About the Item
Bill Claps
FOREST PALM
mixed media on canvas
23.00 X 30.00 in
My work has traditionally been characterized by immediacy and gesture, executed combining elements of both painting and drawing, and I typically have tapped into the instinctual and subconscious to create spontaneous works of art. Recently I have been working more conceptually and narratively, utilizing photos and prints of my drawings in my works, and relying on text and symbolic representation to present my ideas.
My most recent works utilize Morse code to communicate various ideas and thoughts. In an age where all of our art and communication can be reduced to and stored in a binary language, the fact that Morse code was one of the earliest forms of digital code and the first universal language of the digital age resonates strongly with me. There’s beauty in the simplicity of the simple dots and dashes of this outdated language, but layers of meaning and relevance can be conveyed using its symbolic lexicon.
The works in the “It’s All Derivative” series comment on the practice of appropriation in the art world, the use of borrowed elements and visual language from the past that are incorporated into an artist’s vision. These works also raise questions about the role of digital technology in the production of works of art, and the relevance of the artist’s hand in the process. Bill Claps

Botanical II Calm
Located in New York, NY
Parvaze and Peter Mayer come together to collaborate on hand-stitched contemporary tapestries. Parvaze, a talented chain-stitch artist from Kashmir, India, showcases the exquisite beauty of this ancient craft through his work. Using worsted yarn of high quality and traditional techniques, Parvaze creates intricate patterns on hessian cloth, employing a hook-type tool known as an aurah.
Peter Mayer, an American designer from San Francisco, brings over 30 years of experience in the creative industry. His designs are partly inspired by the time he lived in Bali where a profound appreciation for the intersection of craftsmanship and creative expression was fostered.
Parvaze, in collaboration with Peter Mayer, creates pieces that not only pay homage to the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship, but also reflect a contemporary reinterpretation of influences from great masters. Each piece exudes a unique blend of Indian culture and modern sensibilities, captivating viewers with its timeless allure.
Parvaze and Mayer’s dedication and artistic talent were recently recognized at Art Palm Beach where they received the prestigious DIVERSEartPB Museum Acquisition Award. One of their pieces is now part of the permanent collection of the La Neomudejar Museum in Madrid.
