Marie Szalkiewicz (Mars) is a Brooklyn-based artist and arts administrator. She also works with festivals and events in an art deco and fabrication capacity. She holds a B.A. in Art History and B.A. in Communication Studies from UCLA and went on to receive her M.A. in Arts Administration from Columbia University.

Mars has created art all her life, returning to her practice especially when day-to-day life feels increasingly stressful and overwhelming. She prefers working with acrylics due to its ability to be manipulated in different ways to create various textures and patterns that bring feelings of happiness, excitement, and adventure to her viewers. Her current body of work has also begun to incorporate mixed media elements such as glitter, gold powder, and mirrors to add youthful and playful dimensions to the canvas. Mars focuses on the juxtaposition of traditional, realistic representations of figures and objects with abstract patterns, forms, and other eye-catching elements. Painting has always been a means for Mars to explore fantastical ideas in which the audience can experience her drive to portray a dreamlike world that is both meditative and exciting.

La Mer

Frank Lind

La Mer, 2006

Oil on panel

18 x 23 " (framed)

Value: $2000

This painting depicts the beach next to the lighthouse at the tip of Long Island, near Montauk. My wife, artist Jeanne Wilkinson, was my model.

*This piece is included in the Opening Night Collection.

Artist Bio:

Frank Lind is a realist painter of landscape, seascape, and figures. One of his series involves re-imagining the masters, as in inserting a modern-day nude figure into a Sargent composition. Also, in his Brooklyn studio, he has painted many pictures of one of his favorite muses, the Atlantic Ocean, particularly the shore at the tip of Long Island near Montauk. The flora and fauna of the seashore, the movement of the waves, and the play of light on water are the subjects of his work. Inspired by the painting practice of James Perry Wilson (who painted beautiful dioramas in the American Museum of Natural History In New York in the mid-20th century), his painting palette includes no tubes of green paint. As a result, all the greens in his paintings come from mixing blues, yellows, and other hues. Frank Lind's work has been shown extensively in New York City and internationally, and is included in many museums and private collections.

22 x 29"

Value: $1200

Observational drawing from a live model coexists with selected patterns, colors, and images from media, assembled and pasted down like broad swaths of paint.

*This piece is included in the Opening Night Collection.

Artist Bio:

As a multi-faceted feminist artist, my first commitment is to painting other women, the human face, and figure. Whether working with descriptive images or with the abstract use of materials, I approach all my subjects directly and with abandon. I work furiously at the intersection of disciplined control and randomized instinct.
Additionally, in my quest to discover and reveal what is most emotionally and aesthetically essential, the observational drawing aspect of these images is created with my non-dominant left hand.

Witness Trees, 2019

Oil on canvas

36 x 36"

Value: $1900

Even though recognizable as trees, I consider the birch works to be process oriented abstractions. Every painting or drawing in this series is an opportunity to be experimental, even playful, as I lay down the paint or mixed-media materials on canvas, paper, glass, or Mylar. With figurative elements, and dense repetitions, these are the forests of childhood fairytales, where one is hopelessly lost. And yet there remains a suggestion of the endless continuity and power of renewal in nature.

$199

Katie Merz

Kings County Crown, 2021

Black gesso on oil stick on yupo

24 x 20"

Value: $199

*This piece is included in the Opening Night Collection.

Artist Bio:

Merz works on a variety of surfaces, but keeps them all accessible, humorous and clear. Merz's work can range from outdoor murals to framed individual pieces to comics on notebook paper. Influenced by Brooklyn, cartoons, architecture and the kinetic structure of things. Media has influenced the constantly changing surfaces that are worked upon. Synthetic, clear, moving and simple. No hierarchies are implied. Lines and respect for their changing integrity are what her practice is.

Her recent public work creates a convergence between graffiti, coding and the simple deduction of everyday language. These urban hieroglyphics appear to be simple, but on second glance they illustrate a wildly animated library of dialogues, notes, words, architecture, math and random visual connectors. Because of their pictographic nature, they are very inclusive and can be easily read by anyone. The walls are kinetic maps. They are basic black and white blueprints of the specific sites and subjects that they depict.

