FOM Series Fifth Anniversary: Five MORE Artists for Five Years

You know how people say your birthday only comes around once a year? Well, we don’t ascribe to that philosophy! In fact, we will continue to celebrate the FOM Series turning FIVE for the month of May, too! After a successful 5 Artists for 5 Years themed April show, we knew we had more artists to honor and more incredible work to share with you during May’s First Thursdays on Main event. Are you ready??!!!

It is our honor to welcome back Amanda Ladymon, Michael Krajewski, Whitney LeJeune, Jarid Lyfe Brown, and Jen Phelps!

Amanda Ladymon is a mixed media artist, exhibiting around the southeast, as well as internationally. Amanda is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of South Carolina and Columbia College. She is very involved in the local Columbia Arts community in many different facets, mainly as the Exhibition & Event Coordinator for S & S Art Supply. She also teaches adults and children’s art workshops at her home with her newest business, Ladybug Art Studios. Her work’s aesthetic formula is derived mostly from biomorphic abstraction. Amanda’s artwork primarily is in drawing/painting, sculpture, and installation. We are thrilled to have her creative force back at our gallery!

Michael Krajewski’s last show at FOM landed in The State’s Life & Style section revealing gallery walls packed to the max popping with colors and ideas unending. Krajewski style. Specifically, his style has been called neo-expressionist and compared to Jean-Michel Basquiat’s though Krajewski is less interested in defining, more interested in producing. We’re excited to welcome Michael back to FOM; we look forward to the rush of energy his work delivers!

Whitney LeJeune works to satisfy viewers on an emotional and an intellectual level – mating form, color and the power of suggestion in every effort. Her enchanting images draw collectors from coast to coast. Her style is influenced by her early childhood home, Austin, Texas, the southern elegance she finds in her family’s South Carolina roots, and her inescapable feminine perspective on the world. “My work as a female painter is bringing passionate art into peoples’ lives. I’m pleased when I’ve captured the easily overlooked moments and emotions in life, and said a lot with a just a few strokes of paint”.

Jarid Lyfe Brown’s creations are well-known in our community; they are filled with what we like to call “creative lyfe.”
Undefined’s 2011 article describes Jarid’s works as “thoughtful, vibrantly colored, light emulating paintings — many of which depict animals that possess human-like qualities.” Well said! To quote the artist, “Art is what I make.” Charismatic forms and colors galore!

Jen Phelps’ use of a mix of subject matter and printmaking inspires the art enthusiasts and appreciators alike. Says the artist regarding her craft, “Change is the constant in this life. Lives change but creativity and friendships make great foundations for those challenges.” In fact, she has recently experienced a change in residence and career herself. “When a career as a non-profit leader began to take up my life full-time, I always went back to Penland each summer to re-energize and get a creative grounding for whatever life-changing events that I would encounter. Some of the work that I’m contributing to the FOM Series Anniversary Show was created at Penland and some from my new home in Austin TX. I wish I could be there in person, but I send my love with my art!”

S&S Art Supply

Mixed Media Works by Amanda Ladymon

This May’s First Thursday at S & S is a last minute surprise! Amanda Ladymon, local artist extraordinaire, owner of Ladybug Art Studios, events & marketing coordinator for S & S Art Supply is coming back for a solo exhibition! Amanda is happy to be back showing brand new works, along with some older pieces ranging from 2008 to present. DJ B will be spinning some awesome family-friendly tunes out front.

Amanda’s work is continually evolving and exploratory in process, medium, and conceptual interests. Her more recent works (2011-present) address issues of women and family, along with her love for collaging in various materials, hand-drawn biomorphic abstract images, and found objects. This exhibition will also include her larger paper and wood panel abstracts.

Amanda’s most recent work deals with family imagery and the concept of motherhood. Being a new mother has had the greatest impact on her artistic approach, opening up her visual dialogue into new areas of exploration into imagery, color, and materials. Being a full-time mom and part-time teacher has become a new, exciting adventure that she will continue to address in her work. Amanda Ladymon’s earlier works involve creating a circular dialogue, with one part affecting another, creating an endless flow of biomorphic, organic forms and evolving experimentation with materials. Research on the interior workings of the human body and of plants and ocean life on the macro and microscopic level creates the initial cognitive drive for the work. Balancing a tension through visual relationships of form and color, her mixed media pieces are the product of a natural, self – organizing principle that operates intuitively. There is an endless interplay between the structured and the amorphous or between evolution and entropy.

