Amy Sol 'Blue Night' Painting Available

Artist: Amy Sol
Title: Blue Night
Medium: Acrylic on Wood Panel
Size: 9 x 12 Inches
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: $2,000

 

Amy Sol is a prominent American painter and sculptor known for her evocative, dreamlike artwork that blends the natural world with introspective narratives. The self-taught artist spent her childhood in Korea before moving to Las Vegas, where she established her unique visual language, though some sources indicate she currently lives in California. Her style is a unique synthesis, influenced by disparate sources such as classical animation (including Ghibli films and early Disney), manga, traditional folk art, and vintage illustration.
Sol’s art is characterized by a distinctive, muted color palette, which she developed over many years by mixing various pigments and mediums. She typically paints on glazed, primed wooden panels, purposefully incorporating the natural grain of the wood into the composition to add a sense of organic flow and life to her pieces. The subject matter often features young female figures interacting with oversized or fantastical animals in tranquil, exotic landscapes filled with mist, unusual plants, and rolling hills. These figures are typically in a state of repose or quiet reflection, and the animals are presented not as pets but as mythic partners or companions.
Working with an intuitive process, Sol intends for the theme of each image to be subjectively interpreted by the viewer, often using her creative time as a form of meditation. Her art aims to invite a sense of calm and introspection, encouraging viewers to find a connection with nature and their inner selves. Since the early 2010s, her work has been exhibited internationally in galleries, art fairs, and as large scale public murals, solidifying her place in the Pop Surrealism or "cartoon-tainted abstract surrealism" movements. Her work continues to explore themes of companionship, human pathos, and the tranquility found in a harmonious blend of the earthly and the ethereal.

Isaac Pelayo 'When Doves Cry' Print Available

Artist: Isaac Pelayo
Title: When Doves Cry
Medium: Hand Embellished Giclee Print
Size: 14 x 20 Inches
Edition: 50
Price: $150

 

Isaac Pelayo is a contemporary American painter whose distinctive style embodies a "head-on collision between Renaissance art and street culture". Born in Los Angeles in 1996, Pelayo found an escape from a tumultuous childhood in art, initially developing his skills through hyperrealistic pencil portraits and later transitioning to oil painting. His work is deeply influenced by Old Masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt, a fascination developed from visiting museums, which he juxtaposes with inspiration from modern graffiti artists like Shepard Fairey and the raw energy of the urban environment he grew up in. This unique blend, which he calls "Street Baroque," features meticulously rendered classical imagery alongside loose, expressionistic elements like careless paint drips, spray paint, and his signature motif of a third eye and a yellow smiley face.
Pelayo's career gained significant momentum in 2017 after rapper and art collector Westside Gunn discovered his work on Instagram. This connection led to collaborations on album covers for Gunn and other artists on the Griselda Records label, significantly boosting Pelayo's public profile and attracting a wide network of celebrity collectors including Sean "Diddy" Combs and Shepard Fairey. A notable moment in his career came in 2019 when he installed a temporary wall across from the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills, featuring an altered Mona Lisa with the text "walls are for art! Not dividing people" as a protest against the U.S.-Mexico border wall. After being laid off from his job in the Ink and Paint department at Disney during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pelayo successfully turned his artistic side hustle into a six-figure income, selling numerous paintings and prints online and becoming a sought-after tattoo artist for influencers. He continues to exhibit his work in galleries and museums and is actively involved in various entrepreneurial endeavors within the art and music worlds.

Vinne Hager 'Trucker Hats' Available

Artist: Chris Austin
Title: Pasture Gazing/Mythical Time Zone/Middle Of The Night
Medium: Hand Painted Trucker Hat
Size: SnapBacks
Edition: 5 (Each Color)
Price: $135

