KAT KLERKS BIOGRAPHY

Being raised by a creative, imaginative, and surrealistic-painter father, Kat Klerks was stimulated to explore the many opportunities life would offer her and let nothing but reality stand in her way; “You can dream, but don’t let dreams be your master”. 

Spending many years in search of what her exact art form would be, Abstract Expressionism and Fauvism finally found her. Constantly seeking for balance of imperfection in both colors and forms, Klerks realizes it is the imperfection that creates sense in her paintings. “I am learning more and more about the why of what I make. For example, when my daughter was born, I started using a lot of pink without really realizing it. And since our beach house I make other shapes through what I see around me. During the time of Covid-19, I’ve had an enormous need for color, for cheerfulness.”

Kat Klerks has now gathered a large following all over the globe and has found representation in Paris, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Belgium, and now in the United States. Klerks work currently adorns an ample array of walls, from grand villas to tiny houses to the walls of the new leading luxury boutique hotels Lou Pinet (St. Tropez), Croisette Beach Sofitel (Cannes), August (Antwerp) and The Park Centraal Hotel (Amsterdam).

PAUL YANKO BIOGRAPHY

Since 2004 Youngstown, Ohio native Paul Yanko has been teaching in the Visual Arts Department at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville, South Carolina. He received an M.F.A. in painting from Kent State University in 1995 and a B.F.A in illustration from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1991. While residing in Ohio, Yanko exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions at institutions including the Cleveland Museum of Contemporary Art and the McDonough Museum of Art. In 2002 he was the recipient of an Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Grant.

His work is included in private and public collections including the Cleveland Clinic, The Greenville County Museum of Art, and the Contemporary Carolina Collection at MUSC in Charleston, SC.

Since 2002, his work has focused on developing a response to abstraction that addresses nuances of color and surface along with the representation of flat and illusionistic space. In a recent statement he describes his work as “an ongoing exploration in the development of disparate and complex surface qualities reconciled through various means of paint application.  I develop imagery by alternating between a cycle of successive applications of fluid mixtures and the use of masking to create more sharply defined profiles.  Through intensive layering I can construct, obscure and embed elements within a loosely grid based matrix. I am at once supporting a fixed alignment with the grid and subverting it by allowing elements to move beyond defined boundaries.”

RAISHAD GLOVER BIOGRAPHY

Raishad JaBar Glover was born 1980 in Heidelberg, Germany. Glover attended The Governor’s School for the Arts in Greenville, SC; attended New Orleans Center for Creative Arts in New Orleans, LA (High School Diploma); attended Xavier University of LA; attended Tufts University, School of Museum for Fine Arts in Boston, MA (Studio Diploma); attended Yale University, Yale School of Art in New Haven, CT (MFA). 

Glover considers himself a Conceptual artist who practices with mediums such as Lenticular Printing, Graphite Powder, Bees wax, Dura-trans/backlit Film, Analog/Digital Photography and LED Lights. 

Previously, Raishad has taught, Sustainable Architectural Design at Putney Student Travel, Computing Specialist at Yale University Digital Media Center for the Arts and Visual Communication at Southern Arkansas University, to name a few. He is currently an Assistant Professor teaching Digital Design and Studio Art at Claflin University in Orangeburg SC. Glover lives and works in Columbia SC.

“My art process leads with the notion of diligence and simplicity applicable to innovative culture and traditional media. Exercising principles and design elements, such as rhythm value, line, and color, to name a few, guides my development. The complementary studies that inspire my studio habits are Community Networking Formats, Ecological Design Services, and Visual Systems.

My objective is to facilitate the movement of art and design foundations, within a nurturing studio environment, by cherishing semantic aesthetics, including the praxis of structured productivity from conventional methods, algorithmic perception, and abstract concepts. These current design objectives administer an open source of solutions, involving awareness on problem-solving, historical perspective, and practical/theoretical proficiency.

Through medium practices and fundamental foundations, it influences my research on pragmatical exploration, self-awareness, and commits to a heightened study on how progressive art and design styles have motivated relationships and environments.”
