ADRIAN FERNANDEZ
Bronze sculptures $10,000.00 (retail)
ADRIAN FERNANDEZ studied visual arts at the San Alejandro Fine Arts Academy (2004) and at the Superior Institute of Arts (2010) in Havana, Cuba. He works as an independent artist and as a professor of Documentary Photography for New York University, Tisch School of the Arts, Office of Special Programs Abroad. Early in his career he began to experiment with photographic media, in which he has developed much of his art, expanding his practice in recent years to three-dimensional installation and sculpture works. The metal structures found in his sculptures result from the combination of simple geometric figures that are interconnected giving shape to more complex volumes, which sometimes appear to be unfinished or abandoned constructions in the process of creation. His photography has developed from black-and-white with a documentary perspective to studio photography and the use of digital images with computer generated content. His work is inspired by the symbolic connection established between objects, belongings, architectural forms, images or fragments of the material world that inhabit and at the same time modulate people’s daily lives. He explores their impact on the shaping of personal memory, collective history and the creation of new cultural paradigms in contemporary society. Adrián Fernández has exhibited in group and solo shows in Cuba, United States, Mexico, Panama, France, Germany, Norway, Belgium and Switzerland. His work can be found in the collections of The Houston Museum of Fine Arts, 21C Museum Hotels, Perez Art Museum Miami, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, La Habana.
ANNE BERESFORD
All works E.V – I have two similarly sized – 22.25 x 17.25 and 36 x 24″ respectively – on hand and these can be printed at different sizes.
ANNE BERESFORD’s work usually begins with an idea that materializes at the intersection of language and image, at a place where the meanings of both exist symbiotically. It is in this space – where the poetic meets the political & the literal becomes visual – that the idea of each work is born. Several recent series are created as monoprinted lithographs, using paper rather than stone as the printing plate. The fragility and imperfections inherent in the process of paper-plate lithography make it conceptual consonant with the themes of poignance, history and transience in her work. Anne Beresford holds a BA from Harvard University and an MA from New York University. She has taught printmaking and painting at The Art Institute of Boston, Zea Mays Printmaking in Florence and in the Visual and Environmental Studies Department at Harvard. She was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship in 2015. Her most recent solo exhibition (2015-16) was at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Ten Thousand Wonderful Things: A Conversation with the Collections, at the University Museum of Contemporary Art. Beresford’s work is included in a number of public & private collections, including Houghton Rare Book Library, Harvard University, University Museum of Contemporary Art, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Boston College, Hampshire College Special Collections, Boston Public Library & The New York Public Library.
LAUREN EWING
‘Saussure’s Talking Heads‘ Archival Pigment Print 20 x 30″
Ferdinand de Saussure 1857 – 1913 was a Swiss linguist, semiotician and philosopher. His ideas laid a foundation for many significant developments in both linguistics and semiotics in the 20th century. He is widely considered one of the founders of 20th-century linguistics and one of two major founders (together with Charles Sanders Peirce) of semiotics, or semiology, as Saussure called it.
LAUREN EWING is a sculptor and installation artist who also creates drawings, prints and photographs. Her art addresses the vast construct of material culture in relation to memory, desire and language. Many of her sculptures and installations are polyvocal simultaneously using image, object, space and unique electronic texts that are thematically provocative and richly poetic. Lauren Ewing has exhibited nationally and internationally in museum and galleries including Diane Brown Gallery, NYC; Castelli Graphics, NYC; Sonnabend Gallery, NYC; John Weber Gallery, NYC; the Hirshhorn Museum; The New Museum of Contemporary Art; the Decordova Museum; Storm King Art Center; the Kunstverein Ludwigsburg, Germany; Kunsthallen Brandts Klaedefabrik, Denmark; Interim Art, London; the Sydney Biennale, Australia and many others. Her work is in many private and public collections including the Metropolitan Museum, NYC; the Museum of Modern Art, NYC; Chase Manhattan Bank Collection; the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art; the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art; the Walt Disney Collection. Her public sculptures are located in many American cities including Seattle, Sacramento, Atlantic City, Denver and Philadelphia. Lauren Ewing currently has studios in New York City, Indiana and Provincetown.

PAST CONSIDERDATIONS
ANTHONY FALCETTA
ANTHONY FALCETTA is an abstract painter from just north of Boston. He grew up in Manchester, Connecticut, where the contrasts between the surrounding rural landscape and the brick mill buildings of his hometown left a deep impression. His paintings look both to the built environments of city and suburb, and the interior spaces of mind and memory, while operating fully in the realm of materials and process. Anthony sees his painting process as a negotiation of sorts — between control and the release of control; boundaries or the blurring or breaking of boundaries; structure vs. de-structure. Paintings take different trajectories depending on decisions made during his improvisational painting process, and so the work functions as a record, built in layers of choices, redirections and chance happenings. The paintings’ harder geometries are tempered and humanized by these evidences of their making.
