COHEN-BANKER
(UNITED STATES)Banker sees painting as a kind of performance or action, in which the overlapping brush strokes, colors, and shapes are themselves the building blocks of a nascent esthetics. Objects are absorbed and transformed for the sake of beauty, as the artist moves towards abstraction. Twenty years ago, Banker began by painting a world crowded with objects taken from life: umbrellas, bicycles, apples. In her more recent works, such as her rough approximations of cityscapes or her interpretations of opera, she seems to be increasingly devoted to the abstract. Also, there is more freedom in the handling of paint: her strokes seem to be swifter and she handles her colors ever more whimsically. Banker is someone who is at home in the nonobjective world. As time goes by and as her style evolves, more and more - and this is true about most artists from the fifteenth century on - it is the act of painting itself that concerns her, rather than the registration of objects.
DAY
(UNITED STATES)My work addresses perception and assumption, representation and reality, duality, fantasy and perversity. The images are made to operate on more than one level. Res ipsa loquitor.
TIMMONS
(CANADA)My Statement is one word - patience. Patience is the capacity to put up with pain, troubles, difficulties, hardship etc. without complaint or ill temper. It is the ability to wait or persevere without losing heart or becoming bored.
