About the Item

Artist: Nikki Maloof Title: Dismemberment Size: 24 x 20 Inches Medium: Archival Pigment Print Edition: 3/25 Year: 2021 Notes: Hand Signed and Numbered by the Artist in Pencil. Custom Framed to fit in a Flat White Frame. In Nikki Maloof’s portraits of subtly anthropomorphized bats, tigers, birds, and moths—and in her still lifes featuring cooked duck, wide-eyed sardines, and other would-be meals—animals project human emotions and anxieties. While a colorful, tropical setting suffuses many of her paintings, creating a warm palette and feeling for her emotional avatars, Maloof’s figures often appear wary, confused, or sinister. Her compositions have drawn on historical sources including Dutch vanitas paintings, and newspapers and their ominous headlines appear throughout the artist’s oeuvre; Maloof juxtaposes the solemn and the absurd, and the animal and human worlds, with wry humor. She completed her BFA at Indiana University before obtaining her MFA in painting and printmaking from the Yale School of Art in 2011. Since then, she has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Milan, and Copenhagen, among other cities. Exhibited: Nino Meir & Jack Hanley Gallery

  • Fingers and Holes (Black and White)
    By Bruce Nauman
    Located in Hollywood, FL
    Artist: Bruce Nauman Title: Fingers and Holes (Black and White) Size: 30 x 40 Inches Medium: Lithograph and Screenprint Edition: Edition of 50. AP #7/10 Year: 1994 Notes: Hand Signed, Dated and Numbered by the Artist in Pencil. Printed by Gemini Gel #36.34. From the collection of Brook Alexander Gallery, NYC. Fingers and Holes, a captivating artistic exploration initiated by Bruce Nauman (American, born 1941), originated from a unique challenge he set for himself. Using his non-dominant hand, he drew his right hand, and vice versa, meticulously annotating each sketch with the count of holes formed between the fingers. This seemingly simple endeavor evolved into a profound study of algebraic topology, a mathematical field investigating fundamental properties of distorted objects, such as solids and voids. Nauman ingeniously translated his anatomical sketches into this abstract language. In this realm of mathematical inquiry, seemingly dissimilar objects transform into one another. A coffee cup and a doughnut, for instance, are considered equivalents due to their shared characteristic of having an unbroken surface surrounding a single "hole," a concept known as homeomorphisms. Nauman's deep dive into topology revealed connections between disparate elements, encapsulated in his statement, “Things that don’t look alike morphose one into another.” However, Fingers and Holes goes beyond mathematical intricacies. It delves into the realm of transformation—topological, visual, and linguistic. The iconic "three fingers, one hole" gesture, a symbol of sexual intercourse in what Nauman referred to as "kids’ sign language," served as a pivotal motif. This gesture reappeared in various forms within the series, including daisy chain formations and overlays on clowns' handshakes, which Nauman identified through his exploration. The clowns in Nauman’s work epitomize ambiguity, embodying a spectrum from humor to threat. Their double handshakes, simultaneously obsequious and aggressive, mirror the complexities of human interactions. Nauman found inspiration in this ambiguity, appreciating the clowns for their enigmatic nature. By integrating the "three fingers, one hole" motif into the handshake of his clown prints...

    Burnt Place 03 - After the fire swept through, the forest was left scorched and barren. The ground is still warm and the unstirring air is thick with the scent of charred wood. Scorched, lifeless pines stand solemn and mournful in the shadows of the Burnt Place. About the Twilight's Path project: "We spend our lives surrounded by the security of possessions, relationships and roles, but our futures hold nothing so substantial; one day we must all enter into true not- knowing - into a dark, unconscious place."
