Camilla Fallon

Camilla Fallon’s paintings explore the interplay between light, form and my body. Working with the body this way, Fallon creates unpredictable shapes and spaces. It allows for a different kind of exploration into the interplay between light, forms and emotive content.

Kim Smith Claudel

Kim Smith Claudel searches for moments along the creative process in which gestures of physical forces intersect with the ephemeral magic of being. Claudel’s work intersects painting, sculpture, and performance while utilizing a variety of natural, discarded, and technological media — often created within limitation or rule sets.

Kristin Osterberg

Chase Cantwell grew up in Trenton, NJ, majored in Painting at CW Post College, LIU and received his BFA from there he migrated to New York City in 1978. There Cantwell came to paint storefronts and eventually portraits. Having a day job for 25 years in the music business Cantwell took care of major recording projects and worked for just about every recording label there was. At night he went home to paint in isolation.  Eventually Cantwell would show in 1997 at Gallery Asyl in New York’s burgeoning Chelsea area.  After 9/11 he moved out of the city back New Jersey to raise his two children and then they moved back closer to New York City and he began to find his art community.  Cantwell took up encaustic painting to transform what was going on in oil only to realize that medium was excellent for him to portray an earlier love of geometrical abstraction. Stripes, Walking Lines, Curved, By Inference, and Cubes are all series involving a simple motif like the stripe and evolving it. After a decade of working in encaustic Cantwell turned back to oil to create his Artist Portrait Project where he is painting various artists in his community to be shown February 2023 at The Painting Center in New York City. Cantwell maintains a studio practice in West Orange, NJ and also teaches encaustic privately and at the Visual Art Center of NJ. Cantwell is collected here and abroad. He has been in countless exhibitions throughout the United States.

Kristin Osterberg lives and works outside New York City. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and has shown in and around the New York area. Osterberg’s moody, painterly approach sets itself against the insta-compositions of social media. She edits and reimagines. She leaves faces unclear. She invents color palettes. She picks up on implications beyond the photographer’s intentions. These might be images from any family’s past. Her paintings seem to ask, “Remember this?” and invite the response, “Yes. Maybe.” Kristin Osterberg sifts through boxes and albums of old photos to find points of departure. Naively, often clumsily shot, they embody a certain authenticity nonetheless. People dimly recalled. Unidentifiable places occupied by siblings, parents, and grandparents. Forgotten childhood events. They’re springboards into an uncanny gallery of familiar and strange, remembered and forgotten, distinct and blurred.
