About the Item
Tony Dagradi is an internationally recognized jazz performer, artist, composer, author, and educator. For over three decades he has made his home in New Orleans, performing on tenor and soprano saxophone with many of the Crescent City’s celebrated artists. He is most well-known for his work with Astral Project, an adventurous quartet of top New Orleans players dedicated to playing cutting-edge improvisational music. His performing past also includes five years as a member of the internationally acclaimed Carla Bley and appearances and recordings with Bobby McFerrin, Mose Allison, and Nat Adderley.
Since 2015, Tony has been exploring the visual possibilities of altered books. Choosing vintage and antiquarian texts, he carefully cuts through one page at a time utilizing existing images to create a three-dimensional collage or sculpture. The results allow the contents and imagery of long outdated material to be viewed in a manner that is both exciting and thought-provoking.

Exploration
By Tony Dagradi
Located in New Orleans, LA
medium: hardcover book, acrylic varnish
My decades-long career in contemporary jazz directly informs my work as a visual artist. Music, for me, has always had a visual component, with the diverse elements of music suggesting colors, shapes, and textures. The juxtaposition of abstract shapes which come together as I work on a book, is very much how I perceive the interplay of melody, harmony, and rhythm.
Improvisation is also key to my approach in both genres. Within a jazz ensemble...

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 his unique approach to art is both sensorial and conceptual, expressed through complex pieces that feature high historical content and extremely rich textures.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.
