About the Item

This abstract collage portrait features hues of yellow, purple, pink and orange. This work is 23.25 by 16.5 inches unframed and 28 by 21 inches framed in a thin black frame. Colombian-born, Atlanta-based artist Esteban Patino creates paintings, collages, and sculptures that explore the multitudes of language creation and perception. Over a decade ago, Esteban created a collection of forms which represented a new language, a sort of universal symbology. These forms have evolved into a toolset used to create abstractions, not as a language itself, but a representation of language, exploring how humans create meaning by instinct and repetition. Featured in his upcoming show Riddle is a large-scale painting inspired by the kids joke about newspapers - “What is black and white and red (read) all over?” The painting references what our mind’s eye sees when we hear homophones such as red and read. Also, Riddle includes a selection of collages made during Esteban’s recent residency in Berlin. The collages are portraits that are made from Berlin’s street posters and advertisements that are replaced every week. Esteban’s collages are an archeological mash-up of the vibration and rhythm of the city. “I feel my ‘new language’ pieces directly relate to these collage characters who are made from the language of the streets,” says Esteban. Esteban studied at the Instituto de Bellas Artes and Universidad Nacional in Medellín, Colombia. His work is in the collections of the High Museum of Art, Fulton County Arts and Culture Center, Microsoft Corporate Collection, among others.

  • The Beginning, 2021, cast paper, framed sculpture, black, Chinese text
    By Cheung Yee (Zhang Yi)
    Located in Santa Fe, NM
    Cheung Yee, Cast Paper painting, wall sculpture, black, edition CHEUNG YEE (1936–2019) The Chinese artist Cheung Yee, a pioneer of the contemporary art scene in Hong Kong, died in Los Angeles on December 4 at the age of eighty-three. The Hong Kong Museum of Art confirmed his passing. Best known for his paper castings; bronze relief; and wooden, stone, and bronze sculptures, which mixed Western modernism, traditional Chinese aesthetics, and elements of folklore and ancient philosophies, Cheung cofounded the avant-garde Circle Art Group with Hon Chi Fun, Wucius Wong, and several other peers. The group was active from 1964 to 1971. Born in Guangzhou, China, in 1936, Cheung was raised in Hong Kong but was forced to leave the region when the Japanese invaded China during the Second Sino-Japanese War; his family relocated to Guangzhou. When the conflict ended, Cheung returned to the region and began learning Gongbi, a realist brush technique in Chinese painting. In the 1950s, he studied art at Taiwan Normal University in Taipei, where he met his wife. Throughout his schooling, Cheung pursued his interests in archaeology and began experimenting with different materials and with approaches to copperplate etching, welding, and modeling. In 1964, Cheung’s first major retrospective was organized by the City Museum and Art Gallery at Hong Kong City Hall. The following year, he received a grant from the Institute of International Education to study in the United States and Europe. Since then, he has had solo exhibitions at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, AO Vertical Art...

  • CHEF'S HAT - Intricate Collage Wall Hanging Sculpture w/ Thick Painted Paper
    Located in Signal Mountain, TN
    "I welcome the continual emergence of change, evolution, and the inevitable challenges that form a large part of a working artist’s life." With CHEF'S HAT, a recent and evolving work, I am moving into more dimensionality and space. My intention is to push patterned and embellished surfaces on paper from its naturally flat surface into a more structural and spatial plane. This involves making sculptural pieces from paper and experimenting with new construction methods using strips and lengths of paper over-lapped and fastened together, shaped into objects with physical presence. I feel I am migrating from the flat surface into the third dimension. I envision the paper constructions as a landscape to be wandered in and out of, through and around, a space that invites all and sundry to enter on their own terms. I hold firmly to the belief that my work exhibits a playfulness that belies a more serious assessment of our social world. I am interested in how something that is initially perceived as frivolous and celebratory can constitute a reaction against and resistance to the shadowy world of misfortune, hard luck, and weariness. Born in 1959, Lanie Gannon was predominantly inspired by the 1970s. Conceptualism is often perceived as a reaction to Minimalism, and the leading art movement of the 1970s, challenging the boundaries of art with its revolutionary features. The movements that succeeded were all representative of a strong desire to evolve and strengthen the art world, in response to the tensions of the previous 1960s. Process art branched...
