Artists Jane Szabo, Matt Ullman and Erica Martin are exhibiting their work together in the Szabo, Ullman & Martin Gallery at 2100 N. Main, #B-10. They will be showing photography, functional art, and mixed media works.

Los Angeles-based conceptual artist Jane Szabo merges a love for fabrication and materials with visceral photographic images. Using hand-made constructions, self-portraiture, and still life, she shares stories that explore her personal experiences through an astonishing lens of self-exploration. Szabo’s background creating props and miniatures for the entertainment industry infuses her creative
process.

Her work has been featured in solo shows at The Huntley Gallery, Danforth Museum of Art, Griffin Museum of Photography, Foto Relevance Gallery, John Wayne Orange County Airport, Museum of Art & History in Lancaster, CA, Foto Museum Casa  Coyoacán in Mexico City, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, Yuma Fine Art Center, and Los Angeles Center for Digital Art.

Among many other locations, Szabo’s work has been shown in group exhibitions at the Spartanburg Art Museum, Oceanside Museum of Art, Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, The Brand Library Gallery, Colorado Center for Photographic Arts, the Kaohsiung International Photographer Exhibition in Taiwan, and Foto Fever in Paris, France. Szabo’s art is included in the permanent collections of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Art & History, Arte al Limite Santiago, Chile, and in private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe.
She holds an MFA from Art Center College of Design.

Jane’s limited-edition archival pigment photographs are printed on Canson Baryta Prestige. Work from the series “Damaged” are unique hand printed image transfer prints on watercolor paper.

Graduating from Webster University with a degree in Film & Video Production in 1989, I followed my fellow St. Louis filmmaking friends out to Hollywood, seeking fortune with a possible side order of fame. After 20 years of working in The Business, mostly as an in-house photographer/videographer/archivist at make-up special effects shops, I started to expand my creative horizons.
Feeling drawn to the material, I began experimenting with cement forms around 2010. With an affinity for functional art, I found a purpose for these creations by adapting my designs into candle holders,
clocks, planters, containers, and incense burners. Stumbling upon square candles inspired my “Frank Lloyd Wright meets Ancient Mayan Ruin” style. My love of Brutalist Architecture is also a major
influence. 

Pieces are made by pouring cement into silicone molds. Earlier work incorporated found shapes and forms, “upcycling” plastic containers, etc. Having moved away from that process, I now create my own, completely original designs.   

Matt’s hand-made works are created in cement.

Erica Kelly Martin is an American lens based artist and native of Los Angeles, California. Martin photographs people in their surroundings, their rituals and the manifestations of their interior lives.
Her work concerns recurring themes of identity, transformation, and the paradox of human existence captured at a moment in time. Her photographs show the fraying edges of polite society, and the vernacular secrets that most people pass by. In addition, Martin has created a series of portrait works, often of alternative communities, exploring how her subjects navigate the world and find their tribe. In Martin’s portrait projects, her relationship to her subjects is the focus point, and the images reflect her presence behind the camera. Erica Martin’s work has been featured on Lenscratch, Lensculture, Musée Magazine, and PDN Magazine, and has been shown at galleries and exhibitions
in Los Angeles, New York, Paris and Milan. 

Erica’s limited edition photographs are archival pigment prints on Hahnemuhle Fine Art paper.
