"Anniversary" at Milo Gallery, is a celebration of the gallery's first year of existence, and featured new work by the artists who exhibited in it. Milo Gallery had an exciting first year and showed strong and complicated work by an incredibly talented group of emerging artists from all over the country and Europe.
The artists represented were:
Mark Schultz, a Washington state based artist, builds collages using nothing but recycled ephemera to create multi-layered new subject matter inspired by pop culture.
John Patrick Salisbury, based in Louisiana, paints large-scale abstracts on wood panels, using resin, house paint, ink, wax and insects among other things.
JC Jaress, a Los Angeles artist, creates multiple-canvas oil paintings that depict provocative scenarios with a tightly cropped, filmic sensibility.
Amy Bird, based in Los Angeles, paints deceptively simple scenes of California and it's sometimes dichotomous lifestyles.
Steve Gorman, also in Los Angeles, creates digital versions of his original collages, dissecting subjects ranging from the space program to psychtropic drugs.
Ellene Wundrok, a painter from New York, infuses overheard words and phrases from the streets in her otherwise delicate and monochromatic canvases.
Helena Gullström, a Swedish artist living in Los Angeles, sculpts sensuous and feminine figures using the unlikely mediums of cement and steel.
Jennifer Martin, a London based artist, uses fashion and beauty advertising for the inspiration behind her practically abstract oil paintings of women.
Dean Styers, based in Los Angeles, uses a palette of black and white to combine vintage figurative imagery with bold text to subvert the preconceived meaning of it.
Jill Sykes, also in Los Angeles, creates oil paintings of botanicals that play with color, depth and negative space.
And Michelle Stitz, based in Santa Cruz, uses oil paint embedded within layers of resin creating thick blocks of hazy forests and natural scenes.
