Work In Progress (WIP) Exhibition from Steven Allison, Katherine Del Rosario, and Summer Young

Our work portrays different systems of support. The people who have shaped and lifted us in times of trouble, chaos and change. These portraits of others demonstrate how people continue to shift us in ways that allow us to return to authentic versions of ourselves. The multitudes of people transform us for the better, never leaving us the same.

To be a part of any collective requires intention, collaboration, mutual respect, genuine criticism, and the willingness to be honest and vulnerable with one another. The All Eyes on You Juried Group Exhibition is a rare selection of talented Phoenix-based artists who have been chosen by our current artist members. The exhibition runs from June 16th until July 9th.

All of us face conditions that impede the creation and display of our best selves. Susan Allred deals with chronic arthritis pain, but others may have a different physical or mental health ailment. Maybe your chronic condition is a thorny relationship that will never improve or an unsatisfying career. The quilt of our universal experiences is pieced from an infinite variety of conditions, each as unique as the person who lives with it.

Whatever the specific symptoms, each of us adapts in attempt to counteract those chronic conditions and lessen their impact on our lives. Sometimes our adaptations are beautiful, enveloping the condition to transform it and us. Other modifications are not effective—worse, they can become a horror show that damages ourselves and our loved ones. Occasionally, it's hard for outsiders to tell the difference between the beautiful and the grotesque.

Our work is slow and meditative. We work to focus the noise around us: to make it mean something, or sometimes to block it out completely. Our finished objects speak without noise. They stand alone, open to thought, meaningful—whether or not we talk about them. 

"Quieted" is an exhibition of our in-progress and finished works. Please look at the works for what they are now and chat with us about what they might become. We'd love to hear what you think they say now, what else they could say to viewers, and how they stand together.

The Static is the second part of a three-part project (The Silence, The Static, & The Horizon). Each series represents experiences processing trauma through finding place. The Static is when gravity is in limbo, and reality is just out of reach. Photographs are a suspension of belief. To Buzzy Sullivan, the process is shooting an arrow straight into the air and believing for one little moment that it won’t come back down to earth. That is the same analogy he would use to describe the Static of trauma. These pictures represent a work in process and, when complete, may look different than the pictures hanging here.

Eye Lounge presents Fold/Unfold, an exhibition featuring works from our current artist members. The exhibition, running from March 17th to April 9th during Art Detour, focuses on the juxtaposition of personal and external realities. The artists explore the dichotomy of embracing change versus sticking to one's reality, and whether it's possible to actualize opposing realities. Fold/Unfold is a collection of pieces that delve into themes of growth, release, and unlearning past burdens. The artists collectively examine how contrary realities can be a driving force that propels one forward without limitations in their personal lives and surrounding environments.

Tender Passage is Shorty Greene’s second solo exhibition at Eye Lounge opens Feb 17th. In this self-curated exhibition, the artist shares a collection of mixed-media collages. Using the sun as a camera proxy to assist in their creative practice. The works bear a dynamic blue hue which is a distinctive feature of a Cyanotype.

Hyewon Yoon presents a recent body of work consisting of drawings of mountains with pen on canvas or panel. These mountains represent the artist's feelings of homesickness, longing for loved ones, and a sense of timelessness. The vastness of the mountains symbolizes the endlessness of the sky, and their depth represents a sense of peacefulness. Through these works, Yoon strives to create a sense of inner calm for herself and to share her appreciation for the beauty of nature with others.

Eye Lounge artists, Steven Allison, Buzzy Sullivan & Megan Driving Hawk give viewers a peak into select works in progress that will be featured in their upcoming solo exhibitions later in 2023.
