JAHMANE
About
JAHMANE’S career as an artist began in the form of Graffiti, or “STREET ART” and has evolved into a wide spectrum of mediums including works on canvas, photography, fashion design, mural painting, screen printing and graphic design. Through years of formal training and life experience as an “Artist of the People“, JAHMANE has developed a unique style that combines social awareness , spirituality, mythology and abstract language in a way that intrigues all who view his work. As Co-founder and head designer at KULTJAH DEZIGNS, an independent clothing label, JAHMANE and his team of Artists create limited edition garments and accessories that draw from the rich history of African and Asian Textile craftsmanship and the raw energy of Graffiti Culture and rugged lifestyle. What started out as an outlet to introduce artistic ideas and graphic concepts to urban fashion, has grown into a well-respected and sought after brand with international clientele, which can be found in select boutiques and specialty shops throughout the U.S., Japan, Europe and the Caribbean. Currently, JAHMANE produces his Fine Art and KULTJAH clothing label at his studio in the Firing Circuits Artists Building in Norwalk, CT, and is a teaching artist, curator and active member of several artists’ collectives in the Tri-State area.

Artist Statement
My collections of art represent the many diverse concepts from which I draw inspiration.

Deb Jennings
Statement
I am an abstract artist, tending towards minimalism, and focused on sculpture (mainly steel and wood), casting (concrete and glass), and paint (mixed media). To me, art is one of life’s joys,,,, an interpretation, a message, mathematical, a logic puzzle, and a technical challenge. I enjoy the thought process involved with using simple shapes that come together into a form. Continuous learning and experimentation with different tools, materials, and methods drive new designs. My work is informed by everyday objects as well as my interests (incl. architecture, industrial design, science and geometry), the medium, and the item’s context or location.

Christopher Jones
Bio:
MFA from Washington University in 1972. For fifteen years starting in 1973 I developed a career as a painter in New York’s Soho.
In 1988 I put my career as a painter on hold in order to raise a family and started an electrical contracting business. I am currently now painting full time. Picking up where I left off. Currently a member of the Silvermine Guild of Artist. Most recent show: Silvermine Art Center, New Members Exhibit 2024
Statement:
In one of his letters to his brother Vincent, Theo van Gogh described Vincent’s process as ”Seeking symbols by doing violence to form”. I am not far from that process. My paintings are landscapes, but they are not precise or nostalgic evocations of a real scene. They are unabashedly expressionistic. I use studies, usually pastels done en plein air as a starting point in my process. I am not however a plein air painter. The pastels are a road map for a journey to a greater sense of reality at once personal and universal.
