Co-te-rie : A small exclusive group of friends or people with common interests.
A group exhibition, curated by Josh George (from TAD in Richmond, Va), featuring two international artists - Alexander Klingspor from Sweden, Tifenn Python from France, and three Americans - Jim Burke, Doug Chayka and Kevin Parr.
Alexander Klingspor, a native of Stockholm, has had numerous international shows. These include exhibitions at Arcadia Gallery in New York, Cercle Suedois in Paris, Gallery Steinlund in Stockholm and Albemarle Gallery in London. His work, he says, is inspired by the “intriguing mood of the nocturnal winter work of Stockholm and the relativity between light and dark.”
Tifenn Python was born in France, grew up in Tahiti and completed her studies at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto. She now lives in Brooklyn. Her roster of clients includes The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and Elektra Records. In 2007, Python spent six months in Shanghai where she created a new series of work. Her paintings have been exhibited in numerous one person and group exhibitions in New York and abroad.
Jim Burke graduated from Syracuse University in 1996. He chairs the Illustration Department at the New Hampshire Institute of Art and lives in Manchester. In his paintings, Burke employs powerful compositions and intriguing paint application to capture the subtle ambience of buildings that move him.
Doug Chayka received his BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1996 and was awarded a Fulbright Grant to further his graduate studies at Universitat der Kunste, Berlin, in 2000-2002. He has taught at College of the University of New York, Rochester Institute of Technology, Pratt Institute and The Illustration Academy in Richmond. His work has been featured in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Germany and the United States.
Kevin Parr is an abstract minimalist painter living in Los Angeles
who has shown his work throughout the United States. He is currently pursuing a BFA from Cal State Long Beach.
A preview reception for the artists will be held on Thursday May 5th, from 6-8 p.m. Show runs through May 28th, 2011.
