Featured Artists

A faithfully rendered barbershop scene teeming with details: A gumball machine, a TV mounted high on the wall with the game on, boxing gloves hanging on the wall beneath a portrait of MLK, a poster advertising different hairstyles, a portrait of Madame CJ Walker, da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man” displayed next to the door and reflected in the mirror on the opposite wall. Wood paneled walls, red carpet mats, cut hair on the floor. The shop is populated by adults and children, men and women - four people waiting in chairs along the wall, two haircuts in progress, two about to start, and the barber holding it all together.

Glenn Hardy Jr.

A painting of a woman seated with brown skin and electric blue hair. She is wearing a black and white patterned shirt and holds a French bulldog in her lap. The backgrond is primarily white, and there is a table on the righthand side of the composition with an orange plant.

Aplerh-Doku Borlabi

Photorealistic drawing of a series of legs that are semi-transparent, layered atop one another. The limbs are bright yellow, red, and blue, and there is a yellow shoulder and bent arm emerging on the left. Towards the center of the composition is a man with tan skin, , looking to the left, his arm is bent with an open palm facing outward.

Luis Felipe Chávez

A futuristic looking sofa that has many curved pieces of pale wood that fluctuate from larger to smaller, like a wave. The flate wood pieces are spaced equally apart. Through the gaps, blue and green light shines in the darkened room.

Luminous Waveforms

Against a pale pink background, three nearly identical figures stand in profile, the second two standing almost directly behind the first for a mirroring effect. The figure is simplified - wearing a gray-blue form fitting garment outlined in a thick red line, with black sleeves and bright yellow gloves. Their skin is a softly textured blue-pink. Their salmon-pink hair is swept up into a pompadour-like pouf. They each wear teardrop-shaped glasses, outlined in the same yellow as their gloves, with large red eyeballs visible behind the semi-transparent lenses. The overall effect is retro-futuristic.
