Edition: 100

Michael David Mayo is a contemporary American artist and philosopher recognized as the pioneer of "Quantum Realism," a style that merges classical oil painting techniques with a deeply conceptual approach to capture both tangible and intangible aspects of existence. His work is not merely a visual experience but a philosophical exploration of emotion, energy, and the human condition, intended to be felt rather than explained. Mayo views painting as his language for honesty and presence, a meditative practice rather than a performance, where he listens for the truth that arrives through color and form.
Beyond his canvas work, Mayo is a notable mentor and advocate within the global art community, inspiring thousands with his insights on creativity, healing, and self-expression. He believes art is for everyone and a vital tool for mental well-being and personal development, providing a sanctuary from life's challenges.

Title: Holiday Block And Roll
Medium: Acrylic, Aerosol and Screen Print On Wood Blocks
Size: (8) 2 x 2 x 2 Inches Each
Edition: 125
Price: $200

 

FAILE is the Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil (b. 1975, Edmonton, Canada) and Patrick Miller (b. 1976, Minneapolis, USA), known for its wide-ranging multimedia practice that blurs the lines between "high" and "low" culture. The name FAILE is an anagram of their original project, "A Life," and reflects the duo's philosophy of transformation. Since their inception in 1999, FAILE has established itself as a significant force in contemporary art, recognized as pioneers in the global street art movement.
Their signature style is a fragmented form of appropriation and collage, constructed from found imagery and characterized by bold graphics, vibrant colors, and dynamic typography. FAILE's work draws heavily from American pop culture, advertising, comic books, and pulp magazines, blending these elements into visually complex narratives.
While painting and printmaking remain central to their approach, the artists have adapted their style to a vast array of materials and techniques, including large-scale murals, screenprints, sculptures, and ambitious interactive installations. Notable projects include large-scale "Prayer Wheels" in Times Square and an urban temple in Portugal, as well as the interactive "Deluxx Fluxx" arcade, which features customized video games and pinball machines.
FAILE's art is widely exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Brooklyn Museum and the Tate Modern, and their pieces command a wide range at auction. Through their diverse output, FAILE continues to explore themes of duality, consumerism, and the ephemeral nature of urban art, inviting audience participation and challenging conventional artistic boundaries.

Zoe Keller 'Sharks Of The World' Print Available

Artist: Zoe Keller
Title: Sharks Of The World
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 18 x 24 Inches
Edition: 100
Price: $125

 

Zoe Keller is an American artist and illustrator renowned for her meticulously detailed, large-scale drawings created primarily with graphite and ink. A native of Woodstock, New York, her deep connection to nature was fostered by a creative upbringing in the rural Catskills, shaping her future as an artist and amateur naturalist. Keller's work is characterized by a scientific precision and a narrative quality, blending realism with hints of surrealism to explore the complex, interconnected beauty of fragile ecosystems. 
Keller's art is deeply rooted in environmental activism and the natural sciences. She places a special focus on at-risk species and wildlands, creating visual narratives that highlight the biodiversity facing human-driven mass extinction. Each drawing serves as an urgent call to action, aiming to inspire reverence for the natural world. Keller's immersive process involves months of academic research, collaborations with the scientific community, and on-the-ground experiences in wild places through artist residencies and self-directed expeditions. She has noted that drawing is her way of understanding how organisms and ecosystems work, and in "darker moments," her art functions as a "mourning ritual" for species that may soon vanish

Dave Kinsey 'Blue Moon' Print Available

Artist: Dave Kinsey
Title: Blue Moon
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 18 x 24 Inches
Edition: 50
Price: $145

Dave Kinsey is a contemporary American multidisciplinary artist, painter, and designer known for his vibrant, layered works that explore the human condition and the complexities of modern life. Born in Pittsburgh in 1971, Kinsey was influenced by the raw energy of 1980s graffiti culture and early hip-hop, leading him to experiment with street art during his formative years. He pursued formal education at the Art Institutes of Pittsburgh and Atlanta before moving to California in 1994, where his career flourished.
Kinsey's work is characterized by its dynamic synthesis of diverse mediums, including mixed-media paintings, large-scale murals, relief pieces, and outdoor sculptures. He constructs multi-layered, textured environments using acrylic and oil paints with found materials like wood, canvas, and chipboard, creating a visual tension between chaotic abstraction and figuration. His unique style, developed through years of studying and interpreting other artists' work, uses color, movement, and composition to address themes such as consumerism, data domination, political upheaval, and the struggle between the urban and natural worlds.
Beyond his studio practice, Kinsey co-founded the influential creative studio BLK/MRKT in 1996 and the BLK/MRKT Gallery (now Kinsey/DesForges) in 2001, providing a platform for emerging iconoclasts in the art world. His art has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and has been featured in publications like The New York Times and Juxtapoz Magazine.

Chase Mullen 'Beach House' Print Available

Artist: Chase Mullen
Title: Beach House
Medium: Deckled Giclee Print
Size: 16 x 20 Inches
Edition: 30
Price: $250

 

Chase Mullen is a contemporary photorealistic painter from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, known for his detailed depictions of Southern U.S. wildlife and natural landscapes. His art blends scientific illustration with a modern, sometimes surreal, approach, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of nature and humanity in the South.
Growing up exploring local creeks and ponds, Mullen developed a deep connection to the natural world. His passion for art and nature is evident in his meticulous work, which draws heavily from the legacy of early naturalists and artists like John James Audubon. Mullen admires Audubon's ability to document nature before the camera, a romantic ideal he carries into his own practice.
Mullen's signature style involves painting on smooth birch panels, which allows for intricate detail without the distraction of canvas texture. He favors clean, white backgrounds, similar to those found in antique field guides, to focus attention on the subject's anatomy, shape, and texture.
His paintings often create a subtle tension by juxtaposing organic elements with man-made objects, reflecting on the impact of human presence and climate change on Louisiana's delicate ecology. Despite potential allegorical interpretations, Mullen emphasizes that his primary goal is to find and share the beauty of his culture and home state, adding to the contemporary dialogue surrounding the Southern landscape.
Mullen's work has been exhibited in galleries across the U.S. and internationally, and in 2024, he held his first museum exhibition, "Second Nature," at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum.

Seth Armstrong is a contemporary American artist born in 1983 and based in Los Angeles, renowned for his captivating oil paintings of cityscapes, landscapes, and portraits.

Armstrong's artistic education began in the Bay Area, where he earned a BFA from the California College of the Arts, including a pivotal year studying painting in Northern Holland. This time in Holland fostered his appreciation for the tactile qualities of oil paint and the dramatic use of light, an influence from the Dutch Renaissance masters that is evident in his work. He also draws inspiration from the California Plein Air movement and Impressionists like Monet and Cézanne.
His paintings often depict the dense, hilly neighborhoods of Los Angeles, utilizing saturated palettes of blues, greens, and warm yellows to create an ethereal glow. The scenes often evoke a sense of intimacy and voyeuristic curiosity, inviting viewers to imagine the hidden narratives behind closed doors and quiet facades.
Beyond his fine art, Armstrong has also had a prolific career as a commercial illustrator, with his work featured in global advertisements and commissioned for musical artists such as Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj.
