Holden Willard: his work primarily deals with the figure and its interaction within space; his studies with observation are concerned with how his sight ultimately affects the work. He is continually striving towards a coming of age narrative that encapsulates his everyday experience, and that of his friends and family. It’s his desire to form a body of imagery that relates to a more common collective experience of people his age here in Maine.

Theo Slaats: born March 10, 1971 in Tegelen, Limburg, The Netherlands. Went to art school late 80s and early 90s. Has also been writing from an age of around 13, first mostly poems and song lyrics, later mostly compiled notes and short stories (almost always to go along with his drawings.) Picked up a Bic pen (black only) around 14 years ago, and has been only using that kind of pen ever since. (Last year also using blue, green, and red, now and then.) Makes all kinds of one– off drawings, but also gets nice ideas worked out more into series, that can lead to styles and storytelling to go with that. Nothing got published or sold yet. (He isn’t aiming towards that.) It’s all he does, and there ain’t no more.

Alex Selkowitz: is an oil painter residing in Los Angeles, CA. He is inspired by the bright Southern California light and colorful sunsets. His subjects range from dense urban concrete environments to the sprawl of suburbia littered with green spaces. He paints in an impressionistic style and his artworks evoke a calm liminal feeling and dream–like quality.
