Paul Fabozzi: Data Walks

Walking becomes a data collection occurrence when Paul Fabozzi wanders through the streets of New York City, taking photographs, counting steps,calculating time spent strolling, deeply concentrating on the immediate
surroundings, grasping and willfully holding onto the moment, the experience, the colors, activity, cultivating an acute awareness of the encroaching urban environment.  This is Fabozzi’s creative journey in the process and execution of his recent series, Data Walks. From this collective experience evolve paintings, topographical abstractions,
structural blueprints for space, memory and place.  Within the format of the rectangle, lines join floating shapes, creating a shift in perspective but also a loose visual guideline.  Metamorphosis occurs, as experience becomes data meticulously transformed into sophisticated visible realities, clearly demonstrated in Paul Fabozzi’s recent series andinstallation.

Douglas Witmer: The Black Keys and other paintings

A visual tension, of sorts, is perceived by the intricate duality existing in Douglas Witmer’s paintings.  The subtle vs. the bold, color vs. white, contrasting line or shape vs. the delicate surface, graphically strong vs. loosely geometrical.  A definite interplay exists between the positive and negative space. Effortless brushstrokes employed, the blank space demands significance. It is certainly not a void, definitely not silent.  Witmer’s paintings are reduced to the purest elements of color, form and surface. Dramatic, purposeful, expressive, intuitive, minimal, relational, simple and serene characterize his recent series.
