Modern Art
Need a unique and clever work of art? Jump on board the raging ’80s-retro trend with a piece from Cubeworks, a Canada-based group of designers who make 2-dimensional art from Rubik’s Cubes. Using the colored squares of each cube’s sides as a matrix of dots to be correlated with pixels in a computerized image, Cubeworks makes pointillist and decidedly un-square works of art from both customer-submitted and known (usually famous) images.

…”My painting process is rooted in abstract expressionism and the New York School. When I am working, I am in the moment. It is purely an intuitive process.
The practice continues to grow and change as I do. The ovals came into the work in the mid-nineties; they are just a point of departure. My newer work is large, at times monolithic, abstract, and physically demanding to make.”..(Artist Jeff Lewis)

Joe Cariati is a designer and glassblower from Los Angeles who produces high quality, 100% hand-made, hand-crafted contemporary glassware. His collection of elegant vessels are a response to the need for original hand-made glass work to be accessible, affordable and unique. All work is made by Joe, from start to finish using a Venetian off-hand glassblowing technique that makes each piece one-of-a-kind. Each work is signed by the Artist.

“…How does the mind engage with abstract painting? This is a question which has interested me as long as I have been painting. I see painting functioning as a psychic screen, onto which consciousness is projected. This outward projection constitutes a self-organizing map, and in this it becomes a “representation” of selfhood. A painting is a diagram of subjectivity which interacts with the viewer, and through its outward projection of meaning becomes organized as a subject.
Each of my paintings expresses a new possibility, an opening into a new direction where meaning is continually at play and in flux. The most interesting pieces are those in which something has been left unresolved; its reason for being has not been entirely spelled out for the viewer or even for the artist. In the painting’s openness it becomes a reflection of the self; the meaning of the painting unfolds in its unspoken dialogue with the viewer…” (Artist Jessica Snow)
