Rivet is featuring work by Annie Owens and Laurie Lipton
Annie Owens is the co-founder of the inspirational and West Coast based Hi-Fructose magazine, has been exhibiting for over three years, and held her first solo show last May. She works mostly with ink and water color, illustrating proportionless, sullen faced girls who confront viewers with malicious stares or a baleful gaze. The figures represent qualities within familial relationships and the varying complicated degrees of affection, malice, distrust, pain and love which exist within them. They align themselves well with the style of west coast pop art Annie is used to featuring in her alternative magazine.
Laurie Lipton was originally inspired by the religious paintings of the Flemish School, but failed when she tried to teach herself how to paint in the style of the 17th century Dutch Masters – her work was too macabre and her technique too cross-hatch. “It’s an insane way to draw”, she says, “but the resulting detail and luminosity is worth the amount of effort”.

The Little Berlin Gallery presents Un-Nature, the artwork of Katie Elia, Bonnie Brenda Scott, Adam Bush and Nate Butler. Un-Nature is a contemporary examination of the synthesis of man, nature, and science through visual creation. The language these artists create is one of a grotesque Romanticism. At its core, Romanticism is a reaction to the scientific rationalization of nature, stemming from the 18th century. The work in this exhibition is a reaction to the hyper rationalization we face in the 21st century. The artists create an innate emotional image in response to a culture that is very aware of science and its role in nature. Unlike 18th century Romantic thought, the anthropomorphic relationship of the artist’s chosen image steers away from the beauty of nature. Instead, the artists look at the ugly underside of nature and its interconnectedness with human beings.

Chapel Hill Comics is gearing up for a packed house at tomorrows signing with Illustrator/Author Adam Meuse, creator of the mini comic, Sad Animals.
Adam Meuse’s unsuspecting sense of humor is reflected in the hilarious sadness of his illustrated animals. Chapel Hill Comics owner Andrew Neal called Sad Animals “One of the best books of 2008.” “We sold more copies of this mini-comic in 2008 than anything except the Obama comic biography,” Neal says. “It’s the type of thing that people notice, pick up, flip through, and then burst out laughing.” The Cary-based Meuse has earned a loyal following from Sad Animals, a look at human nature through the eyes of animals who are a little too aware of the absurdity of their lives. It’s a sweet, sometimes touching look at how life can get us down -and what the animals around you are really thinking.

MARK is the new-ish statewide program for visual artists who are seeking guidance and direction with the professional side of their creative career. Certainly with todays economy, this program can’t come soon enough. With enrollment, students focus on visibility, goal setting, effective internet practices, grant applications, writing and speaking skills and acquiring exhibition opportunities. The program also provides a statewide network for students who do not choose to live in New York City. The artists who will be exhibiting are Val Dunne, Lukia Costello, Jax Deluca, Iris Kirkwood, Connlith Keogh, Kara Daving, Kevin Kegler and Dennis Bertram.