Vinnie Hager is a multidisciplinary American artist and designer from Baltimore, Maryland, known for his distinctive style that bridges the gap between physical and digital mediums. Born in 1996, his artistic journey began with a childhood surrounded by art and an early, almost addictive, inclination towards drawing and doodling. Hager developed a unique visual language using a vocabulary of lines, shapes, characters, and symbols that connect in intricate patterns, resembling a complex jigsaw puzzle. This personal iconography, which includes recognizable elements like envelopes, flowers, and eyes alongside abstract forms, is a constant motif in his work and can be adapted across various scales and surfaces.
Hager earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2021, and his work is deeply autobiographical, often serving as a therapeutic outlet to process significant personal losses, including the passing of his parents and brother between 2016 and 2019. His artistic practice, which is influenced by internet culture and nostalgia for skateboarding aesthetics, fluidly combines traditional drawings and paintings with new technologies, including high profile NFT collections like "Letters" and the deeply personal "Diary" project.
Hager has transitioned his art into numerous commercial and public spheres, moving beyond traditional paper and canvas to home decor, apparel, and large-scale architectural public art activations. His work has appeared on a billboard in Times Square and in group exhibitions at various galleries and museums, including the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts and Art Basel in Miami. Hager remains prolific, continually exploring diverse outlets and mediums to expand his evolving career and share his unique visual story with a global audience.

___________ 

Bisco Smith is a contemporary American artist, born on July 22, 1980, known for his dynamic style that merges a graffiti background with abstract expressionism. His work, which often uses a stark black and white palette, is characterized by powerful, gestural marks and abstracted text that capture the raw energy of a specific moment. The artist, who was originally known as the DJ and rapper "Bisc1" in the Brooklyn underground hip hop scene, views his process as a "visual freestyle" that translates the rhythms of music into a visual format. His unique approach developed in 2011 when he began writing out his goals on his apartment wall, essentially turning songwriting into painting. The resulting compositions are collections of words that are abstracted to the point of being nearly unreadable, encouraging viewers to instead appreciate the design, motion, and embedded energy.
Smith's creative journey began with skateboarding and urban tagging in the 1990s, an interest he later refined at the Pratt Institute. He often works on a variety of scales and formats, from studio canvases to large outdoor murals found in major cities worldwide. He incorporates materials like household paint and large rollers, techniques learned from his time painting illegally in abandoned buildings and on train tracks. His global reach has seen him exhibit in Tokyo, Berlin, Miami, and Hong Kong. Through his work, which embodies the coexistence of music and art, Smith aims to transmit positive intentions and inspire hope for the future.

Andrew Scott 'Off Kilter' Print Available

Artist: Andrew Scott
Title: Off Kilter
Medium: Deckled Giclee Print
Size: (A4) 29.7 x 21 cm
Edition: TIMED
Price: £50

*comes unframed, frame is to convey idea framing

___________

Andrew Scott is a contemporary American artist, born in 1991, who has achieved global recognition for his innovative "frame experiments". His work challenges the traditional boundaries of art by physically altering or destroying the picture frames themselves, using tools such as hammers, chisels, and even blowtorches. This distinctive mixed media approach, which often incorporates hand-drawn digital illustrations printed on high quality paper, blurs the line between the artwork and reality, creating a dynamic, almost sculptural, experience for the viewer.
Scott's artistic journey took a pivotal turn after he lost his job in advertising during the COVID 19 pandemic, a time he felt trapped in an unfulfilling career. This personal experience of confinement and subsequent liberation is the core inspiration for his art. His pieces, which often employ a minimalist grayscale palette with selective, dramatic bursts of color, typically red, explore profound themes such as escapism, freedom, resilience, and mental health. The figures in his work, sometimes children at play or adults breaking through barriers, serve as potent metaphors for the universal human desire to overcome internal and external constraints.
Gaining immense popularity through social media platforms, where videos of his process have amassed over a billion views, Scott has successfully bridged the gap between digital engagement and the traditional art world. His work has been exhibited in international galleries and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the Tate Modern in London, and is held in the collections of various celebrities. By inviting the viewer to engage with the narrative and the physical artwork in a unique way, Andrew Scott continues to push artistic conventions, making his art not only visually captivating but also deeply thought provoking and emotionally resonant.

