Kaleidoscope

Antoinette Wysocki, a mixed media painter & abstract collage artist works in upstate New York. She incorporates aspects of randomness and control into each of her works, allowing symbols and use of raw materials to take center stage.

"These works reflect our arrival, navigation, and metamorphosis through our current climate, into the newest version of ourselves. Amongst the visual aesthetic pleasure of color bombs; tiny details uncover deeper embedded imagery, creating emergent synergy and interactivity between work and viewer."

In addition to the images of mathematical whimsy produced by the word, Kaleidoscope carries additional semantic weight as the word for a group of butterflies. Not a school, not a swarm, a kaleidoscope supplants chaos with organic mathematical order.

Wysocki's use of mixed media to create collages is one informed by her artistic process which demands chance, control, and repeated analysis to create work through multiple stages.

Flowers being analogous to butterflies in natural imagery Detiger creates vibrant, methodical linework; roots and vines, petals and stocks flourish wildly yet comprise themselves of highly ordered systems. Jonny's flowers are a call to cherishing life in its most mundane moments.
