About the Item

assemblage sculpture: old wood mantle clock box refashioned to resemble a Morocco Riad mansion, 6 antique painted skittles pins, antique photo with hand-carved wood frame, woman's veil of antique fabric with old silver coins, amber beads, and beadwork "While child marriage is widespread in developing countries even in the "developed" United States, there are 17 states with no minimum age requirement for marriage. “The vast majority of child marriages are between a girl and a man and are rooted in gender inequality” (Child Marriage UNICEF)." KAT FLYN is a self-taught assemblage artist working presently out of San Diego. She began her career as a costume designer in Southern California. Over the years she amassed a trove of artifacts and collectables which she began using to create assemblage art in the 1990’s. In 2000 she sold her business and moved to Cuyamaca, a remote community in the mountains outside of San Diego to devote herself exclusively to her artwork. In 2003 her work was interrupted when the Cedar Fire swept through San Diego county and destroyed the forest, her home & studio along with almost all of her collections and works of art. Following the fire she relocated to San Francisco, where she spent a decade concentrating on her art in her studio in SOMA and exhibiting at galleries in the Bay Area. In 2015 she returned to San Diego and now works out of her studio in La Jolla, exhibiting there and in Los Angeles. Kat Flyn refers to herself as an Assemblage Sculptor and her works as Political Art or Protest Art. She separates herself from other assemblage artists in that she only employs “saved” as opposed to “found” objects in her work; and her pieces always have a political or cultural narrative to them rather than being surreal or abstract. She also constructs or refashions many of the pieces which she uses in her art – a soft drink box into a tenement building (Affordable Housing 2017), a jewelry box into a wheel chair (Last Lily Foot 2016), an old shoe shine box into a hearse (Katrina 2018). The result is her work is closer in appearance to Folk Art than Assemblage Art.

Alain Kleinmann - Memories
By Alain Kleinmann
Located in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CH
Alain Kleinmann Oil painting and mixed media 80 x 65 cm without frame 84 x 100 cm framed Alain Kleinmann is a true master in capturing the time flow within beautiful painting and installations. his unique approach to art is both sensorial and conceptual, expressed through complex pieces that feature high historical content and extremely rich textures. By mixing different techniques such as drawing, collage, writing and engraving, kleinmann is able to subtly evoke tactile emotions and memories from the past. His paintings are like sculptures and his sculptures have a certain pictorial feel, obtained through special treatments and polishing processes. The metamorphosis of the years, memories that fade away, life experiences forgotten and somehow re-discovered, traditions and cults shape the art of kleinmann and his symbolism, which touch the visitors deeply in their souls.
