About the Item
Brianna Bass (b. 1990) is a painter from Knoxville, Tennessee. She is a co-founder, curator, and writer for Mineral House Media, a web-based residency and media platform designed to elevate Southeastern contemporary artists. Brianna earned her BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2013 and is currently an MFA candidate at Yale University school of art.
Brianna’s paintings are an ongoing investigation of perception and sensation through organizational color systems. Drawing from her experience with hearing loss, she uses her paintings to connect visual function with language and communication.
"I think that by missing pieces of conversation, I am made sensitive to the machinations of communication that we all experience. An utterance is, in essence, just a flow of sound. Predictive cues are constantly at play in a phonetic stream, organizing and separating one word from another. Familiarity with the subject, body language, and known cadences of the spoken language are a few factors that define what the listener should expect to hear. I’m interested in this process of assembly. A painting can be similarly described as an utterance; a particulate field of chromatic data that is made legible through its own internal and external cues.”
In her paintings, Brianna establishes predictive frameworks through form and pattern, and then destabilizes the sensation of wholeness and legibility in varying degrees, processing patterns into spaces that imitate the moment in miscommunication when a word dissolves into an abstract sound. By creating these undefinable, interrupted spaces, she hopes to motivate searching and assembly, engaging the viewer in the visual equivalent of listening carefully. Through her work, she aims to create paintings that require comfort with suspense and mid-formation, stimulating an awareness of the viewer’s own sensory fluidity.

- THE ABDUCTION - Contemporary Figurative Mixed Media Painting, spray paint, darkBy Eleanor AldrichLocated in Signal Mountain, TN"The Abduction" paints a more sinister picture than what is typically seen from Eleanor Aldrich. A bullseye is placed on a child abductor as Aldrich provides her commentary on the more grim aspects of society. More info below: Eleanor Aldrich was born in Springerville, Arizona. A participant at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, she also holds an MFA in Painting & Drawing from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where she currently lives. She earned her BFA in Painting & Drawing through the Academie Minerva (Groningen, the Netherlands) and Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff. She was a participant in the Drawing Center’s first Open Sessions. Eleanor has had solo shows in Boston, Nashville, Knoxville, Flagstaff, AZ, and at the University of Alabama. Her work has been shown at Saltworks Gallery (Atlanta, GA), the Drawing Center (New York, NY), Grin (Providence, RI) and Ortega y Gasset (New York, NY). Her work was chosen for 1708 Gallery’s ‘FEED 2013’ (Richmond, VA). She has been awarded an Endowment for the Arts through the Whiteman Foundation, and the Herman E. Spivey Fellowship. Her work has been included in New American Paintings and on Artforum. Aldrich's work is textural and alchemical; she matches materials – often industrial sealants – and techniques to the subject matter they look like, thereby approaching a likeness without realistic rendering. She attributes her appreciation of mystery and the possibility of transformation in her work to her Catholic upbringing, in which materials were transformed and images held power over life. Her work intersects modernist painting, her own experiences, and the physicality of the body. Sometimes her work is about the application – paint is combed, piped, sprinkled and sprayed, reflecting traditional feminine work and crafts. Often the subject matter acts as a metaphor. The lines of a lawn chair seat serves as a veiled reference to the grid, and its breakdown – presumably by human weight – to an imagined encounter with the human body. *Make sure to use the "view in a room...Category

- Anne Russinof, Amaryllis, 2016, Oil on canvas, Color Field, AbstractionBy Anne RussinofLocated in Darien, CTRussinof uses large brushes to create highly energized gestures that intimate various patterns and forms in architecture such as frames, cornices and baroque ceiling vaults. The paint-ings are process-based in the sense that one is aware of drips and the accretion of layers, and also flirt with their role as objects by virtue of the gesture’s relation to the painting edge. Color serves to create a window onto natural space and light, even as the forms themselves acknowledge their own framing.
