Amy Chan was born in 1978 in Danbury, CT. She earned her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. Her paintings draw inspiration from the ecosystems of the East Coast where she lives, and the places she discovers through travel. She has been an Artist-in-Residence at Onoma Fiskars in Finland and the Jentel Foundation in Wyoming. Chan lives and works in Richmond, VA, and has recently received grants from the Pollock Krasner Foundation and the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Chan’s abstract paintings are views of the natural world multiplied into the bizarre. The richly layered surfaces combine gouache, acrylic, airbrush and screen print, while taking cues from micro- scopic imagery, decorative pattern, coral reefs and outer space.

Enrique Figueredo is a Venezuelan-American artist who immigrated from South America at an early age. Figueredo’s work looks closely at the forces and issues affecting today’s world—economy, religion, immigration, power—and relates those incidents to the visual history of ancient civiliza- tions, the colonization of the Americas, and mythology. Figueredo is the 2019 Fountainhead Fellow at VCU. Recent awards include The Elizabeth Founda- tion for the Arts, Robert Blackburn Printmaking Award (2019), and the Nadine Goldsmith Fellowship. He was a resident at Vermont Studio Center in 2019. Figueredo studied at Purchase College (SUNY) earning a BFA in 2004 and earned his MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University in 2019.

Isa Gagarin is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores subjects including color, natural phenomena, and autobiography. Using painting, drawing, installation, performance, and video, Gagarin explores color relationships with an emphasis on working responsively to site. The transient qualities of natural phenomena such as solar eclipses, tides, and rainbows prompt Gagarin to draw connections between her work and personal-political experiences of place in Hawai’i and Guam. Gagarin holds an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BFA in Painting from Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Gagarin lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Kenneth Noland was born in Asheville, NC. He was a veteran of World War II and studied at the Black Mountain College, where he learned color theory from Josef Albers. A leading American Color Field painter, his interest in working with flat colors developed into a fixation with simple shapes like chevrons, stripes, and bullseyes. Noland helped start the Washington Color School, and represented the United States in the 1964 Venice Biennale. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Pat Steir is an American painter and printmaker. Her early work was loosely associated with conceptual art and minimalism, however, she is best known for her abstract dripped, splashed and poured “Waterfall” paintings, which she started in the 1980s, and for her later site-specific wall drawings. With a career that has spanned over half a century, Pat Steir is a leading force in the develop- ment of Postmodern abstraction. Born in 1938 in Newark, NJ, she received her BFA from the Pratt Institute in New York in 1962 and befriended and studied with many influential Conceptual and Minimalist artists of the day, including Sol Lewitt and Agnes Martin. Steir is represented in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, among others.

Donald Sultan is a contemporary painter best known for his use of industrial materials to depict everyday subjects. Sultan uses recurring imagery—such as flowers, playing cards, and lemons—to create colorful still lifes framed by tar-black backgrounds. Born in 1952 in Asheville, NC, he received his BFA from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and later his MFA from the School of the Art Institute Chicago before moving to New York in 1975. In the city, he became a part of the New Image move- ment along with fellow painters Susan Rothenberg and Julian Schnabel. His work is included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate Modern, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, among many others.
