Jeffery Geller and Irina Shin Geller are the judges of this juried show and owners of Red Springs Artspace, located at 200 S Main Street, Red Springs, NC. Geller was the recipient of first place in the “Fall into Winter Exhibition” at Robeson Art Guild in Lumberton, North Carolina.
Geller began taking art classes in his youth and continued painting and sculpture classes while at California State University, Northridge, where he completed his BA. In graduate school at Duke University, he worked for three semesters with the painter Vernon Pratt. He has taught philosophy and logic at the University of North Carolina Pembroke and collaborated closely with the Art Department. Geller exhibited at the Hogarth Worldwide Biannual in New York in 2014.
Shin-Geller is a Korean-Russian artist. She studied graphic design at Parsons School of Design after immigrating to the U.S. In 2020, she moved to Red Springs, North Carolina, and became a Red Springs Artspace Artist.
“I like to create images that convey usual textures, patterns, shapes, and shadows. I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and media: acrylics, oils, watercolor, photography, and 3D,” Shin-Geller said. “Recently, my preferred material to work with is hanji-a, a handmade mulberry paper from Korea. Hanji-a has been known in Korea for many centuries and was used by my ancestors. I am of Korean ancestry. When I grew up in the former Soviet Union, I was not encouraged to value my ethnicity and cultural heritage. Now that I am older, I feel the need and have the freedom to get back to my Korean roots. It helps me understand what makes me unique, what is valuable to me, and what path to take in the future.”
