Strongly influenced by Abstract Expressionism in the intuitive process and the gestural quality, these works combine loose color patches and dithery marks into narratives about attempts at communication. Sylvia Jung moved to Boulder from Berlin, Germany eight years ago. Sylvia has been an engineer as well as a housewife and mother, and recently redirected her professional interests to art. She completed her BFA in 2008 at CU Boulder and has begun showing her work in different venues in the Denver area including the Arvada Center and Spark Gallery. She became a member of Denver's Sliding Door Gallery in 2008. Stephen Daniel Karpik (SDK) exhibits a new group of paintings that encompass primary influences in aesthetic composition with an emphasis on color, encrypted symbolism and wry humor. Stephen Daniel Karpik is a self-taught and multidisciplinary artist with a focus on expressionist painting, experimental audio and chance poetry. A Denver resident for the past 10 years, Stephen has been active in the Denver arts community since arriving here. One of his most recent accomplishments was helping establish and manage a non-profit arts organization for kids. He is an avid cyclist with a love for all animals (especially ducks and dogs). Steven joined Sliding Door in mid-2008. Sliding Door Gallery 766 Santa Fe Drive Denver, CO 80204 720.979.4448 Tue/Thu/Fri: 2:00 to 6:00 pm Sat: 12:00 to 4:00 pm http://slidingdoorgallery.com
