Lisa Renko: 2b4d image
27
Lisa Renko is a native New Yorker, painter, installation artist,
and recently actress in “Pollock Squared”starring as Lee Krasner.
Born to Russian immigrant parents, she was exposed from the earliest
age to the potent spirituality and rich iconography of Russian Orthodox
images and to the eloquent movement of classical ballet through her
grandmother’s teaching legacy at Balanchine’s School of American
Ballet. These influences instigated a process of reconciling with different
philosophies and bridging diverse, sometimes clashing cultures. Involved
in numerous on-going projects, Renko actively pursues and investigates
ideas and directions that she feels authentically challenge challenge
established art lexicons. To pursue such investigation, Renko believes
that one must engage chaos and confusion and acknowlerdge them as evolutionary
agents. She considers the intensely emotional aspects of these agents
to be essential catylists for spiritual development, whose illumination
can lead to a more complete form of enlightenment. This attitude is
reflected in creations that often blur the line between the singular
and collective artistic ego,
fluctuating between her personal expression and collaborative constructions.
These take the form of elaborate installations which completely immerse
the viewer/participant in what Renko considers to be “walk-in paintings.”
Instead of a one-directional focal point, the viewer is surrounded from
all sides by the experience. The innovative use of reflective surfaces
and varied light sources, highlight paintings, prayers, diaries, poems,
photographs, and other types of valuables, strewn around with living
and organic matter, and a range of discardable, seemingly unrelated
items.There is an emphasis on pure physicality, bypassing any need for
obvious conceptual connection.. Renko considers these resulting images,
capturing the movement of her physical body and continuous rearrangement
of the installation’s composition through simultaneous photographic
documentation, to be the contemporary version of Abstract Expresssionism,
( trumpeted by the likes of Kandinsky and Pollock), reaching beyond
the two dimensional surface, into the third, fourth, and possibly fifth
dimensions. These windows into multi-dimensional realities, created
with loving intent, serve to reveal the spiritual as an essential ingredient
of artistic creation.

Axis
"I believe in the transformational healing power of art and it's
potential for positive social change. I wish to reveal the immortal
presence which lives in all things, everywhere and nowhere, beyond the
boundaries of time, which is transcendent beyond categories, names and
form, yet which is identical to our very own Self."

Tony Torn: Grand Inquisitor

Photography
& Videography

Sabrina Asch:
Sabrina Asch applies art to everyday life and everyday
life to art. Which might sound cliche, but her everyday life is blessed
with unique stimulation.
Without hesitation, she boasts "everything I need to know about
approaching life's challenges, I learned by playing rugby." Sabrina
had documented the sport of women's rugby from the inside during her
10 year stretch of playing on a nationally ranked rugby team. A career
ending injury forced her to hang up her cleats & most auspiciously
catapulted her photography career.
Emotional transformation and the study group dynamic is a common theme
in her photographic work to date. Facilitating others to overcome emotional
and physical challenges comes naturally to her and is fulfilled by her
work as an emcee of Karaoke. She creates a platform for the amateur
performer to extol – add the ingredients of New York City happenstance
and the inspiration is interminable.
While a camera has been embedded in her hand for decades, Sabrina's
work is not restricted to still photography, but is supplemented by
performance, multimedia, video and installation.
Sabrina is grateful for opportunities to collaborate and document the
insightful and ambitious. Her camera has pointed it's lens at The Women's
Rugby World Cup (02, '06), Feeling Not So Fresh, My Apple Genius, The
UN Ambassador's Ball, several bat mitzvah's, extravaganza's around the
world, and more! Most recently, she is thrilled to document the Evolver
Salon's "Electric Equinox"!
