About the Item

"Sphere" is an original oil painting on canvas by Katherine Fraser. This piece measures 40in x 52in and is framed in an artist-made wooden frame. Artist Statement // This man is a connoisseur of the world, but only in theory; he has all of the knowledge and none of the experience. He sits very still, pensive and inward looking. I have a collection of globes, which I am constantly turning and using to engage my desire for bigger, broader travel. I look at them with nostalgia for where I have been, and craving for the places I haven't yet visited. I travel these globes with my mind, as inspiration for going out and having experiences in the real world. This painting depicts the profound loss I imagine I would feel if I did not have the desire and ability to see and interact with the wider world.

"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...
