DAVID YARROW / Photographer ✦ How can ART help us learn about and from each other? ✦ IMAGINE a few colleagues interacting with the photograph,
Summer of ’75, and the creative conversations it can spark. ✦ The Love and Peace summer of 1975. Road tripping, VW vans,
driving across country, Chateau Marmont, Elton John Concert… the first ever summer blockbuster, JAWS. ✦ JAWS opening weekend set a record at $7 million, and it went
on to gross a record $21,116,354 in its first 10 days. It grossed $260 million at the domestic box office with its original 1975 release. When adjusted for inflation that number stands over $1 billion. ✦ Director, Steven Spielberg and actor, Richard Dreyfus would
meet every morning and decide what to shoot for the day. JAWS was the first major movie ever filmed on an ocean. ✦ Cindy Crawford collaborates with photographer David Yarrow
and donates her portion of proceeds to the pediatric cancer hospital that treated her brother for leukemia. In 2021, David Yarrow’s collaboration with Cindy Crawford has raised over $3m for the University of Wisconsin Health Kids Cancer Care Charity in Madison, Wisconsin.
JENNIFER LASHBROOK / Paint Chip Artist
Son of Man | 48 x 36 in. Price $5,200
Queen Of Hearts | 48 x 36 in. Price $5,200
Jennifer Lashbrook is a Dallas-based artist. Lashbrook has become known for her “Paint Chip Art.” This method of collage involves individually cut pieces of paint swatch paper arranged to create a stunning pixelated work of art. From a distance, the colors blend to create a photo-realistic quality of work, with the individual ‘pixels’ becoming more distinguishable the closer one views the piece. Lashbrook is a modern impressionist, and her swatch paintings are the brushstrokes of the digital age. Her work shows a comical reference to the commercial, the digital and the reproducible. Theme: Playful, creative, vision, repurpose, recycle, sustainability
NELSON DE LA NUEZ / The King of Pop
Stars and Strip Flag mixed media on paper, 40 x 49 in Price $8,150 Nelson De La Nuez is a Pop Artist whose striking, vivid mixed media artwork borrows motifs and messages from the language of wealth, power, fame, excess, taste, and access to cast a narrative about modern society. He is an innate iconoclast, elevating themes from commerce, pop culture, advertising, and branding to provide commentary on our culture – showing us that the entire world is for sale –in a manner that is both ironic and aspirational. Included in the “Whoʼs Who List of the Most Collected Artists of Our Time,” De La Nuez was born in Cuba and moved as a child to California, where he was initially introduced to many of the iconic images that he uses in his art to this day. His ability to experience these important cultural touchpoints at such a young age with a purely fresh perspective allows him a distinctive point of view – one that is both critical and embracing, sardonic and sentimental – that lends his work an air of accessibility and curiosity, and has led to his significant popularity.

RUSSELL YOUNG / Contemporary Artist
Jagger - Fame Series (pink + cash red) Acrylic paint & enamel screen print with diamond dust on linen 62 x 48 in. Price $24,000 Russell Young, born in 1959 in Yorkshire, is a British-American artist, who grew up in foster care, best known for his large-scale silk screen paintings examining cultural icons, the nature of fame, and the souring of the American Dream. Young photographed many music stars throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including Morrissey, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, REM, The Smiths, Bauhaus, Diana Ross, Paul Newman, Björk, and many others. He went on to shoot over 100 music videos for leading artists during MTV’s height in the 1990s, which brought him to the United States. Young eventually moved to California, where he began his current practice with his sold-out show Pig Portraits in Los Angeles in 2003. The many series that have followed demonstrate his visceral analog processes and signature use of diamond dust. Themes: Longevity, fame, work ethic, legacy, business, fatherhood, rock and roll lifestyle
DYLAN MARTINEZ / Glass Artist
Goldfish Water Bag Glass sculpture 12.75” x 7” x 4.25” Edition: 131 of 300 Price $3,550
Dylan Martinez’s artwork explores the boundaries of human perception through the manipulation of light, space, and the physical properties of glass. Martinez’s latest body of work explores techniques in which the viewer is presented with objects which trick the eye, trompe l’oeil. The reflective and refractive properties of glass in their configurations fracture light in dynamic styles, allowing the viewer a moment of playful exploration with the work.
JOSH MAYHEM/ Sculptor
Blown Away Balloon Dog - Blueberry Chrome Acrylic, metal, clay, and resin on Jeff Koons inspired resin figure 10 x 12 x 6 in Price $ 3,850 Los Angeles based artist Josh Mayhem gained recognition with his Blown Away aesthetic, transforming designer toys and iconic pop art figures into high-end contemporary gallery sculptures that transport the viewer to a refreshing world of wonder and curiosity. He started by simply customizing small scale designer toys but quickly evolved to create unique, one-of-a-kind sculptures with his colorful signature windswept style that portrays the illusion of motion and chaos. Mayhem’s work has been featured in museums, major art fairs and gallery exhibitions and he has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the designer toy industry. His success can be attributed to his ability to combine popular pop art culture with high-end contemporary art, resulting in unique and captivating sculptures that push the boundaries of style and derivative art.
