As a student of life, Hugh has expressed his views in many places, beginning with his erudition at Rhode Island School of Design and enduring through a capacious and prolific career in Venice Beach. Now residing in a Tribeca high rise, he seeks to illustrate his perspective on the subterfuge of consumerism with elegant simplicity and gracious form. Hugh offers his hyperfocused triptych on the banalities of subtext, on very limited and exclusive loan.
Ekatarina hails from a small village in northern Russia. When Ekatarina was only three years old, her parents decided to leave Siberia and start a new life in New York. She spent the next fifteen years living in a tiny Brighton Beach apartment with her parents, maternal grandmother, and four older siblings. Ekatarina's work has been heavily influenced by her dual identities as an American citizen and a Russian immigrant and the experiences of her family members; her latest piece, "New Cardboard City," is a social commentary on the juxtaposition of the homelessness epidemic and excessive spending in our neo-capitalistic e-commerce society.
Ivana began as a graphic designer working for a major advertising firm, but her career came to a screeching halt when a car accident left her in a coma for the second half of 2015. Once she awoke, her friends and family were devastated to learn that Ivana had no memories of her former life. Ivana's recovery has been a lengthy process but while she has made phenomenal progress physically, her amnesia persists. Ivana's works touch upon the fragments of her past; her "Remembrances" series revolves around a vacation she took with her husband a month before the accident.
