The Pollinator Art Space

To celebrate the closing of 🫟UNLIKE A VIRGIN🫟 we’re highlighting our fantastic artists! Last, but not least, Rolando Vazquez: Through this text, I wish to express my interest in collaborating with Pollinator on exhibition and educational projects that foster dialogue with Atlanta’s public. In this context, I present Everyday Faces, a series of more than fifty works created from found objects collected in urban spaces. Each piece reflects on consumption, memory, and sustainability, and is accompanied by a proposed community workshop that encourages ecological awareness, creativity, and social integration. See Rolando’s work on view at The Pollinator Art Space through May 8th. *All works for sale*

To celebrate the final day of 🫟UNLIKE A VIRGIN🫟 we’re highlighting our fantastic artists! Today it’s Sara Schindel: Sara Schindel is an Atlanta-based artist who makes paintings, sculptures, and assemblages that explore issues of memory, place, and experience. Starting with personal inspiration, Schindel seeks out poetic connections between her personal history, art history, and current events. Schindel relishes the materiality of her process, incorporating a range of materials such as canvas, wood, styrofoam, paper mache, paper clay, and found objects. Schindel’s assemblages are inspired by travel, spirituality, and environmental concerns. Although many works are representational, Schindel’s works contain surprising juxtapositions and uncanny transformations where materials and meanings are constantly shifting. See Sara’s work by appointment at The Pollinator Art Space through May 8th. *All works for sale*

To celebrate the last week of 🫟UNLIKE A VIRGIN🫟 we’re highlighting our fantastic artists! Jeffery Wilcox Paclipan: Fragmented Wholeness explores how identity is continually assembled from the discarded, fragile, and the overlooked.  Using everyday materials - paper, plastic, bottles, wire, cardboard, toys, puzzles - the installation transforms waste into a living structure that reflects the ongoing work of holding oneself together.  Each piece functions like a fragment of memory  or experience, imperfect yet essential.  Rather then presenting resilience as polished or triumphant, the work frames it as a messy, nonlinear process of rebuilding.  Through this assemblage, the installation invites viewers to consider what we salvage, what we discarded, and how wholeness is always something we construct again and again. See Jeffery’s work by appointment through May 8th. *All works for sale*

To celebrate the closing week of 🫟UNLIKE A VIRGIN🫟 we’re highlighting our fantastic artists! Chris Nitsche: These sculptures cover a variety of repurposed mixed media elements. They incorporate household items, toys, and game parts where the enduring histories of personal associations remain present. The building of these works range from wood backed structures to an abstract hull mold form. Paradoxical forces are at work in these sculptures as the light play of childhood merges with the heavy weight of the logistics of adulthood. The materials and design are dense cargo holds revealing expressions of irony, and personal contexts. See Chris’ work by appointment at The Pollinator Art Space through May 8. *All work for sale*

To celebrate the end of 🫟UNLIKE A VIRGIN🫟 we’re highlighting our artists! Paul Leroy: My practice examines systems of consumption, the limits of recycling, and the lived realities of sustainability. Drawing inspiration from plants forcing their way through cracks in the textured surfaces of urban spaces, I repurpose the byproducts of my own consumption to create mixed-media paintings, sculptures, assemblages, and immersive installations. Through this process I engage with themes of reclamation, shared memory, and the interconnectedness of all things. Come see Paul’s work through May 8, by appointment at The Pollinator Art Space. *All works for sale*

It’s the last week of 🫟UNLIKE A VIRGIN🫟 To celebrate we’re spotlighting our incredible artists! Donna Horn: My work focuses on a balance between chaos and organization. I take various shapes and colors, either painted or cutout, and attempt an arrangement that is pleasing to my eye. Occasional unexpected touches of whimsy keep me engaged. There are subtle references to landscape and nature, my original, abiding sources of inspiration. Process drives my creative impulse. I am constantly restless in my painting practice (primarily in oils, and now including acrylic), seeking new means of self expression, leading me to explore non-traditional materials and structures. Using cut-up painted cardboard cartons and pieces of old drawings, reassembled into dimensional work, satisfies a need to move beyond the constraints of the flat canvas. I view this translating of discarded materials into something new as reflecting the human qualities of adaptability and resiliency. See Donna’s work at The Pollinator Art Space through May 8th. *All work for sale*

The deadline is May 7th at 11:59 PM ••• We are seeking two and three dimensional mixed media artworks that contain a photographic image or element.

It’s the last week of 🫟UNLIKE A VIRGIN🫟 To celebrate we’re spotlighting our incredible artists! John Adelman: I seek to see the outcome of a work rather than foresee it. Each piece begins with a set of rules, procedures, or elements of chance that are initiated and then allowed to unfold without predetermined results. Within this process, concept is paramount and outcome is secondary. The works are constructed from numerous components that are traced, layered, and overlaid repeatedly according to the governing formula established at the outset of their creation. Two recurring elements—nails and dictionary-derived definitions—form the foundation of much of the work. In this exhibition, nails and other objects found throughout the studio serve as both tools and visual structures. These include templates, game pieces, coins, and randomly cut paper forms, all of which are used in the tracing process. Through accumulation, repetition, and rule-based decision-making, the work reveals itself over time. Ultimately, the practice embraces uncertainty, allowing meaning and two-dimension visual form to emerge through process rather than intention.
