1010 Germany + Poland
FLUSS | 54 x 39 inches | spray paint and laser cut plexiglass on metal sheeting
1010 is a Polish artist who lives and works in Hamburg, Germany. Although he has been creating murals for some time, 1010 has recently gained worldwide attention for his perception-bending illusionary murals and work of fine art that combine spray paint with intricately cut metal or paper. These VOIDS that range in size from a poster to the size of a building create the powerful illusion of sinking back into space, calling to mind portals to other dimensions and the simple fact that we are not entirely in control of our perceptions. It is on closer inspection that you are given the answer to the trick and gain even more appreciation for the artist’s craft. He goes by the name 1010 (ten ten) as an illusion to one’s and zero’s (binary code), a name that was given to him as an early street artist using the tag 1010. He now has commissioned murals and solo-exhibitions in galleries and public spaces all over the world.

ANDREA WELTON Irvine, CA
PARTED SKY | ink, acrylic, and pumice on canvas | 48 x 60 inches | $7,000
Andrea Welton is a painter in constant communication with the natural world. Her creative process begins in nature, hiking, camping, taking long drives, during which she is collecting visual and tactile material. These pieces of experience within the actual landscape are then interpreted and transformed through the artist’s mind and hand into lush abstracts that reference landscape from many vantage points. The affects of her mark making are wide in scope, like a photograph of the earth taken from a satellite. Welton lives and works in Orange County, CA. Since moving from San Diego she has received her BFA from Art Center College of Design and is currently projected to graduate with an MFA from UC Irvine in 2019.

BRIT DIAMOND Los Angeles, CA
BERLIN DRAWING 72
Born in 1992 in Southern California, Brittney Ray Diamond grew up exploring and riding horses in the surrounding deserts of Los Angeles. In December 2017, she received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Diamond’s recent work investigates the relationships between representation and ambiguity through a variety of different mediums. Diamond utilizes formal elements such as line, shape, and color to create compositions of abstracted moments alluding to the anxieties of living in a highly popularized, sexualized and online socialized culture. The result is a sophisticated expression of joy designed to inspire a child-like wonder of color, shape and texture. Primarily a painter, she explores these ideas in mainly abstract compositions, working with a variety of materials including found objects, collage, and fabric.

CATHERINE KALEEL Los Angeles, CA
MEMOREX CASSETTE DMX | 9 x 12 inches | oil on wood panel | $850
Catherine Kaleel paints with nostalgia, a potent medium that tugs at the heart and makes the viewer yearn for the kind of simple joy that her subject matter inspires. By focusing purely on the object, she implies activity and longing. The realism in which she paints is broken in areas of pure gesture purposefully reminding the viewer that these tokens of childlike wonder must stay in the past, recalled only in memory and on canvas. Kaleel is a recent student at the Laguna College of Art and Design and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. She has been featured in the pages of Coast Magazine, and participates in exhibitions and auctions in galleries and museum through Southern California.

COLIN FLECK Los Angeles, CA | Arkansas
SPIRIT GUIDE DRAWINGS | 11 x 8.5 inches | colored pencil on paper | $850 each
Colin Fleck was born in San Diego, California in 1989 moving shortly after to Arkansas, a place that has had a profound impact on his work.

He also lived and worked in Dublin, Ireland for a period of time. Fleck’s work is figurative leaning into the realms of gestural abstraction. Pulling from his past studies and interests in philosophy, anthropology, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world, his work speaks to a connection to the earth and a deep sense of the spiritual. Fleck works across a variety of different mediums including drawing, painting and ceramic. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles California.

EZRA CHEN Taiwan | Los Angeles, CA
AN EARNEST RECLAMATION OF WILDNESS | 24 x 18.75 inches | oil on birch, framed | $1,500
Ezra Chen works at the intersection of nature and human nature, splicing together countless references, cultural and biological, into deep, tapestried compositions. The wells from which he draws from are seemingly endless. Ethereal but also humble, Chen’s work is inspired by time with family and friends in nature, relationships playing a central role. Chen does not shy away from the awkward beauty of intimacy, choosing to dive directly into the center of nuance, making a very big and beautiful deal out of the details. Ezra Chen is a recent graduate with distinction from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He also completed a BA in Economics + English from University of California, Irvine.

