Using successive steps in a process that directs their unique natural series of changes, artists Paula Maratea and Ray Schutte respond to the impact technology is having on our environment and respond with their current exhibition, Interface.

Paula Maratea’s paintings are derived from thoughtful contemplation about the internet and the relevancy of painting in a digital world. Citing technological changes in how people communicate, document and “see things” as the source of her inspiration, Paula questions the legitimacy of her existence as a painter.

Ray Schutte builds images layer upon layer imposing computer generated forms on top of shapes found in nature. The resulting interplay becomes the subject matter. He provides a direct confrontation with nature through sensation and symbolism.
