Dylan Fish, “Ren & Stimpy”, 6′ x 4′, acrylic latex enamel, spray paint, 2014

Super Phat – Dylan Fish

This work derives from the mischief, mayhem and intimacy of eating cereal while watching Saturday morning cartoons. Suspended between the saturated visual overload of cartoon violence and the stillness of sitting on a couch in pajamas, Super Phat strives to find visual pleasure in all that is inherently gross.

Neon Signs – Craig Budovitch

In my current series of paintings, I project an amalgamation of iconography from seasonally touristic destinations and places I have lived. Neon signs function in my work as landmarks for a community while also representing a historic relic or tourist attraction.

Living on the Edge – Region 5 Exhibition

Eastern Shore Artists engage the edge of the land/sea daily. Because we live on this edge- of the province, of the Atlantic Ocean, we have a deep sense of the metaphor of being on the edge of a beautiful but untrustworthy entity.
