Dimensions: 22 x 16 x 1 Media: Digital painting Artist Statement : As part of my Museum series, this image was inspired by a visit to the Museum of Old and New Art MONA) in Hobart Australia. This is a personal collection shown in an underground museum that has been carved out of a hill side into solid rock. Large spaces are often only dimly lit, letting the visitor lose themselves in the atmosphere as well as discovering hidden artistic gems. This aura of mystery was my interest as I show people descending a staircase from one space through another.

“We have a long drive” depicts a lone mower before an endless lawn, speaking to both the burden and beauty of repeated work. The bright colors transform a mundane task into something alive with purpose, despite its never-ending nature. Artist Statement : My work is inspired by the ways mundane life can hold unexpected personality. I find myself drawn to basic moments where unremarkable colors, patterns, and shapes come together in ways they never needed to.
Through a digital medium, I paint everyday objects and scenes, using deliberate distortions to bring their most compelling details into focus. Exaggerating colors and shadows with a heavy hand often pushes my work into abstract territory while remaining familiar.
Dimensions: 20 x 16 x 1.5 Media: Digital Photography Artist Statement : The Tokyo International Forum is a fabulously designed transit center which lights up at blue hour. I wanted to give the feeling of people walking quickly at rush hour.
Dimensions: 16 x 21 x 1 Media: Digital Print on glass, 2024 Artist Statement : This is part of my "The Dream Exhibit" inspired by Pablo Picasso's Le Rêve (The Dream) for it's strong color, forms, over simplified outlines and distorted depictions. I have incorporated these qualities in my floral pieces for this exhibit to aesthetically provoke viewers about their relationship to my images: a Dream or a Flower?
Pipe Dream is the center work of three pieces and is a Limited Edition of 25

Price includes frame and museum quality plexiglass. Artist Statement : Kathleen Miles is a New York City based artist who focuses on digital media, but also works with traditional media using acrylic and gouache paints. Her digital paintings are bold and colorful abstracts with geometric structures, layered elements, as well as painterly details and textures that are revealed when viewed at close range. Patterns and forms are repeated, conveying energy, movement and rhythm. The most basic shapes such as triangles, squares, and circles are a source of inspiration. The compositions are built primarily with many iterations of shapes that vary in size and angles, but fit together with the aim of expressing a dynamic whole. Color plays a vital role, delineating each element, creating rhythms and interplay.

Dimensions: 48 x 36 x 1.5 Media: Paper (Printed Material) Artist Statement : “Climate change, the ironic side effect brought about by humanity's pursuit of happiness and the progress of civilization.”
Since the dawn of civilization, humanity has continuously struggled with problems like short human lifespan, food shortage, long production speed, and etc. After the Industrial revolution, civilizations became an energy consuming society, and it brought unprecedented depletion of resources and massive environmental destruction.
In this piece of illustration, the Ballers suggest that the biggest problem on climate issues is not the climate itself, but our ignorant attitudes on it. Like a Jenga game, every person tries their best to live a better life, but ironically their actions dwindle the balance of the entire ecosystem. In the meantime, modern society guides people to look up higher ambitiously, no matter how little foundation we have. This artwork suggests audiences consider this issue comically and humorously.
Dimensions: 16.53 x 11.57 Media: Paper (Printed Material) Artist Statement : "The image of us facing Corona virus.”
In December 2019, an unfamiliar virus, which was later named Covid-19, started to raid our lives. Under this universal disaster, people blamed each other with selfishness rather than enduring together with a benevolent spirit.
In this piece, Corona Virus is depicted metaphorically as a meteor, which is widely used as a universal disaster in pop culture movies. The Ballers try to overcome this by making a tower by stacking themselves on the shoulders. However, the tower starts to sway due to the members below switching their positions based on their selfishness and numbness on this issue. Same in the real world, the public should not expect to solve the Pandemic situation through depending on one scientist, doctor or vaccine but through the individuals as whole.
Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 1 Media: Mixed Media - Digital Artist Statement : My works of mixed media images represent compositions utilizing the common thread of Interior Design. An abstract room interior, rendered in informal balance, is created with line, plane, plus tints and shades of color. The effect I am seeking is a mechanized, industrial structure designed to simulate architectural construction elements. The dominant element in my work is a staircase or group of staircases, which indicates a variety of symbolic meanings. The process of ascending a staircase provides a feeling of a positive, hopeful, or purposeful journey; however, descending a staircase may imply negative, confusing, or depressing sentiments. A traditional staircase is straightforward and proposes an uncomplicated route, but a spiral, twisted staircase may suggest mystery and disorientation. My work typically utilizes a series of staircases both curving and angular providing a dynamic sense of movement while suggesting a complicated, mysterious path ultimately uniting places.
Dimensions: 14 x 11 Media: Digital Graphic Artist Statement : I created these swirling shapes by filtering and manipulating a photo of the Christmas lights I use to decorate my house. I used warm and cool colors to represent the hot and cold water that swirls and mixes in the vicinity of deep-sea hydrothermal vents - seafloor features which I have viewed near the Galapagos Islands via high definition video from a robotic submersible. Despite extreme pressure and temperatures as high as 750 degrees Fahrenheit, life finds a way to thrive in the vicinity of these vents.
Dimensions: 14 x 11 Media: Digital graphic on aluminum Artist Statement : I produced this graphic by reducing a photo of a Hawaiian landscape and seascape to basic geometric shapes, and then swirling the shapes into wave-like forms and applying color filters. It is my attempt to capture the turbulent nature of the surf zone, where breaking waves expend energy that may have originated hundreds or thousands of miles away, in the form of storm-generate waves.
Dimensions: 15 x 15 Media: @anthro_artz IG Artist Statement : I am a painter, collagist, photographer and cultural anthropologist who works with acrylic paint on paper, canvas, and wood. As a photographer I produce digital collages printed on paper and aluminum that often situate people within the natural world to reflect my sensibilities on inequality, belonging, spirituality, wonder, and joy. My intersecting identities of artist and social scientist orient me to see the beauty and vulnerability of humanity and the places they inhabit; often depicted in a painterly style exploding with color and movement. There is irony there. As a painter I rely heavily on abstract expression to reflect my thoughts and feelings on happiness, liminality, memory, identity, and community - all in the face of oppression or its remnants. My paintings are sometimes overlayed digitally with my photographs as shown in some of the submissions included here.
