    About the panelists:

     

    Christopher Schade was born in Austin, Texas and was raised in Austin and in Quirihue, Chile. Schade received his Bachelor of Arts in Art from the University of Texas at Austin in Plan II Honors Humanities and Studio Art in Painting and then received his Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking from Yale University. Upon graduation he attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. He is a founder of the Artist Lecture Series in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and has curated numerous group shows, most recently “Prime Matter” at the Teckningsmuseet (Museum of Drawings) in Laholm, Sweden. In the spring of 2021 he joined The Painting Center in New York City as a member. He teaches painting and drawing as Associate Professor of Art at the University of Massachusetts Boston Art and Art History Department.

     

    Zoe Pettijohn Schade’s artist statement:

    I make gouache paintings in detailed layers of repeating imagery. The images are drawn from memory, personal iconography, perception, and the larger cultural landscape. These associations tend to form constellations around ideas of fate, will, and luck. Repetition in my work is the geometry of relationships between images. The patterns of these relationships are loaded with psychological and symbolic associations, and have their own history. Different structures embody tensions between choice and fate, clear limits and the infinite. These forms of repetition soothe the eye into accepting increasing amounts of information, expanding the space of the picture plain.  As the layers multiply and become denser, the embedded and abstracted images rise to the eye in their own time like memories  

     

    Michael Lee (born 1972 Cincinnati, OH) is an artist based in New York City. He holds a BFA from the University of Texas, Austin and an MFA from Hunter College (CUNY), NYC. Lee has mounted three solo exhibitions in the New York area: Halves & Holes (The Painting Center, 2025), A Frame Is A Line (Nightshift Gallery, 2023), and Cryptographics (Dineen Hull Gallery, Hudson County Community College). His work has also been included in many group exhibitions both nationally and internationally, among them Prime Matter at the Tekningsmuseet in Laholm, Sweden and other venues from Chongqing to Los Angeles, Budapest, and Paris.  He has been published in Two Coats of Paint, New York Magazine, The Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, and The Austin American Statesman among others. The artist was a co-founder of the Artist Lecture Series (2011-2020) and currently co-curates Show & Tell, a similar program in which contemporary New York artists share their work and ideas. Lee is an adjunct professor at Montclair State University and Hudson County Community College, both in New Jersey.