Amanda Ladymon is a mother of 10-month old Lily, her most precious work of art. She and her husband own and run S & S Art Supply and are very involved in their local community and downtown Main Street’s revitalization efforts. Amanda earned her MFA in Sculpture from USC in 2009. She is an Adjunct Professor at USC’s Art Department and Columbia College Art Department. She is also a free-lance writer for the Free-Times. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Amanda moved to Columbia in 2006 to attend USC. She met her wonderful husband the first week his little art shop in Rosewood opened and well, the rest is history….

Anastasia & Friends

A Way With Watercolors

For the month of May, Anastasia and Friends presents “A Way With Watercolors,” featuring the works of Rachel Parker. The exhibition will be a powerful combination of animals, people, landscape and abstract paintings on paper and canvas, all created with watercolors.

Rachel Parker is a self taught artist who works mainly in watercolors. As the daughter of artist Gretchen Parker, she was raised going to art lessons and watching her mother paint. She has been drawing since she was old enough to hold a pencil and began painting professionally in 2000.

“I work primarily in watercolor because I love the sense of light this medium conveys. In all my paintings, I try to make light the central theme. Dramatic lighting can make a potato sack beautiful. Light is a life-giving force, and this is true in a painting as well – it breathes vitality and a sense of awe into the every day.”
Rachel Parker

Her motivation for creating is to capture what may otherwise go unnoticed, to reveal the beauty in simple moments and objects. Making an image come alive on the paper is her inspiration. Rachel has sold her work nationally and internationally and her work was recently juried into the Atlanta Equestrian Exhibition and was featured on the cover of national magazine “Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.” She paints at night and during weekends and works full time as a school social worker.

The opening reception at the gallery will take place as a part of the First Thursday on Main art crawl on May 2nd, from 6pm to 9pm. Special thanks to Maria Kennedy Mungo for furnishing delicious snacks for our opening event.

“A Way With Watercolors” will run from May 2nd through May 30th at Anastasia & Friends and then from June 1st through August 2nd as a part of the Anastasia & Friends Eat With Art Series at Gervais & Vine. For more information, contact Anastasia Chernoff at 803 665 6902 or email at stasia1825@aol.com.

Wine Down on Main

Brandon Faucett

Wine Down on Main is excited to announce Brandon Faucett as our next artist!  “The footsteps of the master, their angelic abilities, divine like inspirations and historical significances they have created is what inspires me. The human condition, love and spirit is my drive. I have been sketching since I was a child and continued into adulthood. As a machine gunner in 1st battalion 8th Marines I was able to use my skill of sketching in the field for drawing map overlays, landscapes for reconnaissance and range cards.”
“I also work in traditional ornamental hand engraving. I am currently attending school for a welding certification in order to broaden my work. I apply heavy contrast and detail from my sketching ability into other mediums and a more instinctual than professional process.
I believe that art is the opportunity to tap into the divine. Through the art produced by that inspiration I believe one can manifest oneness and contribute to raising the consciousness of society.”

Mast General

We’re thrilled to have John Scollon and Bitteroot playing at Mast in May for First Thursdays.  Here’s a little background on the group from their bio.  “To quote an old Jackson Browne song, John Scollon “Must’ve played in a thousand bands”. A 25+ year veteran of the Columbia SC music scene (and professional puppeteer by day), Scollon spent what he admits was way too long playing cover tunes in local bars. What he gained from his time paying dues in the honky tonks was a beat up guitar case full of road stories and near-life experiences. Now he has finally put his tallish tales to song, and assembled an eclectic group of musicians to form Bitteroot, a band capable of leaping from folksy Americana, to funky jam-rock, to haunting a capella harmonies… often within the framework of a single piece of music.”

The bass guitar addition led the group to Nick McGill. Despite lacking in the height department, the band felt that he may be the drummer for them.

FOM Series presents Martha Epp: A Retrospective Revisited
The wind, rain, and cold kept many of you at home for the February FOM Series. This showing of Martha Epp’s unseen works is a must-see! So, just for YOU…we are holding it over. Even more exciting? We’ve brought in some additional finds from this artist’s private collection to add to our February showing.

