DANNY JOE ROSE III | Around the Bend There is a Glowing Light
April 8th 2023 - April 30th, 2023
About the Exhibition
Around the Bend, There is a Glowing Light features a collection of surreal minimalist drawings inspired by nature and the landscape. For many years, Danny has explored notions of the landscape throughout their artistic practice. In this new series, they continue exploring their language of shapes and forms but have transformed their normally colorful depictions into quiet monochromatic drawings. Conceived digitally, these images emerged through a daily meditative drawing exercise using an iPad as a tool for idea generation. Digital art-making methods have appeared throughout Danny’s artistic career alongside their primary painting practice. Their passion for both traditional and digital processes arose while attending university for Graphic Design and continues to evolve with each new body of work.

MARYALICE CARROLL | Leaky Open Uncontained
Maryalice Carroll, Key Lime Juicy Velour, Ceramics, glaze, gold luster, 2022
March 10th, 2023 - April 2nd, 2023

She has exhibited her work in and around the Philadelphia area as well as Arkansas. Maryalice is an Adjunct Professor at Tulsa Community College and a current member at Red Heat.
Artist Statement:
I am interested in what happens to the body when it is overwhelmed with feelings by finding acquiescence in physical discomfort. Each of these lumpy beings is covered in pores or holes that are oozing bodily fluid or glaze. The surfaces of the clay objects offer an analogy to being overstimulated to the point of discomfort. As a hyper-sensitive person, both emotionally and physically, I've grown keenly aware of my body's reaction to stress. My skin starts to feel almost electric and crunchy, and I feel every pore on my body. Every single pore, and each one tingling; this is overwhelming enough to bring me to tears and make me sweat. Despite its severity, this feeling is invisible; in this clay, I attempt to create physical representations of invisible sensations.

Sylvie Mayer | Where the Time Goes
February 10th 2023 - March 5th, 2023
Sylvie Mayer is from Providence, Rhode Island and attended the Rhode Island School of Design, receiving a BFA in Painting in 2018. Since, she has been an artist-in-residence at Elsewhere Studios in Paonia, Colorado, as well as at Fondation des États-Unis in Paris, France. Her studio is currently based in Oklahoma City, where she teaches painting and drawing.
Sylvie's paintings are informed by grief, loss and impermanence; the last days of fall when the leaves barely hang on to the trees, the moment of reaching a hand out to give or receive, the passageways and thresholds that mark our lives as we navigate aging.

Andrew Tresler | A Series of Several Paintings
OCTOBER 14th, 2021 - NOVEMBER 9th, 2021
“My work attempts to capture a fleeting moment in time. A distant memory, a foggy dream. An abstract concept that blurs the line between order and chaos; abstraction and realism. There is no narrative, no reason, right or wrong, there just is. It has no goal other than itself.”
Andrew Brady Tresler was born and raised in Edmond, Oklahoma. From a young age a strong interest in the arts led to a brief attendance in the College of Art at the University of Oklahoma. Shortly after dropping out, he relocated to Nashville, TN to pursue a career in music. Over the years he fell in love again with the visual arts, experimenting in mixed media collages. Eventually turning to painting he has been exploring and creating ever since. He finds inspiration in every day events, music, cinema, and fellow artists of all different media. Every stroke of his paintings attempts to tell a story, however significant or vain, forever frozen in time.

ISAAC DIAZ | Guineo
April 8th 2022 - May 31st, 2022
Having traveled to El Salvador in 2021, it was in his abuela’s backyard where a banana tree in bloom has guided Diaz’s most recent creative endeavors. In his first solo exhibition, Guineo, Diaz explores what it means to bloom, spiral, and wait patiently for unknowns of the future. Like a guineo (Spanish for an unripe banana) in bloom still on its stalk, all things will be ready in their time. Influenced by Pre-Hispanic culture, Diaz uses the spiral to symbolize the ever-changing world all while emphasizing that the origin of his work lies within himself and the earth. It is the path of the spiral and the slowly blooming guineo that has helped carve out a foundation for Diaz’s young career as an artist thus far.
Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Isaac Diaz has always had a passion for the arts. His interest in clay and installation work began while attending The University of Oklahoma where he graduated in 2021 with a BFA in ceramics and sculpture. In 2021 Diaz was accepted into the artist residency program, Arquetopia, where he studied pre-Hispanic ceramics in Puebla, Mexico. Currently, Diaz works out of the ceramic studios at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center.
DANNY JOE ROSE III | Cloud Monolith, 2022, 8” x 10”
DANNY JOE ROSE III | Travelers
MARCH 11th, 2022 - APRIL 3rd, 2022
Danny Joe Rose III is an artist and educator who has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States, as well as Indonesia, Argentina, Mexico, Romania, Canada, and in 2022 will exhibit work in a group show in the Netherlands. They seek inspiration in their travels through sunsets, rock formations, and the various landscapes they’ve encountered. Experimentation plays a big role in their process and has led Rose to adopt an intuitive method of painting, relying on memory and impulse. Rose’s minimalistic and hard-edged abstract works are created using acrylic, latex, enamel, and oil pastels.
Travelers (2022) is a group of mixed media paintings that explore minimalist landscapes, portal structures, and otherworldly vessels that draw inspiration from both the natural world and the supernatural. Over the last decade, Rose’s work has mostly revolved around the landscape and the many colors and forms that inhabit it. In this new body of work they continue that philosophy, but find themselves occupying conjured places. Places built from memories and dreams, existing both here and nowhere.
REESE TRUESDELL |. Study No. 4 (detail), 2021, 36” x 48”
REESE TRUESDELL | Veneer
DECEMBER 10th, 2021 - JANUARY 2nd, 2021
Reese Truesdell b. 1982, Oklahoma.
Although this is Reese Truesdell’s first solo exhibition, he has been lauded for years for his crafted sensibility for tone and texture as a dealer of vernacular art and objects. His works are included in private collections in San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Salt Lake City, Denver & Kansas City. He lives and works in Kansas City, Missouri.
Utilizing found industrial fabric as a foundation for his paintings, Reese Truesdell creates layered oil paintings that abstract both rural and urban scenes. Finding inspiration in the multi-tonal paint covering vandalized walls and the expanse of the prairie, his palette evokes these contrasting spaces with soothing neutrals and the grimy washed-out hues of time-touched surfaces. Stacked, tumbling shapes intersect and overlap to fill the frame pushing the viewers’ perception of perspective and flatness. Like a well-used palette, the paint peaks and scrapes add further visual interest while remaining balanced and serene. Exploring scale, this collection of original works invites the viewer into a vision-filling panorama as well as the intimate space of a mirror.
KATE NICKEL |. In Between, 2020, 36” x 36”
KATE NICKEL | Myths and Miracles
NOVEMBER 12th, 2021 - DECEMBER 5th, 2021
Kate Nickel b. 1990, Oklahoma.
Currently lives and gardens in Oakland, CA
Kate Nickel received a BFA from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in 2012. She completed a six-month artist residency, Queen’s Collective, in Marrakesh, Morocco in 2017-18. Her work was recently included in a group exhibition, Nth Dimension, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver.
This series began in 2014 while living in Oakland, CA, and continued through many lives I lived across the world in Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Morocco, and continues today in Oakland. The paintings question the spaces between, where one object ends and another begins, and where exactly the color of the sky starts to change. And maybe something to do with the way the direction of the light changes ever so slowly from spring to fall to spring and the idea of a sunrise and a sunset happening simultaneously (that’s something I think about sometimes).
