About the Item
Nora See is a New Orleans artist. She earned a BFA at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C., a JD at Tulane Law School in New Orleans and an MFA at the University of New Orleans.
Her work has been exhibited in a variety of venues, including the Corcoran Museum of Art in Washington, D.C., The Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, and the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Ana, CA.
Although Nora is a full time artist, she satiates her varied interests with multiple projects. In 2003, she integrated her artistic interests into her legal career by opening a gallery for inmate crafted art in The Justice Center, New Orleans, the subject of a Times Picayune article, “Gallery will Feature Inmate Crafted Art.” More recently, Nora’s love of film and television led her to work on the crew of American Horror Story: Coven. Halloween of 2014 was a busy season for Nora, with the construction of her Madame Leota Living Statue costume (pictured left), a tribute to her obsession with Disney World. She is presently continuing work on both the Framed series as well as a new, as of yet, unveiled series.
artist statement
"'Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.' A quote oft attributed to various sources that was never actually uttered by any of them. Though Mark Twain elaborated on the sentiment: 'Ninety-nine parts of all things that proceed from the intellect are plagiarisms.' In the Framed Series, I use my 1% contribution to combine issues of consumption with my autobiography.
I paint copies of copies of paintings within paintings to reference the appropriation, commodification, and altered continuum of art. My paintings of paintings are based on photographs of originals to perpetuate the continual distillation of form, given the ease with which images are presently exchanged and modified. Further, by reducing historically significant paintings to framed objects hanging on walls, I augment art as a commodity and reconcile the conflict between the artificially assigned monetary value of artworks with the reality that they are simply swirls of paint. In this way, I am also acknowledging the literality of my own work.
I have also altered each copied painting to personalize the context of the pieces and address specific autobiographical ideas. These ideas relate to a range of both recent and distant experiences, both funny and sad.
Although my initial renderings are digital image composites, my medium of choice is oil paint, applied in transparent layers, using the image on the computer screen as a reference. In addition to its lush visual properties, I enjoy the flexibility of oil paint in making acute renderings as well as the evolution of the imagery from paint to digital and back to paint in further protracting both the distillation and evolution of form."

Princess
By Nora See
Located in New Orleans, LA
NORA SEE grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where, as a child, she taught herself to draw. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the Corcoran College of Art and Design and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of New Orleans. She works and lives in New Orleans.
In her oil paintings, Nora See renders framed paintings on walls with which human figures interact. Through her classical painting style and the use of historical visual references, her pieces contrast the past with the present. By combining these temporal elements with the use of frames as containers, she explores themes of consumption, imprisonment, and liberation.
Nora’s work has been exhibited in a variety of venues and is also in the personal collection of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Abrica
By René Romero Schuler
Located in Westport, CT
René Romero Schuler’s expressionistic paintings depict delicate female figures that she paints using a dry-brushed, minimalist hand, leaving her subjects mostly featureless but nonetheless imbued with emotional interiority. While some of her subjects appear lost and isolated, other works depict couples holding hands in private moments of bliss.
Her powerful images speak to the complexities of the human condition and the spirit that connects all human beings.
Schuler’s paintings and sculptures are purposely semi-abstract and textured, rendering them open to interpretation by the viewer. Their power lies in the layers of applied materials scraped, carved and incised by hand and the elusive quality of the figures – wholistically beautiful but symbolic of the scars and flaws that shape individuals.
Schuler has exhibited in Paris, Rome, Miami, and Chicago, and her works are in the collections of the Union League Club of Chicago, the Loyola University Museum of Art, Grand Valley State University in Michigan, the Coral...
