_______________

AJ Masthay is a contemporary artist best known for his distinctive concert "gig prints" created using the traditional medium of reduction linoleum block printing. A native of Connecticut, Masthay has established himself by embracing a labor-intensive, hand-carved process in an industry dominated by digital design, making his work unique and highly sought after.
His artistic process involves carving a single block of linoleum, printing a color, then carving more from the same block for the next color, and so on, building complexity with each layer. This subtractive method results in limited-edition prints. Masthay's subjects are primarily inspired by live music and bands like the Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers, capturing the vibrant energy and spirit of the music scene.
Masthay's work is valued for its craftsmanship and tangible connection to artisanal methods. His art has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices for original pieces reflecting their collectability. He operates Masthay Studios LLC, from which he sells his original prints and limited edition digital reproductions on Moab Entrada Rag paper. He also engages with the art community as a mentor, sharing his expertise in traditional printmaking.

Charlie Edmiston 'Jaunt #115' Print Available

Artist: Charlie Edmiston
Title: Jaunt #115
Medium: 3 Color Screen Print
Size: 50 x 70 cm
Edition: 50
Price: €300

 

Charlie Edmiston is a Los Angeles-based abstract artist known for his bold, large-scale works and distinctive use of color and geometric shapes. His artistic journey began with a foundation in graffiti and street art, a background that has influenced his risk-taking and vibrant contemporary style.
A graduate of the Otis College of Art and Design, Edmiston comes from a family of artists, with a calligrapher father and a cartoonist grandmother. This artistic lineage is evident in the dynamic and diverse nature of his work, which seamlessly transitions between large and small scales, and from free-form expression to structured geometric abstraction. His pieces consistently exude a sense of verve and vivacity, challenging viewers with compelling color compositions.
Edmiston's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including shows at Scope Miami, the Urban Art Fair in France, and Avenue des Arts Gallery in California. He gained significant recognition when he was commissioned to create an official, Lucasfilm-licensed portrait of Luke Skywalker for a Star Wars coin, which is now archived in the Lucasfilm archives.
In 2024, at Milan Design Week, Edmiston presented four new works that demonstrated a dialogue between classic mid-century Danish design and California contemporary art. These pieces were specifically inspired by the timeless designs of the late Danish designer Finn Juhl, focusing on color theory, shape, and craftsmanship, mirroring Juhl's unique sculptor-like approach to furniture. This collaboration highlights his versatility and ability to draw inspiration from diverse sources, translating them into his unique abstract visual language.

Judy Chicago 'Reincarnation' Triptych Available

Artist: Judy Chicago
Title: Reincarnation (Triptych)
Medium: Sparkle Gloss Varnished 24 Color Screen Print
Size: 105 x 44 cm
Edition: 50
Price: €3,025 

 

Judy Chicago is an American artist, educator and writer born in 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, celebrated for her pioneering role in feminist art and her commitment to exploring the female experience through bold, collaborative works. Trained at UCLA, she challenged the male-dominated art world by creating powerful pieces that celebrate women’s history, sexuality and creativity. Her most famous work, The Dinner Party (1974-79), is a monumental installation featuring a triangular table with 39 elaborate place settings dedicated to significant women from history and mythology, each rendered in ceramics, textiles and embroidery, merging craft with fine art to elevate traditionally feminine skills.
Chicago’s practice spans painting, sculpture, installation and performance, often employing vivid colours and symbolic forms to confront taboos and reclaim female narratives. Her Birth Project (1980-85) involved hundreds of volunteers in creating textile pieces depicting childbirth, while The Holocaust Project (1985-93) explored genocide through tapestry and stained glass, demonstrating her ability to tackle complex historical subjects with emotional depth and visual impact.
A dedicated educator, Chicago founded the first feminist art program in the United States at Fresno State College in 1970, inspiring generations of artists to question gender roles and institutional power. Her teaching emphasized collaboration, personal narrative and the validation of craft as high art, breaking down barriers between disciplines and hierarchies.
Today, Chicago continues to create and advocate, producing works that address climate change, ageing and the ongoing struggle for gender equality. Her art is held in major museums worldwide, including the Brooklyn Museum and the Tate Modern. Through her unwavering commitment to feminist principles and collaborative practice, Judy Chicago has transformed contemporary art, ensuring that women’s voices and experiences are seen, heard and celebrated.

Kerry James Marshall 'Vignettes' Folio Available

Artist: Kerry James Marshall
Title: Vignettes
Medium: Giclee Prints
Size: (A3) 29.7 x 42 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: £195

 

Kerry James Marshall is an American painter born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1955, whose real name is Kerry James Marshall. He is celebrated for placing Black subjects at the center of Western art history, using deep, obsidian pigments to assert presence and challenge centuries of erasure. After moving to Los Angeles in 1963 and studying at Otis College of Art and Design, he developed a precise, layered technique that fuses Renaissance glazing with contemporary narrative, often working in egg tempera for unmatched chromatic depth.
His landmark pieces include A Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow of His Former Self (1980), a near-black figure emerging from an equally black ground, and the monumental Many Mansions (1994), where three impeccably dressed men tend a flowerbed in front of crumbling public housing, ironically titled after a biblical promise of abundance. These works confront stereotypes while infusing scenes of everyday Black life with dignity, hope and biting satire.
Marshall’s practice extends to history painting, collage and public murals, all aimed at “wrestling with the sinewy, sneaky forces of colonization, privilege and erasure”. His 2012 canvas School of Beauty, School of Culture reimagines Velázquez’s Las Meninas inside a bustling African American hair salon, complete with a distorted Disney princess that critiques Western beauty standards.
Recipient of a 1997 MacArthur Fellowship and the 2014 Wolfgang Hahn Prize, Marshall continues to live and work in Chicago, producing works that insist on the visibility, complexity and beauty of Black experience within the grand narrative of art.

