Artist Statement: Walter Matthews
"In my painting, I use an eclectic approach to creating pictorial space within a contemporary context. I first begin by drawing, then painting. This creative process enables me to unify the layers of fragmented information. The layering of information, creates a context for subject matter and simutaneously reveals and obscures the image to the viewer."- Matthews
Artist Statement: Brett J. Lindstrom
"Through the process of painting I attempt to leave this world behind and work out those details from my past that burden my psyche. Through the use of color, expressive mark making, and rhythm through repetition, I seek to remind the viewer that life is fleeting and that visual movement can be used to convey this idea aesthetically." - Lindstrom
Artist Statement: Matt Coombs
"My paintings examine the relationships between the construction of civilizations and individuality. The work is representational, but contrary to classical painters who dealt with concrete symbols reflecting tradition, my paintings are meant to access the associative memory of the individual. No object has direct meaning, which creates a piece that is more than the sum of its parts." - Coombs
