Arthur Fink (Portland) documents the work and energy that goes into dance -- not just the final performance. He records not only the dancer’s or choreographer’s story, but also his own impressions of what he sees and feels. He believes that “too often this process is ignored, as image makers look only at the final result -- the dance.”

[Noriko Sakanishi](https://norikosakanishi.com) (Portland) began her career as an artist sculpting stone and wood. Her approach to art, any form of art, is largely intuitive, but this is certainly true of her drawings: she sets the formal limitations to what she is about to do, which are usually geometric, and then releases herself in the format.

[Yelena Fiske](http://yelenafiske.weebly.com) (Portland) was born in the large industrial city of Podol’sk in Soviet Russia. In the wake of the fall of the USSR, she became fascinated by the ideas of Kandinsky and Malevich, abstract artists whose work was banned during the Soviet era. She moved to Portland in 1999 where she graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a Fine Arts degree. Her present work reflects her fascination with perception of the world around her, and Gray II addresses a crumbling and renewing structure of society.

[Isaac Jaegerman](https://www.isaacjaegerman.com/) (Portland) is a Portland native. He attended Bowdoin College where he became interested in the intersections between Op Art, geometric and organic abstraction, and artists’ interpretations of patterns and systems of natural growth. Through the meditative act of repeated cutting and careful subtraction, he creates cut-paper works that are both flexible and fragile, move between two and three dimensions, and challenge the conventional role of paper as a substrate for added marks and materials.

[Mark Barnette](https://www.mark-barnette.com/) (Portland) is a native of New England and was brought up to revere the pre-revisionist history and the 19th and 20th century landscape artists that formed Americans’ notions of the region’s character and how it ought to look. His photographs synthesize the influences that defined our landscape expectations with the effects of time and economic violence and with the human longing for order and beauty. Beauty without sentimentality is a primary goal of all his work.

John Wilson (Portland) is an emerging artist who received his BFA from the University of Southern Maine in 2017. He is primarily an abstract painter and likes to draw inspiration from natural phenomena. “I like my paintings to bring a chaotic feel to the viewer, as if the painting’s composition is in the act of changing, moving, shifting. This piece began as an exploration of the cataclysmic events that occur in outer space - black holes, exploding nebulae - but eventually morphed into a more earthbound study of ocean water as seen from above.”


John Wilson, "Water" - acrylic on canvas, 36" x 36" - $400
