Cate Pasquarelli
Cate Pasquarelli’s sculptures look to depict environments that identify with their inhabitants. Steepled churches, colonial-style houses, and white picket fences – the loaded imagery we associate with pastoral American life – becomes distorted and deformed in her work. Her miniatures explore concepts of collaborative memory, sentimentality, and imagined histories. Through the nuances of setting and built environment, Pasquarelli gives life to the speculative residents of her scenes—their traditions, nostalgias, hopes, and unease toward the future.
Cate Pasquarelli has exhibited work at The Brooklyn Museum; Perrotin; and The Shed, all in New York, among others.

Artist
Kent Merriman
Pursuing a form of representational painting in which the paint itself becomes the object, Kent Merriman creates hyper-realistic works by methodically building layers of paint with a brush, remaining committed to traditional materials such as oil and acrylic. Rather than casting objects from paint, the act of painting to construct the form, working in the vein of trompe-l’oeil and the illusion of objects. Merriman chooses and paints these objects as a way of working through feelings, using them as metaphors.
Kent Merriman has exhibited work at Bel Ami, Los Angeles; Glenbow Museum, Alberta; and L’INCONNUE, Québec, among others.