Vonn Cummings Sumner 'Reliquary' Print Available

Artist: Vonn Cummings Sumner
Title: Reliquary
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 24 x 30 Inches
Edition: 25
Prices: $500

Vonn Cummings Sumner is a Los Angeles based painter and professor who transforms existential unease into luminous, gently humorous tableaux. Born in 1973, he earned a BFA at UC Davis, where Wayne Thiebaud first showed the class a Krazy Kat strip and declared George Herriman the equal of Goya; that moment sparked a lifelong obsession with the gender-fluid, brick-loving cat who now populates Sumner’s canvases.
Working in oil on panel, he layers translucent glazes over soft monochrome grounds, creating depth that feels both old master solemn and Sunday paper light. His palette shifts from desert ochres to pool water cyans, echoing the sudden time of day changes that define Herriman’s original strips. Figures are rendered with delicate modeling yet placed in absurd scenarios: Krazy wanders a forest at dusk, dons a haz-mat suit to queue outside a supermarket, or stares at a dumpster fire while clutching a single red brick. These vignettes serve as stand ins for contemporary anxieties pandemic protocols, consumer absurdity, ecological dread yet they maintain the strip’s tender optimism.
Sumner insists the paintings are not nostalgia but sideways self-portraiture; by approaching issues obliquely through an “empathetic effigy,” he avoids didactic cliché and invites viewers to laugh, wince and recognise their own bewilderment. Recent exhibitions such as Second Nature at Morton Fine Art pair Krazy with floating dollar bills, toilet-paper still lifes and protective-tape barriers, turning gallery walls into a gently surreal mirror of our collective moment. Whether teaching at Fullerton College or painting into the night, Sumner keeps the anarchic spirit of Krazy alive, proving that a century old sprite can still help us process the ever shifting world outside the window.

Jeff Soto 'Migration' Print Available

Artist: Jeff Soto
Title: Migration
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 16.7 x 25 Inches
Edition: 50
Price: $210

 

Jeff Soto is a Californian painter, muralist and printmaker who fuses gritty street energy with dreamlike fantasy. Born in Fullerton in 1975, he grew up skateboarding and simultaneously discovered graffiti and traditional oil painting, twin passions that still feed his work. After earning a BFA with distinction from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, he spent years travelling the globe, exhibiting in galleries from New York to Nuremberg and translating band posters into collectible art.
Soto’s distinct colour palette glows with phosphorescent greens, radioactive oranges and deep midnight blues, laid down in acrylic and aerosol. His imagery bridges pop surrealism and street art: robotic owls, blooming skulls, circuit-board forests and gentle giants stride across canvases that feel like storybook pages left in the rain. Influences range from eighties fantasy films and science-fiction paperbacks to Max Ernst and Frida Kahlo, yet the final vision is unmistakably his own.
He approaches each mural without projections, sketching loose charcoal arcs then building layers of spray and brush until walls shimmer like arcade cabinets. Gig posters for Phish, My Morning Jacket and The Flaming Lips showcase the same ethos, marrying technical screen-print precision with raw, emotional colour. A retrospective titled Potatostamp at Riverside Art Museum gathered over seventy posters and dozens of original ink drawings, celebrating fifteen years of printmaking obsession.
Today Soto balances studio work with teaching studio art at Riverside City College, mentoring the next generation while continuing to paint public walls and release limited editions that sell out in minutes. Whether rendering a six-storey endangered bee or a small talismanic print, he seeks the fragile moment when nature and technology, beauty and decay, dissolve into luminous harmony.

Beth Xia 'Sheep' Print Available

Artist: Beth Xia
Title: Sheep
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A2) 42 x 59.4 cm
Edition: OPEN
Price: $129

 

Beth Xia is a Chinese American artist who paints luminous dreamscapes where memory and myth dissolve into color. Born in Guangzhou in 1993, she grew up among incense filled temples and neon markets, absorbing the contrast of ancient ritual and restless commerce. At seventeen she moved to California, earning a BFA from ArtCenter College of Design and later an MFA at Columbia University. These crossings feed her work: ink traditions meet acrylic haze, eastern motifs float within western abstraction, creating atmospheres that feel both intimate and vast. Xia begins each canvas with automatic graphite marks, letting hand movement summon half remembered stories. She then layers transparent washes, gold leaf, and embroidered thread until figures emerge like spirits caught between worlds. Recurrent symbols include carp swimming through clouds, lotus lanterns adrift on midnight tides, and solitary girls whose eyes reflect entire cities. The palette shifts from jade and vermilion to electric violet, suggesting twilight moments when reality loosens.

Her 2022 solo show at Kasmin Gallery presented monumental scrolls where visitors could walk alongside continuous narratives of migration and return. Xia describes the process as breathing with the painting, allowing error and repair to remain visible, scars that honor impermanence. Recent murals in Shenzhen and Los Angeles transform public walls into shimmering portals, inviting commuters to pause within daydreams. Commercial collaborations with fashion houses translate her textures onto silk scarves worn by performers on world tours. Awards include the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant and Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia. Whether working on linen twenty feet wide or rice paper the size of a postcard, she seeks the fragile edge where personal history dissolves into collective myth, reminding viewers that identity is not a fixed shore but a tide forever arriving and departing.
