In “Returning and Cycles,” painter Corey Corcoran and photographer Lisa L. Sears are concerned with the ambiguous function of memory in building stories, both personal and collective. The digital collages of Fran Forman create a personal symbolic language with images of the past. Marc Dimov’s series of archival inkjet prints is about changes in shore and horizon. In Bartek Walicki’s work, the cycles are integral to the paintings themselves, as the eye follows explosive, angular patterns. COREY CORCORAN BIO Artist Corey Corcoran, a senior at Massachusetts College of Art, was recently awarded the Stephen D. Paine scholarship, which is given out every year by the Boston Art Dealers Association to a Boston student studying fine arts enrolled in their senior year. Of the approximately 55 applicants, Corey and one other student were chosen. In 2005, MTV and MTV2 broadcast Corey and Lisa Needham's “The Weakest Shade of Blue.” A battle between child hula hoop ballerinas and a karate class, the video for Boston rocker Joe Pernice is available on MTV.com. Of his art, Corey says, “I want my paintings to explore the point at which stories based in history or fiction infiltrate one’s personal narrative, and also when personal tales which strike the public’s imagination are seized and made universal.”
FRAN FORMAN BIO Fran Forman, a nationally acclaimed digital artist and graphic designer, is a Visiting Research Associate at the Brandeis Women's Studies Research Center for the academic year 2006-07. Her digital collages on c-type print show cycles of escape and return.
LISA L. SEARS BIO In Lisa L. Sears’s works, recollection and reconstruction through photography becomes a balancing act between fantasy and objectivity. “By mixing images from different projects over many years, I’ve created a new time that never actually existed, and these photographic collages are a kind of narrative hiccup,” she writes. Among her recent activities: “Present Tense” at artSPACE@16 (www.artSPACE@16.com) in 2006; Arlington Open Studios and Somerville Open Studios in 2005.
BARTEK WALICKI BIO "I work on large collage derivative, colorful paintings. Most of them are five feet or more in height. I use acrylic paint and markers for my work. Smaller pictures are made on paper using the same materials,"Bartek Walicki says. "I received my BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in 2002 and my MFA from Boston University in 2005. I found both schools to be exciting and inspiring places to create art."
MARC DIMOV BIO Marc Dimov is a photographer who graduated from Massachusetts College of Art in 2005. In that same year he received the Mass. College of Art's Art Departmental Award. He has had several group and solo shows. A propos his eerily romantic series of evening shots on Long Island, he quotes Joseph Conrad: "There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery."
