JIVAN LEE

Jivan Lee is an oil painter based in Taos and Santa Fe, NM. He grew up in Woodstock, NY, and studied painting at Bard College with Joseph Santore and Laura Battle. His work explores the nature of paint as raw material, creator of image, and catalyst for emotional response, and is increasingly addressing the complexities of how humans see and shape their environment. Jivan’s paintings have been exhibited nationally at museums and educational institutions and covered in publications such as Fine Art Connoisseur, Southwest Art, Art Business News, and Plein Air Magazine. In addition to painting as much as time allows, Jivan also helms the Project for Art and the Environment and occasionally teaches.

“My pieces are often a conglomeration of unrelated ideas that somehow just seem to work together. I try to think about a series of disjointed or unconnected things and place them in new relationships to each other. I have a tendency to pick and choose my cultural references at will. Exercising unrestrained disregard for tradition or convention gives me the ability to process new ideas rapidly. My background in video and web production provides me with an idiosyncratic perspective for approaching my art and subject matter. One does not often associate digital media with ceramics. I also observe how graphic designers apply their designs to various objects. This gives me additional insight for approaching a 3-D form.” Max Lehman

Andy Libertone moved to Colorado in 1969 after recieving his MFA from Stanford University and BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Libertone has taught at such various institutions as the University of Colorado, Boulder, University of Colorado, Denver, Metro State, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and Red Rocks Community College. Andy was a founding member of Spark co-op gallery and has exhibited his work in galleries, institutions and the public throughout Colorado and the west.

“As a visual artist I execute my ideas in sculpture and drawings. My motivation for these sculptures comes frmo my love of jazz music, architecture, industrial and auto based imagery. I am visually absorbed by these things and construct pieces that incorporate these influences by balancing solid forms and open spaces and orchestrating colors in steel and wood.

My recent extension into large geometric powder-coated steel sculptures has proved to be a rewarding expansion of my artistc vision.”

“My work takes its cues from visual perception, perhaps calling to mind naturalistic form, depth, light, and so on,  though they’re not representational per se. I’m interested in the way the mind tries to find a meaningful signal, even where only noise exists.

I like to approach paint not just as color to apply here or there, but as viscous fluid with distinct physical properties that tends to behave in specific ways. Like any material it has its own nature, and my relationship with it is sometimes to subvert or bend it in a certain direction, and other times to make space for it to do its own thing.”
