Frontini, a resident of Cleveland Heights, received a B.F.A. from Cleveland Institute of Art in 1990 and an M.F.A. from Ohio State University in 1992. Frontini’s work combines comfortable technical sophistication and a persuasive and confident appropriation of art history. In specific, the paintings look a little like renaissance Italy, a little like mid 20th century surrealism, and a lot like today.

Elaine Battles: Porcelain Forms
Yong Han, Artemis Herber, Matthew Kolodziej
Like last summer’s popular and critically celebrated Painting 2003, the exhibition shows current ideas in painting with a selection of work by three artists, curated by Gallery Director William Busta.
Yong Han was born in 1966 in South Korea. He came
to the United States in 1983. He attended Eastern Connecticut State
University, then the Cleveland Institute of Art, receiving a B.F.A.
in 1992. In 1994 he received an M.F.A. from the University of Pennsylvania.
His exhibitions include Despite the Odds, Spaces (1997);
Drawn Together, Cleveland Institute of Art (1997, 1998, 1999);
Club Illusion, Julie Fedevich & William Busta (1999);
and Cleveland Artists, Here Here Gallery, Cleveland (2003).
His work is in the collections of Progresssive Corporation, CWRU Weatherhead
School, LTV Steel, and Hahn, Loser & Parks. He lives in Mayfield
Village, Ohio.
“My artwork is a form of documentation. They record my search
for the existence of a ‘different ‘ world based upon my
personal experience and inquiries.” Han’s paintings in
this exhibition derive from his frequent visits to Sunset Pond in
North Chagrin Reservation.
Artemis Herber was born in Germany. There she studied
law at University of Passau from1981-1983, and fine arts and art education
at the University of Paderborn 1983-1993. Exhibitions include Room
Installation at Munich Airport (1991), purchased by the State
of Bavaria; Associazone Culturale Piazza, San Placido, Italy
(1995); and Female Artist Archive, Pearborn, Germany (2002).
She maintains studios both in Ulm, Germany, and in the Murray Hill
Gallery Building, Cleveland. She lives in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Herber paints place as elements of light and structure, as a metaphor
for the human impulse to possess time. Her places have a presence
of spirit, a suggestion of disquiet, and an intensity that invites.
Matthew Kolodziej was born in Charlottesville, Virginia,
in 1967. He received a B.A. in economics from the University of Chicago
in 1988 and an M.F.A. from Rhode Island School of Design in 1993.
He has had one-person shows at Sol Koffler Gallery, Providence, Rhode
Island (1992, 1993) and Doll-Anstadt Gallery, Burlington, Vermont
(1998, 1999). Recent group shows include Harris-Stanton Gallery, Akron
(2002); Mediated Nature, Oberlin College (2003); Small
Monuments, MOCA Cleveland (2004). He was awarded a Fulbright
Scholarship to study in England 1995-96. Since 2001 he has been an
Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Myers School of Art,
University of Akron, Ohio. He lives in Akron.
“A central theme in my paintings is the transitory quality of
space and perception. I use images of architecture and landscape to
explore the presence of change.”
Also featuring: Ceramics by Patricia Schneider
Installation with video projection, photography, digital prints
Jurgen Faust presents a vision of a marketplace, documented over
the course of a single day. With video projection, digital prints,
and photography, he examines how the structures and places that we
build create a media which we draw upon with sign, symbol, and activity.
Jurgen Faust is a professor at the Cleveland Institute of Art where he is the Dean of T.I.M.E. (Time and Integrated Media Environment).
Organized by Experimental Printmaking Institute, Lafayette College,
Easton, PA. Eight artists were invited to create a work of art with
a printmaker. The exhibition includes these works, as well as a work
by each printmaker.
