Joe Völlan (from Seattle, now based in Buffalo) has a distinct and eerie style he calls doom folk art. His works describe tales of heartache and adventure. The bulk of his paintings take place in the city of Rusted Gallows, a post apocalyptic, rundown factory town populated by secret skeleton societies and strange but friendly creatures. The characters in his works demonstrate that there can be contentment and hope in an otherwise dilapidated world.
Ana Luna has created art for album covers and children’s books, focusing most recently in digital drawing and acrylic painting. Born in 1989 in Guanajuato, México, she started her creative path in the area of graphic design before switching full time to pursue a degree in fine arts in the University of Guanajuato. Her paintings in this exhibit portray themes such as death, magic, and fate, mixing colorful backgrounds and bleak themes into surreal landscapes.
Seattle-based artist Ego Shoreclay, (professionally known as Ego), creates highly detailed portraits that are beautifully frightening and charmingly mischievous. Ego is a self taught fine-artist, and his interest in pop-culture is an influential element in his work. He has experimented with many types of media in creating his unique artwork; reminiscent of paintings based in classical techniques.
