​

Alex Z. Wang:

Alex Z. Wang is a contemporary painter exploring the interplay of light and shadow through abstraction. His work captures atmospheric transitions, using layered pigments and expressive textures to create depth and movement. Light in his paintings is not just an element but a presence—emerging through subtle shifts in color, contrast, and negative space. Shadow, in turn, defines form and emotion, adding a sense of mystery and transience. Influenced by dance, music, and cinema, Alex translates rhythm and motion into visual form. His oil paintings balance spontaneity with precision, drawing viewers into a world where light and shadow interact like performers on a stage. Based in New York, Alex studied at the Art Students League, Parsons, and Cooper Union. Alex’s work invites collectors into a dialogue between light, shadow, and emotion.

​

Alex Wetmore:

I craft contemporary collages using torn swatches of color from magazines as my palette. Layer by layer, I build impressionistic compositions that capture movement, emotion, and energy—transforming fragmented pieces into cohesive, vibrant imagery. My work invites curiosity, aiming to both delight and inspire.

​

Allie Sutherland:
Allie Sutherland is a New York-based artist and architect whose work explores the intersections of memory and dream and the human and spiritual. A Syracuse University School of Architecture graduate, she trained at prestigious classical architecture firms, Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Fairfax & Sammons before fully dedicating herself to painting.
Sutherland’s artistic work is rooted in spirituality and consciousness. Through sculptural impasto and layered color, her work captures the shifting qualities of light and its movement and transformation across surfaces.  This light is representative of energetics and everyday magic.
These ethereal works oscillate on a continuum between abstraction and representation, balancing free-flowing, intuitive gestures with a sense of order and permanence.  Her process begins with non-dominant hand sketches, allowing intuitive compositions to emerge before refining with oil paint.  By balancing structure with spontaneity, Sutherland’s work coaxes viewers to experience light and energy as something felt rather than simply seen.

​

Amy Kustra: 

As a Maine Artist, and someone who constantly seeks the light in the darkness, light enters into my work in myriad ways. First, I am very connected to the outdoors and regularly walk in the woods before I paint in order to wake up my senses. Then in the studio, I try to channel what I saw and felt onto my canvas.  This practice of “learning to see”  involves making room for  complexity,  seeing both the light and the dark, and seeing in a non-dualistic way.  I strive for this in my abstraction, by staying curious, replacing fear with curiosity, and staying connected with what excites.  Lastly, I try to see the light in others, in myself, and in the world.  Having a background in environmental science, a prior career as a doctor, as well as raising two children, my life is one of healing and hope and spreading light.

Christian Rodriguez Lopez:

Christian Rodriguez Lopez is an artist and writer in New York City. Viewing one of his paintings, large or small, reveals his passion for all of oil paint's attributes. Though he was trained as on observational painter, his transition to towards a lush mode of fauve abstraction has allowed him to prioritize expressive immediacy and intimacy through color and dynamic forms. The resulting images share take on wild, oneiric qualities and tactile, vivid, and dense fields of marks contribute to their 'all-over' quality. Aspects of his practice also take inspiration from 20th century Latin American cultural movements, namely the neobaroque, the marvelous real, and post-war concretism. His work has been exhibited at the Montclair Art Museum, the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery, the Belskie Museum of Art & Science, and is held in private collections in the United States.

​

Eva Olofsson: 

My paintings are created through the relationship with time, existence, and nature, opening dimensions for exploration. I use a mixed technique incorporating collage, screen printing, and acrylic paint on linen canvas or panels, in both small and large formats. The creative process is active, often resulting in multiple works created simultaneously, where motifs freely emerge, giving presence to the images.

I am fascinated by how plants, animals, and the energy of nature affect us and how we handle these emotions. The paintings are both exploratory and narrative, evident in the encounters they seem destined for. Thoughts about justice and transience help me build my paintings with layers of color where different worlds hide. Contrasts generate depth in my visual world. It is essential for me to convey the forces of nature with respect and openness, showcasing what is invisible and our relationships with nature.

​

Harry Bunce: 

Born in 1967 and raised in a small English village, Bunce considers himself largely self-taught. His work has much in common with Folk Art (his subjects being reimagined childhood heroes and villains, rabbits, foxes etc.) but defies easy categorisation. Cute? Maybe, but seldom completely cuddly.

Bunce has recently shown at the Saatchi Gallery, London and was featured in the 'Drawing a Line Under Torture' auction at Sotheby’s, London. He also has a growing following in the US with a visit planned for 2025.

io:

Our lives are dominated by sequence and repetition. The steady hum of daily routines often drowns out the subtler notes of idiosyncrasy. But it is the novel, non-sequential moments that deserve our attention. As an abstract painter, I use heavy body acrylics and matte mediums to create works that absorb light into soft pastel palettes, accented with solid black linework. My art reflects life's sequence but offers a break from that repetition by magnifying the finer, erratic moments, and juxtaposing them together. In a world overflowing with external stimuli, we often overlook the most vital source: ourselves. When you quiet the noise and examine the echoes of your past self, alongside the self you are now, what do you learn about the person you are becoming?

