My work is about the tactile, sensual body and abstract inner experience. This body of work is inspired by the mythological figure Lilith. She is the first woman, before Eve, who is exiled from the Garden of Eden for refusing to be subordinate to Adam. Using this narrative as a starting point, I am approaching the subjects of sexuality and the monstrous feminine with a sense of humor and play.
The Art of Steven L Anderson
Steven L. Anderson’s work is about the power of Nature, and the nature of power. Alone and collaboratively, and across several media, Anderson engages in projects that look to nature as an evergreen source of metaphors for how we experience the world. Anderson’s artistic goal is “to make images, things, spaces, and situations that fuse the exhilaration of the human spirit with the ferocious beauty of Nature to make a palpable, tingling essence.”
The Tree Rings artworks are a way of growing a drawing: the artist draws circles with markers and pens that closely follow the circle before it, expanding as the rings build and bring the form into existence. Titled after the number of rings/years, these meditations on growth and the passage of time hope to provide a larger context for our lives. Where would our own activities, lifespans, and histories fit into the recordings made in tree rings? These drawings are at once a violent death, a time machine, a hypnotist’s tool, an energy vortex.
The exhibition will run though November 15th

Kai Lin Art is pleased to announce our sixth exhibition of 2019 : PASSAGE exhibiting from September 27th through November 15th. PASSAGE is a four artist group exhibition that features the works of Atlanta-based artists Larry Jens Anderson, Steven L. Anderson, Hannah Adair, and Chattanooga-based artist Marc Boyson. The artworks of PASSAGE encompass a diverse range of mediums and techniques with the underlying themes of passage of life (L. Anderson), passage of nature (S. Anderson), passage of body (Adair), and passage of time (Boyson). Almost all the works in this exhibit will be on paper with some sculptural pieces that compliment their respective bodies of work.
In this latest collection from long time gallery resident Larry Jens Anderson, the concept of Passage takes on more profound meanings. Through body changes and illnesses, there is a realization that the passage of time brings us closer to death. Friends and family die and artistically, Anderson’s ability to perform and create takes on new relevance. Overlapping the contemporary attitudes to guns and being homosexual means Anderson is a part of a target group. Going to school or a concert, church, synagogue or bar used to be innocent, safe and now are tainted by the fear of dying. Using humor, art history, and religion as devices to communicate, Anderson explores gun violence and sexuality in our new complex reality of uncertainty.
Steven L. Anderson joins the gallery for his first exhibition of artwork exploring the passage of nature through intricately rendered tree rings. These works are an inquiry into the systems of our natural world from the perspective of a plant or a tree. The intention is to bring about a new vision for seeing the natural world which can open up the potential for seeing our human systems. The Tree Rings artworks are a way of growing a drawing: Anderson draws circles with markers and pens that closely follow the circle before it, expanding as the rings build and bring the form into existence. These meditations on growth and the passage of time provide context to reflect our own lifespans, activities and histories.
Printmaker Hannah Adair returns to our gallery with a body of work that explores the tactile, sensual body and abstract inner experience. Inspired by the mythological figure Lilith, the first woman before Eve who is exiled from the Garden of Eden for refusing to be subordinate to Adam, Adair delves into the subjects of sexuality and the monstrous feminine with a sense of humor and wit. Her work is one of representation and abstraction, a sense of natural and landscape, the passage of the body through chaos and control.
Marc Boyson returns with his intuitive traces mapping moments of passage through contemporary cartography. These delicate ink line drawings on paper are an accumulation of time collected to reveal as a whole the meander of his hand. Derived from the process of remembering journeys down gridded city streets, winding country roads, and hikes throughout his life, images of these memories flow through Boyson’s mind and translate into the line wander across the paper plane. These renderings become a passage of memories into the visible, an Intuitive Derive.

The Art of Phil Harris
Phil Harris has been hard at work developing the newest collection of art, an exciting step in a new direction. The pieces are contemporary yet familiar, with a subtle sophistication spanning a variety of techniques and themes. It’s a journey back to some of his earliest work and techniques, experimenting with different ways of using plexiglass. This collection has an emphasis on carpentry, and leaner more elegant compositions than the previous work. Thematically, it’s an unusual but pleasant marriage between mid-century modern aesthetics and cyberpunk inspired abstractions.

