You are cordially invited to attend “PHILADELPHIA,” an homage to the city that has raised me post-university.

It occurred to me about 5 months ago that I should paint this strange place. Since moving here, August 2010, I’ve been struck by the nature of the city: its subcultures, its layout, its people and its movements. Daily, the dramatic juxtaposition of decay and rebirth stops me mid-commute, constantly challenging what I consider to be normal to find in an American city in the 21st century. You can expect to see a body of work largely representational, although not completely, of scenes uniquely “Philadelphian.” These are moments belonging to my own personal experience in the last 4 months; they are from my kitchen, my rollerblade commute, a day at the museum or an interesting encounter. My hope, however, is that this show transcends my own experience and feels familiar to residents and visitors alike. It is a show that investigates appropriation, site specificity and the role of the illustrator as a sort of historian, a recorder of time. So please join me May 4th at Part Time Studios for the opening of PHILADELPHIA, A Painting and Drawing Show by Aj Rombach.

Here is a preview of Part Time’s next exhibition!

“Planar” refers to that which is flat or two dimensional. The works of Simmons and Ulmer are two sides of the same stock. In these works both artists allude to a certain dilated perception through their use of simplistic two-dimensional imagery.

Nowhere But Here presented by Jeffrey Stockbridge.

Opening Reception:  Friday, June 3, 2011, 6 – 10 pm

The most recent body of work by photographer Jeffrey Stockbridge chronicles the daily life of Kensington Avenue’s forlorn residents as they battle to survive an environment overcome by drugs and prostitution.  Nowhere But Here, currently in progress, stems from Stockbridge’s previous work documenting the disquieting interiors of abandoned houses in Philadelphia.  With a sentiment not unfamiliar, Stockbridge has taken up portraiture backed by his signature use of his 4×5 view camera and available light.  Intrigued by the nature of addiction, Stockbridge turns his camera on the prostitutes and drug addicts, who, in their quest to survive, exude strength out of a crippling weakness.  Caught in the grip of their addiction, these individuals endure unthinkable pain on a daily basis and do whatever it takes to stay alive except for getting clean.
