Located in New Orleans, LA
Framed Dimensions: 11h x 11w in
Alexander Stolin, born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine (under the former Soviet Socialist Republic),
where he received intensive training and a master of fine arts degree in his homeland’s
traditional art academies. He immigrated to San Francisco in 1992, met his future wife in
Hattiesburg, Mississippi, then married and settled in New Orleans. He maintains a home and
studio in Madisonville, Louisiana, and is a significant but understated figure in the New Orleans
art community. As art critic D. Eric Bookhardt suggested in 2002, “Stolin is more accomplished
than he is famous.” His art, often exhibited in thematic series that incorporate a variety of media,
ranges from intimate portraits to large-scale murals (one measuring twelve feet by seventy-two
feet). He has worked on a progressively larger scale, most recently designing and painting
projects for the Louisiana film industry. Stolin’s technically proficient and complexly layered art
reflects a unique fusion of the academic training he received in Kiev and his evolving response
to the very different culture, lifestyle, and subject matter he has discovered in New Orleans,
Madisonville, and the Gulf South.
Stolin was born on August 30, 1963. His art abilities were quickly recognized when in fourth
grade he qualified for admission to the State School of Art in Kiev, which he attended from 1975
to 1981. He decided to concentrate on book illustration and graphic arts, and after graduating he
was accepted into the Ivan Fedorov Polygraphic Institute in Moscow, where he studied from
1982 to 1988, graduating with a master of fine arts degree in 1988. He trained as a printmaker,
creating etchings and lithographs, and as a graphic designer, and worked as a designer in Kiev.
“I illustrated mysteries, science fiction, and different magazines,” he said. In 1988, after his
family visited relatives in San Francisco, California, the Stolins decided to immigrate to the
United States, a process that took four years. In 1992, Stolin and his parents immigrated to San
Francisco, and he worked for graphic design and print businesses in nearby Emeryville,
California. During a trip to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where he was visiting cousins, Stolin met
Mary Kay Holmes. The couple soon married and moved to New Orleans, where Stolin
established himself as a working artist and began to exhibit in local galleries and group
exhibitions.
The art Stolin began to create in New Orleans demonstrated his technical skills, knowledge of
art history, and the evolving range of his subject matter, reflected from one series and exhibition
to the next, yet it was challenging for critics to classify his work. This was evident in the series
Stolin exhibited during his first decade in the city, beginning with Byzantium on the Bayou
(1993–1994), which combined historical Byzantine art references with New Orleans and Mardi
Gras subjects, such as Mardi Gras Madonna and Adoration of St. Gator. In his Midnight Dessert
series (1995–1997), he created works such as Tea in Manhattan and Rembrandt and Nathan, a
large painting that Bookhardt described as “a vision of Rembrandt and various Dutch masters
promenading down the sidewalk past Nathan’s Deli in New York.” Following that, he completed
The Water Series (1998–1999), featuring reflective and heavily worked surfaces in paintings
such as Reflections #2 and Study of Fish and Swimmers.
Stolin’s Face to Face series of portraits, completed from 2000 to 2002, featured New Orleans
artists including Douglas Bourgeois...

A piece from the exhibition "Cosmic Duality" by artist Mr. Mitote.
Mitote is a term we use today to describe a lively, noisy, and excessive gathering. It’s also used to depict tumultuous gatherings marked by disorder, commotion, and sometimes even quarrels. In the colonial past, mitote was a celebration commemorating the establishment of the New Spain kingdom, blending local pride with imperial solemnity. However, throughout both ancient times and the present day, mitotes serve as rituals embedded in the culture and religiosity of various indigenous groups in Mexico, such as the Nahua, Cora, Tepehuan, and Huichol. Adorned in rich attire, gathered around a fire amidst the sounds of musical instruments, and under the intoxicating influence of alcoholic beverages, mitotes serve as occasions to invoke sacred beings—whether protective deities of nature or Christian saints associated with agriculture—to pray for bountiful harvests. Mitotes encompass and have always embodied rites, myths, and life.
In homage to the artist’s name, this exhibition is presented as a mitote: a celebration displaying the intimate mythologies of its creator through various artistic expressions such as sculpture, artwork, and video. Cosmic Duality is a concept wherein Mr. Mitote delves into memories of his childhood from a contemporary perspective. His mother introduced him at a young age to the traditions and customs of her native Maltrata, Veracruz, a town steeped in the memory of a noble past wherein it fought for its autonomy. Every year on January 1st, to invoke prosperity, the dance of the huehues (meaning “old people” or “elders” in Nahuatl) is performed. According to oral and local traditions, these characters embody foes in a mocked and vanquished manner, dancing beneath the lash of a tiger or devil. Their costumes feature pre-Columbian symbols merged with elements evoking nature, alongside nods to contemporary entertainment culture.
Through the observation and interpretation of nature, numerous ancestral cultures created dual cosmologies. Far from viewing opposites, they conceived of dual complementary systems such as chaos-order, cold-heat, humidity-drought, feminine-masculine, and life-death, among others, to uphold cosmic order. Placed within the context of Mexico City, Mr. Mitote reimagines these enduring principles from ancient religious practices alongside contemporary languages. He does so through vibrant entities that blend tradition and innovation, memory and fantasy, past and present, ancestral ceremonies, and urban rituals. Each artwork serves as a reminder that across all latitudes and human territories, culture thrives, tradition evolves continuously, the past is revitalized, and the present shapes the path forward into the future.
The body has served as the quintessential conduit bridging two dual dimensions: the human and the divine, the earthly and the celestial, the microcosm and the macrocosm. In several of his artworks, Mr. Mitote invokes propitiatory dances, and ritual practices, aimed at attracting abundant rain and fostering good harvests, many of which entail risking the physical well-being and even the lives of participants. The tiger hunt...

The Whisper
Located in West Hollywood, CA
This 60 inch by 48 inch original textural painting on canvas is wired and ready to hang. It is signed by the artist on the back. The thick layering of paint, glitter and gold foil material presents a dazzling tactile nature to the work. The blue, gold and copper coloring brings out a beautiful patina like effect to this beautiful forest. This would be a marvelous addition to any collection.
ABOU THE ARTIST - For over 20+ years, Haleh Mashian’s art has colorfully illustrated her unique, astute view of the world, both real and imagined. As a painter and creative expressionist, Mashian’s abstract works reveal her appreciation of color theory, compositional form, and the study of positive and negative space. Working in mixed media and using a variety of techniques from collage to impasto, a repeated layering and application of paint, Mashian’s dynamic pieces range from smaller artworks that can be arranged together to large-scale paintings. Her large-paneled paintings have been exhibited nationally in Los Angeles, Miami, and other art enclaves and are included in private collections in the United States and abroad.
Her creativity extends into other forms as well. Haleh has included fashion design, digital art, and music into her repertoire of boundless expression. She is the Founder and Lead Designer for MASH City, her innovative men’s and womenswear collection. Originally from Iran, she is a longtime resident of Southern California with a Studio in Santa Monica where she lives with her husband and two children.
TREE SERIES - The Tree Series presents an intricate study of positive and negative space and the mystery of multitudes in minimalism.
These canvases, often large-scale, have the effect of walking into a multicolored forest.
Art critic, Peter Frank, speaks of this series with awe:
“Haleh Mashian does not paint trees. She does not paint forests. She paints the condition that persists between trees and forests...