This is the first time that we are stepping beyond the bounds of Columbia and South Carolina. We have discovered a “rare” collection of originals from a prominent Western artist who specialized in abstract printmaking.

Many of the works we are featuring are up to 40-50 years old and are either signed by the artist or certified as part of the body of work in progress by her estate upon her death 16 years ago. Her work is recognized and sought after nationally. And now, you will have the opportunity to enjoy and own an original and mostly unshown part of her private collection. The price points make these one-of-a-kinds very accessible for you!

We are pleased to present Martha Epp: A Retrospective. Born in Kansas, Martha Epp received degrees from the University of Northern Colorado and went on to further her studies at University of Denver, University of Colorado, Kirkland School of Art, and California College of Arts and Crafts, as well as privately with Thomas Hart Benton.

Epp taught and was chair of the art department at North High School in Denver from 1948 to 1972, during which she influenced many future artists, including Dale Chisman and John Deandrea. She taught at the Denver Art Museum and exhibited more than 30 times, including shows with the Fifteen Colorado Artists. (Sources for this article include the biography from Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art.)

S&S Art Supply
A Natural Symphony: Works by Rachel Borgman
This First Thursday we have the lovely Rachel Borgman, whose work exudes nature’s beauty with every stroke of her pen and paintbrush. DJ B is back and will be spinnin’ some tunes outside! A recent graduate of USC’s Art Department, her drawings and paintings show an intimate portrayal of animal groups and how the influence of human life and the changing natural world has impacted these creatures. Through detailed patterning, “As a child I often watched horses in nearby pastures and read stories emphasizing animal folklore. The richness of a past world came to life for me through books, artwork, and the natural world. My artwork explores my nostalgia and my search to find meaning in the dreams of youth.”

Borgman’s work describes an ideal co-dependent system of natural sympathies. Overlapping shapes and forms help to imply a connected link between the natural, human, and spiritual world. “What connections can be perceived between the divine and natural world? How does the human individual play into this complex system? The role of animal life in human civilization is representative of an underlying struggle and change…How have these forms adapted to suit their new environments or struggled against conflict and how can we parallel animal lives and societies with our own sense of turbulent social hierarchy? I am interested in how these concepts relate to the individual and the collective of life. “
- Rachel Borgman

Rachel Borgman currently resides in Greenville, SC. She received her BFA with an emphasis in painting from USC in 2012. Her quiet upbringing in the rural South has greatly influenced her work.

Explorations in Memory: Works by Claudia Wilburn
February’s First Thursday on Main at S & S Art Supply will be one fantastic exhibition not to be missed! Former Columbia resident and current Associate Professor of Foundations at Brenau University in Georgia is our featured artist. Her work is moving and ethereal, with layered imagery of some of the south’s most beautiful places and creatures alike. Bob Benjamin will be back, playing his acoustic melodies!

Drawing from memories and personal circumstances she has experienced, Claudia creates large mixed media drawings incorporating digital photography, image transferring, and various mixed media techniques. Influenced by Southern culture, relationships, nature, and travel throughout the Southeast play a significant role within her work. “Traveling has sparked most of the production of sketchbooks since they are full of my journal notes, drawings and photographs of my experiences,” she says. “Most recently I have begun developing a body of work based on cemeteries throughout the South. So far, my work encompasses cemeteries in Columbia and Charleston, SC, Atlanta and Savannah, GA, and New Orleans, LA and I am continuing to build my collection of images throughout the Southeast.”

“The digital output images interact with the drawn material to disguise the parts of the artwork that are rendered and the places that are printed….Crossing boundaries between media helps to create a rich surface that invites your eyes to move within the contrast of textures, gives me more control in the final stages of my work and, re-establishes the physicality of the artist’s hand on the surface of the artwork.”

Claudia Wilburn was born and raised in the Charleston area. She received her Master’s of Fine Art from the University of South Carolina in May of 2008 and her Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Drawing from Clemson University. Currently she is the Assistant Professor of Studio Foundations at Brenau University in Gainesville, GA. She won recognition in being named Young Artist of the Year through the Columbia Museum of Art in the Fall of 2006. She has had four solo exhibitions and shown in over twenty group exhibitions. Most recently, in September 2009 she had a solo exhibition and was a visiting artist at Jacksonville University in Jacksonville Florida. In March of 2012 she had a solo exhibition at Brenau University’s Castelli Gallery.

