About the Item

Edition of 10 Laria Saunders creates digital photo-assemblage paintings, NFT’s and animated paintings that come alive to music. Her paintings are uniquely assembled by collaging bits and pieces of texture photos that she acquires from walking on the street. On her iPhone, she uses 20-70 images per painting; layering, blending and incorporating texture, line, form and color into her palette. Saunders explores the idea of humanity’s inherent artistic drive with Agape as interconnectivity and Eros of purpose; both evolving in increasing levels of creativity and self-awareness with the power to transform pain. The "column" central in many of her works, references this universal drive and is also personal and reflects her own willpower to overcome suffering. For over 21 years, she survived debilitating neurological pain; consequently most of her work was created bedridden, in the dark. In Saunders’ New Orleans series, she utilizes hundreds of photos taken from NOLA's streets. The distinctive architecture, peeling paint, aging walls, vibrant colors are all incorporated and then animated into what she refers to as “a visual dance.” The video paintings are influenced by a family of jazz musicians and aficionados and in this New Orleans series, she collaborates with her father, Theo Saunders; a jazz pianist, composer and arranger. Saunders has lived in Boston, New York, California and India and currently resides in central Mexico. As a former award-winning photographer and dancer, she turned to the digital space ten years ago, as a way to depict invisible pain through a series of self-portraits. She then found solace in the abstract arena and explains, “The abstract space is poetically similar to dance; the accents, fields and valleys are open to interpretation and have an alternate rhythm, cadence and consciousness to the figurative space.” Saunders is a self-taught artist from four generations of painters and performers. She received a Bachelor of Arts from University of California - Los Angeles in World Arts and Culture. Due to her decades-long struggle with pain, Saunders is a newcomer to the art world, but her body of work spans ten years. Her paintings have been collected by Google, Microsoft, Warner Media and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Abstract Print India Artist Proof Linocut Nature Earth Love Red Orange
By Mukesh Sharma
Located in Norfolk, GB
There is a natural and raw understanding in Mukesh Sharma’s prints that both depict, and are influenced by, the Rajastani communities of his home town in rural India. In these Limited Edition fine-art prints, made over a period of twenty years, we are offered the colours of India’s ancient land, the textures, light and the patterns that are everywhere. In the patterns of the arable fields to the jali's (carved screens) in the architecture. This work is however not romantic nor nostalgic but shows a deeper rooted need to offer a visual heritage of place, of where the artist is from and the journey that he is taking. The results are both compelling and honest. Mukesh Sharma, Twin Showcase, Lino-cut on German Ivory paper Edition: AP, 2005 Image size: 47 x 39 cm / Sheet size: 79 x 55 cm Unframed 'We belong where love finds us' Mukesh Sharma's work: It is often in childhood that paths are set for what we will become. Mukesh Sharma hails from a rural, agricultural village in Rajasthan, India. His Father is a craftsman who fixed and mended farm machinery and understood the working parts in the processes. Sharma followed in his Father’s footsteps, as is often the case in Indian families, but his was not the machines of the fields but the presses of the printing studio. Like his Father, Mukesh Sharma is fascinated with understanding how things work and how he can manipulate the metal in his hands. It is not surprising then that his medium of choice is printing. One of the most physically challenging of all the practices, it can often be physically challenging as well as technical and detailed. In his youth, Sharma would draw with stones on walls and floors. He was lucky his family encouraged this and he is grateful for his early art-training at the Jaipur School of Art but it was at the Baroda Art Department that he was introduced to the great printing traditions of Jyoti Bhatt...
