IN CURRENT SHOW The Corridors Gallery at Hotel Henry Fall Show Colorful Composition 1, 1987 Paper, tempera, ink, staples, mixed media 72 × 72 in; 182.9 × 182.9 cm **Contact us about a wholesale framing quote The selection of work included in the Corridor Gallery, represents a large span of time, included pieces from Bajus’ first solo exhibition in Slovakia. Consistent throughout, is Bajus' belief that "beauty is everywhere, not just in nature, we just need to open our eyes and listen with our hearts". Frequently, the work is created using discarded detritus or industrial remnants. Bajus transforms these unassuming materials into intricate, elegant, impactful objects that deal with color, surface, texture, shadow and spatial relationships. These same works call attention to environmental concerns Bajus notes, “nothing ever goes away, rather, everything stays, the same or in slightly altered form, but still remains.” Bajus' work reveals the hidden beauty inherent in even the most mundane materials. Jozef Bajus is an award winning mixed media artist. Originally from Slovakia,Bajus received his MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava, Slovakia. He began his teaching career in 1990 during the Velvet Revolution, an exciting and tumultuous time in Slovakia's history. Since that time, Bajus has held positions of visiting scholar, instructor,& coordinator, at many colleges and programs in the United States and abroad, including, Rhode Island School of Design, Slippery Rock University,Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Penland School of Crafts, Arrowmont School of Crafts, Kanazawa College (Japan), & Jianxing University,(China). Currently, Bajus is an Associate Professor at SUNY Buffalo State College and serves as coordinator of the Fibers/Design Program.

Untitled
By Roland Ayers
Located in Wilton Manors, FL
Roland Ayers (1932-2017). Untitled, 1983. Ink on paper, measures 17 x 23 inches. Unframed and unmounted. Signed and dated lower left. Ayers holds the distinction of having participated in the first important survey of African-Americans, Contemporary Black Artists in America, a 1971 show at The Whitney. Biography: Artist and art educator, Roland Ayers was born on July 2, 1932, the only child of Alice and Lorenzo Ayers, and grew up in the Germantown district of Philadelphia. Ayers served in the US Army (stationed in Germany) before studying at the Philadelphia College of Art (currently University of the Arts). He graduated with a BFA in Art Education, 1954. He traveled Europe 1966-67, spending time in Amsterdam and Greece in particular. During this period, he drifted away from painting to focus on linear figurative drawings of a surreal nature. His return home inaugurated the artist’s most prolific and inspired period (1968-1975). Shorty before his second major trip abroad in 1971-72 to West Africa, Ayers began to focus on African themes, and African American figures populated his work almost exclusively. In spite of Ayers’ travel and exploration of the world, he gravitated back to his beloved Germantown, a place he endowed with mythological qualities in his work and literature. His auto-biographical writing focuses on the importance of place during his childhood. Ayers’ journals meticulously document the ethnic and cultural make-up of Germantown, and tell a compelling story of class marginalization that brought together poor families despite racial differences. The distinctive look and design of Germantown inform Ayers’ visual vocabulary. It is a setting with distinctive Gothic Revival architecture and haunting natural beauty. These characteristics are translated and recur in the artist’s imagery. During his childhood, one of the only books in the Ayers household was an illustrated Bible. The images within had a profound effect on the themes and subjects that would appear in his adult work. Figures in an Ayers’ drawing often seem trapped in a narrative of loss and redemption. Powerful women loom large in the drawings: they suggest the female role models his journals record in early life. The drawings can sometimes convey a strong sense of conflict, and at other times, harmony. Nature and architecture seem to have an antagonistic relationship that is, ironically, symbiotic. A critical turning point in the artist’s career came in 1971 when he was included in the extremely controversial Whitney Museum show, Contemporary Black Artists in America. The exhibition gave Ayers an international audience and served as a calling card for introductions he would soon make in Europe. Ayers is a particularly compelling figure in a period when black artists struggled with the idea of authenticity. A questioned often asked was “Is your work too black, or not black enough?” Abstractionists were considered by some peers to be sell-outs, frauds or worse. Figurative* work was accused of being either sentimental or politically radical depending on the critical source. Ayers made the choice early on to be a figurative artist, but considered his work devoid of political content. Organizations such as Chicago’ s Afri-Cobra in the late 1960‘s asserted that the only true black art of any relevance must depict the black man and woman...