Anastasia & Friends
Passionate Compassion
For the month of February, Anastasia & Friends presents, Passionate Compassion, an exhibition of black and white graphite drawings and small watercolor paintings by Charleston artist, Bob Graham. Passionate Compassion is a body of work which spans over 20 years of Graham’s life and has never been formally exhibited to the public.

“I create these drawings for myself – for my own personal enrichment and understanding. When I think I’ve finished a piece, it goes straight into a closet or underneath a bed, never to see the light of day again. Some are mere sketches of a fleeting moment, while others are more precise and detailed, but the majority are left unfinished. Maybe, that’s the way it should be – it keeps me grasping for more, searching for that one pure moment, that perfect line that captures the essence of what it means to be alive. I focus on an individual’s thoughts and feelings – their moment of contemplation or self-reflection just before or after an event. The use of black and white, adds drama to the piece as I put my darkest darks next to my whitest whites to further enhance the harshness of their reality. My subjects are usually lone, solitary figures who help to add to the dramatic effect I’m searching to create. I instill in my drawings a level of authenticity and realism to hold the viewer spellbound. The majority of my work is illustrative by nature, as I want to capture the viewer’s eye leaving them wanting more … to be able to know or finish the rest of the story.”
Bob Graham

Graham graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Newberry College and received his MFA in Illustration from The Savannah College of Art and Design. His most recent exhibitions include the 20th Anniversary Juried Art Exhibition at the South Carolina State Museum and the Carolina/Caribbean Connection with the South Carolina Heritage Corridor. Graham exhibits his work regularly across the United States and abroad and is represented in numerous museums, corporate and private collections. His work graces the covers of numerous books and also has several magazine illustrations to his credit.

Passionate Compassion will open as a part of the First Thursday art crawl on February 7th, from 6 pm to 9 pm, and will run through March 1st.

Wine Down on Main
Kristyn Larsen!
Wine Down is excited to show Kristyn Larsen! We will also have wine specials that evening! Whether it be the solitude of one person or the amplitude of a few, the negative space is just as important as the positive. The mistakes are as significant as the perfections. The erasing: essential as the line work. The art of being alive is appreciating the patience it took to accomplishing the bigger picture. Chemistry at large. In a busy environment, people move with spontaneous gestural impulses pulsating as a community of strangers to vibe with and off each other as one unity. They sing, they dance lights’ colors, and they are magic in the choreography of living art.

“For this insight, I draw people. I draw them in geometric shapes, and organic contours and colors using various textures and glazes and in many styles including abstract, expressionistic, academic, figurative, and non figurative, original and repetitive ways reminiscent of life’s ever changing moments and in search for its chaotic culmination.”

Frame of Mind
FOM Series presents Green and Blue Extended: Featuring Kirkland Smith and Chris Carney
January will be the last chance to enjoy this intricate and living installation…FOM has never been SO green! Get ready to enjoy this two-month FOM Series focused on how an artist has turned consumer waste into fine art! These items destined for landfills have found new life in 3-D paintings. And, we’ve never been SO blue. What lies beneath will fill our gallery for your viewing pleasure. Water…everywhere!

Columbia artist, Kirkland Smith, will present a two-part exhibition of work created almost entirely from post-consumer materials collected from friends and family.

During the December FOM Series, she is asking the community to participate in an assemblage she will create by donating eyewear that they no longer need. She plans to unveil the new work as a part of the January FOM Series during First Thursdays on Main.

Kirkland Smith, a classical painter, began creating contemporary Assemblages from post-consumer materials when she entered an environmental art contest in 2008. Using discarded objects as her “paint,” she found an evocative way to deliver the message of the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling.

Her work offers an entertainment value, but also reveals the impact consumerism is creating on our environment. “Each Assemblage is a little piece of our history. It is the story of us today. What we throw away says a lot about who we are, but what we choose to cherish and protect says even more in the end.”

Without this determination to cherish and protect our community, our state, our nation, our planet by reducing, reusing, and recycling, we won’t be able to enjoy the waters which refresh and sustain us. So, as a fitting complement to Kirkland’s recycled art, Frame of Mind is proud to introduce you to the work of one of Columbia’s favorite alternative performers and renowned local grower of coral, Chris Carney. He describes his plans for this two-part FOM Series this way, “There is another world beneath the skin of the ocean. A place that covers more than half of our planet still remains a mystery. This is what I strive to capture. Vignettes of a place many will never see with their own eyes and few will be able to describe. These are not glass boxes; these are snapshots to a world I love, a place I’d like you to know. Dive in, explore.”

