FAIR DIRECTOR’S PICK

CAT RIDGON

Cat Ridgon is a Cypriot artist, based in Dallas, whose vibrant “Self Mythology” painting series expresses a nostalgia for Cyprus—the island country where she grew up. Through the motif of sea urchins, which figured prominently throughout her childhood, she fashions unique panels made of custom-cut acrylic to present a series of oil paintings that break with conventional compositional forms.

Bartosz Beda

“I paint [figures] and abstract them during my process.”

Originally from Poland and now based in Dallas, Bartosz explores through painting what he calls an ‘intellectualization’ of the internal struggles of the self—the conflicts that arise between reconciling one’s hopes with reality.

Jill Malouf

“I love to create serene, peaceful art that calms people.”

Based in Dallas, Jill creates highly tactile paintings composed of crystalline, transluscent layers that she hopes draw viewers in and prompts them to touch the surface of the canvas.

Crescen Coggins

“I like the feeling of being able to make someone feel something, or help them understand what we have in common.”

Drawing inspiration from historical events and figures, Crescen digitally manipulates his original photography to provoke strong reactions—both positive and negative—in the viewer.
