All Art Friday Spotlights

✦ Glass sculptor Matei Negreanu, a native of Romania, views glass as "first and foremost the raw material" of his artworks. Never content to rest on his successes, he explores the potential of glass to be transformed.
✦ Painter Jeremy Miranda has a talent for creating images full of narrative possibility. He draws his inspiration, he says in his Artist Statement, from photographs he collects, as well as his own sketches, plein air studies, and memories. His most recent exhibition was at Parts Gallery in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (My thanks to friend Hannah Stephenson for introducing me to this artist.)
✦ I first saw an image of Natasha Zeta's promising work at Blue Fifth Review. A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh in studio arts and nonfiction writing, the emerging artist works for Aperture Foundation and for New York Foundation for the Arts' Immigrant Artist Program. In addition to drawing and oil painting, Zeta works in sculpture and photography. See her Tumblr and Behance sites for images.
✦ Leaves, stones, wood, and occasionally crochet as embellishment are the principal materials with which Susanna Bauer works. The German-born artist is exhibiting through August 25 in a group show at Le Salon Vert in Geneva, Switzerland. She'll also be in attendance at October's Affordable Art Fair, Battersea, London. Bauer is represented by Badcocks Gallery, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Read "See Susanna Bauer's Incredibly Delicate Crochet Leaf Sculptures" at Artnet News, June 19, 2015.
