John Altoon (1925-1969) was an artist and commercial illustrator known for loose drawings of botanicals and natural form. His work crosses a hybrid between abstract and figurative, influenced by Abstract Impressionism. Altoon used color and line movement to connect sociopolitical messages with the viewer’s eye. A prominent member of the Ferus Gallery’s group of artists and Wallace Berman’s Semina circle, Altoon was influenced of artists like Pablo Picasso in creating raw, satirical pieces of work. Born in Los Angeles, John Altoon attended the Otis Art Institute, the Art Center College of Design, and the Chouinard Art Institute. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

- Untitled #2 - Emmanuelle Messika, 21st Century, Abstract drawingBy Emmanuelle MessikaLocated in Paris, FRColoured inks and pastel on paper Signed Gestural abstraction Outsider art Artist’s statement : "Painting, for me, is an expressive endeavor in which one depicts the evolution of the various facets of the artistic self. There is, on each canvas, a tension where violence and stillness naturally coexist. By playing with different materials, I seek to establish a sort of unexpected dialogue between these states, and aspire to express this tension through profusion of color. The canvas is the stage that allows me to unite narration with the action of painting the fantastic—even the outrageous---and the everyday. I develop scenarios borrowed from the imagination, which join fantasy, even fables, with the everyday. Pulling threads from each domain, I bring together the mythical and the quotidian, so that the worlds of reality and fantasy merge. I rely on “creatures,” improbable little characters that could exist in some other realm or dimension. They materialize, issuing forth from the surprising, unbelievable and wondrous world of childhood. Human or animal, both find themselves entangled in inextricable and melancholic situations. These inextricable situations create distance; the humor comes through this breach. It is the absurdity of their predicaments that manifests the humor in the work. In each of my paintings, the sentiments are heightened by an intentional, provocative tone that transforms the work. An Otherness is attributed to objects; objects become personified, and by their very presence, they become witnesses or guinea pigs torn between and bound to their dilemma. The titles of my paintings, whether invented or quotations taken out of context, come from literature, theater, or song lyrics. Accident and chance are often major actors in my work.” Emmanuelle Messika BIOGRAPHY : Emmanuelle Messika was born in France in 1979. She works and lives in Paris.
