Ryan Kish's paintings explore his interpretation of the world around him within a continuum of representation and abstraction;
Liza Lynch's paintings speak to the stringent way collections can be displayed and the obsessive nature of collecting;
Vanessa Michalak explores ideas about escapism and adventure with her landscape paintings which synthesize memories, imagination and found photos;
John Neylan's End The Confusion explores American history through the lenses of the conspiracy theorist, the artist, the historian and the hoarder;
