Jim Hodges of Summer, from Seasons, 2016 screenprint with intaglio, woodcut and Chine colle with pigment printed Gampi sheet with cutouts in colors, on Revere Silk paper 46 x 36 inches (framed)   ARTIST BIO Jim Hodges’ work explores themes of fragility, temporality, love and death in a highly original and poetic vocabulary. He frequently deploys different materials and techniques: from ready-made objects to traditional media such as graphite and ink. This work, entitled "of Summer", follows the 2015 release of Hodges’ print Winter Speaks, and is the second of a four-print series based on the seasons. Pushing technical boundaries, "of Summer" incorporates many printmaking traditions, including chine collé, woodblock, intaglio, screenprinting, and digital techniques. The work is printed on layers of delicate, translucent paper, which simultaneously veil and expose Hodges’ intricately balanced gestures and colors beneath. Evoking both the impression of surrounding nature and a sense of flowing abstraction, the work recalls the reflective surface of water, with its layers adding subtle depth and a suggestion of something shadowy below. Jim Hodges was born in 1957 in Spokane, Washington, USA. He lives and works in New York.   Submit Inquiry Below hbspt.forms.create({ region: "na1", portalId: "22383903", formId: "391f530e-59f4-4ad0-81cb-e54bea6411d6" }); ...

Lisha Bai View Through the Porthole, 2023 piecework linen fabric 34 inches diameter (framed)   ARTIST BIO Lisha Bai is a New York based artist who focuses on sculpture and installation art. Her sun-soaked window, rendered in soft textiles, creates the interior architecture of an imagined seaside room. In this particular work, she drew inspiration from the traditional architecture of Shinnecock Hills homes and views overlooking the Peconic Bay. She knowingly plays off of modernist tropes of illusionism and trompe l’oeil with an interest in traditional Korean stitching. “While the new curtain pieces are a shift from my sand works, I have always been interested in illusionism and materiality in painting,” says Bai. “I want to create the illusion of a pictorial space while calling attention to the works in the show’s materiality. I’m fascinated by how one is often lost in favor of the other, then toggles back.” Bai lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She holds a BA from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA from Yale School of Art.   SUBMIT INQUIRY BELOW hbspt.forms.create({ region: "na1", portalId: "22383903", formId: "391f530e-59f4-4ad0-81cb-e54bea6411d6" }); ...
