Sacred cows, mushroom clouds and tarted up politicos - APOCRYPHAE: Visions of the Sacred and Profane offers views from Creation- some of white hot intensity, some of organic spirituality, and others of a cool delicious irony.

PhotoPoetry: Ricardo B. Sanchez and Zulema Pena

2010-09-28T18:40:00.000-04:00

Zulema Pena (writer) and Ricardo B. Sanchez (photographer) have created a body of work that brings toguether the written word with an image. Zulema is fascinated by the hidden power of the word as well as the power of the of the hidden word.

Her work originates with a phrase that she recreates into another phrase using exactly the same letters found in the original, not one more, not one less, and she maintains a link between one phrase and the other.

The two collaborate works in this show are "Esta crisis..." and "Hacia donde va..." when translated into english they will not maintain the same play on the letters, but it will illustrate how one phrase is linked to the other.

The translations are not literally exact, but they do reflect the meanings contained in each phrase.

"Esta crisis..." translates into "This crisis is the great opportunity for a change" and the recreated phrase is: "Se podria..." "it could be, if such abundance would be shared".

"Hacia donde..." translates to: "Where is the human being going". In this case there are two recreated phrases: "La vida..." "Life made of love unites us" and the shadow side, "Alma vacia..." "A soul empty of honor sinks"

Farnaz Shemirani and Charlotte Mae with Heartbeat of the World, at KhromaTone II Opening 8/11/10

2010-08-20T22:27:00.001-04:00

Ever richer in layers, as well as dimensions, texture, and color, as a whole Charlotte Mae’s work begs an interactive audience. These pieces are idea puzzles, with more than one right answer. They are frozen conversations in 3D, multidimensional spider webs that all reference a portion of Charlotte Mae’s life view, and dream of a more balanced world.

Scott Alger, Performance Photographer and Light Writer at KhromaTone II

2010-08-20T21:43:00.001-04:00

Rooted in the aesthetics of Abstract Expressionism while embracing the fantastic principles of Magical Realism, Alger’s interactive photographs spontaneously depict material subjects moving through translucent light-energy to present an alternate reality. Using the speed of light as his brushes, he infuses mundane subjects with emotional intensity using a process that is in and of itself performance art. His work has been featured in Ray Ban's Project Colorize 2008-2009 Campaign, with images featured in Marie-Claire, Paper and Juxtapoz. He was named a Surface Magazine Avant Guardian in 2007.

Brian has been published in regional and national news magazines and newspapers, and his work has been featured on several television shows, including HGTV's Curb Appeal

Opening Reception to feature an electro acoustic musical performance by world famous oboist Matt Sullivan, and parallel light photography painting by Scott Alger to the videos of Earthwork Artist Ken Cro-Ken

Vibration creates sound which, as energy, travels through air or water reflecting and creating. Light is a vibration of magnetic and electric fields of pure energy. KhromaTone II's artists each involve the viewer as they explore the mystery of individual as all powerful co creator when in synch with the primal creative force at the core of existence.
