about the show
Sara Hunsucker's painting and drawings are created in series. Each series differs in the process in which the images were generated, but there are several formal, conceptual, and stylistic links. All of the work deals with themes of aggression, eroticism, affection, sexuality, humor, voyeurism, discipline, conditioning, and the body. The work is inspired by a vast and peculiar range of artists such as: Andrea Bowers, Valie Export, Norman Rockwell and Francisco Goya. The work is an investment in understanding the complexity of intimate physical and psychological relationships, both personal and external.
Adam Moyer's work hovers between pessimistic and optimistic. It is this “grey area” that holds the artist’s interest. Attracted to thing’s that are “falling apart,” Moyer’s material manifests itself in collage, found objects, and collections. By manipulating images Moyer creates new images that rhetorically reposition themselves. These methods of manipulation are often violent—slicing, scratching, snapping, and exploding—but these methods echo (and accelerate) the inevitable decay of the objects that surround us.
