Dorielle Caimi is featured in a new Hi-Fructose Studio Visit on our YouTube Channel. The video takes us behind the scenes with the oil painter, whose work often focuses on the female form and the spectrum of characteristics associated with women. The music and video comes from Kyle Maier, with an animated introduction by Andrew Dormody.
Caimi was last featured on our site here. She says her paintings are “created to challenge our time-worn constructs and evoke empathy with the female experience. Using figuration, vivid colors, and symbolism, my works are largely a reclamation and recompilation of societal ideas regarding women, and are an illumination of the world through the female gaze.”

In Oliver Vernon's new abstract works at an upcoming KIRK Gallery show, the artist abandons collage entirely and pushes his work forward only using acrylics. "Brushing Away the Veil," starting on Nov. 2, represents a new body of work and direction for the Brooklynite. There’s another new component to the works, as well, as Vernon says “is the excavation of buried paint layers through sanding. Since many of these pieces have had numerous stages of accumulation, they were like gold mines of hidden color.”