Merz's process is similar to that of a journalist. She gathers information,
does research, walk, talk and engage people; then makes a dossier of words, elements and interests. She then takes this gathered information and begins to draw pictographic symbols of language. This language becomes a permanently imbedded tale that reflects the tenor of the information gathered. Her process is instantaneous and kinetic and is inextricably linked to my history of growing up on Brooklyn Streets.

Merz grew up in Brooklyn and earned her BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art. She has exhibited nationally including the Brooklyn Museum. She is a recipient of the Pollock Krasner Grant, The Oberman Center Collaborative grant, and has been a fellow at the Chinati Foundation and the Macdowell Colony. She has recently been awarded The Augustus Saint-Gaudens lifetime achievement award from The Cooper Union School of Art and is in their Alumni Hall of Fame.

Mixed media on wood

18 x 25 x 2"

Value: $1800

This piece is the genesis of a new series of paintings that borrow from the two dimensional hand sewn blocks of the quilting tradition, transforming them into three dimensional wood, paint and found object assemblages. In the early morning fog of wakefulness I scrambled to quickly scribble the idea before it ran away from me. It paired perfectly with the phrase, "yesterday we met in a dream," from Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet.

Artist Bio:

In the late 1970s, I lived in Guayaquil, Ecuador, the city where my mother was born. The contrast between my memories and experiences in Ecuador with my life in the US has been central to my practice, which uses personal narratives as a gateway to explore broader questions of place, identity and nationhood."

Karina Aguilera Skvirsky lives in New York City and works between New York and Ecuador. She is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice began in photography and grew into video and performance. In 2019, she received a grant from Creative Capital to produce How to build a wall and other ruins, a project that includes a series of hand-cut collages, a multichannel video installation and live performances. The multichannel video will premier in the upcoming Cuenca Biennial XV (2021) curated by Blanca de la Torre in Cuenca, Ecuador. Recent solo exhibitions include: Sacred Geometry at Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico and Ponce + Robles Gallery in Madrid, Spain. Other important international exhibitions include her participation in Africamericanos at Centro de la imagen in CDMX (2019) and There is always a cup of sea for man to sail, the 29th São Paulo Biennial in Brazil (2010). Skvirsky is an Associate Professor at Lafayette College.

*This piece is included in the Opening Night Collection.

Artist Bio:

Robert Seng was born and raised in Seattle and lived up and down the West Coast, before finishing his BFA (painting) at University of Washington. A MFA from Central Washington Univ. in painting followed that. He started a very successful art installation company in Seattle (Artech) to support his art career, but sold his interest and moved to New York in 1986. He worked at the Guggenheim Museum for 15 years as an art handler/installer while he continued his painting. He also taught sculpture at Fairfield University, CT 1996-2001. He moved into more 3-D work in the early 1990's, and then into site-specific installation work with his partner Lisa Hein. Together they have made more than 40 installations together (http://heinseng.com). All the while he maintained his own separate practice, and since 1997 has carved, scraped, and collaged over 900 EXIT sign drawings (http://bobseng.com). These have become viewing records of EXIT signs watching their own disintegration and transformation into what that "safe" place is beyond this ubiquitous sign. These have been shown throughout the country, but recently in Brooklyn at Centotto, at Odetta, in Chelsea NY. And most recently solo show at Long Island University, in downtown Brooklyn (2020), and various venues for Grand Flag, in Brooklyn (2021).

Value: $2500

*This piece is included in the Opening Night Collection.

Artist Bio:

I completed a BFA in Painting in 1979 from Boston University, and an MFA in Painting with Honors in 1983 from American University in Washington, DC, and then moved to New York. I rented a studio and began to exhibit my work-imaginary landscapes-in: Brooklyn '85, Brooklyn Museum, NY, 1985; and Berkshire Art Association Annual Juried Show, Berkshire Museum, MA, 1987; among other venues. I was awarded a grant from the Penny McCall Foundation in 1989; and a place in the Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) program at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, 1992-1993. During this time, I was awarded residencies at MacDowell in 1985, 1987 and later again in 1994.

