545 Washington, Jersey City
Four artists working in ceramics, drawing and assemblage present exciting
series of images and objects exploring the primal spirit ofnature, animals, and
the inner self.
Sky Kim has exhibited in New York, New Jersey and Korea, she describes her
own art as “vaguely sensual, obsessively organic, and oddly alive." Her
detailed drawings make reference to the cells and structures of our bodies,
exploring the relationship between the internal and physical self.
Bruce Morozko's ceramic figures of animals and invented creatures seem to
act out their own rituals and play out their own relationships with each other. A
teacher and professional modelmaker in the entertainment industry, Morozko's
ceramic works have been featured in various museums and galleries in the
NJ/NY area.
Demetrio Alfonso's artwork is bold, passionate and provocative. His paintings
are abstract compositions of combined organic elementsand found objects. An
immigrant from his native Canary Islands, Spain, his recent work, free from
traditional forms of expression was selected as one of the choice few artists
represented by the International Art Fair in Beijing and Shanghai, China in May
2006 and he won a Gold Medal Diploma at the Florence Biennale 2009 – Italy.
Dana Gannon's sculpture explores the residual primal needs that connect us
to the animal world. "I focus on the commonality of humans and the rest of the
animal kingdom, and our shared evolutionary origins. I try to challenge our
aloofness to nature; our belief that we can or should dominate or conquer it."

Made From Earth is one of a series of exhibits
presented by Victory Arts Projects at Newport's
545 ground floor lobby gallery, that allows artists
to display a conceptual series of artworks related
by a common theme.

be understood more clearly through the variety of
seeing several of their works, and meaning is
further enhanced as the viewer compares one
artist's approach with another. The exhibit can be
