9:00 PM         Brock & Roll Revival  List of showcasing Artiest: 1. Biagio Occhino Engineer and budding Contemporary Artist from Belmont, MA now living in Burlington, MA. Displaying his Art Project called “Art in Every Day Objects”. Which is Art from an Engineer’s viewpoint. Engineers tend to look at the world differently. They see how things work internally and the secrets behind everyday objects. Biagio decided it was time to show this hidden world to others around him and let them reflect on the complexity and Artistic side of what Engineers work on. Link to Art in Every Day objects art statement: http://files.meetup.com/950281/ART_Statement_for_Biagio.pdf
2. David Barnes Photographer. His photography takes a tradition - photographing the fine art nude figure, and branches out to explore new ground. Using a variety of studio lighting techniques, his work has revolved around combining multiple figures to create one form. Over the last 10 years he has incorporated increasing levels of abstraction to a point where his current images only hint at the curves of the human body, with overlapping silhouettes against brightly colored backgrounds.

3. Jay Pendexter Professional artist/painter from Jamaica Plain. specializing in representational nature scenes (landscapes, seascapes, and wildlife) executed in watercolor with pencil, oil pastels, or soft pastels. His watercolors are known as “hard edged” and are usually done on cold pressed paper.( nature scenes executed in watercolors Paints and pastels )

4. Jeff York Professional artist/painter Salem, MA specializing in acrylic as the media for his commercial endeavors. Acrylic paint dries fairly quickly, allows him to repaint as he works, and he finds the colors to be extraordinarily vibrant; The bulk of his paintings are cityscapes of some well-known areas in New England. I have come to use a style that he likes to simply call "bent" in which he distorts the contents of the painting. This is sort of like looking through a glass brick. It is a base of realism mixed with object distortion and sharp, eye-catching bright colors. Website: http://www.art-york.com/Artist.html

James “JB” Finnerty  Colorful Outside the Lines Artist who tends to look on the bright side, although his life’s been miserable in the past.” Creates whimsical drawings - fun little drawn characters or watercolors that exude a happy spirit. As a child he was inspired to draw, in part, by the Muppets, and his artwork often references his love of Jim Henson and comics such as “Get Fuzzy.” His artwork has developed into a more abstract and symbolic style and is exploring a graffiti-like style that is uniquely his own. He associates/connects things to each other in ways that are often unexpected and unusual, and these surprising connections often require some thinking about to understand. He has a novel way of viewing the world, which is an asset for him as a visual artist. Outside the Lines Web site:  http://www.outsidethelinesstudio.org/theartists.html  8. Tony Lake: Outside the Lines Artist who is the creator of ovoid abstractions, often referencing self-portraits that incorporate facial features. His ovals are rich with layers of color that he observes in his surroundings, and the colors often reach out and interact with the surrounding space. Lake’s work has qualities that many abstract expressionist painters aspire to. His choice of color is deliberate, his language of mark making is varied and sensitive, and his pieces hold a balance, like a delicate, liquid ecosystem. Outside the Lines Artist Web site:  http://www.outsidethelinesstudio.org/theartists.html  9. Denise Tupper Outside the Lines Artist whose drawings and paintings are difficult to categorize. They are often crude and colorfully reproduced interpretations of objects and characters with a presupposed significance or meaning – from hearts and flowers to pop cultural icons from children’s books, usually Disney characters. Humor is a huge part of her personality and it comes across in most of her work. Denise makes use of an aesthetic that develops the image of its subject without the desire for realistic representation, instead using mangled, gestural lines that give a playful and sometimes subversive flavor to her work. Outside the Lines Artist Web site:  http://www.outsidethelinesstudio.org/theartists.html  Participating Non Outside the Lines Artist  are donating 20% of their proceeds from any Art sales to Outside the Lines Studios a Non Profit since they are letting us use their space. We plan on putting out like a donation jar / box too to collect money for Outside the Lines Studios as well.
