Bob Cross

Pompeii XXI

2 panels, 24"x16"

It is always interesting to meet artists that have researched the Eye On Art Gallery and see their works as a good match. This happened with Bob Cross as he visited the gallery a few months ago. We actually had a lot in common with his work as a printer at Tyler Press in NY and my background in printmaking and teaching. His works are quite different and very textural. It is like discovering a fantastic wall section from old ruins...and give meaning to his titles.

Rick Bennett

Sandbar #10

42"x36"

I just received two new paintings from painter, Rick Bennett. Rick's works have been very popular in the gallery with two earlier sales. His works are a pleasant reminder of vacation(s) with white sands, clear water, and colors that are never seen in the Midwest.

Vic Vicini

I am very happy to add the talents of Vic Vicini, MIchigan painter from Michigan. He brings another view of photo realism with a great sense of design and forms.

Vic Vicini

For the past decade or so, I rediscovered oil and have not looked backed. My subject matter focuses on objects of nostalgia. My parents both came from San Marino, Italy and you can imagine food was a big part of my upbringing. I enjoyed the culture of my heritage but my ambition as a youth was to discover America and all its charm. Memories of a typical American breakfast or dinner as a kid, going to little diners with my Dad and helping my little Italian Grandmother in the kitchen are things that are in my thoughts when I paint my still life's. Whether its vintage cars, old toasters or retro food packaging art, these are thoughts and images that play a strong influence in my art. It seems that if it is retro more than likely I will put it on canvas.

Zoey Frank

Teasels

Oil on Linen

22"x32"

I am very pleased to introduce the works of Zoey Frank, painter from Boulder Colorado. Zoey is a graduate from the Juliette Aristides Classical Atelier in Seattle, Washington.http://aristidesatelier.com/artist/zoey-frank

Yves Leterme

To Look is to Listen

Mixed Media on Paper

Another painting by the Belgium artist, Yves Leterme. I have five of his works in the gallery now and it has been a treat to look at the original, see and feel the subtle color and textural transitions in the works.

Eames

14.2"x13.6"

I will be carrying the works on paper of Yves Leterme of Belgium. Yves is a fantastic calligrapher with an international following. His recent works combine the calligraphic strokes, letters and a layered style of applying paint as the Abstract Expressionists did in the 50s.

Greg Huebner

Transition #9

Acrylic on Canvas

48"x48"

New painting in from Greg Huebner. Greg continues his abstract series with bold shapes.

Adam Collier Noel

Ad Lib 2011

36"x36"

The new works by Adam Collier Noel feature vintage nautical photographs and stereographs in combination with various collage and mark-making techniques. These are rare, one-of-a-kind snapshots that have been lost or tucked away for years. The artist has given the images new life and an enhanced narrative by superimposing them with text, ink, paint, gunpowder, graphite, epoxy and various other materials

Susan Brewer

The paintings of Susan Brewer will remain on exhibit through October. If you have some big walls that need a fresh look, be sure and take a look at Susans' expressive paintings.

The stunning bronze sculpture is by LA artist, Cindy Jackson.

Sarojini and David Johnson

Also on exhibit during the November Gallery Walk will be printmaking works by Sarojini and David Johnson. Both, accomplished printmakers and faculty members at Ball State University. Their innovative books incorporating their prints will also be on display. David and Sarojini both earned their MFAs in Printmaking at Miami University and have extensive exhibition records and awards. Their works on paper will be a great addition and look for the November Show.

Books and Journals

Eye On Art Gallery will feature several artists working in the area of handmade journals and books for the November Gallery Walk. The artists have a common tie to Ball State University and include professors in the English and Art Department as well as students and graduates.

Rai Peterson, Associate Professor of English at Ball State University. She has studied many small-press publishers and little magazines during the period, both their literary output and printing and binding methods. Recently, she has been exploring the use of vintage maps in the binding of travel journals. Laura Kuhlman, graduate of Ball State University, is currently a graduate student at the University of Iowa, where she is studying literature and is simultaneously a student at the Center for the Book. Laura makes intricate case-bound books from delicate papers with open spines. Karen Ruling, graduate of the English Department at Ball State University. Karen is the daughter of a costume designer, and her work shows unusual sartorial flair, both in choice of leathers and fabrics and elaborate closure systems using buttons and buckles. Maddy Witek, graduate of English and commercial printing departments at Ball State University. Her work concentrates on classically-bound case-books made with high-grade drawing papers and decorated paper-covered bindings. Additional works will be exhibited by David and Sarojni Johnson.

Jerry Points

John Lennon/Imagine

Oil on Linen

30"x40"

This is the second painting I have done from this phoo of John shortly after he and Yoko moved to New York. The first one was sold at the Stutz theme show for the Beatles a few years ago.
