Kennedy James
Biography :
Born in County Down, Northern Ireland, Kennedy has been a resident in the US since 2003. Educated in England, Ireland and Scotland with a Bachelor of Arts from the Royal Scottish Academy and an additional two Post Graduate diplomas in Fine-Art and Interior design, in 2006, he co-founded Surface Library Atelier with ceramist Bob Bachler.
Much of the artist’s early work is rooted in landscape and its various abstractions. Since 2007 he has been exploring the placement of shape and form within the framework of his earlier series. This gave birth to the “Spatial” series and most recently “Architectures and Choreographies” which draw heavily on the work of the abstract expressionist and Bauhaus painters. These layouts are not premeditated, but affected by the colorfields serendipitously formed in the background washes. The considered dissection of these colorfield paintings
builds the structure of each work.

kim Sungyee
Biography :
A painting\'s artificial, two-dimensional surface requires pure belief in spiritual values. It opens a door to the ideal. Nature is not comprehensible. Neither is a good artwork, because it resembles nature. The incomprehensiveness of nature is the reason why all questions and communications start. We do not have any plausible answer to what life is, but we cannot stop thinking and talking about it. A good artwork can only show the endeavor to reach the answer.Rather than pursuing the trend in expression of social and political stance, five series of paintings aim to hold the mirror up to our spirit like pure, plain and tranquil water which can reflect everything truly without self-assertion and in the taste of tastelessness. Five series of paintings incorporate the principle of I Ching with the Taoist pursuit of becoming one with material as in the Transformation of Things, the Buddhist concept of a universe in a single dust particle and the sword-polishing spirit of traditional metal-smiths.My images are unified as a whole but unclosed, unlimited and so, undefined. This ambiguity of structure requires active perception, which originates from a viewer\'s own desire but is also consistent with what I achieve. The broader and more general the image, the more it becomes a metaphor: in the particularity of transformed material I discover commonality. This interpretation not only reflects a hope to reach a commonality from a specificity, but it also shows a history of action and interpretation, discovering nature through the artistic human desire to figure out, to define or to scrutinize the moving, intangible and transforming nature of the universe.The result of repetitive yet unique gestures of layering and erasing is an aesthetic residue which visualizes a consistent mind of self-cultivation. In both form and content, the series enact the coexistence of material presence and illusion, reflecting the inherent connectedness of microcosm and macrocosm. Five series of

Labauvie Dominique
Biography :
Before leaving Strasbourg in 1968, Dominique Labauvie studied Art History with Roland Recht and Louis Grodecki, then continued his formation in sculpture in Paris. He had his first one-man show at the Gallery Bernard Jordan, Paris (catalogue) in 1985 and in 1986 receives the Villa Medecis Hors les Murs (catalogue) and spends one year in Germany. In 1989 he has a sold out solo exhibit at the FIAC with the Gallery Maeght. 1997 brings him a commission by the city of Paris of a monumental cast iron sculpture Horizons Suspendus, which is installed on the Quai de Seine. Labauvie is the recipient of the prestigious Grant from The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation in 2009 and in 2010 the new Tampa Museum of Art gives him a solo exhibition of recent and commissioned works entitled Musical Lines in My Hand (catalogue).

Noger Udo
Biography :
A souvereign discourse upon light and space is characteristic of the paintings of Udo Nöger. In his color reduced, minimal works, Nöger pursues the traditional parameters of painting. He exlores the possibilities of the interaction of light, color and open space. Udo Nöger’s work incorporates translucent materials, which emphasize the artist’s interest in light and it’s manifestations. In Nöger’s art light enters into the painting, illuminating the forms and then returning to the surrounding space that is its source. The paintings media is oil and acrylic on layered canvas and fabric, which trap the light so as to transform it and send it back. The light in the painting feels as though it is emanating from the forms themselves. Nöger draws and entraps luminosity not only for the practical purpose of highlighting his compositions but also for the abstract rendering of light as a material-a hugely difficult, and more than likely a german, objective. In Nöger’s case, this transformation of an abstract entity into sensous terms feels german in both a philosophical and a formal sense ; his art turns on the paradox that something as disembodied as light can be represented physically, so that our conception of it literally has something to hold. The paintings show the floating of the elements and their permanent change. Udo Nöger’s work results from a well-considered combination of concept and intuition, of rationality and subjective expression.

Pachner William
Biography :
Born in Czechoslovakia, William Pachner studied in Vienna before coming to the United States in 1939 on the eve of World War II. During the war, his anti-fascist illustrations appeared in the foremost national magazines. When he learned in 1945 that all members of his family had been exterminated by the Germans, he quit his commercial career. At that moment, he resolved never again to do a commercial job, but to paint what he felt. He has had numerous one-man exhibitions in New York City and is the recipient of several awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowships in Fine Arts, two Ford Foundation grants, and a National Institutes of Arts and Letters Award for painting. His work is represented in many museums and private collections, including the Whitney Museum, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, The Butler Institute of American Art, The Florida Holocaust Museum, the Tampa Museum of Art, the St Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.

The Mindy Solomon Gallery is an international showcase for contemporary art in a variety of media, priding ourselves on our knowledge, expertise and integrity. Not defined by traditional boundaries of art, craft or design, we present innovative sculpture, drawings, paintings and photography. A full service client oriented gallery, we serve the needs of collectors, corporate clients and the museum community.
Our exhibition schedule rotates every six weeks, providing opportunities to view the talents of both emerging and established artists. With a reputation for diverse, intellectually driven, as well as politically and socially engaged artwork, the Gallery presents solo and thematic exhibitions, several of which have subsequently traveled to museums. We also represent contemporary Korean art by some of the leading artists working today.
The Gallery also participates in six to eight major art fairs each year so watch for us in Dallas, New York and San Francisco in the coming year. Additionally we host special events created as a conduit between the art community, curators and collectors.
The gallery is located in the heart of the cultural and entertainment district of downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. St. Petersburg is The City of the Arts, where a broad spectrum of the visual and performing arts abound. The city’s cultural landscape includes six major museums downtown as well as many outstanding performing arts venues.
