With glittering points of light and pulsing rays shooting across the canvas, Karen Tompkins’ new series, Constellations, evokes the grandeur of the stars and the mysterious depths of the night sky.
Khalilah Birdsong creates large-scale abstract paintings and installations that combine physicality of medium with finely calibrated balance. Her process employs loose, free gestures and has deep roots in her surrounding environment. Whether hunkering down in the North Georgia mountains, studying at Goldsmith’s in London, or relocating to the rain forests of Maui, Hawaii, Birdsong surrounds herself with nature and ferevently explores its influence. Such effects are sensationally evident in her work
Rachel Morrissey created her newest body of colorfully saturated narrative paintings with the Colony Hotel in mind. With BLOOM, Morrissey melds imaginary, strange and inventive flowers with truthful depictions of Florida’s native fruits and fauna. Using themes of motherhood, mental health, and more recently life with Lupus, Morrissey employs organic forms to enticingly convey her daily experiences.
British artist, Lucy Soni is inspired by the idea of control versus chaos. Her compositions start as small scribbles on paper and communicate a sense of urgency. Through tracing, enlarging, repeating, and layering, Soni transfers these forms to large scale canvases. This process produces carefully balanced paintings which unite impulsive markmaking and high art. Soni graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Painting from Chelsea College of Art in 1997 and lives and works in London.
Born from the traditions of minimalism, both in painting and musical composition, Jeff Chester’s new works use the constraints of repetitive patterns and objects as a creative catalyst. They explore the idea that limitation can be a form of liberation.

British artist Natasha Law is recognized for her high-gloss paintings on paper in her distinctive silhouette style. Law captures intimate moments of females during various stages of undress. The painter’s decision to keep the images visually bold, yet simplified down to abstracted cut-out shapes, suggests the underlying strength of the everyday woman. Her use of color, tone, and contrast creates a contemporary feel to her paintings and drawings that have become her signature.