​

Jialei Cici Liu:

I was named after the eighty-eighth element radium (镭 léi). Radium’s luminous glow brought the invisible into view, a metaphor that parallels my work’s desire to illuminate the ephemeral--encompassing both wonder and peril— and reflects my exploration of life: creation and destruction, beauty, desire, and sacrifice. To me, color is not merely a surface element but a repository of memory and meaning. Drawing from the discipline of Chinese painting and its reverence for a single brushstroke’s energy and spirit, painting is my language to navigate cultural intersections, where abstraction and color act as vessels of memory, meaning, and feeling. I seek to transform fleeting moments into shared language and wonder. Histories, literature and interpretations of colors inform my material and visual choices, reflecting the complexities of human experience. My practice is steeped in curiosity, seeking to unearth deeper truths about personal belonging, displacement, and collective memory.​​​

​

Juan Canals:

Juan was born in 1964, in Barcelona.

His work results in pouring impulses onto the plane of paper or canvas. In some of these works, movement is present, perhaps because he has lived most of his life in a big city or the result of

inner turmoil. There is a bibliographical intention from an emotional perspective. Juan is interested in self-reference, and

despite being influenced by the cultural influences that preceded him, he refuses to follow the currents of what seems to be the trend at any given moment. "Painting is a mental space in which I feel free to create; it is a timeless space that is lived in the present."

​

Kasia Bancewicz:

Kasia Bancewicz is a painter and tattooer who enjoys bold colors, layered textures and improvised movement. Working mainly with acrylics and paint markers, their art is inspired by the bright, nostalgic feel of ’90s pop culture, the exploration of the feminine form, and the surreal. Each piece is meant to encourage viewers to play, finding their own meaning in the messes Kasia has created. ​​​​​​

​

​

​​​Keiko:
My artwork depicts landscapes with mixed media collage of watercolor, different types of paper and photos.  It is explored with colors, textures, and movements to bring back my memory and feeling at the place I want to go back to.  I want to create art that is open and brings more awareness to nature and place.

​​​Lucas Goubert:

When my Grand Father died in 1987, I inherited his Tarot cards.  I learnt how to interpret and share their meaning with the people who consulted me.  I see phosphorescence both on the tarot cards and in the people to which I read them.  In the cards I see a guiding light that inspires a conscious understanding of an unconscious reality.  In the people I see their individual auras with which they illuminate the world and other beings around them.  And although brightness can bring clarity and knowledge, light, when badly used, can also bring distortion and its splendour can become blinding.

I propose to exhibit at VDP a series of mayor arcana that I drew in 2022 and 2023.  My cards reflect the light and colours of unconscious Tarot knowledge and in parallel they warn against dazzling blindness.

Matthew Benson: 

I love playing with cameras. It’s as simple as that. Shooting makes me happy, so I try to do it every day. It’s like thinking, but it never feels like it. It’s instinctual, immersive, and the easiest way for me to slip into a flow state.

The more I shoot, the more I discover what kind of imagery moves me and hopefully others too. I’m drawn to high-contrast black-and-white photos with dynamic lines, bold shapes and authentic moments. My ideal photo uses these techniques to pull you in, invite you to linger, and evoke a real feeling.

I’m always looking to share my work and connect with other creatives. There’s nothing more inspiring than exchanging ideas with people who are just as passionate. At the end of the day, I just want to keep creating and keep the conversation going.

​​

​

Mattledo:

I just love to paint.

​

​

Michael Staats:

I like to create atmospheres of hightened interactions of images and colors in a format bordering on surrealism. Most works that are painted in oil on canvas, but also working in collage on paper, wood panel, or canvas.

​​

​

Nancy Rodrigo:

I began painting as a four year old, when my mother handed me the oil paint brush while her soap operas played in the background.  We were attempting to emerge from an abusive family environment, and painting was something that brought her, brought us, out into the daylight.  “okay, look, this is something one does,” and so, I began to do that too.
Drawing upon a multitude of these experiences, residual memories alongside complex, imagined worlds, I explored the work of both medical illustration as well as the surrealists and expressionists. The interconnectedness of life forms meld into surreal landscapes.  
As a person of Latina Catholic heritage with a Dominican immigrant mother, and Venezuelan father, I found grounding for myself practicing Judaism and the teachings of Buddhism. The elements of levity and lightness that transpire in my work can be viewed through those perspectives.

