Emily Trueblood, "Greenpoint Water Tower", 2019

Print size 10" x 8"

Framed 16" x 14"

Woodcut print, ed. 5/10

Emily Trueblood currently lives in New York and is regarded for her work largely focusing on New York City architecture combined with nature. "I look for city and nature views that appeal to me then change & simplify the composition until I feel that I can express it as a woodcut or linocut... In city views, I like the contrast of round water towers next to straight buildings. I am interested in creating a mood or the feeling of certain weather with the colors I use."

Trueblood has won many awards and her prints have been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America. Trueblood has work in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress, Washington, DC; New York Public Library, NY; The British Museum, UK; New-York Historical Society, NY; among others.

James Akers, "Tangle Jam Necklace", 2019.

Flameworked and silvered glass, audio cable.

8 inches x 6 inches x 5 inches

ed. 1/8

Note: Silver coating is on age 3 of about a 12 year lifespan. Can be recoated.

Description:

Seeking to create a tiny, shiny, doodle that the viewers closely interact with, I created these Tangle Jams as colorful audio necklaces in 2019. I made them as necklaces for adventurous, playful, and bold people but they can also double as mono audio cables. Available in all colors of the rainbow, their clasp is the familiar audio jack connection as the wire wraps through my improvisational bent tumbleweed of glass tubing. The tubing is coated in silver from the interior to give them their Ritzy sparkle. Exude sparkle and pizzaz by wearing a Tangle Jam necklace!

About the Artist:

"My name is James Akers, and I am an artist currently based in Brooklyn, New York where with my partner, Ali Feeney, we run a neon fabrication company called Nebula Neon. I grew up skateboarding, playing guitar and hacking video games in Maryland before I received a BFA from Alfred University in 2015. I have travelled much more and and my work has been shown in museums, galleries, fairs and houses around the world since then. In my studio practice, I create dense, frenetically active sculptures that often incorporate neon and sound circuits. For me, neon provides the eye grabbing glow of a screen in a three dimensional, shapeable, sculptural, linear glow.
Artistically, I'm interested in themes of celebration and excess, digital surveillance and influence, consumerism, bliss and rebellious subversion. I love messes and I usually employ the "show your work" philosophy when designing and assembling my work."

Paul Yee, "PS 34 Celebrates the 1952 Helsinki Olympics", 2023.

Color instant photographs mounted on Canvas.

12" x 12"

Framed dimensions: 12.8" x 12.8"

ed. 1/2

Description:

In the summer of 1952, PS 34 celebrated the Olympic Games by mounting the iconic Olympic rings high up on one of the towering brick walls in the playground.
It's not known if the intention was to leave them, but the rings were not removed, and over the course of several decades, four of them have dislodged
and fallen to the ground. One single yellow ring remains as a tribute to the Games of the XV Olympiad, and to this day, the students at PS34 run the track and pretend
to be Horace Aschenfelter winning gold in the 3000 meter steeplechase or Daphne Hasenjager winning silver for the 100 meter dash, et al.

The photo series captures 4 unique vantage points of the PS34 playground on a format that is irreproducible. The one-of-a-kind photos are mounted on green painted
canvas.

His penchant for vérité camerawork and natural light has led him to collaborate on many documentaries- including Season 2 of Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas (HBO), Cameron Yates' Chef Flynn (Sundance, Berlin 2018) and Emily Sheskin's Jesszilla (Big Sky 2023), a project that spanned 5 years of the life of boxing phenom Jesselyn Silva.

Adam Green, "Saxophonist", 2017.

Oil crayon on pink handmade paper.

12" x 9"

Description:

In my drawings, I use an alphabet of symbols-most of which I've gleaned by deconstructing cartoon characters. The drawings are often biomorphic-themed, and made in an unhinged, expressionist style. By using coded symbols as the building blocks for world-building, I try to create multiple layers of information so, to me, the creatures in my drawings are 'landscapescapes'.

A co-founder of The Moldy Peaches and author of ten solo-albums, his songs have been performed by artists as diverse as The Libertines, Carla Bruni, Kelly Willis, Dean & Britta, and Will Oldham.

He wrote and directed the feature film The Wrong Ferarri (2010), the first feature film shot entirely on an iPhone, and Adam Green's Aladdin (2016) which Buzzfeed.com described as "the trippiest movie ever made." Most recently, Green has authored a series of graphic novels and poetry books. He is currently writing the screenplay to The Wrong Ferarri 2.

Russell Parrish, "Ostrich On Duty", 2021.

Ink on paper.

15" x 11"

Framed dimensions: 16" x 11"

Throughout history people indulge in the tradition of bestowing symbolic and mythical qualities on animals. From animal deities to depictions as pets and guides.

This work underscores the use of animals as allegory. These spirit animals emphasize the reverence as well as its isolation from the physical world formal representations with unexpected revelations.

Oil on spectrographic mylar.

2.5" x 1.5"

Framed 9.5" x 10" x 1"

Description:

Scale is fundamental to the piece's impact physically as well as conceptually.This portrait is from a Velasquez portrait that Edouard Manet saw in the early 1850's which inspired him to make a series of works that directly impacted the Impressionist painters of his time.

He has participated in numerous museum and gallery exhibitions in Tokyo, Munich, San Francisco, New York, and Moscow and received grants and awards including NYFA, ARCUS studio residency in Japan, LMCC World Trade Center studio residency, Pollock-Krasner, and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation Studio residency.
