Hello, and Welcome! BREADBAR presents | NOTEBOOK by Talia Wabnig Drawing from personal experience to express character and emotion is something all genuine artists and artisans partake in during the evolution and creation of their work. Emerging artist Talia Wabnig The series NOTEBOOK is a collection of images and artifacts that illustrate a duration of time. In this series I arranged details and reoccurring themes from my life into Mandela shaped designs and atmospheric scenes. The subject matter and imagery was largely influenced by the dominating material that arose in my stream of consciousness while creating the work. I recorded these snapshot of ideas in the same fashion as piecing together a scrap book or writing in a journal. The images are painted with acrylic inks and washes on watercolor paper. I built the frames with plywood. I enjoyed creating this series because it allowed me to integrate my studies of the human figure, flowers and ornamental design.

BREADBAR presents | Marshall Roemen BREADBAR is proud to continue its artist series with up and coming artist Marshall Roemen at BREADBAR West Third. In this series, artist Marshall Roemen explores the idea of human identity as separated from the usual contexts, and as incorporated into a larger picture of space, energy and time. ARTIST'S STATEMENT What does my life have to do with Quasars? It seems to me that at any given time we are only partially aware of who we really are. Asked to describe ourselves, we often revert to familiar contexts such as our place of birth, our occupation, and our interests. Given the chance to step out of such contexts, panning out toward a larger picture of the known universe, I am compelled and humbled by the ever expanding boundaries of our time-space continuum. Quasars, or quasi-stellar-radio-sources, can shine 200 trillion times brighter than our sun and were only recently discovered in extremely distant space. Their brilliance in relation to their size nearly defies our physical laws of science, and the speed of light only permits us to see them as they existed tens of billions of years ago, long before Earth gave us life. While these 'silent' objects may not intersect our lives directly day to day, imagining them allows us to renegotiate who we are in the largest picture, giving us perhaps new images of ourselves. The process of these paintings parallels the idea of wrestling with the unknown. Simple marks compounded over time often give way to new compositions and color collisions. The quiet act of painting and responding to the movement across the surfaces often feels like searching for a way out of what I already see and know. Moving toward an unknown is often uncomfortable, and at several junctures throughout the age of the painting, I eliminate areas in favor of something less familiar. I prefer the nuances of a process steeped in exploration and experimentation, and in the end I accept a certain level of enjoyment with what I allow to remain in the piece. As a result, the paintings feel as much like a creation as they do a discovery, and somehow I hope to remain not fully aware of what they've become. " Marshall Roemen
Marshall Roemen received his BFA from the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, MD, and his MFA in Painting from the University of Oregon. He and his wife Haley, both natives of Eugene, moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to further their creative endeavors. Marshall is currently working on a series of mural sized canvases to be shown in Los Angeles later this fall, and a new body of small paintings and sculptures will be exhibited at the PIP Gallery in Portland, Oregon in April. www.marshallroemen.com Artists Reception:
