Eric Michael Corrigan

“I remember seeing the first generation of Shepard Fairey’s Andre The Giant stickers all around Boston in ’89 and thinking how inspiring that movement was. Bands like The Ramones and Talking Heads in New York and The Cars and The Real Kids back home in Boston had a new sound that was exciting. I was influenced by their messages and read the cult classics. My record collection grew ten times as did my library.” - Eric Michael Corrigan

Eric Michael Corrigan’s paintings fluctuate between complete and partial abstraction with recognizable imagery peppering much of his current body of work. Floating heads, cages, chairs, and cone shapes drift through the picture plane in varying color pallets, from dark blues and blacks to bright pinks and oranges. Influenced by pop and graffiti artists of the 1980’s, such as Keith Harring, Raymond Pettibon, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Corrigan effortlessly blends those influences to create his own unique artistic style.

Livia Stein

"These objects whether made in paint, ink or chalk, canvas or paper, are mirrors of my life. They represent a limited perception, a window for my memory and inclination. They slant and tilt and present a large-scale diary. They are my Interior Dramas." - Livia Stein

Livia Steins’ bold, gestural paintings showcase everyday objects, which evoke the artist’s memories, observations, and experiences. Piles of rocks, pet birds on pedestals and boxing gloves, placed against lavish backgrounds, serve as key imagery in the work. These disparate objects, punctuated by vibrant colors, are “mindful inventions on a two dimensional plane.” Stein received an MA from San Francisco State University at the Center for Interdisciplinary and Experimental Art in 1983.
