Ash “Wolfdog” Hayner

From a young age, Atlanta-based Ash Hayner has been a visual artist. Hayner, who also goes by the moniker Wolfdog, began his career as a graphic designer, and has progressively distilled his visual language to the bare necessities of color, line, form, value and texture, crafting images that merge the fundamental characteristics of expressionism with his personal interpretation of technological layering.

Carl Cashman is an artist who specializes in vibrant neon colored op- art, a genre he has coined “neometry”, or neon geometry. The works are hypnotic, at times bordering on the hallucinatory, and blur the distinction between digital and analogue forms. Entirely executed by hand, the paintings are crisp, precise and graphically decisive, though clearly hand crafted rather than digitally produced. Cashman creates his imagery in the absence of any digital means, relying exclusively on a sketch pad, pencil, tape and acrylic paint. These electric hued pieces sit on the cusp somewhere between grid- inspired modernism and contemporary psychedelia. His work has been featured in several group and solo exhibitions throughout the United States and in international settings. Carter Flachbarth

Carter Flachbarth was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1996. He is a current BFA candidate at Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta. Carter is a painter that draws on his personal experiences in the 21st century to create his mixed media imagery. Carter objectively records his daily life through drawings and writings. Then, using an app he developed, the drawn experiences are collaged and manipulated into a single image. With this information, Carter flips the way we understand technology by allowing the app to be the creator and himself to be the tool. He creates this work because of his interest in the idea of the individual as it relates to a digital user experience and a curiosity to reconcile his own individuality and honesty through algorithmic processes. Carter has exhibited at various galleries across the southeast and his work has been featured in Wotisart? magazine from Manchester, England (2018). Carter continues to live and work in Atlanta where he develops his practice. Claire Foxton
