A pair of eyes is often present in the work of Diego Singh.
Disembodied, floating and simultaneously reminiscent of Bowie,
mysticism and commercial Ad's for vibrant eye shadows. "To look into
one's eye's is to glimpse the very soul of a person", in the case of
Singh's works that cliché might actually carry its weight. In these
works the "eyes" may not be literally those of the painter gazing back
at the viewer in some lurid attempt at flirtation or interrogation but
instead, an invitation to stare back. To "lock eyes" is a shared
experience, you can only take away as much as the other person allows;
the power shifts constantly. The title of the show "Burning Bridges"
addresses this point; all bridges require two shores, two points of
departure merging over open water. That space in the middle, floating,
undecided and sometimes raised for passage, is crucial to understanding
Diego Singh's new body of work.

As controversial as the title suggests, “In Your Face” features a group of artists whose work is literally in your face. These works stare right back at the viewer as if to say: “Here I am. Look at me! Am I making you think?” The diversity of the artists in the exhibition reminds us that America the “melting pot” is a cliché, punctuating that we are not diluted within the proverbial stew. Rather, the artists comprise a patchwork quilt whose individuality remains intact. Like unique pieces of fabric, symbolically woven together, they convey their stories and personalities, and more fundamentally, their American experience.
The work suggests that the images we are viewing reflect fragments of our own experience, postulating that their existence is not apart from us, but rather part of us. We are asked to recognize that our own identity within this culture is inextricably linked to those who surround us. This relationship between the viewer and the work creates a fluctuation between an array of emotions- pride, guilt, sympathy, curiosity, recognition...These subjects represent our friends, neighbors, family members, and the strangers we pass on the street. Look closely and you may even see a glimmer of self recognition.

Marc Dennis’s masterful technique and subject matter come together to
create an exhibition of small to large hyper-realistic oil paintings of
intimate, seductive, and often perverse interpretations of the
interactions of animals, flowers, plants and other natural forces. With
a light-handed use of narrative and metaphor, his style of realism in
its lucid objectivity results in a type of familiar but unexpected
beauty. The contexts exhibited within his paintings hint at
contemporary dilemmas of everyday life, suggesting that the natural
world - as a metaphor for human behavior - is filled with
contradictions and complexities, but also moments of reflection and
instances of wonder.
The artist states, "I believe a viewer always brings something fresh
and personal to a work of art. My job as an artist is to hint at
something outside the picture; to prod and poke at the notions of
beauty and seduction, to tug and chew at the unseen and unmeasured
membrane that separates intellect from intuition, and fact from
fiction, sometimes coming away with a raw piece. My art is successful
when I leave my images open for a simultaneous emotional and
intellectual spark."