I began to experiment with painting on flat canvas "shapes" and exhibited this work in Transient Decor, Roger Smith Hotel, NY, 1993; and continued to experiment with painting on 3-dimensional canvas "shapes" and exhibited this work in: Huma Bhaba, Aleya Saad, Randy Wray, Lauren Wittels Gallery, NY, 1994; and in In Three Dimensions: Women Sculptors of the '90s; Part I: Issues of Gender, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, NY, 1995, among other venues.

In the early 90s, I began to produce garments from tulle fabric. I exhibited this new work in A la Mode, Sauce Gallery, Williamsburg, 1996, featuring three "sculptures" modeled on a runway. In the mid 90s, began a short film, using an 8mm movie camera, which took the model, on a set of "errands" in full costume.

In the late 90s, I transitioned to photography and enrolled in a series of darkroom classes at ICP to learn how to develop and print my own work. In early 2012, I began a figurative series in the studio, with a model, which includes designing the costumes, set, and props. In 2014, I completed a major body of work, "Pageant Play", and self-published "Pageant Play," selected for "INFOCUS Photobooks: Juried Exhibition of Self-Published Photobooks", Phoenix Art Museum, AZ, 2014; and most recently completed a new series, "A very costly masque prepared but not shown" among others, and I am currently at work on "No More Tears, Pierrot".

Gabriel Shuldiner

Value: $1,200

*This piece will be available for the ticket price on opening night.

Artist bio:

Interested in the timeless and disparate associations assigned to black, Gabriel J. Shuldiner describes his work as 'bruteminimalism ': a concept situated somewhere between the abstract and absurd. His physically powerful, s[r]eductively delicate 'hybridsculpturalpaintings ' trigger both immediate engagement and visceral reaction, conjuring images of voids in space and postapocalyptic futures...

He sites the 'subtlety of difference, produced through repetition' and the 'implied nuanced histories of the oft-overlooked' as starting points for work that explores and disrupts 21st century painting and object-making. Gabriel J. Shuldiner deems his elusive black palette "postapocalypticblack ": a viscous custom composite, based upon the key life ingredient and oldest known earth element, carbon [c].

Applied in thick layers on a multitude of substrates, Gabriel J Shuldiner meticulously bends, scrapes and sculpts his proprietary black material, creating mysterious areas both smooth and rough that proportionately reflect, refract, distort and absorb observable levels of electromagnetic radiation.

A native New Yorker, Gabriel J. Shuldiner was born and raised in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business and Eastern Philosophy from New York University and a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Sculpture from Parsons the New School for Design. He has previously studied at the School of Visual Arts and International Center for Photography. Upon graduating from Parsons, Gabriel J. Shuldiner was selected by the Bronx Museum of the Arts AIM [artist in the marketplace] emerging artist program, and the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts studio residency program, where he spent several years.

Gabriel J Shuldiner's "bruteminimalist " work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at select galleries, museums, institutions and avant-garde boutiques. He lives and works in Manhattan's West Chelsea, where he currently maintains his studio.

Susan Scott Rowland

1940 - 2019

Susan was a trustee of the Brooklyn Arts Council and was an avid supporter of Brooklyn Arts Council's mission to promote art in Brooklyn.

Her work is in major public and private collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York Historical Society, Santa Fe's Fine Arts Museum, and New Mexico's Roswell Museum and Art Center.