A graduate of the University of South Carolina’s Marine Sciences program, Chris owns A Fish Store, a full-service fish and aquarium shop specializing in saltwater fish/aquariums, freshwater fish/aquariums, corals, ponds, design/fabrication/installation/maintenance services. He is also an assistant SCUBA instructor with Wateree Dive Center. For the FOM Series installations and exhibits, he plans to showcase mostly tank-raised livestock/corals. His work will be available for purchase, but custom options are available as well.

S&S Art Supply
Resolution:  Art by Alex Smith
We’re starting the New Year’s First Thursday at S & S off with one of Columbia’s most unique, eclectic artists. Alex Smith has created a series of 365 individual paintings and drawings on pages from a 100-150 year old copy of the 2nd volume of Shakespeare’s completed works, along with possibly some other “ballyhoo” as he puts it. We will also have the lovely musical stylings of Bob Benjamin inside, doing his acoustic arrangements.

The point is that there are a wealth of resolutions laid end to end in one tiny space, and you should look at them closely…perhaps one is yours. The works are intimately sized, approximately 10.5′ wide by 14″ tall. There may also be some video installation works as well.

“‘I’ is another.” -Arthur Rimbaud

Alex Smith refuses to decide. He produces, acts, designs, and directs for the stage; acts in, writes, produces directs, shoots, scores and edits film; is an accomplished and prolific visual artist; has published a book of his poetry; and (given the right circumstances) has been known to sing every now and then. His recent endeavors included a solo show at The Gallery at Trustus in August 2012, ‘guest-curating’ The Jam Room 25th Anniversary show at Anastasia & Friends Gallery, and contributing regularly to Jasper Magazine, where he is a staff writer. He is preparing to portray Jack Kerouac in the short film PRETTY PITIFUL GOD.

Anastasia & Friends
Airbrushed: by Morey Weinstein
For the month of January, Anastasia & Friends is excited to present the art of Morey Weinstein. This exhibition will feature large scale, air brushed paintings which incorporate references from art and popular culture, using acrylic on canvas.

Originally from Long Island, New York, Morey attended the Philadelphia College of Art and the Maryland Institute of Art in Baltimore. His first job was constructing models to showcase designs for clients for a trade-show design firm, which included freelance airbrush illustration for various advertising agencies in Manhattan.

After great success at product rendering and artwork for point of purchase displays, his work generated so much interest, he was offered a full-time illustrator position in Greensboro, North Carolina, which led to more freelance work illustrating tobacco industry artwork with R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.

Then, life led Morey to Florida, where he painted custom designs on motorcycles. Morey currently lives in Columbia, South Carolina, where he spends most of his day painting in his home-studio, and caring for his elderly mother.

The exhibition will run from January 4th through 11th at the gallery on Main Street, then, move to Motor Supply Co. Bistro at 920 Gervais Street in Columbia, as a part of the Anastasia & Friends Eat With Art series from January 14th through February 28th.

Wine Down on Main
Wine Down on Main is excited to present the collective works of Andrew Thomas. ”Sehnsucht is a German term that describes a feeling of unfulfilled nostalgia that has no rational foundation. It is sometimes used to refer to a craving to have a different place in the universe. This sensation can be brought on by a familiar smile or a passing thought; or when the season turns and releases a thousand memories. Everyone experiences this at some point in time.

These works attempt to capture this uncertain desperation, but never to explain it. They reach for an inaccessible future while holding firm to an imperfect past. They are frantic expressions of unfounded reflection. Each one offers a depiction of the indescribable. In other words, these works are solutions waiting for a problem.”

H. Andrew Thomas was born in 1985. He studied Literature and History at the University of South Carolina.

Also featured at the Wine Down, Amelia Mau will be playing classical guitar.

Columbia Museum of Art Gift Shop
The Museum Shop will be open with a great sale on all items for this month’s First Thursday event.  Members enjoy 30% off sale all day and evening, while non-members will save 20%.  Stop by and take a peek at the beautiful new inventory!
