About the Item

SELINA MCKANE Shalimar, 2017 powdered graphite and graphite pencil on paper 30h x 28w in Selina McKane is an American visual artist from Northwest Alabama. She studied and earned her BFA in studio art from the University of West Florida in Pensacola. There, Selina worked under the studio of Gregory B. Saunders and focused on improving her technical skills. More importantly however, she developed a true passion for drawing and the creative process. Selina currently lives and produces in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her current body of work explores fatality within vulnerability. She has exhibited locally in Pensacola, Florida and New Orleans, Louisiana. STATEMENT Drawing is a form of expressive language unique to humanity. Over the course of human existence, artists have established innumerable dialects with differing principles necessary for the process of image making. On that basis, the tradition of representational art is grounded in artistic canons, practiced skills, and the ability to create captivating false realities. I am fascinated by imagery existing as symbols of human connection; a literal and objective representation translated into abstract thought with the potential to evoke feeling. I strive to develop images that are not only accurate depictions of reality but simultaneously provide a compelling expression onto the subject. My process focuses on understanding the mechanics of the visual world as the laws of art are a direct reflection of the rules seen and understood in life.

  • Bremen #2 - Black and white figurative drawing on paper
    By Andy Mister
    Located in East Quogue, NY
    Photorealistic black and white drawing of rock concert goers - Graphite on paper by Andy Mister. Offered framed. The work of Andy Mister explores the boundary between mechanical and manual reproduction. Working with images appropriated from vintage photographs and deftly mimicking the Xerox aesthetic of punk zines and album covers, removing their specific historical context. Mister’s drawings question how meaning is created or lost through the act of “copying.” Mister says of the arrangement of his images, “It's something like my bedroom as a teenager, filled with images clipped from magazines: bands or writers that I admired interspersed with random images I found aesthetically interesting. I am interested in the relationship between images and connections that the viewer creates when encountering them, connections that I cannot control.” Andy Mister received a BA in English Literature and Philosophy from Loyola University of New Orleans, and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Montana. His artwork has been exhibited at Hirschl & Adler Modern, Turn Gallery, Joshua Liner Gallery, Morgan Lehman Gallery...