____________ 

Chuck Sperry, born in 1962, is a celebrated American artist and master printmaker best known for his psychedelic silkscreen prints and iconic rock posters. His work is a fusion of Art Nouveau, pop art, and classical symbolism, often featuring female muses with flowing hair and intricate, shimmering patterns. Sperry gained prominence in the San Francisco music scene, where he designed limited edition posters for legendary bands including Pearl Jam, The Who, and The Rolling Stones, with his work now archived at institutions like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
A dedicated craftsman, Sperry is known for his hands-on approach, meticulously hand printing each color layer by layer in his Oakland studio, Hangar 18, a process he views as a critical part of the artistic expression itself. Beyond music, he is a notable political activist, having co-edited the political comic book World War 3 Illustrated and created powerful protest art, such as the iconic poster for Occupy Oakland. Sperry's art, which he describes as a "utopian provocation," is internationally recognized, with solo exhibitions in major cities like Paris, Rome, and New York, and a large format book, Color x Color: The Sperry Archive 1980-2020, documenting his extensive career.

Kelly Blevins 'Morning Glory' Original Available

Artist: Kelly Blevins
Title: Morning Glory
Medium: Charcoal + Pencil on Wood Panel
Size: 40 x 30 Inches
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: $2,800

 

Kelly Blevins, a Pittsburgh-based visual artist who sometimes uses the alias Delta, is a self-taught two-dimensional artist widely recognized for her large-scale, detailed charcoal drawings. Born in Tucson, Arizona, in 1984, she primarily grew up in Ohio before moving to Pittsburgh, where her artistic career blossomed. Her work delves into profound themes related to the human condition, incorporating symbolic imagery that explores transformation, vulnerability, resilience, and the subconscious. The artist uses herself as a frequent model to create a universal figure, allowing viewers to personally connect with the raw emotions and concepts presented in her art.
Blevins' art is deeply personal, influenced by her observations of her mother's battle with degenerative progressive multiple sclerosis, which spurred her to spend countless hours drawing as a form of escape and analysis of life. She primarily uses charcoal on paper, a medium she favors for its raw and fragile style that complements the integrity of her work, often employing a precise cross-hatch method without blending tools to build intimate detail and a meditative state during creation. Her pieces are often larger than she is physically, making bold statements on universal concepts and social stigmas surrounding nudity, politics, and philosophies.
The artist has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally, with shows in the United States and the United Kingdom. In addition to her studio work, she has experience as a local muralist and currently serves as a gallery assistant at The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Blevins aims to evoke insightfulness and reflection in her audience, creating art that has a strong presence and encourages thought on matters like abuse and the silent struggles people endure. Her artistic journey is guided by a philosophy of continuous learning and embracing the freedom to grow and challenge perceptions of the world.

Dustin D. Smith 'Unearthed' Original Available

Artist: Dustin D. Smith
Title: Unearthed
Medium: Acrylic on Canvast
Size: 16 x 20 x 1.5 Inches
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: $800

 

Dustin D. Smith is a contemporary abstract artist and a seasoned creative director and designer, currently based in Bend, Oregon. His artistic journey began in central Kansas, where he found making things to be a way to control the chaos in his childhood home. He developed his skills through formal education in art and design, which led him to a successful career in the advertising world, working in Chicago and San Francisco on global collaborations in print, film, and digital production for a wide variety of clients. The move to the Pacific Northwest in 2021 was a deliberate choice to be closer to nature, and the surrounding environment of forests, rivers, and mountains heavily influences his current mindset and artwork.
Smith's artwork is a deep exploration of "permanence and impermanence" through methods of pigment application and erasure, layering and erosion. He views existence as an infinite expanse in time and space, with each life a fleeting memory, a single layer in the postulate of existence. He experiments with a myriad of styles and mediums, ranging from realism in graphite to large abstract canvases and three dimensional works. His primary mediums include acrylic, graphite, and watercolor, with his large abstracts often involving a meticulous process of design in Adobe Illustrator before being transferred to the canvas or panel. In his paintings, he balances precision with the evidence of his process, including tool marks, scrapes, and fingerprints, to reflect the transient nature of existence.
He has several distinct collections, including the "Schema" collection, which focuses on intention versus destruction, and the "Stones" series of watercolor and graphite pieces, which he describes as grounding him and reminding him of balance. An avid outdoorsman and adventurer, Smith's connection to nature and the exploration of the world around him, as well as events of the past, present, and future, all come together in his paintings to evoke exploration in the mind of the viewer.
