Pamela Papas was born in 1965 in South Carolina. Her bachelors degree is from Southern Illinois University. She majored in business but her heart has always been in art. She had once said, “My work is always drawn from personal experience. The towns are places I have visited; the people are people I have met, if only for a moment, and even the flowers have graced my own tables. I keep a written journal and regularly paint my everyday surroundings. In fact, if my journals are the text of my life then my paintings are the illustrations. For some reason I have always felt a need to explain myself, as if there is something important I am supposed to share with you but I don't know exactly what that is so I will share the world as I see it in the hopes there will be something there for you to draw on. Something you can learn or hold or keep for yourself; something that brings you comfort and maybe even joy! I have never tried to make a statement, political or otherwise, through my work. I simply paint the things that I find beautiful. For me art is an emotional state. Do you remember when you were a child and you colored for hours at the kitchen table? Or you worked on a model gluing tiny parts until you thought your eyes would pop! Do you remember that feeling of being completely absorbed in what you were doing? You could be occupied for hours in your own world by pure creative spirit. That is art: that feeling of complete absorption, complete involvement in the process of creating. The process of art is a reward in itself. The end result is confirmation of the beauty and enjoyment of the process.”

The Dissidents: Discourse on the Golden Mean
By Michael Tole
Located in New Orleans, LA
Michael Tole says of his work… This work draws a connection between the didactic moralizing tendencies of Neo Classicism (represented in the style of the painting) and Modernism (represented in the architectural setting). Though modern art eschews the naturalistic imagery used by Neo Classicists, both movements pursued a self-important, austere, self-consciously masculine aesthetic that they saw as synonymous with virtue. Set in the MoMA courtyard, a passel of men lounge about, regarding a golden statue which looks terribly out of place in this modernist vitrine. The uncomfortable architectural setting, prisonlike and cold, provides a foil for the odalisque-like young men sprawled on hard stone benches and paying homage to the central idol. In my current work, The Revisionist Histories, I am writing letters to art history, literature, and mythology in an attempt to reflect the social changes that have reshaped our society over the past century. As part of this agenda, I explore the evolution of gender norms, power dynamics, and representation within Western visual culture and what this implies for the negotiation between pleasure, justice, and our culturally specific discourse on beauty. The seed for The Revisionist Histories was sewn when I caught a glimpse of my preteen daughters watching music videos on their iPad as I chopped veggies for dinner. Out of the corner of my eye I caught glimpses of music videos featuring Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Doja Cat gyrating across the tiny screen. A better parent might have snatched the iPad away, but I was overcome with hallucinatory visions of this pop diva...
