Borrowing from neighbors was once a commonplace practice. It kept us connected and was and part of the web of relations between those who lived in close proximity. Today, online purchases are shipped within hours and information can be discovered without leaving the couch. Our reliance on, and relationships with, those nearby have diminished. Two contemporary galleries located in Upstate NY, separated by 77 miles of Interstate, have developed a neighborly relationship built on sharing ideas, resources and encouragement. Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts in Binghamton, NY and Exhibit A in Corning, NY are collaborating on a tandem exhibition titled, A Cup of Sugar, which opens in August at the two art venues.

Interview with Jessica Fridrich

“My interest in photography intensified with the emergence of digital imaging catalyzed by my first visits to the American West in 1993 and 1995. It is fair to say that I started taking pictures while hiking and ended up hiking to take pictures. Also, since I was a child I was fascinated with astronomy. I always wanted to image deep space objects but such technology was simply unavailable in the socialistic Czechoslovakia. I get easily excited today with what one can achieve with relatively inexpensive equipment.”

Jamie Salmon and Jackie K.Seo are both Hyperrealist sculptors living and working in Vancouver, Canada. The artworks they create utilize materials such as platinum silicone rubber, fibre glass, acrylic and human hair, in a variety of scales from miniature to monumental.

Self taught in many aspects of their craft, they both began their art careers working as sculptors in Film and TV Special Make-up FX departments, working on many high profile movies and TV shows. This is where they honed their skills and learned to use the more advanced techniques and materials, which they still use to this day.

Painting with Light: Jessica Fridrich Refuses to be Eluded by Nature →

Dr. Jessica Fridrich was born and raised in the Czech Republic during the Socialist regime. It was here that, despite the sterility cultivated by the powers of government, a young Fridrich’s love for the arts and nature began to grow. Much of her early inspiration stems from experiences with her father, who was an electrical engineering instructor at a specialized high school.

“His heart was really in fine arts,” says Fridrich of her father.

She recalls, as a child, watching her father make sketches out in a field, or paint in the living room of their apartment. These were her father’s galleries, as his political views restricted him from showing his art in public. While she observed him, Fridrich’s father would teach her about the principles of art, such as composition and mixing paint.
