dale newkirk

Newkirk's artwork for the past 15 years has moved within a visual language of geometric forms, shapes, and most importantly color. This has evolved over time out of an interest in the internal relationships within the artwork, which are realized through an intuitive process of improvisation. As in Jazz, improvisation is a response to an internal structure in the music that is responded to, added on to, and then revised repeatedly to create the final form. In order to work intuitively, he invents something to respond to at the beginning of the process. This might be a series of lines, a grid, or a linear diagram, which is not a road map, but a starting point. The struggle is in getting the artwork to come together into a unified whole while at the same time having a visual presence.

james beaman

Originally from North Carolina, artist James Beaman has lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for over 20 years. Well known for his multilayered color field paintings, Beaman's work is about his process. He is interested in the instinctual application of opaque and translucent color. Both additive and reductive techniques create the final cohesive state of the canvas.

randy asprodites

Randy Asprodites' thought-provoking paintings are minimal in subject matter and design and yet incredibly detailed in their construction. His pale color palette is a soft backdrop for geometric drawings and abstract geometry. A native of New Orleans, Asprodites holds an MFA from Indiana State University (1978) and a BFA from Nicholls State University (1971). Currently on faculty at Southeastern Louisiana University, Asprodites also taught for the Department of Studio Art at Loyola University of New Orleans. In 2014, he celebrated his retirement from Brother Martin High School in New Orleans where he had been a teacher and coach for 35 years.

cameron ritcher

Cameron is a nationally represented non-objective painter and assemblage artist. He graduated from James Madison University in May 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Studio Art. "My work spans a large range visually and conceptually, but the unifying idea that seems to drive all of my work is an obsession with the tactile. In addition to a striking tactile presence, the Intersect series pieces explore light and color theory."
