About the Item
This piece titled "Bornholm" is an original artwork made from acrylic on canvas by KC Ortiz. This piece measures 38.5"h x 27.5"w.
Born in Chicago, and currently residing in Copenhagen, KC Ortiz has a rich history that has informed him and his worldview to this day. The work of KC Ortiz is an exploration on survival, preservation, and resistance in a world that is rapidly changing under political upheaval, economic inequality, misinformation, and technological advances. By examining and questioning both our individual and collective roles and responsibilities in these current times and to future generations and civilizations, Ortiz visualizes the struggle of these questions.
“Outside of getting to see and know a new corner of Denmark I went into the trip with no expectations but open to whatever would come. I knew that Bornholm was going to be beautiful and full of nature and it did not disappoint, the landscape really was more impressive than I imagined it would be. The nature on Bornholm is stunning, when I think back on the trip, I am immediately brought back to riding a bicycle in and out of forests and along the coast line. It really has a dream like feel as you cruise along the scenery. I spent the whole time on the bike and was able to get anywhere I wanted quickly and in amazing scenery. Being in nature like that felt healthy and inspiring.
The history of the island however is what made the strongest impression while I was there and had the strongest impact on me. I created a new painting on canvas for the Jaunt print. I painted the piece as soon as I returned to my studio and all my thoughts were fresh. I used some literal reference from the island and trip, such as the Hammershus ruins, the prisoner in stocks, and others, but I think the biggest impression from my trip is reflected in the over all theme. During the entire trip I was thinking of how many kings and Lords have come and gone throughout time, along with their rule and wars, yet the average people have continued on through it all. They always suffer from some outside influence of power and politics but they continue to survive while consistently improving their situation. It goes to show how ridiculous and short sighted the pursuit of individual power is. Together we can achieve more for all, and our power structures should reflect that. History has shown repeatedly that the wealth hoarders and power hungry people just make a big mess of the world.” –KC Ortiz

"Surrounded By Fuzzy Friends", Human Figure, Bedroom, Stuffed animals, games
Located in Philadelphia, PA
"Surrounded By Fuzzy Friends" is a piece by Akira Gordon made from acrylic and oil on canvas. This piece measures 48"h x 60"w unframed.
Akira hopes to give black people images that they can relate to in some way without making an overt political statement; instead, showing figures in leisure, doing the mundane and the ordinary. She finds the most authentic way to do this is through self-portraiture and referencing her experiences. She uses herself as a reference for her paintings because she believes examining your own life is important.
Her artworks delve into the complex emotions associated with her struggle to transition into adulthood while clinging to the familiarity of "childish" things. It's an introspective journey, an attempt to reconcile the inevitability of growing up with the desire to preserve the youthful spirit that continues to reside within her.
Akira Gordon, a Philadelphia-born painter and recent graduate of the University of the Arts, is a captivating artist driven by a passion for contemporary art and self-portraiture. Inspired by Kerry James Marshall and Sasha Gordon...

"Mini Mart", Human Figure, Portrait, Advertisement Motif, Acrylic on Wood
Located in Philadelphia, PA
"Mini Mart" is a piece by Qiaira Riley made from acrylic paint and paper on found wood. This piece measures measures 24"h x 24"w unframed.
"Inspired by the changing visual landscape of my hometown of Chicago, I created these works to explore how the gentrification of the south-side disrupts intimate, private memories associated with public spaces in the name of urban "renewal," even creating commodifiable opportunities to make community memories public and profitable, yet not sacred. I was attending a suburban private liberal arts college; many classmates often seemed obsessed with fantastical, cheap narratives about my community and the folks in it that deeply contrasted the memories of love and care I had grown up with. These works remember and reclaim these spaces while showing off my favorite public treasures, sights, and delicacies.
There are also odes to the sweet parts of my adolescence that I hope urban development will not shift: running around the city with my father, who has worked for the Chicago Park District for over 25 years, my mom getting me a 6 piece from Harold's Chicken whenever I got a good report card, or stopping by Zberry, the city's first black-woman owned froyo shop to get a treat after school. I moved to Philadelphia that same year with just two suitcases, my art supplies storage...
