Essentially abstract, yet evocative of webs, systems, and networks, my work bridges the organic and the technological. In the canvas works, intensive, hand-drawn, black-line drawings, and washes of earth-toned colors hover somewhere between the biological and the architectural. Expanding the idea of drawing into the third dimension, a dense, line-driven installation appears as though it […]

Creating large-scale, calligraphic-style graffiti paintings, on solid fields of mostly gray, tan, or off-white colors, Italian American artist Matthew Lauretti rarely presents an image of the complete human body. In his work, viewers often find only the face staring back  at them—in some cases, simply a pair of eyes. The bodies inhabiting Lauretti’s more recent […]

I moved to Columbus and opened the gallery in 1993. Although I was born here, I grew up in Northern California and studied art history in Paris. My first job was at Sotheby’s in New York, where I was introduced to the global art market. After a few years in Berlin, I decided to launch […]

Columbus artist Mac Worthington prides himself on customization. Such a mission has resulted in a mass collection of metal sculpted furniture he calls “functional art.” His collection includes coffee tables, dining room sets, desks, food prep tables, end tables, mirrors, clocks, and bars. Shopping Worthington’s “galerie” in Columbus’ Short North Arts District feels similar to […]

Before making Heartfelt Wishes, I experimenting with sounds, like simulation of voices in the environment. Later I thought of imitating the sound of a heartbeat with my own voice, and then I asked a group of people to imitate the sound made by the person before them. This is how the piece was completed. Heartfelt […]

Columbus artist Curtis Goldstein’s creative fingerprint is found literally all over the city, from signature murals lining the bustling arts district, the Short North, to corporate collections displayed along the hallways of downtown high-rises and suburban golf clubs. Goldstein’s 45-by-60-foot mural recreating George Bellows’ Cliff Dwellers is one of the initial sites heading into the […]

Many artists are inspired by the chaos in their daily routines. But perhaps few experience the same type of daily bedlam as Columbus ceramicist Janis Mars Wunderlich. Wunderlich admits she’s lucky to get more than 20 minutes at a time in her home studio. She’s typically too busy accounting for her five children, their constantly-coming-and-going […]

I was born in a mining town in the north of England. My father was killed in 1967 while on active duty in the British Army. My mother, brother, and I then moved into the house of my grandfather, who was a working miner. The installations that I make are concerned with memories of those […]
