#408
By Tiffany Calvert
Located in New Orleans, LA
Calvert’s current paintings investigate the relationship between digital media and the reception and perception of images, and utilizes diverse technologies such as fresco, 3D modeling, AI and data manipulation through code. She is especially interested in the evolution of pictorial space. Today we view our screens and the world they occupy as a shallowly layered space of overlapping desktop windows. The picture plane has tilted up again from the flatbed to float in front of our eyes. Calvert’s paintings in turn depict an intermediate space, where the verticality of the still life paintings cohabitate with these digital panes.

Alexander Stolin, born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine (under the former Soviet Socialist Republic),
where he received intensive training and a master of fine arts degree in his homeland’s
traditional art academies. He immigrated to San Francisco in 1992, met his future wife in
Hattiesburg, Mississippi, then married and settled in New Orleans. He maintains a home and
studio in Madisonville, Louisiana, and is a significant but understated figure in the New Orleans
art community. As art critic D. Eric Bookhardt suggested in 2002, “Stolin is more accomplished
than he is famous.” His art, often exhibited in thematic series that incorporate a variety of media,
ranges from intimate portraits to large-scale murals (one measuring twelve feet by seventy-two
feet). He has worked on a progressively larger scale, most recently designing and painting
projects for the Louisiana film industry. Stolin’s technically proficient and complexly layered art
reflects a unique fusion of the academic training he received in Kiev and his evolving response
to the very different culture, lifestyle, and subject matter he has discovered in New Orleans,
Madisonville, and the Gulf South.
Stolin was born on August 30, 1963. His art abilities were quickly recognized when in fourth
grade he qualified for admission to the State School of Art in Kiev, which he attended from 1975
to 1981. He decided to concentrate on book illustration and graphic arts, and after graduating he
was accepted into the Ivan Fedorov Polygraphic Institute in Moscow, where he studied from
1982 to 1988, graduating with a master of fine arts degree in 1988. He trained as a printmaker,
creating etchings and lithographs, and as a graphic designer, and worked as a designer in Kiev.
“I illustrated mysteries, science fiction, and different magazines,” he said. In 1988, after his
family visited relatives in San Francisco, California, the Stolins decided to immigrate to the
United States, a process that took four years. In 1992, Stolin and his parents immigrated to San
Francisco, and he worked for graphic design and print businesses in nearby Emeryville,
California. During a trip to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where he was visiting cousins, Stolin met
Mary Kay Holmes. The couple soon married and moved to New Orleans, where Stolin
established himself as a working artist and began to exhibit in local galleries and group
exhibitions.
The art Stolin began to create in New Orleans demonstrated his technical skills, knowledge of
art history, and the evolving range of his subject matter, reflected from one series and exhibition
to the next, yet it was challenging for critics to classify his work. This was evident in the series
Stolin exhibited during his first decade in the city, beginning with Byzantium on the Bayou
(1993–1994), which combined historical Byzantine art references with New Orleans and Mardi
Gras subjects, such as Mardi Gras Madonna and Adoration of St. Gator. In his Midnight Dessert
series (1995–1997), he created works such as Tea in Manhattan and Rembrandt and Nathan, a
large painting that Bookhardt described as “a vision of Rembrandt and various Dutch masters
promenading down the sidewalk past Nathan’s Deli in New York.” Following that, he completed
The Water Series (1998–1999), featuring reflective and heavily worked surfaces in paintings
such as Reflections #2 and Study of Fish and Swimmers.
Stolin’s Face to Face series of portraits, completed from 2000 to 2002, featured New Orleans
artists including Douglas Bourgeois...

Michael Tole is a figurative painter currently living in Tempe, AZ with his wife and daughters. A Texas native, most of his 20 year long career was spent in Dallas. After relocating to Tempe, his work experienced a significant shift from photo-based paintings of retail interiors to fantastical figurative inventions based on pop culture imagery he has encountered via his two daughters’ taste in music videos, and his proximity to Southern California and it’s particular brand of Disney-esque hedonism. Mr. Tole’s career includes shows in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, and Miami. His work has been reviewed in Art Forum International...

Maybe the horrendous can be okay?
By Jenny Day
Located in New Orleans, LA
Retreating from the stress and chaos of the last year, I created another landscape; populated by an army of friendly creatures. Here the burdens of coronavirus, climate change, and political division are dismissed by hot pink kittens that arc gracefully through meter showers and owls that bury into beds of daffodils. In this place worry is edged out by the fantastic and mystical snails trail neon candy canes through the scorched earth. The apocalyptic is supplanted by the surreal and the allegorical.
Anxiety followed me. The escapist reflects and distorts its shadow world, the real, a funhouse mirror...

Alabama Goddamn
By Nora See
Located in New Orleans, LA
NORA SEE grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where, as a child, she taught herself to draw. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the Corcoran College of Art and Design and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of New Orleans. She works and lives in New Orleans.
In her oil paintings, Nora See renders framed paintings on walls with which human figures interact. Through her classical painting style and the use of historical visual references, her pieces contrast the past with the present. By combining these temporal elements with the use of frames as containers, she explores themes of consumption, imprisonment, and liberation.
Nora’s work has been exhibited in a variety of venues and is also in the personal collection of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
STATEMENT
“Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.” A quote oft attributed to various sources that was never actually uttered by any of them. Though Mark Twain elaborated on the sentiment: “Ninety-nine parts of all things that proceed from the intellect are plagiarisms.” In the Framed Series, I use my 1% contribution to combine issues of consumption with my autobiography.
I paint copies of copies of paintings within paintings to reference the appropriation, commodification, and altered continuum of art. My paintings of paintings are based on photographs of originals to perpetuate the continual distillation of form, given the ease with which images are presently exchanged and modified. Further, by reducing historically significant paintings to framed objects...
