"Particle Physical" is an exhibition of eleven gallery artists that create art from 
an exhausting accumulation of minuscule parts. 

The exhibition includes paintings by Dan Hernandez and Shigeru Oyatani, 
assemblages by Jeff Doran, Christian Faur and D. Dominick Lombardi, and 
drawings by William Brovelli, Paul Glabicki, Blanche Nettles Powers, Diane 
Samuels, Jim Toia and Susan Chrysler White.

Blanche Powers

Fascinated by Spanish moss and its iconic relation to the Deep South, Blanche 
Nettles Powers' Tillandsia Usneoides (Spanish moss) abstractions are a 
culmination of numerous months of experimenting with its prolific characteristic.  

Christian Faur

Christian Faur uses thousands of individually hand cast wax crayons to explore 
the complexity of the pixel in digital photography. Faur recreates what is hidden 
from our visual perception by replacing the pixel with crayons. 

D. Dominick Lombardi

D. Dominick Lombardi uses particles of sand and found objects to constitute 
the core of his Urchins. His creatures comment on the satisfied consumer filled 
with cheap and hopeless goods.

Dan Hernandez

Dan Hernandez blurs boundaries and calls into question our notions of 
iconography, collectibles, and devotion. His Genesis series is an accumulation 
of imagery culled from video game graphics and Early Renaissance art. 

Diane Samuels

Drawing minute circles with a very fine pen, Diane Samuels spent months 
"mapping" small sections of her street at a 1:4 scale on handmade Abaca 
paper. Each Mapping Sampsonia drawing contains over a quarter-million 
filigree-like circles. 

Jeff Doran

Jeff Doran's Standing Assembly sculptures are an accumulation of difference in 
similar parts. Constructed from electrostatic coated welded steel cloth that is 
twisted and sewn into a variety of pieces of different sizes and assembled at 
various angles. 

Jim Toia

Jim Toia's Web drawings, natural masterpieces of architecture, acknowledge 
both strength and fragility. Their structures are a magnificent array of 
microscopic forms. 

Paul Glabicki

Paul Glabicki's Order series began with an Internet search of the word "Order." 
Each drawing is the artist's selection and orchestration of hundreds of images 
drawn from each search. 

Shigeru Oyatani

Through the build-up of oil paint, Shigeru Oyatani combines elements of 
abstraction and representation, pattern and grid, and surface and illusion.

Susan C. White

Susan Chrysler White's pictorial spaces build to a crescendo on the surface, 
competing for air space, trapped with no exit strategy, all alluding to our 
relationship with the natural world and the human psyche.

William Brovelli

William Brovelli's Timeline series has a specific focus on the progression of the 
mark. Characters are drawn onto a panel until the image area is filled to 
capacity.
