Plastique Fassbender
Plastique Fassbender was born and raised in Milwaukee Wisconsin. He currently lives and works in Lincoln Rhode Island. Since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1991 he has created numerous illustrations for clients from advertising firms to greeting card companies. The abstract paintings in this show represent a departure from this more commercial work. In this body of work, he explores geometric patterns and color theory utilizing acrylic paint, a collaged paper technique, and painted chipboard. when the finished, the pieces are coated in resin, lending a decorative/tile-like feel to the work. They are often grouped together and work modularly in a grid or series. In turn, the individual paintings complement one another: the shapes and colors working off of one another within the grouping. ↑Top

Amanda Albanese

After graduating with a BFA, Painting and BA, Psychology from Flagler College in 2005 Albanese moved to Brooklyn, New York, receiving a MFA in Painting from Pratt Institute. Settling in Providence, Albanese has since been creating dream like artworks, which combine lucid and fragmented personal identities with collective histories. Albanese speaks of potentiality, and sees paint as a place of exploratory play. She finds all painting, regardless of description abstract; stating “It proposes what one wishes to see, yet only can be in paint.” ↑Top

Daved Ferrell Miller
In Daved Ferrell’s work, he uses the human form and symbols, juxtaposed, to create narratives. Poses and expressions of the figure, in relation to the objects or other figures around them, become representations of ideas and stories. His memories and dreams provide the subject matter for his work. Archetypes/Personal-archetypes, myths, fables and primitive laws of magic interest and influence his work as well. But mostly he enjoys the narrative people create for themselves while looking at his work, which often wildly differ from each other and his own. Daved resides in Providence with his Wife, five fur-babies and his hobbies include Used-book perusing and Unicycling. ↑Top

Marie Gagnon
As an avid observer, Marie Gagnon paints what captures her heart and eye. She is always moved not only by the way light plays with objects but also with what appears to become invisible because it is seen as mundane. As a painter, Marie explores relationships while continually enamored with the act of mark making and laying paint to canvas. She enjoys reworking the same view in different ways, ever curious as to how it can be transformed. Although a native New Englander, Marie lived and exhibited in Seattle for many years. In 2012, as the increase of cranes in the sky marred the landscape, she and 100 other artists were evicted from their studios in Seattle. Marie moved back east, settled in Providence, and now paints in her west side studio. ↑Top
