California-based Korean-American painter Kathy Park explores the fundamental struggles of humankind through a surreal, symbol-rich aesthetic. Transcending
literal depiction, her work blurs the line between wake and dreams, mining
images and hallucinations from the deepest subconscious. The series titled
Places He Takes Me was inspired by observing her daughter while sleeping,
which raised questions on the unplumbed territory of oneiric visions. In slumber,
we do not have full control of our thoughts and actions and enter the realm of
the unknown. Park envisaged surreal landscapes, where forms collapse and
colors blend into biomorphic abstraction, giving life to grotesque narratives of
confusion, fear, and disorientation. Symbolism is also a powerful expedient in
Park’s oeuvre, such as the goat found in the Settling In series. In reference to the
Old Testament’s scapegoat, the animal stands as a metaphor for humankind’s
struggle in finding their own identity. Carrying the sins of humanity, it roams in
the wilderness or hides in abandoned places on a journey toward understanding
and expiation. Through personal psychic investigations the artist sparks
universal recognition, illustrating the unifying predicament of all beings. In so
doing, she inspires belongingness and hope in resolving our inherent existential
dilemma.
Park received a BFA from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and
Architecture, Philadelphia. She exhibited widely in the United States and
designed illustrations for various publications. She lives and works in Corona,
California.

- On Silverlode RoadBy Jonas FischLocated in Los Angeles, CASwedish artist Jonas Fisch’s imagery is vibrantly buzzing with colorful commentary on society - past and present - morphed into figures, words, and shapes.

His process is instinctive and organic, the paintings energetic and vibrant, emerging from his subconscious without judgment. They are constructed by feelings trying to find harmony. Endless figures, messages, layers, and symbols move in and out of focus as the eye explores his puzzle pieces with varied solutions. Jonas Fisch created this large colorful 93-inch tall by 67-inch wide painting with mixed media. acrylic, and oil stick on canvas. This artwork is stretched and is ready to hang.

Born in a small fisherman's village in southern Sweden, contemporary artist Jonas Fisch discovered his love for drawing and painting at a young age and was inspired to pursue his passion by renowned artist and grandmother Ann-Marie Sjögren. Fisch reflects, “As a fundamentally introspective person, I have an explosive need to express and communicate my innermost rays, reflections, and shadows. The canvas, the brush, and the paint allow me to act out, throw up, confront, and examine those innermost feelings. Painting becomes my outlet. At a certain moment, each shape, stroke, and color suddenly takes over and the painting reveals itself. It becomes an expressive personal collaboration of art." Fisch's artworks have been exhibited across the United States, Switzerland, and Hong Kong. His paintings can be found in private collections worldwide.
