Mad Art Gallery presents "An Aerial Landscape" new paintings by Julie Malone and "Sometimes You Just Know" photographs by Justin Visnesky. Julie's paintings are inspired by views and reactions to our environment. Combining color, expression, and structure, Julie's expresses spontaneous reactions to common events experienced in our culture. She transforms these experiences into abstractions viewed from her created aerial perspective. Julie Malone was born in Kansas City in 1971. She received a BFA in Studio Art/Painting from Central Missouri State University in 1995 and moved to St. Louis in 1996. She began her career as a digital designer working within the decorative laminate industry. Trained in the figurative, Julie's work evolved into the abstract. Influenced by life and living, color theory and digital imagery, her work took on a neo-cubist style. She prefers to paint on wood panels and composite surfaces, all of which she hand builds, joins, and frames. Justin Visnesky grew up in a village in Pennsylvania, went to college in Jimmy Stewart's hometown of Indiana, Pennsylvania, and now lives kind of close to the Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. He makes photographs of the simple,
quiet times in life; taking the ordinary and making it something more, something for the keeping.