GLYNNIS REED Los Angeles, CA | New Jersey
JUSTICE | 16 x 24 inches | photo-collage printed on aluminum | $1,100
Born in Los Angeles, California, she currently lives and works in Southern New Jersey. Her work has moved progressively from a search into the urban landscape to the spaces where city meets nature at public parks. She continues her explorations of wild natural environments which serve as settings for figurative compositions and lyrical portraits. Ms. Reed’s work explores identity and place and the complexities of one’s relationship with the self and with others. She often engages narratives of love and loss, shadow and light. Reed has participated in numerous auctions and exhibitions throughout the United States and has contributed her work to both private and public collections. She is a professor of photography in New Jersey where she lives and works.

GREG PRICE Santa Ana, CA
AUDACITY | 26 x 4 x 25 inches | shaped glass | $15,000
Born in Orange, California in 1983, Greg Price graduated from the University of Hawaii with a BA in Art in 2007. He then went on to receive his MFA in sculpture from Tulane University in New Orleans in 2012. Price is interested in the physical and mental challenges inherent in working with glass. Collaborating with time, gravity and a small team, the steps to creating a single sculpture involve as much failure as success, something the artist whole-heartedly embraces as part of the process. Price uses a tremendous amount of glass in his work, setting the parameters and allowing the raw material to slowly fall in such a way that is both in and out of his control. Gregory lives and works in Santa Ana, CA at the Logan Creative Arts Complex.

HÉLĂˆNE DELMAIRE France
Right page | IKEBANA | 39.5 x 39.5 inches | oil on wood| $6,000 Working out of her studio in Lille, a city in Northern France on the border with Belgium, Helene Delmaire is a painter focused on both traditional techniques, having studied painting at the prestigious Angel Academy of Art in Florence Italy, and pushing boundaries in content and composition. Delmaire has shown throughout Europe including Russian, England, Italy, and France with a small number of exhibitions within the United States. In 2012, Delmaire was the finalist for the East West Art Award in Pall Mall, London. She exhibits her paintings internationally with annual solo-exhibitions in Paris, New York and Los Angeles.
JOE LLOYD Long Beach, CA
RIDGE | 38 x 66 inches | acrylic on canvas| $7,000
Long Beach-based painter Joe Lloyd uses his strong sense of color and interest in landscape and architectural design to inform an ever-evolving collection of gorgeously structured geometric abstracts. Once a self-identified compositional planner, Lloyd allows himself moments of pure experimentation, each finished work inevitably inspiring the one to follow. The result is an image that comes with a sense of identity, connected and yet also set apart from his other works. Every square inch contains layers of color and depth that cannot be viewed except in person. The underlying structure, however, is universal, creating a double life for his paintings. Joe Lloyd received his BA from Northwest Nazarene University and his MFA from Claremont Graduate University. His paintings have been reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, Angeleno, and Artpulse. Recently his work was acquired by the Frederick R. Wiseman Art Foundation.
PEAKS | 48 x 48 inches | acrylic on canvas | $6,500
LINDSEY WARREN Los Angeles, CA
POPPIES | oil on Canvas | 22 x 18 inches | $2,600 Lindsey Warren’s paintings are a feat of material vs. vision, oil on canvas, usually a fluid medium, taken to an aesthetically graphic level of perfection. The perfection is warmed by the organic nature of her subject matter: sunsets, flower fields, parks and slopping fields. Above all it is the gorgeous almost scientific tonal accuracy of her colors. She earned an MFA in Painting from Boston University in 2008 and recently moved back from NYC to LA where she now has a studio in Lincoln Heights. Lindsey’s paintings have been exhibited across the United States with recent shows in New York City, Boston, MA and Los Angeles. Her public works and murals have been installed in Boston, MA with another largescale mural project recently completed in the Bronx.