​

Rachel M Lee: 

Sporting Green (Portrait of the Artist’s Father) is the first oil painting in a familial series. My Father is a man of routine. Every morning, since I was a little girl, he would read the San Francisco Chronicle at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in his right hand. This moment I captured of my Father depicts him breaking his regular routine. Our kitchen was being remodeled at the time, so he did not have a proper place to sit and eat while reading the Sporting Green. He opted to read it later on at night time. He fixed himself a spot on the couch in the living room next to the server, where he could place a lamp to give himself some proper light. ​​​

She has exhibited and sold works in NYC, Austin, Pittsburgh, and throughout NC.

 

​

Robert Frankel: 

I am a visual storyteller. My artwork is intuitive and non-conceptual. I try to create energy and motion on the canvas by contrasting colors, shapes, and patterns with the aim of making an emotional connection with the viewer. Many of my paintings have a dreamy surreal feel to them. My goal is to make the world a happier place one painting at a time.
 

​

Sanagi:

All of my paintings are completely without preliminary sketches. I can't imagine how it will turn out because I leave it to the movement of my hands, letting my heart and soul hit the paper at that moment. Therefore, each time, I run my pen through a mixture of anticipation and anxiety. I have been drawing for many years, fascinated by the organic curves and aggregates created by nature, such as plants, insects, animals, and cells. I would be happy if you could feel the impression of looking into a microscope through a small piece of paper.

​

​

Savannah Green:

PORTALS are limitless and liminal, they are dreamscapes; windows into alternate worlds. I am forever fascinated by light and alchemy - the kinds we can see and the kinds we can only feel. Collage is a kind of alchemy to me. I revel in finding ways to make the opaqueness of collage on wood feel somehow lit from within, like stained glass, using the Gothic arch to evoke a cathedral like quality. I believe that the spiritual life and creative life are inextricably bound to each other, in love with one another, in eternal relationship - ever evolving & expansive. It is important to me to make art that reminds us we are all Earthlings here together sharing this beautiful dream called Life. No matter how we identify or where we hail from - we are all in this constellation of creation together, made of the same stuff, the sacred and mundane, a collage of miraculous existence.

​

​

Seitaro Yamazaki:

Since the Middle Ages, the sense of ambiguity, transience, and being uncertain has been called "yugen" and has been highly valued as a form of beauty in Japan. I have been trying to incorporate this sense of Japanese aesthetics into my minimalist contemporary art. In painting, sculpture, installation, media art, and photography, I am trying to capture the fleeting beauty that exists at the boundaries between the world that industrial civilization has torn apart, or beauty of the things that lurk and hide on the border between people's conscious and unconscious minds.

 

 

Sergio Russell-Diaz:​

I create pointillism artwork using black and colored technical pens. My artworks send the message of the patience it takes to produce pointillism art. It reflects the expression of many tiny dots coming together and producing several styles such as abstract, expressionism and minimalism. I spend usually 20 hours to up to 50 hours in a single piece and inspiration can come from a spectrum of circumstances. Whether deriving from taking a trip, sitting on the couch thinking, or a life experience. Some of the artists that inspire me are Pablo Picasso and George Condo. Pointillism in my opinion is not as popular as painting, and I hope to articulate this unique and elaborate technique.

Through expressive faces and body language, Sophia translates internal processes into visual form, offering a glimpse into the unseen.

Like the therapeutic process endeavors to achieve, her art speaks to the transformative journey of embracing fractured parts to become whole.

​

​

Trysha Antonelli:

Art has always been a large part of my life. As I grew as a person and an artist, I realized my true love was three dimensional art and polymer clay is the perfect medium for that. It provides a tactile experience that allows the creative energy to flow from my fingertips. I have become quite involved in the local Schenectady art scene and I am incredibly excited to be able to expand and see how far I can go.

Victoria Ramos: 

My abstract works in oil and cold wax emerge from a lifetime of exploring movement, vision, and inner landscapes. Drawing from my background as a dancer, photographer, and practitioner of depth psychology, I create pieces that serve as portals to realms beyond ordinary perception. The layered application of materials mirrors the layers of consciousness, while abstract forms invite viewers to engage with their inner landscapes. Whether working in pure abstraction or incorporating elements of collage and assemblage, my practice is grounded in creating contemplative spaces where beauty and intensity coexist and personal meaning emerges through direct encounter with the work.

​

​

Yusi Wang:

My artistic practice stems from profound observations and reflections on nature, time, life, and existence. Through a variety of mediums—etching, woodcut, oil painting, watercolor, pencil, and ceramics—I seek to capture fleeting moments: the flow of light, the traces of time, the breath of nature, and the subtle relationship between the individual and the cosmos.
