Williamsburg Water by Raphael Crump | $2,670
Raphael Crump is a painter, originally from NYC, who now works in Dallas, TX. His love of sneakers inspired his paintings of luxury sneakers/shoes hanging by their laces in urban settings. He has since developed into telling the story of life and growth in the concrete jungle, specifically highlighting the struggles and accomplishments that have directly impacted his life.

Lavender on Blue by Polina Novozhenets | $10,000
Polina Novozhenets is a self-taught artist who creates vivid three-dimensional paintings of knotted ribbons. She plays with abstract representations of entanglement, resulting in compositions that range from dense and complex to straightforward and familiar.

Since 2016 Ziesook You has been working on the “Scent of Broq-pa” project, which expresses happiness through the coexistence of humans and nature, with people from various walks of life.

Red Chair and View of the Street by Patty Rodgers | $1,462
Patty Rodgers is inspired to paint places and things around her. She is especially struck by the way light falls on a space and on the objects within it. Her paintings are about color and how the colors create a flat abstract design, all the while portraying distance, form, and light. As part of her process, Patty looks for geometric designs within the canvas and continues painting until the result is a satisfying combination of aesthetic elements. See more of Patty’s work here.
General Domestica by Kristy Battani | $1,100
Kristy Battani finds her inspiration in deteriorating layers of tactile information, both in form and substance. She seeks to excavate, capture and recreate those discoveries in her work. She is constantly exploring how she can interact, both physically and emotionally, with those layers through the creation of multimedia paintings and artworks. Her process is both additive and subtractive as she is frequently building layers and then aggressively scraping them away to discover small, unexpected nuggets of truth.