Rowland channeled an irrepressible exuberance through her work as a painter, printmaker and ceramicist. Rowland worked in New York for most of four decades, creating large, abstract expressionist canvasses and, later, pottery and sculpture with rough edges and whimsical animal forms. She graduated from Vassar College. In 1961 she married Dr. George B. "Robin'' Rowland. Her husband became a public health doctor when they moved to the Navajo reservation in Arizona with their two young children. Her restless personality and creative drive did not allow her to settle for long in one place. In 1967 she moved to New York City with her children. There, she studied at the Arts Students League. In 1974 she moved west again to a rural community north of Santa Fe, NM. She had space of her own in which to paint, and a rugged landscape to serve for inspiration. She was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 1976. Three years later, she returned to New York where she met and married her second husband, Charles P. "Tony'' Sifton, a judge in the US District Court in Brooklyn. After the terrorist attacks of 2001, Rowland pulled the first new weeds growing near Ground Zero the next spring to make monoprints. "I wanted to print the first plants that showed up, the weeds, the volunteers,'' Rowland said in a column by Times garden writer Anne Raver. She was a trustee of the non-profit Brooklyn Arts Council, where donations in Susan's name may be directed.

Her work is in major public and private collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York Historical Society, Santa Fe's Fine Arts Museum, and New Mexico's Roswell Museum and Art Center.

Rowland channeled an irrepressible exuberance through her work as a painter, printmaker and ceramicist. Rowland worked in New York for most of four decades, creating large, abstract expressionist canvasses and, later, pottery and sculpture with rough edges and whimsical animal forms. She graduated from Vassar College. In 1961 she married Dr. George B. "Robin'' Rowland. Her husband became a public health doctor when they moved to the Navajo reservation in Arizona with their two young children. Her restless personality and creative drive did not allow her to settle for long in one place. In 1967 she moved to New York City with her children. There, she studied at the Arts Students League. In 1974 she moved west again to a rural community north of Santa Fe, NM. She had space of her own in which to paint, and a rugged landscape to serve for inspiration. She was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 1976. Three years later, she returned to New York where she met and married her second husband, Charles P. "Tony'' Sifton, a judge in the US District Court in Brooklyn. After the terrorist attacks of 2001, Rowland pulled the first new weeds growing near Ground Zero the next spring to make monoprints. "I wanted to print the first plants that showed up, the weeds, the volunteers,'' Rowland said in a column by Times garden writer Anne Raver. She was a trustee of the non-profit Brooklyn Arts Council, where donations in Susan's name may be directed.

Life Forms

Jane Greengold

Life Forms, 2018

Acrylic, gouache, collage on paper

30 x 22.5"

Value: $1500

A collection of painted and collaged images of animals, real and imagined, created during the Pandemic, while life felt particularly vulnerable.

*This piece will be available for the ticket price on opening night.

Artist Bio:

Jane Greengold is a visual and conceptual artist. She makes public art, both permanent and temporary; does community engagement projects, and studio work, both abstract and conceptual. Her public projects are site-specific, intended to heighten a sense of place, and are often engaged with social issues.
She has done permanent works for the MTA Arts for Transit progam at the Grand Army Plaza Station in Brooklyn and (with Kane Chang Do) the MetroNorth station in Pleasantville; the NYC Percent for Art Program at a high school in Brooklyn and a Fire/EMS Station in Queens; and temporary projects for the centennials of the Brooklyn Bridge and Grand Central Terminal, among others.
After decades of making socially engaged public art, she is now doing community engagement projects, seeking social justice through art. With the support of the Design Trust for Public Space, she is working with residents and neighbors of a New York City Housing Authority development to redesign a now unusable, fenced-in grass space at the edge of the development, to make it into an interactive space usable by both residents and others. Among her community engagement projects is an almost annual series of Halloween Impalements, installations of 100 individually carved pumpkins impaled on a sharply pointed fence, and left over time to decay, revealing the Toll of Time. In recent years (not including the pandemic year ) over 150 community members contributed pumpkins.
Her studio works include an on-going 30-year plus series of postcards celebrating every Solstice and Equinox. For the last eight years she has being doing a series of drawings, paintings, and collages inspired by the (fictional) languages of Tlön, inspired by the Jorge Luis Borges story Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.
During the Pandemic she has done a series of Corona Collages, made of torn fragments of earlier drawings, and a series of small painted and collaged squares.

