NOW SEE THIS: CFEVA presents their 2011 fellows

Blindspots, Arden Bendler Browning

Philly's Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA) gets over 300 applicants for its very selective fellowship. Just nine were chosen. An exhibit featuring their work opened last night, and is going to be on display at Moore College's Widener Foundation Memorial Gallery (20th St. and Benjamin Franklin Pkwy) until March 9th.

Lewis Colburn

Arden Bendler Browning, Philadelphia -- Making large, mural-sized paintings on tyvek, her works are a direct response to her experience of the urban environment—overlapping, noisy, and fluctuating. Lewis Colburn, Philadelphia -- His installation works deal with the manipulation of history and recreating scenes from the past in order to explore them in contemporary life. Don Edler, Brooklyn -- Having a strong interest in the structure of the universe, as well as the cosmos and physics, his sculptures examine these phenomena in hopes of understanding them.

Mami Kato

Mami Kato, Philadelphia -- A sculpture artist originally from Japan. Her sculptures combine influences from memories of rice fields in Japan and quantum cosmology. Daniel Kornrumpf, Yardley, PA -- He has experience in painting and furniture design, but currently expresses himself through embroideries. His works are influenced by social networking - how we view ourselves personally, as well as, how we are all similar and connected. Maggie Mills, North Wales, PA -- Fascinated by the often blurred lines between the natural and industrial, her paintings depict contemporary ruin: decomposition of nature and industry, technology's effect on time and space, and the individual in current society.

Kimberly Witham

Alison Stigora, West Chester -- Explores creation and the creative process through visceral materials, site-specific fabrications, and drawing. Stigora uses branches, which have been blackened, to create physical lines in 3D works and as charcoal in her drawings. Jennifer Williams, NY -- Living in a constant state of flux, we are unable to observe every space we walk through. This installation artist highlights what we often overlook so that, in the future, we are more aware of our environments. Kimberly Witham, High Bridge, NJ -- Her contemporary home-magazine-style photographs look at suburban comfort and the tension of humans and nature contrasted with the aftermath of our consumption.
