    Dora Jeridi
    Apr 16 2025
    Ep.241 Dora Jeridi's work is characterized by a dynamic, expressive approach to painting, blending intense emotion with powerful physicality. She continuously adds to her compositions until they take on a spirit of their own, like painterly symphonies where fragmented forms emerge from a sea of expressive brushstrokes. Jeridi conceals and unveils her forms through the careful layering of various mediums: oil, charcoal, and occasionally ball-point pen or spray paint. Interested in the tension between figuration and abstraction, Jeridi's canvases are marked by a striking use of contrasts—chaotic colors, diverse textures, quiet and violent subjects—reflecting complexities of the human experience. Her paintings evoke narratives that are both enigmatic and visceral, autobiographical and societal, where her figures become universal in their anonymity. Jeridi encourages us to dwell in uncertainty, to explore the spaces where meaning remains both elusive and profound.

    Tyler Ballon (b. 1996, Jersey City, NJ) creates monumental works inspired by the lives of people in his community. His artistic journey was shaped early on by his grandmother, a community activist and school lunch lady who embodied service and compassion. Tyler’s grandmother recognized his talent and instilled in him a respect for others, regardless of their circumstances. Though initially torn between sports and art, Tyler chose the latter, dedicating himself to painting with the encouragement of his grandmother and his family. His parents, both pastors, reinforced his faith and sense of purpose. Tyler refined his skills through an advanced art program in his high school—the JC Arts program—and later at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where he earned his BFA in 2018. After graduation, Tyler returned to his community, making its people the focal point of his work. Through large-scale paintings, he honors their lives and experiences, ensuring they are seen and celebrated. His art embodies his faith, principles, and the legacy of his grandmother, offering encouragement and validation to those around him.
