'Red Orange Diversity' Sculptural Dot Painting
Located in Rye, NY
Women, and their empowerment, are a constantly recurring element in the works of Patrizia Casagranda, whether as a movie star, princess, mythological figure, rubbish collector from India or a member of a particular faith. "I think women are great," the Krefeld, Germany artist and mother of three daughters states. The juxtaposition of these portraits create a tension that is both evocative and aesthetic.
Patrizia travelled to India, where she met the rubbish girls from the Indian snake caste, the Kabelia, who gave her their rubbish finds, which she in turn used, literally, as the basis of her works. The idea of her art was born, the recycled materials "from the street", such as truck tarpaulins, pieces of jute, fabric, paper or cardboard, are overlaid with "15 to 20, sometimes more" layers of painting, consisting of a mortar-gypsum mixture enriched with pigments.
Patrizia also wants the viewer to contemplate what the word type fragments are on her paintings; these can be a poem or even Charlie Chaplin's speech from the film The Great Dictator...

Ocean without a Shore (Black)
By Do Byung-Kyu
Located in New York, NY
The medium of choice for Do Byung-Kyu, born in Cheonan, Korea, is dolls: they are both his conceptions and his physical expression. At the same time dolls are also the perfect tool for communicating the artist’s inner self. Expressing himself by means of dolls liberates Do from the restrictions of the mundane world. By embodying in the form of dolls his actions and thoughts, dreams and desires, and even the instincts lying in the depths of the subconscious, he transcends the secular boundaries. Dolls are his alter ego, his other self that he can construct precisely the way he wants. Sublimating the experiences and memories from his youth into various subjects of desire, Do uses dolls to paint a descriptive picture of the ambiguous feelings of contradictions from his childhood when he would abuse and kill a plaything, for example a frog, then bury the body in solemn mourning over its death. These sexual or violent games from his childhood are not likely to be limited to Do’s experiences alone. Most of us can vaguely remember indulging in sadistic acts of sexual love against a doll. Rising above a child’s simple curiosity, it is an intuitive game of the senses we play by ourselves. In a number of Do’s paintings, sticky liquid can be observed dripping down a doll’s face. This brings back recollections of the life inside our mothers’ womb where we were also enveloped by mucous waters, like the amniotic fluid. It refuses contact with the anything, and nothing wants to touch it either. The shape of such a mucous liquid is a protective layer sheltering the intrinsic identity and desires of man. It is also a substitution that satisfies the ego’s instincts otherwise suppressed by social norms. The dolls’ eyes...

Gold & Despair
By Johanna Schwarzbeck
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Gold & Despair is my adaptation of Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece "The Woman In Gold", also known as The Mona Lisa of Austria. Having admired the symbolic art of Klimt since my working days as a fine art restorer at Vienna’s prestigious Conservation Institute (Bundesdenkmalamt) in the 1980’s, I conceived the idea to recreate the jewel of his gilded period with an interpretive lens on the looming darkness of the Holocaust and World War II.
As a native of Austria, Salzburg, I have developed an appreciation for Klimt’s art, and Art Nouveau in general. For the last thirty years, I have lived in New York City and worked as a fine art restorer, conservator, and painter as well as in the healing arts.
Klimt had executed The Woman in Gold in the span of four years (1903-1907). My own creative process during 2014-2017, reflects my diligent care and thoroughness in rendering the original painting. In 2014, I started with the preparation of the canvas using Klimt’s original size of 54 x 54 inches (167 x 167 cm). For gesso, I used the traditional method of rabbit skin glue and chalk. For the painting, I used oil paints and genuine 23.5 karat gold in various shades, as well as silver leaves, to magnify the brilliant sheen of Klimt’s gold...
