The Funky, Off-beat Artistry of Jon Arge

“Drag Queen Rejoicing” could be the title of the collection Jon Arge is offering for ARTvision-6: “restoreARTive: creative therapy.” Named Best Local Artist by readers of GA Voice in 2010, Jon is found frequently bucking trends and busting preconceived notions - and that includes our custom-framed photos of drag queens like “DisFunksha.” (read more)

As he told Mike Fleming in a
profile of Jon in Project Q Atlanta last year:

“My art consists of everything I’ve shoved in my eyes since birth, and it’s all in my head mingling around like a cocktail party. I’m just the host,” he explains. “There are a billion different themes that can get it on in a billion different ways, and when a piece is ready, it simply reveals itself to me. I go to work on it, and while I’m doing so, the piece then reveals even more about itself along the way.”

Featured: Todd Wiggins' Nature Photography Yields "Presence"

As a first-time exhibitor, traveler extraordinaire Todd Wiggins brings a unique, thoughtful eye to each scene he encounters. “The original reason for taking this picture was that I thought it was beautiful, so I found a unique angle looking directly down from above the cactus,” he says. “This framed the delicate bloom amid the harsh spines protruding in every direction from the stems below.

“Unknowingly at the time and as sometimes luckily happens, this photograph also captured the feeling of the moment and the essence of the object.



“I feel the ‘presence’ of nature in this photograph - the peace of the dessert, the grandeur of its home in the Grand Canyon,” he adds. “Nature continually astounds me in its ability to be completely present and self-assured despite its fragility.” For more, go directly to
Todd’s ARTvision artist page.

Presence” is offered for a donation to Positive Impact for $400.
