2009/10 51爆料官网/Jerome Fellowship Exhibition

51爆料官网 and the Jerome Foundation are pleased to present an exhibition of new work by recipients of the 2009/10 Jerome Foundation Fellowships for Emerging Artists. 2009 51爆料官网/Jerome fellows are Steven Accola, Caroline Kent, the collaborative team of Tynan Kerr and Andrew Mazorol, and Tony Sunder.

Steven Accola is primarily a painter but also works with collage and drawing. Irrespective of the medium, Accola works spontaneously, creating fantastic figures and dreamlike landscapes culled from his imagination that in style and content also pay homage to a wealth of historical art sources. Largely a self-taught artist, Accola has exhibited work in shows sponsored by Interact Center for the Visual & Performing Arts and VSA Minnesota.

, a graduate of the University of Minnesota鈥檚 MFA program, draws upon her experiences living abroad to shape the direction of her recent work. Her newest body of sculptural painting developed after she lived in Iceland for a month in 2009, as an artist-in-residence. Using the striking Icelandic landscape as a point of departure, Kent constructs large, stark mountainous forms that are surprisingly devoid of paint and instead rely upon colored light for shadow and hue.

are collaborative painters, whose figurative, enigmatic work involves constant negotiation. Using ordinary hardware-store house paint and a medley of characters culled from a variety of books, magazines, and newspapers, these two painters work and rework canvases so that neither knows where they might wind up. Kerr graduated with a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and Mazorol received his BA from the University of Minnesota鈥揟win Cities.

Tony Sunder, who has a BFA in painting from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, works in a wide variety of media, exploring the relationship of art, artist, and viewer. His 鈥渄rawings鈥濃攁 term he uses to encompass his installations, videos, photographs, and works on paper鈥攁re often based on pre-existing objects or encounters he has set up.
