Scott Holloway opened his latest solo show at the Secret Society Gallery this past March 4th. There doesn’t seem to be a website for the gallery, however Scott did add the paintings for this show to his blog. This “new work is a continuation and expansion upon concepts found in his previous major series, the contemplative and reductive: Holy Relics, Adam, and Sacred Heart.” One of the paintings is inspired from the theme of the “Three Graces”, once painted by Bottecelli as well as Raphael. Scott takes a different approach with his, showing just the arms, formed in a way to protect the apple of abundance. The show features four new paintings, shown below, but make sure to check out Scott’s site for more news and print releases.

The Compositions of Jim Kazanjian
It’s been far too long since I have posted any sort of photography; it’s always on my mind but I just never seem to get around to it. So, I have some amazing photographs to share from Jim Kazanjian, an artist working out of Portland, Oregon, although he doesn’t actually take the photographs. What you are seeing are new images created from Jim using appropriated photographs, much like the photos are ingredients ready to be mixed up into something new. When I first saw these images I was reminded of Jerry Uelsmann, who will take the photographs and then create new images int the darkroom alone by combining photographs. Jim’s work however has a more decayed, destructive, and unnerving feel to them. When I first saw the image below, wondering what the hell happened to that house crossed my mind before thinking about any sort of digital trickery. In a way, it’s like each one of these structures are presented like portraits.

The Art of Jael Segura
Originally from the Caribbean, Jael Segura was brought to the United States in 2002 and now is a fine art student, and freelance illustrator. Her works are created in a variety of mediums, such as colored pencils, digital painting, and even screen-printing. I like that she has a strong style, one that stays consistent with all of the work that she does. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next. Check out her portfolio for the rest of her work, and make sure to check her blog and other social network sites, to keep with any news.

“Girls with Stars in Their Hair” Print set by Gene Guynn
Almost a year ago in June, Gene Guynn created a series of graphite and watercolor works entitled “Girls with Stars In Their Hair” (featured). There were 10 paintings in this series, but he slimmed it down to 4 for this set, which must have been a hard choice. The prints are 5″ x 7″ with a 4″ x 6″ image area on Somerset Velvet, 100% cotton rag paper. Signed and numbered in an edition of 200, and a signed certificate of authenticity. The best art is, this set is under $20.
