About the Item
'Alchemy II' is a figurative contemporary drawing on paper, produced by artist Katherine Filice. Drawing from other works from the series, a figure is held in an elongated pose, as it remains suspended in the center composition. Delicately maintained by supporting lines, the main figure is decorated in the line quality and hatching that remains signature in all of Filice's works. Line weight and patterned areas articulate the spatial details of the positive space of the composition.
From the artist:
“This mix of graphite and ink line-making, of old and new joining together was incredibly restorative for me to create. It’s soft and quiet. It is created very peacefully in my studio with Beethoven playing in the background. A homage to the history of many of the pieces.
And then: the quietness takes on a tension as I risk the graphite drawing with the ink lines—letting go, knowing there is a power greater than myself at hand. Mixing the soft, ephemeral graphite with the precision of a technical Rapidograph pen. " - Katherine Filice

- Pondering being Naked - Sexy Girl taking off Bikini - Female CartoonistLocated in Miami, FLThis work clearly has homosexual overtones which in the mid-'40s was as daring as showing nudity. I am not sure if this was the artist's intention but the salesgirl and the model look identical and she signs it twice Shermond. Added to this is a strobe light effect where the model's image is partly replicated giving the impression of 2 figures. She's lost in thought pondering the notion of removing the bows and seeing the consequences. Meanwhile, the sales girls ( perhaps her alta ego - perhaps an admirer ) eggs her on. Caption: "You can always remove the bows if you think they're too fussy." Cover cartoon for unknown publication - Signed "Shermund" twice in the lower right image, dated on verso, and captioned in graphite in the lower margin.

- Ross Bleckner Group of 3 Double Sided Figure Drawings (attrb.)By Ross BlecknerLocated in Larchmont, NYAttributed to: Ross Bleckner (American, b. 1949) Group of 3 Double Sided Drawings Watercolor and graphite on paper Largest: 24 x 18 in. Smallest: 23 1/4 x 18 in. Ross Bleckner grew up in Hewlett, Long Island, New York; drawing all the time without being aware that other artists existed. He was the middle child between two sisters; his father manufactures electronic parts He attended New York University where Sol Lewitt, Chuck Close and others were his teachers. He graduated in 1972, then spent a year at the California Institute of Arts. His contacts in the next few years were very fortuitous; Sol Lewitt and Chuck Close, Carl Andre, David Salle, Julian Schnabel, etc. Bleckner is on the nervous side, beset by self-doubt, insomnia, and gloom. He is unpretentious, although he is bluntly handsome, with olive complexion, and a compact build. He is "10 percent that is superficial and 90 percent that has to do with the depths and that is threatened by living. He is a very complicated individual. He is a very, very morose, deeply feeling, hardworking artist- he takes a lot from within himself - but always, no matter how successful he is, he feels he is going to fall into those depths." 1 Bleckner first exhibited his work in New York in 1974. The following year he was given his first one-man show; he was included in the 1975 Whitney Biennial.. Since about 1985 has addressed many of his paintings to the subject of AIDS- both documenting it as a historical phenomenon and commemorating specific individuals who have died. Written and submitted by Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher from Laguna Woods, California. Bio sourced from the Archives of askArt.
