The past month has given us a lot of time to think about why we do what we do. We believe in supporting the work of visual artists, especially those that focus on abstraction. We draw inspiration from how our artists explore color, form, geometry, stroke, and gesture in their work. These deceptively simple themes tune our vision.

To help keep art going, we’re offering free shipping within Canada and the United States for the month of May. We are also offering payment plans upon request.

Our website lists all our inventory and will be regularly updated with new work. A good place to start: artworks $1200 and under.

View new works below, and see how creativity blooms in this difficult time.

Stay healthy and safe,

Matt Neuman has been working hard in his studio in the Bronx, producing new woodblock prints. These ornate works resonate in their process-driven simplicity.

Untitled, (Coils) 1 and 2 (2020), Woodblock prints on paper, 15x15 in, $650 unframed / $900 framed

Natale Adgnot’s work was very well-received at Pulse Miami, where the gallery sold out her work. Her wall reliefs often seem like sketches when viewed frontally, but reveal dimensionality from multiple angles.

Dragonfly Wings (2020), Ink, plastic and acrylic on panel, 18x18 in, $1200

Kal Mansur has produced a new series of epoxy sculptures called Terraces. The artworks are solid, carved epoxy sculptures which began in liquid form. Their solidity is borne out of a fluid process combining temperature, time, and viscosity. These geological forces result in translucent and topographical objects, continuing Mansur’s exploration of the space between the abstract and the recognizable.

Terrace series (2020), acrylic and pigmented epoxy, 10.5x9.5 inches, $350 each
