THE WHITE CARD
(Claudia Rankine)
![](assets/images/image07.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Isn't This The Purpose of Art?'
$30
(excl. Shipping & Handling)8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
It was such a rare and unique gift to be a part of Claudia's play. Bold and uncompromising in it's message and tone, I was immediately brought to the brutal use of Black and White and the exaggerated ratio of sizing the featured characters from the world of Frank Miller's SIN CITY
BOCA
(Jessica Provenz)
![](assets/images/image10.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'COMMUNITY'
$30
(excl. Shipping & Handling)8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
Jessica's work is endearing, funny and endlessly energetic. It felt like a disservice to hone in on one particular aspect or character within the piece; it was a lot of fun trying to create a fantasy space where all their shenanigans intermingled for the purpose of this piece
The Year of Magical Thinking
(Joan Didion)
![](assets/images/image08.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'How Long Have I Been Gone?'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
A haunting piece that dealt with the frailty of mortality, in this instance portrayed by the wonderful Sara Morsey, I was drawn to all the imagery of water as a place to return to in moments of great upheaval. I was particularly pleased with using the literal language of the memoir as the ripples.
Rubenology
(Abre Camino Collective)
![](assets/images/image12.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Eres una Leyenda'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
What a mad, joyous thing to jump on the rollercoaster of Ruben Rabasa's life and the many 3D characters that were realized in this one man show. I so enjoyed the different schisms in mental state that happened on stage and that translated into this bizarre mutant portrait of the 'American Dream'. It has Hunter S. Thompson vibes and I'm very proud of it.
Fade
(Tanya Saracho)
![](assets/images/image14.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'I Don't Know If I Have Anything Left To Say'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
What really struck me about Tanya's work was the inherent loneliness of the characters and of the office space which they found themselves in. I wanted to create an almost purgatorial environment where we focus solely on what these two people are asking for and taking away from one another...
Heisenberg Â
(Simon Stephens)
![](assets/images/image15.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Give Me Something to Hold On To'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
Having lived in London for 10 years, the grime of the streetcorner and the angular movement of the rush hour crowd were front and centre in my mind when creating this one. The 'love' that carries these two out of the hum drum and into something unexpected and new felt like it had to be in color.
We Will Not Be Silent
(David Meyers)
![](assets/images/image16.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'You Will Not Be A Hero, Ms. Scholl...'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
Sophie Scholl standing as a lonely flower... fighting her inevitable fate of being cut down by forces much bigger than her. I'm fond of the lateral angle of the sheers preparing to cut her down.
A Doll's House Part II
(Lucas Heath)
![](assets/images/image17.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Being With People'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
I'm such a big fan of the concept of Lucas' sequel to the Ibsen classic. What came to mind initially was the fear and anxiety about what awaits you in a now unfamiliar space. Quasi- Horror movie sensibility meets Nora's new-found relationship to the old house and it's inhabitants...
El Huracán
(Charise Castro-Smith)
![](assets/images/image18.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'What's Drowned May Not Be Dead'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
A deeply touching and evocative play, Charise's writing is surrounded by magic and what can await you on the other side of that threshold, metaphorical or otherwise. Elemental, and full of turbulent energy, I'm very fond of how this one turned out.
Native Gardens
(Karen Zacarias)
![](assets/images/image19.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Stolen Goods'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
Amidst the humor, I was keen to play upon the power dynamics and racial inequalities within Karen's play. I found this played into and against the characters views of themselves and each other. The garden is an all consuming presence in the play, hence my interest in depicting these characters in microscopic proportions...
How I Learned What I Learned
(August Wilson)
![](assets/images/image05.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Moments of Profound Creativity'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
A master storyteller weaves his city into existence...
The Thanksgiving Play
(Larissa Fasthorse)
![](assets/images/image06.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Facts Are Facts'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
Larissa is asking big questions of her audience and 'poking the wound' so to speak, and it was great to press on the same nerve with something mad and provocative...
Old Wicked Songs
(Jon Marans)
![](assets/images/image09.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Listen and Comprehend'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
The power of music vs. the weight of history. warring inversions of light and shadow. Crooked spotlights and looming shadows; over a city, over a person...
The Lehman Trilogy
(Stefano Massini & Ben Power)
![](assets/images/image13.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Money is a Ghost'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
A family legacy built on now what is,but what could be...
Burning from within. Forging new identities in a new homeland, forgetting who you once were...
A house of cards, delicately balanced, soaring towards the sky. Something has to give...
Laughs In Spanish
(Alexis Scheer)
![](assets/images/image11.jpg?v=eb06d811)
'Bah-sil or Baw-sil?'
$30
excl. Shipping & Handling8.5"x 11.5" print. Sunset archival fine art matte with pigment inks.
Certificate of Authenticity from Artist.Notes on the Work:
So enjoyed the R&D on this one, rediscovering all the amazing artists, plastered across the walls of Wynwood. Somewhere, these characters are immortalized on those walls as well... I would never condone flinging fresh pastelitos either...
