Jammie Holmes
Jammie Holmes’s brushy, expressive figuration captures the texture and minutiae of Black life in the Deep South. The self-taught artist, who was born in Thibodeaux, Louisiana, and now works in Dallas, includes richly textured backgrounds, strikingly simple figures, and enigmatic patches of writing on his canvases; the resulting paintings straddle realistic representation and a pared-down, symbolic mode. Holmes has exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Detroit, and Rome, and his work has sold for six figures on the secondary market. In May 2020, Holmes garnered particular attention when he commissioned planes to fly over major U.S. cities with banners emblazoned with George Floyd’s last words. Holmes names Gordon Parks as an inspiration: Like his predecessor, Holmes makes raw, unflinching portraiture that captures both the daily exuberance and enduring traumas that mark Black life in America.

- "Land and Lake" Painting 47" x 51" inch by Ahmed GaafaryBy Ahmed GaafaryLocated in Culver City, CA"Land and Lake" Painting 47" x 51" inch by Ahmed Gaafary Nabokov’s Signs Ahmed Gaafary takes Vladimir Nabokov’s phenomenal short story “On Signs and Symbols” as an instigator to series of large and medium scale paintings. The fictitious characters in Nabokov’s narrative who act mysteriously around the banal pseudo conflict that faces an urban family –that could be any of us—is transcribed and encrypted by Gaafary on canvas, where lines define accurately shapes and forms that are in themselves flexible and not geometrical. Areas of almost solid colors represent in a diversity of tones and hues the psychological changes that happen to Nabokov’s protagonists in a very well defined space and time. Gaafary’s signs and symbols on another layer resembles mystic ciphers and codes, much reminiscent of Jean Baudrillard’s post-structuralist essays about the subject, in particular his texts addressing mediation, mass communication and the logic of contemporary symbolic exchange inspired and influenced by anthropologist Marcel Mauss and the Canadian philosopher of communication Marshall McLuhan’s work about the nature of social relations determined by the forms of communication that any given society adopts. Ahmed Gaafary navigates his viewers through realms of personal symbols and signs of a personal narrative. Born In Cairo 1987 Where He Currently Lives And Works. He Received His Bachelor’s Degree In Information Systems In 2008 From The Higher Institute Of Advanced Studies And Followed The Evening Classes (Painting Department)Of Fine Arts Faculty, Helwan University From 2005 To 2007.
