"I
sculpt paper," says KIM MIKINIS. "I collage. I paint. I sew fabric
plushies. I make animations, inspired by travels abroad, vaudeville, circus, bicycles,
and animals. Using miniature figurines, fabric sculpted monsters and monkeys,
old-west railroad train set scenery, painted backgrounds from my puppet show sets
and a St. Jude paper cutter, my animations are created. No dialogue ensues as
the positioning and interactions of the figures do the talking."

"BALONEY" JULIANO, an award-winning satirist artist, is not your
normal painter. With his wacky, single panel, lush, comic-like paintings dealing
with quick puns, whimsical sayings, ironic sadness, and his penchant for parodying
other famous artists, Tony makes art laughable in colorful complementary painted
frames. Tony graduated from Paier College
of Art with a BFA in Illustration in 1998 and has been a successful free-lance
artist from 1997 to the present. Being teased by his classmates, he created a
childish made-up nickname: "Agoo." Tony's art openings come with a following
of fans who come as chickens, purple cows, robots, dragons, accordion players,
sumo wrestlers, Santa Claus and The CT Roller Girls serving drinks on their roller
skates. Tony has done commissioned murals
for Corona Beer and The Peabody Museum, art instruction, back drops, and set design.
He has been included in umpteen group shows, and has had solo exhibits at the
York Square Gallery in 2001, the Chapel
Square Gallery and the Margaret L.
MacDonough Gallery in New Haven in 2002, Kohn-Joseloff Gallery in Cheshire, the
Hygienic Art Center in New London, and Europa Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. | |
