Penetralia

“Penetralia” — Bill Mohr (2018)

BILL MOHR
I primarily devoted myself to poetry and criticism during the past half-century, and am best known as a poet as well as an independent press publisher, editor, and literary historian. At the age of 70, however, I began to concentrate with the same kind of intensity on painting. In doing so, I proffered a variation on the title of a well-known poem by Frank O’Hara. It should be emphasized that I have not abandoned poetry, but only expanded its amplitude. The patterns that I currently seek to compress share an emotional and intellectual source with my poetry, and I hope to assemble a sequence of paintings that will give succor to whatever words might survive from all my visionary efforts and effects.

“The rational mind constantly wants to be in charge. The other parts want to fly. My painting is the encounter between the mind’s necessity for control and its yearning to fly, to be free from our ever-confining skull.” – Ed Moses

Black Horse Still Life

“Black Horse Still Life” — Linda Fry

LINDA FRY
My paintings often begin by combining images that refer to a world in which there is an unknown potential for abundance with an internal landscape of dreams, meditative states, and the comforts of home life. I develop these compositions by first assembling a collage or set of drawings. The paintings’ images reveal themselves in unexpected contexts.

I work with oil paints, watercolors, and various drawing mediums.

I received an AS Degree at Moorpark College, and a BFA in Drawing and Painting at CSULB.
