Jack Laughner and Carlos Delgado
Through August 17, 2008
 Jack Laughner was born in 1980 in Butler, Pennsylvania. He received his BFA
from the College of Art and Design at Syracuse University. He lives in Jackson
Heights, Queens with his girlfriend Megan. This is his first show in New York
City.
 Carlos Delgado has been creating works for the past 10 years, from printmaking to oil paintings and mixed media. His preferred and specialized medium is printmaking, and has worked with lithographs, etchings and aquatints. His prints and paintings have been displayed in-group shows and have also been sold in fundraisers and auctions in Long Island. He has now chosen to develop more in oil paintings and mixed media with a subject matter different than the common landscapes and abstract works. Carlos Delgado was born in Elmhurst New York and was raised part in his parent’s native Ecuador and part in New York, where then he decided to live and attend college. He later then obtained a B.A. in Studio Art at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and where also his lithograph series called "The Arrival" won the Presidents Purchase award at the 2002 senior show.
Artist's Statement--Carlos Delgado
“In my latest paintings, I'm trying to combine the ideas of the surreal masters with the techniques of the old and modern artists. Robert Raushenberg, Salvador Dali and somewhat Oswaldo Guayasamin have influenced me in creating most of these works. I'm attempting to make all these ideas and concepts collide, so I can then have as a result a post-apocalyptic image or sculpture. While constantly referring to political and economic issues, I'm searching for a new way to portray the result of the lies and the truth of our shattered American system and structure. As in Oswaldo Guayasamin's dramatic and tragic works, I'm trying to create something beautiful in its dramatic and tragic coldness. Only that in my paintings, I want to disguise the cold blunt feeling under smooth brush strokes and confuse the colorful with the horrific in a landscape or environment, suggesting the aftermath of a man made catastrophe. Through this body of work I'm trying to express fear and disgust of the greed and the excessive egocentric complexity us humans posses. Which eventually may lead us to walk into a modern Dark Age. Through my paintings I'm not protesting nor trying to promote anti patriotism, but I am trying to wake up from a lucid but false American dream.”

Artist's Statement
"My ideas spring from a visceral reaction to the materialistic and superficial mindset which permeates modern culture. Most of my images start off as sketches on post-it notes and scraps of paper. After a period of gestation they are enlarged, transferred to illustration board, and fleshed out in watercolor, pencil and ballpoint pen. They often consist of landscapes of hallucinatory menace populated by beings engaged in peculiar behavior and rituals - performed to transcend the rational mind and corporeal existence. A recurring motif is the number sixteen. It appears in my work in various incarnations because I view sixteen as a symbol of wholeness and inner balance, something I am often trying to achieve in my own life."
