FLAT OUT | Eva Wylie 

Eva Wylie received her MFA from Tyler School of Art.  She was a resident at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2007 and is a 2006 Pennsylvania Council on the Arts grant recipient.  She was a member of Vox Populi Gallery (Philadelphia, PA) from 2004-2011 and has had exhibitions at Moore College of Art and Design, Fleisher-Ollman Gallery, Indiana University and Gallery Joe.  She has been a visiting artist at Graff Ateliers (Montreal, Canada), University of Tennessee, Knoxville and Allegheny College among others.  She currently serves on the board for Second State Press, a membership based printmaking studio located in Philadelphia, PA and is a faculty member at The Maryland Institute College of Art.

Wylie collects the images used in her work from various sources including the Internet, water bottles, travel magazines, advertisements, found objects and tourist photographs.  She seeks imagery to appropriate, whether it is a grand vista, a fall sale flyer or a worm-eaten leaf. When combined together, what emerges is the frequency, pace and place in which images create visual energy through the way they appear together.

Trudging Along in Search of Awe | Xenia Fedorchenko

Xenia Fedorchenko is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Lamar University, Beaumont, TX. Since joining the faculty in the fall of 2006, she has taught all levels of Drawing and Printmaking as well as Color Theory and graduate courses in Aesthetics and Criticism. Fedorchenko received her M.F.A. in Printmaking from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (2006) and her B.F.A. in Painting from Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts (2000).

Xenia Fedorchenko presents a body of work that asks: Have you stared at the clouds forming into fantastical formations? What happens when one no longer has time or innocence to spare for such activity? Does the prospect of hair brushing ominously speak of the to-do list? Does one find joy in commiserating with others? These prints arise from human weakness on the part of the artist searching for an imagined, engaged, physical self. The works share an ambiguous setting and multiple visual vocabularies: representational and abstract, atmospheric washes, tight and messy lines, marks that represent energy. Textual sources include a diary of a twelve-year old girl bought at Goodwill, junk e-mails, and letters from friends. These prints attempt to transcribe real experiences into an imagery that spans cultures and generations. One has to dare, but one is not entitled.
