Lawrence Naff
'Invocation', by Lawrence Naff, Mixed Media on Wood Panel

2022

About the Item

Lawrence Naff's 'Invocation', from 2022, is a Mixed Media work on wood panel measuring 20 x 20 x 1.5 inches. This piece includes Rhinestones, Apophylite, Tiger's Eye, and Cubic Zirconia. Naff's dazzling work includes elements, both natural and synthetic, in a pattern that at first glance seems symmetrical from side-to-side. That symmetry is interrupted by squiggly radiating lines from the central cluster of Apophylite, and the random placement of black rhinestones surrounding the blue circle in the center of the work. The formal arrangement and optical qualities of this piece make it a dynamic work. Lawrence Naff is a visual artist and jewelry designer based in Oklahoma City. Using decoden-inspired techniques learned in Osaka, Japan, Naff creates glimmering mosaics by individually placing crystal rhinestones and gemstones on substrate. As an IT professional, Naff has access to a large supply of computer components which he incorporates into much of his work. The juxtaposition of manmade and natural components is meant to question if technology and nature are as separate as we have been led to believe it is. Naff has displayed his work in Paseo’s Studio Six, 1219 Creative with Inclusion in Art, group shows such as Texas Artists Coalition’s Juried Show, Oklahoma Contemporary’s ArtNow, OVAC’s 12x12 and ARTSPACE at Untitled.

  • 'Rona Bots Money Edition, ' by XVALA, Mixed Media Painting
    By XVALA
    Located in Oklahoma City, OK
    This large scale 113" x 55" mixed media painting by XVALA was created during the pandemic and features floating green robots on a silver canvas with multi-color dollar signs throughout. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on the global economy. The Rona Bots have canceled the economy, but it's not only our money that has been affected. XVALA appropriated this specific dollar symbol from Andy Warhol to remind us that the pandemic has also ripped through the fabric of pop culture in 2020. XVALA's art illuminates the hidden fallout spawned from our high tech Internet age. His Fear Google campaign exposed the decay of privacy and No Delete used hacked nude celebrity photos to highlight loss of control over personal information. The artist has worked with trash from the homes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and others, as well as dirt from the graves of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The dirt appears in the New World Order collection as part of a pyramidal, 3D printed, living ant farm...
