FOUND
Nancy Hejna
The use of “found” material (recycled canvases, wood doors, cutting boards, drawers, window frames and screens, paneling, clippings from a 1956 Good Housekeeping magazine, a bowling trophy)is a common element of this body of work comprised of 2 and 3 dimensional pieces by Riverside artist, Nancy Hejna. For her, found surfaces suggest composition and add dimension to a piece. Sometimes the subject matter requires a search for the right surface, but more often the surface suggests the subject, ranging from traditional landscapes, industrial and agricultural scenery, or more personally based collage and sculpture. Typically, Hejna paints landscapes she has experienced first-hand, or those that have an internal sense of place for her. She continues to be inspired by 19th century painters; pre-impressionistic, painterly artists who border on the atmospheric such as Whistler, Turner, and Innes. She also draws from Midwest iconic scenery (farm/factory) often reflected in the stark, nostalgic black and white photography of David Plowden.

Jeffery Cote de Luna
New Paintings: Remixed and Reset
Cote de Luna’s paintings are derived from master
works downloaded from the Internet. With the assistance
of the computer, he averages the tones of each image
to a single pixel of color consisting of certain percentages
of red, green, and blue. Physical mixtures of the colors
are then made in the studio in oil and wax and applied
to stretched canvases in thin layers that are subsequently
scraped off. Further layers of paint are similarly applied
in an attempt to accurately match the backlit tones
on the monitor. This process, along with the materials
used, results in soft, luminous “non-colors”
that are a combination of chromatic physical mixtures,
and optical overlapping mixtures. Color temperatures
and surface variations are revealed slowly.
This exhibit introduces several new multi-paneled paintings
that while still quantitatively considered are more
subjective in their interpretation of their source material.
He will also be exhibiting two new pixilated paintings
derived from drawings.
