Alexander Tovborg, Humanity Is At Stake, 2016 Signed Lithograph, 28 by 24 inches, edition 28 of 35.

Taking as his starting point history, mythology, religion, as well as written and oral narratives, Alexander Tovborg draws on the stories that have come before us in order to explore and re-contextualise classical archetypes. In looking at the ways through which we have built our narratives in the past, he proposes a new reading of our current social and political situation, examining who we are and where we find ourselves today.

His laborious and layered practice is such that he begins to embody the people that he is focusing on-going through the arc of their stories, adopting their beliefs, their causes and their pain. Using borrowed and created symbols in a rhythmic and insistent manner, Alexander Tovborg creates a kind of visual language which runs throughout his work, spanning different series and figures. This visual language connects the work, but also connects the differing narratives, reminding us of the similarities which run through many of the world's origin stories.

This emphasis on the various symbolisms that are found throughout these ancient narratives is something that Tovborg sees as essential to his practice, as he asserts the weight and power that images have within our contemporary culture, as well as how easily they can be manipulated and used against us. Acting on their behalf, Tovborg engages in an effort to keep their meanings open, giving us each the chance to see in them all that they encompass.

Alexander Tovborg (b.1983, Denmark) graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2010. With solos at Overgaden (Copenhagen) and GL Strand (Copenhagen), Tovborg has shown at ARKEN (Ishøj), ARoS (Aarhus), IMMA Museum of Modern Art (Dublin), Spiritmuseum (Stockholm), Holstebro Kunstmuseum (Holstebro), KØS (Køge) among others. His works are represented in the public collections of Hammer Museum (Los Angeles), ARKEN (Ishøj), ARoS (Aarhus), and Museet For Religious Kunst (Lemvig). In 2019 he will open an exhibition at Rudolph Tegner Museum (Dronningmølle).

This Owl is made of clay and sculpted one at a time. After drying for a week it is bisque fired and then ready to be glazed and fired a second time in my custom raku kiln. Raku is done outside under a lean-to as it produces smoke in the final firing. The owl is taken red hot out of the kiln at 1850 degrees and placed in a container with sawdust and whole oats and newspaper. The fire interacts with the copper in the glaze and the unglazed bottom of the piece is smoke colored. The copper gaze is always unique as the fire licks the surface and creates a pattern.

The Hermit by Leigh J McCloskey. Signed 1st edition limited print run of 90 on heavy Bristol board paper. From his series of twenty two original pen and ink drawings for the Major Arcana and his masterwork of text and art, Tarot ReVisioned (2003). Dimensions 11 x 17.

Leigh's art reflects a quest for the heart of creativity and imaginative vision. Leigh considers the depth of his work the outgrowth of his years spent away from the world (while enjoying an acting career) exploring avenues of creative expression that owe no allegiance to contemporary fads or beliefs. Leigh considers himself more an explorer than artist, his art being the outcome of his active journey through the realms of creative vision. For Leigh his art is how he asks questions of a lasting nature and his means for living an examined life.

Untitled, 2019

Brandon Boyd's work as a singer, songwriter, both as a solo artist and with his platinum-selling rock band, Incubus, is well documented and universally acclaimed. But now his other life's work -- that of a painter -- has been garnering increasing attention and devoted audiences of its own.

In his painting and drawings, Boyd reveals a personal, freeform, ambiguous kind of visual style that focuses on magic, serendipity, curiosity and mystery. Describing his art-making process as a kind of "blissful, familiar trance," Boyd's works carry both the evidence of the beautiful chaos and the power of revealing the narratives inside of it. His images are constructed by chance through colorful ink spills and the contents of his own travel journals. As songs might come to him in a dream, so he discovers the vibrant, witty, eccentrically classical constellations of shape and circumstance that hide in plain view or emerge from his own quieted mind through another kind of sight.

Boyd's paintings have been exhibited across the United States and Europe. He has also published three books of his work.

Boyd was a natural artist from childhood, and in fact his dream to attend art school after college once sat within his grasp, scholarships and all. He ended up signing a record deal instead. Through the next 25 whirlwind years, he never stopped painting and drawing, coming to view the creative processes of musicianship and visual artistry as both complementary and intertwined. "The music is intellectual," Boyd says. "It tickles and frustrates me; it's untouchable and fascinating. The art is intuitive, more like just breathing. It's just a part of me."