Artist Bio:

Vanessa Peters is a Latina artist based out of Brooklyn, New York. Her passion for art came from learning to draw and sketch by copying the images she found in her father's old art books. Vanessa studied English and art at The City College of New York.
After a 7 year stretch of not painting, she picked up her brush again in 2013. Vanessa began recreating her own image to find the beauty in herself. To love her body as a piece of art she was creating in the hopes that it would be the way to discovering herself. Self-portraits have the ability to show the full spectrum of a personality, heartache and emotions caught in a single moment, in one look. The depiction of the Buddha in her work speaks to her own spiritual journey as a Buddhist and the growth and connection she feels in her practice.
A large portion of her pieces also include animal totems of the Red-winged Blackbird and the Octopus. Both animals used in her paintings are symbolic of different experiences or emotions felt internally but made flesh in the painting. They serve as visual talismans of one's feelings at a particular moment time.
She paints oil and acrylic figurative paintings out of her apartment in Crown Heights.

Rowland found inspiration in the resilience of nature.

Price available upon request.

Artist Bio:

Susan Scott Rowland

1940 - 2019

Susan was a trustee of the Brooklyn Arts Council and was an avid supporter of Brooklyn Arts Council's mission to promote art in Brooklyn.

Her work is in major public and private collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York Historical Society, Santa Fe's Fine Arts Museum, and New Mexico's Roswell Museum and Art Center.

Rowland channeled an irrepressible exuberance through her work as a painter, printmaker and ceramicist. Rowland worked in New York for most of four decades, creating large, abstract expressionist canvasses and, later, pottery and sculpture with rough edges and whimsical animal forms. She graduated from Vassar College. In 1961 she married Dr. George B. "Robin'' Rowland. Her husband became a public health doctor when they moved to the Navajo reservation in Arizona with their two young children. Her restless personality and creative drive did not allow her to settle for long in one place. In 1967 she moved to New York City with her children. There, she studied at the Arts Students League. In 1974 she moved west again to a rural community north of Santa Fe, NM. She had space of her own in which to paint, and a rugged landscape to serve for inspiration. She was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 1976. Three years later, she returned to New York where she met and married her second husband, Charles P. "Tony'' Sifton, a judge in the US District Court in Brooklyn. After the terrorist attacks of 2001, Rowland pulled the first new weeds growing near Ground Zero the next spring to make monoprints. "I wanted to print the first plants that showed up, the weeds, the volunteers,'' Rowland said in a column by Times garden writer Anne Raver. She was a trustee of the non-profit Brooklyn Arts Council, where donations in Susan's name may be directed.

I am an emerging nonbinary queer artist working in acrylic and watercolor paints, creating abstract expressionist paintings, and a graphic designer with over a decade of experience. I currently live and create art in Queens, NY.

My work focuses on the contrast between urban life and nature. I am inspired by concrete walls overgrown by ivy and tree branches, train underpasses covered in graffiti and grass, a strong New York summer rainstorm beating against my window, the decaying Red Hook warehouses, tiny alleys, and the way the air smells on the first few days of September. It is my aim to create paintings that bring a moment of serenity and calm to the viewer.

Artist Bio:

Yes, I was born a creative from a long line of resilient prolific & mystic storytellers. The process of art making is intuitive, instructive and most necessary for me. I am quite sure if you cut me I would bleed paint, peel me and a print would unfurl, chip away at my brain and painted prose would spill out from my core!
Born hard-wired to replicate what I see, the creative process is an intuitive one for me that is greatly informed by the mystic beauty of the natural world and my experiences with death and impermanence. In my infancy, it was the death of my mother followed by its relentless recurrence over the course of my lifetime that has driven me to seek out, replicate and create all that I can and cannot see to explore these confounding mysteries. I breath, I paint, I live in an attempt to capture what I have observed in my travels around the world, over land and sea, and find place in it. A Jamaica born, Brooklyn based artist, I use artifacts from my life experiences pulled from memory and observation, my work is layered in process: Mixed media paintings, printmaking, sculpture, paper making, Installation, photography/video essay & prose combine to create my own archetype, a universal language of images found and remembered that speaks to the diversity of my heritage, lived experiences and reverence for the mystic found in our natural world.
