Julia Rooney

Born 1989 in New York, NY. Lives and works in New York, NY.

2018 MFA, Yale University School of Art, New Haven, CT.

"Julia Rooney’s paintings are tactile and lush, glowing with internal luminescence. The paintings’ surfaces are gauzy, hazy, like the light of a phone on a nightstand or of some deep-sea creature. The abstracted forms recede and emerge within the picture plane, adding to their mystery and ambiguity."

Artwork Image: paper (red), 2018. Newspaper, tempera, Flashe, acrylic, ink and adhesives. 37 x 35 1/2 in.

Austin Furtak-Cole

Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

2009 MFA, Painting, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY. 2003 BFA, Green Mountain College, Poultney, VT.

"Austin Furtak-Cole’s disembodied hands and feet seem to be searching for meaning in a world that is inaccessible through its deceptively simple flatness. Gently cradling strange knots and blocky clouds, the hands are weighted down by their own tenderness and empathy in a hyper-saturated and fragmented reality."

Artwork Image: Exploratory, 2018. Flashe on Paper. 24 x 24 in.

Sacha Ingber

Born 1987 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

2013 MFA, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA.

"Sacha Ingber’s sculptures hover sacred and camp, transforming the banality of consumer and domestic items through materiality and abstraction. A barbecue and an air freshener become strange relics, a cheeseboard becomes an altar-piece. Sacha’s work lends a playful gravity to objects that are often overlooked and disposable."

Artwork Image: Egg Vending, 2018. Urethane, pigment, glazed earthenware, coin slot. 30 1/4 x 28 1/2 x 1 1/2 in.
