Sue Bolles elevates humble household objects and appliances into works of art. Gregory Brisson is strongly influenced by German Expressionism. Gauche's imagination is fueled by narratives of far-flung travels, traditions and myths, as well as devastating hardships both physical and psychological.
Sue Bolles elevates humble household objects and appliances into works of art.
She depicts her subject matter using bright, exaggerated colors and well-defined
shadows. Larger pieces are painted against a background of commercial plywood.
Unimportant and overlooked household goods emerge prominent and celebrated. The
monotype series, “Cleaning Supplies” are printed on a Mailänder proofing press by
master printer Francesco X Siqueiros of El Nopal Press in Los Angeles, California.
Each picture holds a hidden and unacknowledged emotional power. They fill our
lives yet we rarely examine who we really are as consumers or acknowledge our debt
to these objects for bringing us lives of convenience. Sue is also a professional
production designer for feature films and television.

Gregory Brisson is strongly influenced by German Expressionism. He enjoys working
with color and bringing the composition together with line and form. Subject
matter comes from deep within his imagination but is sometimes influenced by the
outside sources. Whimsical themes often find their way into his work, creating a
bridge from his background of formal training to the naiveté of outsider art.
Greg has works in several private collections in Los Angeles.

Gauche’s imagination is fueled by narratives of far-flung travels, traditions and
myths, as well as devastating hardships both physical and psychological. The
resulting insistence on seeing beauty and even redemption in the absurd was
fostered in Los Angeles, as Gauche came of age in the quintessential neighborhood
of Hollywood and Vine. To Gauche, Tinseltown’s glorious dream machine, underscored
by the human drama of failed actors, junkies, hookers, immigrants, conmen, and
go-getter entrepreneurs, were the keys to an understanding of art as a “cardinal
power broker” between naked reality and the realm of the spirit.
