From Rubble to Relic
Jeremy Siedt is an artist, painter, creator from the Philadelphia region in Pennsylvania. His work explores the boundaries and potential of corrosive metals in painting. Jeremy looks to capture the color and movement that occurs in the properties of individual metals during the process of corrosion. He has had both a formal and informal education in the creative endeavor. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Tyler School of Art and a Masters from University of the Arts Philadelphia. He grew up in a blue collared family, working with his hands was all he knew. Everything from carpentry, welding, sports, landscaping and auto mechanics formed his methodology on creating raw visceral works that embrace impermanence and the recording of the bodies gesture through color and texture . He heads the Fine Art Department at a local college in Pennsylvania where he teaches Painting, Drawing, 2-D Design, Art History and Sculpture. His studio is a place of risk and possibility where process takes charge which allows reaction and alchemy to merge as one.
To Die For
Philip J Palmieri is a figurative oil painter who explores contradictions in the ideal beauty. Informed by his medical background, he depicts both the external and internal, health and illness. Using found photos from medical textbooks and media along with the live model, he hopes to redefine what is beautiful. His figures demonstrate that traditional beauty can come at a cost to what resides deeper inside all of us. Although not formally trained, he has studied under a host of artists in Minneapolis, Dallas and Austin, Texas. For several years, he had studied with Marta Jaremko at the Artist Studio in Delmar, NY. He has participated in en plein air and figurative painting and print making seminars in Tuscany and Provincetown, MA. He has shown his work in numerous local, regional and national group exhibitions. Several of his oil paintings are in private collections.
