About the Item

In Love is in the Air, Ruiz addresses the politically charged issue of fumigating poppy fields with a deeply human and spiritual tone. This series contrasts the striking beauty of poppies with the sinister presence of gas, reflecting on the irony of destruction veiled in aesthetic delight. Ruiz's work challenges viewers to confront the harsh realities behind these beautiful yet tragic images, echoing Carl Jung’s notion that true vision arises from introspection. Through this reflection, Ruiz questions where love resides amidst such profound adversity.

A Good Day for A Parade III
By Randall Mooers
Located in Fairfield, CT
My paintings begin with a serious sense of play, both in the staging and the creating of the compositions. It is at this beginning stage that I operate under the Dadaist dictate that “anything can be art”, and at the same time I seek out a balanced and harmonious composition by way of line, shape, and color. I work according to my whimsy, sometimes seeking to assert some form of narrative however personal or ambiguous, and other times I am simply satisfied with the hint of a human presence. Once I have my compositions the paintings then very quickly become about work, a very labor intensive work that forces me to focus my mind and slow things down (which I feel is relevant especially in this day and age of high-speed everything). A great amount of effort is spent on trying to get to the highest level of finish that is possible according to my current skill level. For inspiration I have drawn from the past four centuries of object specific paintings, from the ontbijtjes (laid tables) of the 17th Century Dutch masters such as Willem Kalf...