MICHAEL HARNISH Fullerton, CA
MID-CENTURY CHAIRS | oil on Canvas | 48 x 36 inches | $4,000 each Michael Harnish’s paintings show a conscious departure from traditional methods of painting in favor of a bold, deconstructive approach to mark making. Currently, Harnish is working with collage, moving back and forth between paper and canvas, exploring the tension between inorganic and organic elements. The breakdown of tradition and the construction of new traditions through practice and discipline is something he has continuously sought from his early days as a graffiti artist to his current studio practice. Michael Harnish earned his bachelor and master degrees in painting from the Laguna College of Art and Design, finishing his education in 2010. Michael has been granted several soloexhibitions as well as contributed to museum auctions in the Los Angeles area. His work is included in private and public collections all over the world.

SALLY DENG Los Angeles, CA
REACH | 18 x 23 inches | acrylic on wood panel | $850 Sally Deng grew up in a dual existence between living for months in China and traveling back to Los Angeles where her family owned a diner in downtown Los Angeles. This presence of opposites coming together is a recurring theme in Deng’s work, thoughtful environments in which she is able to harmonize between polarized elements. There is also a deep sense of community and hope in the scenes she creates. Tiny beautiful people from all conceivable backgrounds working together, caught up in a lens of serenity. Realizing that just about anything can be an art tool, she mixes various media including digital into dynamic collages. In early 2016 she completed her BFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
REBECCA | 26 x 36 inches | acrylic paint and color pencil | $1700
SARAH WALSH Geneva, Switzerland | Los Angeles, CA
ECHO PARK | 15 x 30 inches | oil on canvas| $2,500 Sarah Walsh paints outdoor spaces through various processes both in and out of her studio. Inspired by process, Walsh travels as much as she can, collecting photographs with a refurbished land camera and creating colorful watercolor studies that she then uses as reference for larger paintings. Always seeking to express the vast contemplative space between human and non-human experiences, her gestural environments speak to a distant future for the Earth, one that has moved beyond the concrete and congestion that she participates in on a daily basis as a resident of Los Angeles. Her work has been included in several solo-exhibitions as well as notable group shows throughout LA and the surrounding area. Right page | PSALM #2 | 63 x 56 inches | oil on canvas| $6,000
SHAYNE MURPHY Houston, TX
CADMIUM CRUSH II | 30 x 24 inches | oil, graphite and pigment on panel | $3,500
Shayne Murphy envelops his figures in crisp, kimono-like folds that give the work the formality of ritual. It is in fact ritual that lies at the heart of Murphy’s compositions. As a trained graphic designer, the process of creating balance within his work is a careful dance of additions and subtractions. How Murphy uses the negative space becomes just as important as the primary subject matter. Shape becomes a living, breathing entity in these works. A finely rendered portrait of a black bag floating in space will give the hint of a human presence and with it an implied darkness that is never fully explained. Shayne Murphy earned a MFA in Drawing and Painting from the University of North Texas. In 2014, Murphy completed the year-long Artist Studio Program residency at Lawndale Art Center in Houston. His work can be found in notable collections, including Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport. Right Page | RUPTURE | 48 x 48 inches | charcoal and gouache on paper| $5,000
VICTORIA MACMILLAN Huntington Beach, CA
LINCOLN AND OLYMPIC | 24 x 36 inches | acrylic on canvas | $1,300
Victoria MacMillan celebrates through her work a beautiful world, filled with the saturated streams of concrete and grit that glows like a wildflower in the sun. Potentially driven by a deep nostalgia for an earlier California before her time, MacMillan asks nature to return to the areas from which it has permanently receded. She does so with warm and an honesty in her mark-making that avoids statement and leaves sentiment. MacMillan received her BFA in Studio Art from Biola University in 2010 and has since been making a name for herself with exhibitions and contributions to museum auctions and notable collections throughout Southern California.
