September 12th - October 2nd: The Hexagon presents: REbirth/DEcay, an exhibition of local artists who interpret concepts of rebirth and decay, curated by Anna Louise Jiongco. Featured artists include: Sarah El-Jellad, Jared T. Fischer, Brian Casey, Scotbot, and Anna Louise Jiongco.
A recent graduate from Towson University with her BA in Painting, Sarah El-Jellad uses organic transformations of color and space to express gruesome and delinquent figuration. In this exhibition, El-Jellad explores ideas relating to wounds inspired by her mother’s terminal illness and eventual passing away. Many of the “wounds”depicted in this body of work are tumors, which are chosen to reflect the medical and emotional understanding of growth.
Jared T. Fischer studied English literature at Goucher University. Fischer investigates conflicts between material and surface to suggest the rebirth and decay of his own consciousness and working process. Fischer is a mixed-media artist who also explores writing, music, and performance in his art as well as in his band Mr. Moccasin.
Brian Casey is currently a student at the Aveda Beauty School. He uses his experiences with graffiti, fashion, and escapism to create works that layer color and dynamic lines. Many of his works are an interplay of figure and space, blurring the lines between style, fashion, expression and energy.
Scotbot is a current MICA student, originally from Washington, DC. Scotbot is known for DJing high-energy dance parties in DC and uses his talent across mediums to visually promote his musical endeavors. Many of Scotbot's artworks demonstrate the same exuberance and energy
that he invests in creating these dance parties and can easily depict them in his work.
Anna Louise Jiongco is currently a student at Towson University and continuing her photographic studies at MICA. Anna Louise expresses whimsical situations that are a little awkward, humorous, sexual, and surreal. Using abstractions of space and figure, Anna Louise creates spaces reinterpreted as another way of looking at psychological dimensions. Many of her works can be seen as social and emotional critiques more often with performance art and photography but are still highly evident through her paintings as well.
The Hexagon is a community run gallery and performance space in the Station North Arts District of Baltimore, Maryland. The focus of the space is to eliminate segregation in the community by providing a forum for collaboration between artists of diverse backgrounds, to mentor local arts organizers, and to provide educational public arts
workshops. Our facilities and services are made available to all artists who need a place to exhibit, perform, or create their original artwork, especially those who cannot obtain space to exhibit or perform from traditional sources because of financial or other limitations.
