Michael Gordon
Gordon’s art isn’t conventionally pretty, which is a reflection of his life...
impoverished and outcast. Gordon takes an unblinking stare at men and women at their primal worst. His images are mashed up, sore infested and decayed. The domain of his art is devoid of tenderness, compassion or caring. Gordon’s reoccurring theme no matter what the subject matter is transgression. His art transgresses so-called civilized social norms and rubs the viewers nose into the taboo territory that lurks in the hearts of madmen.
Lita Khron
Krohn paints her light-hearted content in a palette of flamboyant colors. Flaming reds, buttery yellows and glowing oranges are juxtaposed with verdant greens, turquoise blues and atmospheric violets. The colors are contained by vigorous black outlines, which further accent her complex patterning that tends to dominate her compositions. As if Henri Matisse went native. Krohn’s art is not afraid of being decorative. It is easy on the eyes, has a plethora of positive vibes and is comfortable, like your favorite arm chair.
Marcos Manzanero
Manzanero’s paintings aren’t concerned with urban problems like the jacking of Chinese shops or prepubescent strung-heads ruling the streets, no, his art is about eco-sensitive folks relating positively with their surroundings. His work illustrates utopian ideals; his painted universe is tranquil and stress free. In his landscapes beast and man co-existence is the norm, not the exception. He images are like an oasis of peace in the turmoil of cyber-life.
Jeannie Shaw Wright
Belize City photographer, Jeannie Shaw’s (Genie) work is larger than life. Her work undermines the viewers preconceptions as to what constitutes a photograph. When most people think of photography, they think of intimate 5" X 7" images or smaller. Things that can fit comfortably in a scrapbook. Shaw’s work is anything but intimate. Her studio portraits, figure studies and desolate nature pieces are immense. Consistent with her whopping grand scale, is her melodramatic lighting, Baroque camera angles and penchant for dynamic compositions. Her work screams of the vitality of youth, though at the same time has a pensive quality. Shaw’s work encompasses both sides of the emotional coin: it is brash and introspective at once.
