Jockum Nordström

11.11.2011 · Posted in artist, collage

Its nice hav­ing friends look out for you. In this case, Steven Rid­dle passed along to me the work of Jockum Nord­ström. Jockum’s work has a del­i­cate hand, with flat­tened space and scenes of time pass­ing, but in an abstracted and non-linear fash­ion. Col­lage is promi­nent in his work, but it is inte­grated almost seam­lessly ...

Christian Herr

Steven intro­duced me to Chris­t­ian Herr, and I am very glad he did! I’ve been obsess­ing over inte­rior scenes and land­scapes as of late, and Christian’s work has both a lyri­cal qual­ity to it, as well as the over­ar­ch­ing sense of the strange. I am espe­cially a fan of the way Chris­t­ian has uti­lized trees ...

Monster Drawing at the Contemporary Museum

09.20.2011 · Posted in baltimore, fun

Another Bal­ti­more event I recently attended was Mon­ster Draw­ing at the Con­tem­po­rary Museum. Being the last event to be held in their space at 100 W. Cen­tre street (so close to where I live… I’ll be sad to see them leave there), I was excited to attend the event, which demys­ti­fies the draw­ing process as ...

Timothy Karpinski

The work of Tim­o­thy Karpin­ski was some­thing that I had seen long ago and admired, and this past week­end Steven reminded me of his sub­lime and very per­sonal works. Tim­o­thy is rep­re­sented by the Together Gallery in Port­land Ore­gon, and the works there revolve around a hand­ful of char­ac­ters. What I like about Timothy’s work is ...

Nudashank Online Shop

Alex Ebstein and Seth Adels­berger of Nudashank (pre­vi­ously fea­tured here) have really impec­ca­ble taste when it comes to choos­ing artists and select­ing work to be dis­played in their gallery. Dur­ing my visit, Alex and Seth men­tioned that they were in the process of open­ing up an online store, and I am so excited to see ...

Studio Visit // Steven Riddle

07.21.2011 · Posted in artist, baltimore, studio visit

Steven Riddle’s stu­dio is one after my own heart. The Baltimore-based artist is cur­rently in his sec­ond year of the Tow­son MFA pro­gram. Upon enter­ing his space, I was greeted by paper, color, and col­lage works. It was a bit over­whelm­ing (as col­lage stu­dios can be… so may scraps!) but I loved see­ing the nuts ...

07.28.2010 · Posted in artist, collage

Steven Rid­dle is an artist work­ing in Bal­ti­more, Mary­land. He uses col­lage to cre­ate abstracted, mixed media works. Steven uses a com­bi­na­tion of orig­i­nal paint­ing with oil-based mono prints or silk screens, assem­bling sharply-cut shapes and jux­ta­pos­ing them on back­grounds that have a psy­che­delic feel­ing to them. The col­ors are bright and com­plex with a sense ...
