Brian Howell’s “Impersonators” series provides a surreal glimpse into the world of celebrity lookalikes. Conjuring the aura of vintage Hollywood photography, Howell creates raw portraits that inspire surprise and amusement at a familiar face, while still maintaining a true sense of the individual beneath the artifice. Ultimately, these works explore not only the nature of fame, but also that our obsession with celebrity reveals much about the society which creates it.

Drawing inspiration from the everyday, Jeanie Riddle’s bold and dramatic works are the result of a careful paring down of elements. Evident in these works is the artist’s love of the act of painting, and a solid understanding of the Modernist painting tradition.
