Adam Frezza (b. 1977) and Terri Chiao (b. 1981) are a collaborative artist duo known as CHIAOZZA based in Brooklyn, NY. Heavily invested in the spirit of play and experimentation, Adam and Terri create fantastical works of art that incorporate unusual textures and unexpected forms. Humor, color and pattern intersect to immerse the viewer in the artists’ world of wonderment.
Langdon Graves creates drawings and installations that are steeped in mysticism, domesticity, and a surrealist examination of the intersection of the tangible and the unknown. In the liminal space of her work, Langdon delicately weaves together symbolic details found in belief systems and the systems of the human body. Langdon is a Virginia-born, New York-based artist with a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and an MFA from Parsons School of Design, and is an adjunct faculty at Parsons and Visiting Professor at Pratt Institute. Langdon has had solo exhibitions in New York, Florida, Virginia, Arkansas, and Massachusetts and attended the Fountainhead Residency in Miami, the Kunstenaarsinitiatief Residency and Exhibition Program in the Netherlands, the Object Limited residency in Bisbee, Arizona.
Lucía Rodríguez Pérez (b.1986) is a Brooklyn-based painter who creates surreal and dreamlike spaces where organic elements interact with architectural features such as gates, pillars, and balustrades, creating a dialogue between the natural and the man-made. In her nearly symmetrical compositions, Lucía works with a saturated palette, exploring what she describes as "the seductiveness of color". Each image depicts a new reality that is both unrealistic and believable, where light and space bend to form a unique and intriguing world.
Senem Oezdogan (b. 1980) is a Brooklyn-based mixed media artist whose works meditate on the visual phenomenon of optical illusions through color and form. Smooth gradients give a sense of volume to the bold shapes depicted in Senem’s work that are subsequently flattened by her illusionistic use of spatial composition. Her color palette is equally beguiling, disrupting foreground and background and constantly forcing the viewer to reorient their sense of perspective.
