All in Contemporary Art

Matthew Grabelsky

Grabelsky’s paintings are inspired by the years he spent riding the subways in New York as a kid and by his early fascination with Greek mythology. Small details including zoo posters, stickers, T-shirts, and toys add humor to the art, while light reflecting off subway tiles and molded sets show the artist’s technical ability to paint hyperrealistic scenes.

Alisa Godin

I am a Russian artist, based in Madrid. I am curious about the nature of human being. I believe we are all a pieces of something bigger than we can even imagine. I believe sons of angels and demons, sons of the stars, water, fire; young souls that are born from the Mother Nature — are walking among us in a human bodies. So, my last collection is about the souls who were born from a fire, curious about what is a life in a human body like, what is a love in a human body like...

Interview with db Waterman

I assemble original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink and pencil in my works. The variety of resources I am able to use has proved indispensable to me. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially water colours, was “a large victory” for me . The preparing labor shows through in my collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces.

Interview with Mary Manchin

I create beautiful macabre pieces to make you rethink the past and how it is perceived. Almost all of my photos are original images from the early 1900s that I collect from estate sales and oddity shops around Los Angeles. I scans my found photos to preserve the original then photo manipulate and digitally paint them in Photoshop to make them a past you've never seen.
