“‘The Ballrooms of Mars’ explores the outer space dimension, the mysterious features of Space and the universal language of nature made of ‘patterns in the vibrations of sound,’” a statement says. “We are led in a journey through distant and magical dimension, in which we encounter mysterious creatures and Ziggy Stardust-like characters – born from Camille Rose Garcia’s imagination but also undoubtedly influenced by popular heroes like David Bowie.”

John Guy Petruzzi uses watercolor and acrylics on synthetic paper for his vivid explorations on ecological disaster. The vibrant pops across these scenes from the natural world may be intriguing, but they tell a story far more ugly. As fellow painters Lauren Marx and Tiffany Bozic explore the dire consequences of our actions in meditations on life and death, Petruzzi also adds to this conversation a clashing and blending of textures and materials.
Chen Fei’s sharp acrylic paintings carry dark humor and allusions to art history. The China native’s crisp linework borrows from pop art and comic book sensibilities, yet much of these references harken back to centuries-old work. And much of the work carries the artist’s own figure, rendered in both graceful and shameful situations.
In what the artist himself calls "homespun faerie tales", Jon Rappleye blends imagery found in art history, literature, biology, and folklore to portray the cyclical nature of life and death. Ranging from surreal paintings to mixed media sculptures, his works draw from the detailed illustrations of James John Audubon and hallucinatory worlds of Salvador Dalí. And while his subject matter can be grim at times, the artist renders it in such a way that it becomes beautiful and enchanting.
You know that moment when you spot something out of the corner of your eye, and when you turn around to look at it, it's gone? That's the sensation we get from Britt Snyder's paintings. His muddled brush strokes upend our perception of what's real and what's tangible, leaving ghostly traces that seem to follow his subjects' movements. While his work appears to be based on everyday scenes, they become disorienting and alien because of his execution. Snyder is based in the Boston area and is a professor of art at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. While he is an experienced commercial artist who has worked with many high-profile companies, his personal work is painterly and in the vein of 20th century artists like Gerhard Richter.
