About the Item

"Black Medicine" is a piece by Caff Adeus made from acrylic and oil on canvas. This piece measures 41"h x 31"w unframed. "This piece is about the health and wealth gap and access to healthcare. In these two works, ginger ale represents the level of healthcare that the poor and the lower class have access to." -Caff Adeus Caff Adeus is a self-taught painter, mixed-media artist, and photographer currently focused on creating paintings from an autobiographical point of view that defies norms, stereotypes, and monolithic rhetoric by using a blend of cultural references and iconography. "My work boldly states what a lot of artists wouldn’t dare express openly. This unapologetic approach incorporates a mixture of iconography, abstraction, figuration, and ubiquitous symbols to express my experiences, and attempt to reconfigure ideology in regards to racial disparities, social norms, and a tragic history that is often blurred. In my work there's vulnerability and apprehension, urgency and calm, purpose and purposelessness, disillusionment and enthusiasm, seriousness and irreverence, optimism and nihilism. These dichotomies are explored using photography, reconstructed objects, sculptures, and paintings. Aesthetically, my paintings symbolize commonality, and echo the tone of the grittiness of the city I call home. Layers of acrylics, buttery oils, spray paint, and colorful pastels add playful, finely detailed antagonistic critiques about the world around me, while offering viewers a glimpse of who I am." -Caff Adeus

Preoccupation
By Amanda Marie
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This painting titled "Preoccupation" is an original artwork by Mando Marie made of acrylic, aerosol, and ink on canvas in a wooden box frame. It measures 40.75"h x 32.75"w framed An American painter and Stencilist, Mando Marie has been living and painting in Colorado since 2001. She attended the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design (RMCAD) and has exhibited extensively in the US and Europe. She creates small works on paper and larger works on canvas for indoor exhibition. She also paints large scale murals in outdoor and urban and garden settings. Her use of nostalgic storybook like imagery is an invitation for viewing allegorical and highly painterly compositions . Signature in her very graphic work is the use of children and young adults as imagery tools to deliver clever often subtle messages that can straddle a line between comforting and spooky. Other signature and recognizable traits in her work are the common use of ‘twin imagery’ and the consistent use of vintage sewing patterns...
