June Exhibition Series

Presented by Kansas City Artists Coalition at Kansas City Artists Coalition

MALLIN GALLERY - JOLYNN REIGELUTH's work combines an array of printmaking processes with drawing, painting, and collage to create print and mixed media hybrids. The images earnestly and humorously reflect on the emotional and physical aspects of the human condition and its twisted ironies. Throughout the process of making she explores and challenges the tension between intuitive responses and structural consistencies within her work. By working in tension between intuition and structure, she creates imagery that playfully captures the complexity of ubiquitous human experiences and interactions.

CHARNO GALLERY - DIANE SALAMON attempts to bring balance, beauty and hope to our chaotic and unorganized world. She utilizes her love of music and writing to energize her work. Each painting consists of layers of color, patterns, shapes and written thoughts or prayers resulting in a lyrical labyrinth. The viewer weaves through the painting in and out of “doorways” and “paths” looking for possibilities.

UNDERGROUND GALLERY - JOHN HAYES creates a vapid, cocktail dress-wearing martini-toting redhead as she wanders aimlessly from one empty party environment to another. Never giving leering men the time of day, stuck in her own meaningless after-hours functions, no aim, no purpose. Hayes's show would serve to illustrate the futility of the upscale art scene, the cartoony approach serving as a parody of itself. There are large canvases, there are smaller drawings, all of them of anew insipid redheaded woman not bothering to make sense of the crazy surroundings she has drunk herself into. That is Chapter One. Chapter Two is the vicious blonde who IS giving the men her time of day, and ruthlessly destroying their hearts as she goes about her wine-imbibing way. Here is comic frustration and grief of the male counterpart.

UNDERGROUND GALLERY - SCOTT RANDOL is inspired by the abstract and spontaneity. The Stick Figures and Industrial Supports series are examples of his "quick art". The Stick Figures, rapidly made, bespeak of approaching life with childlike wonder and enthusiasm. The Beak Series reminds Randol of the quandary of the flightless bird. These and many items he makes have a pseudo aspect. Made for a society that does not exist. To amuse or confound later scholars and archeologists.

UNDERGROUND GALLERY - WANDA TYNER reflects her adventurous spirit and passion for exploring and storytelling. She enjoys the focus and precision it takes to design, combine colors, textures, shapes and techniques to create kiln-formed glass art that can be bright, bold, subtle, or textured. Tyner is fascinated with the scientific properties of glass and the endless possibilities through kiln-forming - she incorporates the design principles of balance, focus and harmony while creating unique fused glass artwork and functional food-safe pieces.

SNAP SPACE GALLERY - SHANNON BROUK finds COLOR has a significant impact on how viewers see and respond to images. Recognizing the importance of color and how they can be used to create depth on a flat surface, Brouk draws each of her portraits with the intension of creating a unique personality sprung to life through the colors she chooses. The blend of the pencils, as well as how the paper is specifically chosen for each drawing, allows her finished pieces to carry their own individuality/their own unique fingerprint. To Brouk, this is the true joy of drawing: to invite the viewer into the space of a fictional individual living eternally in their own world of vibrant COLOR.
