About the Artist:

Jo Hamilton was born and grew up in Scotland. She moved to Portland in the 1990’s after graduating from the Glasgow School of Art. Her work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. and worldwide and is in numerous private and public permanent collections including the Portland Art Museum and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.

Integrating drawing and painting with the craft of crochet, Jo Hamilton creates figurative art with post-consumer materials. The resulting fabric is a net that filters and transforms traditionally dominant gender stereotypes and fine art genres. The artist utilizes scale and the male nude as subject, to directly address the important social issues and conventions concerning the history of objectification of women in western art.

About the Artist:

Alex Kuno lives and works in the Lowertown Arts District in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1999. He paints surreal illustrative fantasies that evoke the strange savagery of medieval fairy tales. Pulling inspiration from historical, medical, and botanical illustrations, Kuno’s corporeal and, at times, monstrous subjects disturb and delight us into otherworldly dimensions.
