About the Artist:
Ke Francis is a narrative artist who has been actively producing artwork for more than fifty years.
Francis works with themes and subjects familiar to him. He has traveled around the world and recorded images and stories from his trips as raw material for his work. However, much of his work reflects the environment and culture of the Southeastern United States, where he has spent most of his life.
Francis employs every tool available to explore both true and implied narrative. “Implied narrative is a conversation between the actual components of the [piece],” says Francis, “Shapes, colors, and lines have a conversation and while the viewer cannot hear the conversation they can view the interaction.”
In his artwork, Francis evokes the tragic effects of disaster while simultaneously celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. He does so through imagery that bears the marks of its creation. The elements in his work coalesce and act as a stage for individual human will and determination.
Francis expresses his creativity through various media, including printmaking, painting, sculpture, bookbinding and printing, and writing short stories and poetry. He views his diverse range of skills as simply tools to explore a narrative.
His book works, paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures are in over thirty major public and private international collections, including The Getty Museum, National Gallery, National Museum of American Art, New Orleans Museum of Fine Art, San Francisco Museum of Contemporary Art, among many others. He and his wife, Mary, are co-owners of Hoopsnake Press, a fine-art press that publishes artist books and prints.
“I believe in the art experience. I believe it is possible, even probable, that reading books, experiencing plays, viewing good art, and listening to beautiful music can make a person a more complete and empathetic human being. I believe that experiences can be shared, emotions expressed and understood, and that these communications offer us insights into the human condition and increase both our tolerance and our appreciation of our fellow humans. “—Ke Francis

"Bright as the Blue Sky" Colorful Abstract Butterfly Painting Acrylic on Canvas
By Ash Almonte
Located in New York, NY
The Butterfly series for Ash began as a sentiment to her late Father. Butterflies began to appear in unexplainable ways after his passing, the artist later discovered that Butterflies represent spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope, and life - she goes on to say: "The butterfly series draws inspiration from Rivera's quote 'Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can.'" After coming to the fruition that Butterflies pose as not only a symbol for beauty and rebirth, Almonte felt a feeling of deep comfort. Her passion for sharing this message of hope and renewal through her colorfully diverse canvases is achieved with resilience leaving her audience glimmering much like the inner voice and the spark of Joie de vivre that fuels her purpose in life to create. This piece is painted on thick gallery wrap canvas and is signed lower right and on verso, it comes with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
Art measures 36 x 36 inches
Inspired by vibrance and an optimistic outlook on life, Ash Almonte is recognized for her distinct abstract expressionistic style. She is best known for her series of Chandeliers, Butterflies, and Fashion from the Seventh Avenue Design District. Almonte's award-winning works can be found in private and permanent collections around the world. She is motivated by change, compassion for others, and miraculous phenomena that can impact others for good.
Her flair and admiration for fashion and art have been a staple of her life since childhood. As a young girl, she would experiment using anything she could find to make art; from tearing apart bushel baskets at her father’s fruit stand, to tearing out old magazine clippings from her mother's magazine collection; anything and everything around her could potentially be used to create. She would continue to seek out opportunities throughout her young adult years, as her love for fashion grew, allowing her to collaborate with celebrity stylists creating looks for top billboard artists, as well as apparel worn at New York Fashion Week for designers Sherri Hill...