The Art of Lela Brunet
Lela Brunet’s most recent works continue within her subject of goddess and the deified female form, exploring the role of power and femininity of the wider universe. Brunet is obsessed with fine details, intricate lines, unique color combinations, and geometric patterns. Her multimedia approach includes materials such as graphite, ink, coffee, acrylic, tissue bleed, and marker. Careful consideration for the posing and expressions of Brunet’s subjects have the hands gestured to depict power and purpose. The figures clothing is vibrantly earthy and sprouting from within with hair that is alive and animated.

The Art of Joe Camoosa
Joe Camoosa returns to Kai Lin Art with several large scale oil paintings that continue to explore themes of modernity, abstract formalism and the relationship between the painter and the painting. Informed by cartography, music, aerial and urban landscapes and architectural fragments, Camoosa’s work is exceptionally unique and immediately identifiable. His paintings ask the viewer to stand back and become enveloped by the work but also to examine closely and see how all of the pieces fit together.

Lucha Rodriguez continues to develop her collection of Knife Drawings, artworks made by watercolor and razor sharp cuts on the surface of the paper. Rodriguez’s Knife drawings challenge the viewer to take a second look at something that from a far seems simple and trivial but on a closer look, surprises them with intimate detail and complexity. These knife drawings are meant to represent the union between precision and intuition; organic and geometric; simplicity and complexity. It encourages them to know the work not by their first impressions but by taking a long hard look at what’s really beneath the surface.
Jeremy Brown’s most recent artworks grace the entrances of Embolden with an all out and eye catching style. Brown combines his thoughtful and impassioned approach to art making with a disciplined and practiced technique of multi-material combinations of layered resin, aerosol, brushless painting and neon lights.
Stan Clark joins the gallery for Embolden with a series of super saturated paintings depicting the quiet moments of modern life and introspective struggles of the mind. Coming from a medical background, Clark plays with both landscapes and the human form in a style that is simultaneously precise and impressionistic.

The New South 4 :: jurors + installation
Todd Anderson, Clemson University
It was a both a pleasure and a challenge to serve as a co-juror with Lisa Hart for the New South 4 at Kai Lin Art. Regarding the later, Lisa and I were faced with the difficult task of selecting approximately 80 works from a pool of over 800. An impressively high level of quality was seen throughout the applications, as did a wide definition of what constitutes a work on paper. Paint, pencil, pen, ink, book formats, kinetics, and physically dimensional approaches to paper begin to communicate the diversity of the applications, all of which were equally considered. On this note, it was wonderful working with Lisa Hart as I learned much from her knowledge of various techniques and artistic practices. Ultimately, Lisa and I focused on curating an exhibition that we hope offers a thoughtfully divertive, celebratory and playful viewing experience for Kai Lin Art’s collectors and visitors.
Serving as a juror for an exhibition such as this one additionally affords insights into the venues themselves. Owner and Director Yu-Kai Lin and Director of Events Robie Duchateau seamlessly guided Lisa Hart and I through the jury process with professionalism and deference. I can only confirm what is common knowledge in the field: Kai Lin Art exemplifies what a top-notch metropolitan, contemporary gallery is and can be.
The artworks on display for the New South 4 are simply fantastic. Thank you Yu-Kai, Robie, Lisa, and most importantly, New South 4 artists!
Lisa Hart, Savannah College of Art & Design - Atlanta
It was my honor to be one of the Jurors, along with Todd Anderson, for the New South 4 at Kai-Lin Art Gallery. I would like to thank the talented artists for submitting their works on paper. We looked at 800 entries and it was difficult to narrow the final selection for the exhibition to only 80 pieces. The range of work was extensive from more traditional black and white figurative work to explosions of abstract color with a broad spectrum of materials used. Media ranged from photographs to prints to drawings.
I appreciate the professionalism, energy and heart that we saw in the submissions. Much of the work involved storytelling, a narrative on a page. Most artists submitted five different works which allowed us (a more in-depth view of their ideas). (to gain a deeper look into the content of what the artist was exploring). In some cases we included 2 pieces from one artist.
I am inspired by the final selection and I am excited to see the work installed in the gallery. I hope visitors to the show will enjoy the exhibition as much as I enjoyed the jurying process.
THE NEW SOUTH 4 exhibit will be on display from now through Friday, July 26th. We will be hosting a:
