"Queen Bozeman, " Ceramic Vessel
Located in Westport, CT
This ceramic vessel by Jon Puzzuoli is made with crystalline glazed porcelain and 18K gold luster. It has a light blue palette with white "crystals" formed on the surface of the piece, as well as a gold accent at the base of it's wide, curved neck. The artist's stamp can be found at the base of the vessel.
Crystalline glazes are special ceramic glazes in which zinc-silicate crystals grow inside the glaze while it is still very hot. The crystals begin as microscopic seeds in the glaze, which form in random numbers and locations. When the kiln is cooled to the proper temperature, crystals start to grow.
In order for crystals to grow, the glaze must be very fluid. Much of the glaze runs off the vessel during the firing into a catch basin...

"Orion's Belt, " Abstract Steel Sculpture
Located in Westport, CT
This abstract sculpture by Joe Sorge is made with steel and black dye. A single strip of steel curves up from a circular base like a ribbon, curling at the top twice around. The sculpture casts intricate and unique shadows on its surrounding environment. The white pedestal pictured is not included.
Connecticut-based sculptor Joe Sorge studied at the School of Visual Art (SVA) in New York City. While Joe's body of work is most often made with stainless steel which he sometimes dyes to give the forms bold, solid colors, he also experiments with stone carving, genesa crystals, tiger eye alabaster and others. He works with a variety of colors, finishes, and textures, to create the final piece.
Joe's sculptures express the fluidity and tension inherent in the material he uses. His work draws on a modernist vocabulary to create abstract, often whimsical objects...

Taormina
By Paul Shakespear
Located in Westport, CT
Paul Shakespear’s minimalist works constantly explore the material properties of paint. This painting is beautifully surfaced.
The artist strives to achieve translucence, depth or even a stony surface. The work has no narrative. It has some mark making, but it’s subservient to the tactile quality of the painting’s surface. It’s all about painting as object.
He applies close to forty layers of think acrylic glazes that are brushed, troweled and rubbed on. The final layer is often an equisite highly polished surface.
The artist compares painting to making music, an activity beyond words, a reaching for the emotional and unconscious world.
His work has been exhibited in the U.S., Europe and South America. He is in numerous collections, including Addison Gallery of American Art; Ann & Graham Gund Colleciton; Fidelity Investments; University of San Diego; Berkshire Partners and De Cordova Museum.
Paul Shakespear lives and works in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was educated at Boston College...

Barber uses a form of mixed media which allows for more creative freedom and gives the materials a voice.
This painting makes a beautiful pair with the Liz Barber painting, "Magnolia 1."
The most common reoccurring theme in Barber’s work is the ocean or natural elements and forms. The shapes serve as anchors for the mind to stop and reflect upon. They can be ambiguous or recognizable forms based on what the viewer brings to the piece.
Barber leans towards distinctive color palettes at certain times of the year as the seasons change. They are either subtle or intense color interaction...

Friday I'm in Love (red gold)
By Ayse Wilson
Located in Westport, CT
Ayse Wilson is a Turkish-American artist who lives and lives and works in Connecticut. Her work draws from memory and emotion to remind viewers of youth, innocence and the timeless space we occupy when we are young. She creates lively and childlike characters, finding inspiration in the works of early Italian Renaissance masters such as Fra Angelico.
Wilson graduated from Wellesley College in 1991, and pursued her education in Florence. She received her MFA at New York Academy of Art, and later worked as a painting assistant to Jeff Koons for two years.
This current series employs the toile wallpaper samples that the artist had lying around her house during lockdown as a backdrop for ambiguous and complicated feelings toward quarantine and domestic confinement. In this work, she is hoping to narrate how fear of the pandemic unknown, coupled with household anxieties, and increased self-awareness contributed to the mixed emotions of security and hostility towards enforced domesticity within a masked world.
The toile tradition represented a coincidental parallel with the COVID era rediscovery of old-fashioned pastoral lifestyles, and the embrace of self-reliant artisanal practices like cooking, gardening, sewing, and prescribed homeschooling. Her colorful inscriptions, some original, some appropriated, layer in our contemporary lifestyle, our modern methods of connectivity as well as our high-tech world.
The punky playfulness of the neon and fluorescents contrasts with the backdrop of Fragonard-esque imagery and hopes to delivery her messages of love and connection, awareness and newness, hope and emotions, as well as the occasional glossily veiled hostility expressed in certain so-called “love” declarations.
The phrases evolved from a previous series addressing the Me Too movement...
