Artist Spotlight: Jason Oberbeck

Image
Jason Oberbeck grew up in the Midwest often drawing his favorite comic book and cartoon characters. Funny enough as it sounds, in his junior high year he discovered the Renaissance Masters Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello through the reading of the comic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . From there on Jason became more serious about his talent for art and became a student at Memphis College of Art in the Fall of 1996. There he studied Fine Arts and graduated with a BFA in 2000. After leaving Memphis in 2001, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to work in the sign and advertising industry as a billboard painter. He quickly worked his way up to Art Director in the design department. Simultaneously, Jason was a working fine artist, showing his paintings and prints in galleries, libraries, bars and coffee houses throughout the Bay Area.  Around the end of 2013, Jason left the sign industry to take on the responsibility of raising his son and to use the remainder of his tim...

Currently Showing: Luke Greer Black and White Heritage Photography

Image
July-August 2015 Luke R. Greer : Black & White Heritage Photography A native of Loudoun County, Virginia, Luke Greer began his research based-heritage photography to preserve the scenes and collective history of the rapidly vanishing rural lifestyle within Civil War landscapes. His high-contrast black and white images pay homage to photographic processes from the 1860's through the early 1900's. These processes are juxtaposed by his contemporary digital practices and strongly dynamic aesthetic style. "Whether it be historical locations, endangered landscapes, or vanishing culture, there is a story to be told behind each image. Greer captures and accentuates something essential in each photograph based on extensive research and experience." - Portfolio Magazine, Mountains Edition August 2014  Greer finds inspiration through photographers of the past who passionately invested themselves in the adventure of their work, such as Edward S. Curtis, Alexander Gardner, Tim...

Tin Types at Tin Top

We are so happy to have the work of Sam Davis for May & June! We are showing a collection of his tin types and other works. Come check it out!  Originally from Pensacola, Florida Sam Davis received his BFA from the University of Florida in Creative Photography and an MFA in Photography and Sculpture from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.  Sam creates images that reference his love of family history (his father had once been a participant in an atomic test during the 1950’s, while other family members worked on the first submarines during the civil war) coupled with a playful curiosity of popular and kitsch culture. His images combine obscure technology, science fiction and childhood fantasy to call into question notions regarding memory, nostalgia, imagination and pulp/cyber folklore. Davis creates images that he hopes will cause the viewer to pause and question while at the same time provide a pathway for the viewer into another frame of thought-to proactively imagine...
