About the Item

Medusa, 2014 Graphite on paper 15.75 x 20.1 inches / 40 x 51 cm (framed) Nikos Kanarelis was born in Athens, Greece in 1975 where he now lives and works. Βetween 1999 and 2004 he studied at the painting department of the Athens School of Fine Arts. In 2010 he graduated from the Masters programme of the Athens School of Fine Arts. He has had three solo shows at Loraini Alimantiri Gazonrouge gallery Déjà vu, 2005 / The Public gets what the public wants, 2009/ elika gallery, quite life, 2014, and has participated in numerous group exhibitions both in Greece and abroad. A Quiet Life. Kanarelis presents a journey towards the truth, a truth bound to a genuine subjective point of view of the familiar and the object. Executed in pencil, and with great emphasis placed on detailed representation, the still lives seem real and tangible, while at the same time they are deeply personal and idiosyncratic. Juxtaposed to one another they resemble cropped film noir stills. Their dramatic quality is partly achieved through the use of chiaroscuro, reliant on light sources that the artist himself has set up in his living space.

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...
