FLUX ( the state of constant change in which all things exist): a diverse collection of work by emerging local and national artists including Kombo Chapfika (Atlanta), Jason Deganis(Buffalo), Eric Eaton (Richmond), Kevin Orlosky(Richmond) and Nicole Rosato (Boston).
Kombo Chapfika uses his work to reconcile the seemingly disparate elements of his upbringing in Zimbabwe with his experiences in America. His recent body of work is based on the notion of Afro-futurism, creating a new identity informed by the past, present, African and Western culture.
Jason Deganis is a printmaker who employs a variety of processes to create his strongly textural work including lithography, silkscreen and applied coffee pigment.
Eric Eaton is a multi-media artist and film-maker. He creates collages on small glass slides using various transparent materials.Initially created to be projected, for Flux the work will be shown as enlarged photographs.
Kevin Orlosky expresses his concepts of social responsibility and concern for humanity through his art. With thoughtful symbolism, he portrays the negative impact of man on nature and the seductive and misguided pursuit of the “American Dream.”
Nicole Rosato's work currently involves her in the unending exploration of the human body. The series If you were a place you’d be…addresses the similarity between the lines on one’s body and the lines on a road map. Each work utilizes a map of the place chosen by the individual represented.
