The Domont Gallery presents Charity by Numbers
an artistic benefit for the Damien Center
The Domont Studio Gallery presents a unique and innovative art event to benefit the Damien Center, Indiana's leading AIDS/HIV organization. A selection of Indiana's finest artists, featured below, have come together to work with the legendary retro medium of the paint by number. Each artist takes a classic paint by number kit and instead of using the paints provided - uses their own medium and colors to express their own style and creativity. All paint by numbers will be available for purchase with every dollar benefiting the Damien Center's many programs that go towards HIV/AIDS prevention, testing and awareness. In addition to the featured artists, you will also see the work of Aloysius Kissle who is HIV positive and a client of the Damien Center. Visit the Domont Gallery to see these fine original works in person or you may bid online in a silent auction format. The Domont Gallery is located at 545 South East Street or you can visit http://www.domontgallery.com/index.html for more information.
Thanks to the generosity of John Domont, the artists and participants in the silent auction, the Damien Center was able to raise $13,050, through Charity by Numbers!

"My work is a collection of symbols. Figures, birds, flowers, foliage and envelopes function like text to trigger response and connections. In these paintings I invite viewers to make their own interpretations and connections with the visual clues in the images. Like moments in time, memories and dreams, the figures and images serve as starters for dialogue with the viewer."

I believe that artists should not be restricted and the mediums in which they communication. I refuse to be typecast. Thus my goal is to experiment with form, composition, and color to create pieces that will appeal to a wide audience in different mediums.

James Wille Faust
http://www.slowart.com/articles/faust.htm
The paintings of James Wille Faust are stylistically modern in their hard-edged geometry, but the roots of his work lie in the simple naturalism of a rural landscape painter. The artist was born in the 1950s on a farm in Lapel, Indiana. Surrounded by crops and livestock, his childhood years were spent exploring the woods and fields under the magnificent, open, Midwestern sky. The awe of nature in the young Faust that inspired him to become an artist and formed the developmental basis of his art.

Brian Myers

My earlier still life paintings focused on simple objects like folding chairs, umbrellas, broken toys, or paper airplanes. These objects were painted directly from life as they lay on the studio floor. The goal was that the works be visually pleasing and enjoyable in the formal sense, emphasizing process and the tactile qualities of paint as opposed to taking a photorealistic approach to the subject matter. My recent work draws from mass media images of the chaos that is so much a part of life in the modern world. Again the goal is to make works that are visually pleasing and enjoyable in the formal sense, utilizing low resolution news clippings as a point of departure for painterly invention. These paintings explore present and pending natural disasters, war, and the general indiscretion of man in the search for redemption.
