In the exhibition All Things You See PASC artists, Eric Green and Renee Rogan represent two approaches to expressive representation. Eric’s style is defined by vibrant and ferocious line-work, with fields of feverishly scribbled colors in colored pencil and wax pastel. His artworks depict poetic narratives of people, animals, objects and architecture, accompanied by evocative lengthy titles, such as “All Day Living Colorful Arts Pictures of The History”, or “The Windows Buildings of The United States, or “The Dog House and Clouds and Rain Drops”. These titles sometimes function like Zen Koans, statements that are also questions, stripping existence down to its true nature, like Eric’s title for the artwork used as the name of this exhibition.

While Renee’s artwork is defined by more ponderous gestures layered over weeks of labor. Her artwork features scenes of figures interacting with objects, rendered as geometric forms reminiscent of expressionistic MC Esher like tesseracts or other four-dimensional forms. These figures are depicted in bold and contrasting colors, created using a wide range of media including acrylic, watercolor, markers and paint marker.

This marks the first two person survey exhibition for these artists who work from separate studios, but show a kinship in their vigorous styles. Showing a wide range of their artworks together presents a unique opportunity to place them in conversation and witness how their styles have grown strong over the last two years.
