About the Item
The fourth work in the series "The Unveiling," Katherine Filice's 'Unveiling IV' is a continuation of the artists' sensibility in the production of classical form. However, while the other works in the series describe a combination of academic traditional subject matter - with, of course, the inclusion of the artists' signature hatching/line quality, this work goes a step further. It sits deeper into the visual language of the surrealists. As the figure, resting incomplete in the fashion of classical sculpture, transforms into a chess piece as the signature hatching, as seen in other works in this series, mold the form one state of being into the next.
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 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.
Some of these drawings are based on Bargue (1826-1883) lesson plates and some of the modern-day references.”

Katherine Filice
Katherine Filice allows you to pull out of her works what you see and does not layer any expectations on her viewers. Filice's works are all deeply personal works, ones she pours hundreds of hours into. She is an internationally awarded and collected artist, participating in art fairs in Hong Kong, Belgium, New York and LA. Her most recent fair was “ArtCan,” where she exhibited a six-foot tall layered work, whose studies on for sale. Filice is best known for her unique approach to meditative line making. Using primarily a fine-point Rapidograph technical pen, she explores the human experience with a provocative and unexpected dialogue. Filice pushes the technical possibilities of a simple curved line while asking us to think more deeply and share more openly as she exposes not only the creative zeitgeist of her inner world but our collective spiritual awakening. Filice's background features traditional fine art education in conjunction with a long career as a creative director, graphic artist and designer. She has received over 100 national and international awards, personally and with her team, for commercial work in design, painting, writing and photography. Additionally, Filice holds a BS degree in organizational leadership from the University of San Francisco and is an Alpha Sigma Nu Honor Society lifetime member. Her education and work experience have driven much of her exploration of human relationships. After decades of quietly creating, Filice's contemporary art career exploded when she was selected to exhibit at the prestigious ArtRooms London exhibition in 2018. Shortly thereafter, her highly provocative series “The Secrets We Keep” was featured in a two-month solo exhibit at the Gilroy Center for the Arts. Filice also participated as an invited exhibitor in the “Asia Contemporary Art Show” in Hong Kong in October 2018, with her work Birth featured as one of the top ten outstanding artworks. In early 2019, Filice’s works Birth and I Remember were selected as finalists for the 2019 International Artist Grand Prize Art Revolution show in Taipei, juried from over 4,200 submissions. She was also awarded the 2019 Startup SF Best Artist 3rd Place Award and received an Apero Curator Review Award for I Remember.

- 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.

- Group of 3 Figure Drawings by Attributed to Ross BlecknerBy Ross BlecknerLocated in Larchmont, NYAttributed to Ross Bleckner (American, b. 1949) Group of 3 Double Sided Drawings Watercolor and graphite on paper All approx. 24 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.
