!
For this project, the artists created 12 black ink drawings on collaged
backgrounds as well as a stack of "blank" collaged surfaces. The drawings
are displayed in a grid formation; interested parties are invited to take
one of the exhibited drawings in exchange for their own drawing, which
must be completed on site using one of the provided blank surfaces and
black ink marker or can choose to buy one instead. The drawings on display
will be constantly changing, so that a participant may take a piece that
has not been drawn by Elisha or Scott but by a random participant. For
the duration of the exhibit, random drawings will also be available for
sale (blind - you don't know which piece you will get) online for $15.
