Artist statement: Lynda Ray
Here is what artist Lynda Ray had to say about her piece, Redback, show above…
Beautiful decay of buildings I pass on the way to my studio inspire my work. My commute takes me through an old industrial part of town. Funny, how on one hand looking architectural and on the other hand like some rectangular shaped animal.
Artist Statement: Allen Levy
Distant Forest
Showing his artwork for the first time in the Washington, D.C. region, Vastu is featuring works from Allen Levy until mid April. Soothing, tranquil, and dream-like with a contemporary feel often describe his style. At first glance, they appear calm and harmonious but upon closer review, is a complex story.
Artist statement: Brian Petro
Vastu is currently presenting work by Brian Petro that was made within the last five months. This body of work stems from the lessons learned from Sammy Hodis, his 14 year observance of public and private art collections, carpentry skills from his father, and utilizing one of his favorite pastimes – dumpster diving in New York City.

New art exhibit: Allen Levy and Brian Petro
Allen Levy creates paintings that draw you in to take a closer look. At first glance, they appear calm, peaceful and harmonious but upon closer review, hidden under each layer he applies, is a detailed and complex story. There is intense interplay between organic flow and structured ideas and the limitless possibilities that lie between. The compositions often conjure up a memory of the landscape – a sunset, the weather or even a season, but all are subject to individual interpretation.
Artist Statement: Gabriel Shuldiner
Bigger, harder, better, faster, stronger, more production, more consumption and even more waste: extreme information overload and material excess… Technology promotes this rush, the idea that everyone needs to be constantly in a rush. In a world fast becoming more virtual and transient with each hour, minute and second, I believe in the ever-more importance of the physical. The ‘object’ as a marker of time: a reminder of ourselves, of our own physicality, temporality and transitory nature of existence. While we learn to connect and re-connect in new and different [electronic] ways, hopefully we can remember to slow down a bit, as well…
