Ross Bleckner’s immersive, large-scale paintings elicit a powerful hypnotic, dizzying effect. Whether pure abstraction of stripes or dots or more representational renderings of birds, flowers, and urns, Bleckner’s work recalls Op Art and the obsessive and mysterious luminosity of Yayoi Kusama’s Polka-dot paintings. Smoothly layered on the canvas surface against a darker gray background, his multicolored volumetric circles or “cells” look like droplets of blood or molecules viewed under a microscope. Emerging as a prominent artist in New York during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, Bleckner’s paintings, like memento mori, often suggest meditations on the body, health, disease, and especially AIDS-related death.

Clayton Calvert was born in New York City. He spent time living in Rome where he studied drawing and architecture. He has also traveled extensively around Europe studying the European Masters. His paintings render the world the way he sees it: filled with encounters of motion, color and form. He currently lives and works in New York City. His works can be found in private collections in New York City, Washington DC, Rome and Naples among other places.

New York School painter Alex Katz developed his highly stylized aesthetic in reaction to 1950s Abstract Expressionism, finding his own distinctive resolution between formalism and representation. His brightly colored figurative and landscape paintings are rendered in a flat style that takes cues from everyday visual culture like advertising and cinema, in many ways anticipating both the formal and conceptual concerns ofPop Art. Well known for his many portraits of his wife and muse, Ada, Katz has also dedicated himself to printmaking and freestanding sculptures of cutout figures painted on wood or aluminum.

Parker Calvert was born and raised in New York City in a family that nurtured his creative spirit. He began learning about photography as a child when observing the Bridgehampton Darkroom sessions of his father and a family friend. It was then that his interest in photography, the photographic process, and creative imagery began. In high school and college he continued exploring image making as his interests expanded into film and video production. He graduated The George Washington University at the age of 19 and moved back to New York City to pursue film and photography work. He has had work published in Art in America, featured ads at Macy’s (34th Street), directed commercials, and worked as a fashion and commercial photographer in NYC. His work has been featured in exhibitions in New York City, Washington DC, and Southampton, NY.

Alex Nero (b. March 26, 1986, Ukraine) is an American artist living and working in New York City. His current body of work utilizes experimental techniques with chemistry and physical dynamics of paint within vessels of water, captured by digital photography. Nero’s imagery inspires a dialogue with the subconscious, allowing a unique experience through individual interpretation.  His work has reached millions of viewers online and can be found in private and corporate collections throughout the world.

Known for his creative vision, he has shot campaigns and advertisements for Brunello Cucinelli, Le Parker Meridien Hotels, Vbeaute, Christie’s, Intermix, and Maybelline NY.

Richard Diebenkorn was born on April, 1922 in Portland, Oregon. His works can be found in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The National Gallery, Washington, DC, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Museum of Modern Art, New York among many others. In 1980 and 1981, Diebenkorn produced works on paper known as the “Clubs and Spades” drawings. When these were initially shown the reaction was somewhat perplexed; with time, however, these images have become some of the most highly prized of his works. Richard Diebenkorn died on March 30, 1993.

Jim Dine was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1935. He attended the university of Cincinnati, the school of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and Ohio University from which he received his B.F.A. in 1957. Dine is closely associated with the development of Pop art in the early 1960s. He is well known for his drawings and prints.

A second-generation Abstract Expressionist painter, Helen Frankenthaler became active in the New York School of the 1950s, initially influenced by artists like Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning, and Jackson Pollock. She gained fame with her invention of the color-stain technique—applying thin washes of paint to unprimed canvas—in her iconic Mountains and Sea (1952), a motivating work for Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, and other Color Field painters who emerged in the ’60s. Her own canvases, however, often evoked elements of landscape or figuration in the shaping of their forms. “My pictures are full of climates, abstract climates,” she once said. “They're not nature per se, but a feeling.” From 1958 to 1971, she was married to fellow Abstract Expressionist Robert Motherwell, who, like Frankenthaler, worked in symbolic painted gestures—only her paintings were almost always visibly improvised from start to finish. As poet and critic Frank O’Hara wrote in 1960, “she is willing to risk everything on inspiration.” In addition to painting, Frankenthaler also made ceramics, welded steel sculptures, and set designs, but the related medium that most attracted her, and in which her achievement came the closest painting, was printmaking—especially the creation of woodcuts, hers counting among the greatest of contemporary works in that medium.

Saturated with nostalgia and vibrant hues, Isca Greenfield-Sanders’ paintings emerge from an intensive, meticulous process. She finds, scans, edits, and prints vintage photographs, alters them with watercolor and pencil, then mounts details from the images onto tiles before, finally, painting over them in oils. This layering of mediums mirrors the layers of abstract and figurative meaning in her works. “I have an interest in the never-ending quality of an image,” Greenfield-Sanders says. “I think of these paintings as being traced from one medium to the next, perhaps being translated.” Many of Greenfield-Sanders’ paintings depict post-war American ideals of family and leisure, such as her idyllic seaside and backyard pool scenes. Others, such as the Korean War parachute paintings in the series “Against the Fall” (2008), reveal a more explicit skepticism about America’s fabled innocence in the 1950s.

In his Pop-inflected prints, drawings, illustrations, paintings, and design work Tom Slaughter exudes a love of life. He makes few distinctions between his various artistic endeavors; “I paint, draw, cut paper, use a computer, and even an iPhone—it’s all the same hand,” he says. In a 2001 print series, Slaughter reveals his contemplative side, with brushy, greyscale renditions of trees, such as Three Trees, which features spare, silhouetted tree trunks that contrast with the raucous vitality of other works like The Old Neighborhood(2001). Small bursts of leafy foliage are graceful adornments, and the image is given an intimately small scale on the page. Slaughter cites Lichtenstein, Warhol, and Calder as influences on his practice.
