Spectacle Art Show 2011/03

Benjamin
Cowell

Benjamin Cowell explores sculpture and paint, recently producing a pile of new work. Influenced by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ben places importance on layers and text.

Brandon
Russell

Spectacle will be soundtracked by DC resident Brandon Russell. Expect to hear indie, electro, down-tempo, lounge and other music that doesn't suck while exploring the variety of work.

Ivana
Biela

Ivana Biela modifies segmented images on canvas, disrupting the two-dimensional surfaces with seductive morsels like crystals and gold plating. Her recent work is inspired by traditional heavily beaded costumes that she grew up around, specifically featuring characters from a classic film by Juraj Jakubisko.

Jeff
Toliver

As a freelance comicbook Illustrator and member of underground art group DKE Studios, Jeff Toliver has worked with Heritage Comics HSQ, Buzz Boom Media, Shot In The Dark Comics, South Jersey Rebellion Productions, and Silent Devil Studios.

Martin
Sitar

Martin Sitar draws because he needs to. His often detailed drawings juxtapose the living with the manufactured and flirt with the unlimited impracticality of a daydreamer.

Paul
Carpenter

Paul Carpenter is a Philadelphia based multi-disciplinary visual artist, concentrating on graphic design, illustration, printmaking and painting.  Living on the blurred edge where these mediums meet and mingle, most work implements layering of fundamental elements from each of these concentrations.
