John Funt
John Funt studied art with sculptor Rhys Caparn at the Dalton School in New York and with painter Joseph Slate at Kenyon College in Ohio.  He has had solo exhibitions at Nelson Macker Fine Art, Morgan Lehman Gallery, James Graham and Sons and the Norfolk Library.  Funt has worked as an event designer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a Designer and Display Director for Tiffany & Company but for the past decade, has devoted himself full-time to painting.

Funt, in discussing his work to be exhibited at Five Points, stated:  "In this group of paintings I have changed perspective to explore the possibilities of the vertical landscape.  The hanging tapestry, a door to the outside, and the bas relief all share the mysteries of screens and walls. To me this is a world of climbing, seeing and embroidering with paints.  It is a chance to depict the beauty of the woods and convey, at times, the sense of anxiety most of us feel about the future of the landscape. "  Commenting on Funt’s work, The New Criterion wrote: "John Funt turns the dynamics of landscape around."  Another review from The New Yorker described his work as follows:  " The wide-screen format announces representational intent; the jewel-like undertones and simplified forms reveal the fundamental decorative impulse."

Gerald Incandela
Gerald Incandela is an American artist, born in Tunisia.  Incandela received a philosophy degree in 1969, then moved to Paris where he studied art history.  In 1974, Gerald Incandela began to photograph and soon after learned photographic printing.  He is recognized for his unique photographic process, by which he conceptually merges drawing and photography. During the course of developing the large format, black and white prints, Incandela selectively applies developer and fixer on paper with a brush as to reveal and animate selected elements of the captured image. 

 “In the 1970s, curators and collectors responded to Incandela’s work because he was doing something completely new,” stated author and art critic Philip Gefter. “No one before had exposed photographic images onto paper and then applied developer with a brush. His pictures seemed to hover between photography and drawing, the mechanical and the handmade, the literal and the interpretive.”  

His work is in numerous collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.  Incandela has had numerous solo exhibitions in the United States and abroad and has also taken part in numerous group exhibitions.  

In his recent body of work, Gerald Incandela has transitioned from drawing with the photographic medium to painting with it. The tones and colors are the result of the action of regular light oxidizing the silver in the paper before fixing the image. It is not a tinted or colored silver print and therefore not "mixed media". Each one is unique because Incandela applies selectively the solutions onto the paper instead of immersing the paper evenly in the solutions.
