Thad Donat: WORK AHEAD, Mix media
-
-
Trained as an architect, Thad Donat’s background spans industrial design, hand-crafted furniture, restoration of turn-of-the-century homes, and extensive travel. Each of these inform his painting practice, shaping how he approaches materials, textures, and composition.
After more than 30 years of experimentation with countless materials and processes, one thing is constant: a fascination with the expressive potential of paint to set an emotional tone and tell a story. The elements within his paintings come from observing urban chaos and searching for beauty in the ordinary. Amongst all the depth & layers, a sense of harmony emerges in Thad’s paintings.
For Thad, painting stands apart from the tempo and expectations of modern life. While painting is demanding, it is not burdened with rules. Color & texture, line & shape, the building & dissolving of layers and chance are not prescriptions, but possibilities. These are the forces that populate and propel his paintings. Your eyes will swim around in these paintings, as if looking for clues.
Beneath the surface, woven in the marks and erasures - time dissolves and sometimes, even gravity lets go.

Casey Thurman: Signts unseen, 35mm infrared film photograph
-
Nostalgia and loneliness are the main themes that influence Casey Thurman’s work. For this collection, Sights Unseen, he has grown fascinated by infrared light, particularly how to isolate it. Infrared light surrounds us everyday, but is invisible to the naked eye. However, by using specific film stocks and pairing them with filters that block all visible light, we can isolate and capture infrared light making the invisible, visible. Casey has always enjoyed wandering overlooked and abandoned Americana landscapes with his 35mm and medium format film cameras; always trying to capture a sense of time, place, and memory. These photographs bring forth an almost alien or abstracted view of these landscapes. Casey focused on capturing recognizable scenes to push the power of abstraction caused by infrared light. Crushed black skies and glowing trees make for eerie compositions that he hope leave you with a sense of nervousness and whimsy.
Born in Southern California, Casey Thurman got his B.F.A. in Illustration from Cal State Fullerton before moving to the Pacific Northwest 10 years ago. Inspired by the lush, new landscapes of Washington State, and his own insatiable appetite for new ways to make images, Casey picked up his family's Canon AE-1 Program and never looked back. Now residing in Tacoma, Washington, Casey spends his free time immersed in film photography. Casey has contributed to Ilford's Photo Magazine, Kodak's Instagram Feed, and Grit City Magazine. He has also delivered talks on his Infrared Trichrome process and occasionally works as an archival photographer for visual artists in his community.
