1 Chris Wolf Edmonds L-17 Color Play

Lawrence, KS

Giclee Print on cotton, 10 x 20 $600

The primary inspiration for my work is life in all its forms. As an artist and amateur naturalist, I collect the colors and patterns of the world around me and attempt to preserve them in my hand painted and printed fabrics, photo images, pieced designs and books. I spend part of everyday out-ofdoors observing the coming and going of life in nature. I am fascinated by the magical effects of light, atmosphere and time on the luminosity of a leaf, the dazzle of color refracted through an icicle and the way the winter grasses sketch portraits of the wind. I am mesmerized by an evening sky filled with migrating geese and reflected in a pond where the wind-rippled surface turns it into a mercurial impressionist painting.

10 Elizabeth Grandma Layton L-56 (1909-1993) Cinderella

Lithograph. 89/100 edition Made at Lawrence Lithography, 22.5 x 30 $950

Elizabeth Layton, a native of Wellsville, Kansas began drawing in 1977 at the age of sixty-eight when she took a drawing class at a local university.

In class she learned to use the technique of “blind” contour drawing in which the artist looks at the paper only for points of reference, concentrating on the subject reflected in the mirror rather than the line being drawn on the paper. Every day, Layton worked at creating self-portraits that reflect her response to contemporary social issues. That fall, a local newspaper reporter, Don Lambert, was searching for an interesting subject for an article and stumbled upon the class display at the college. Upon discovering the drawings of this “old woman from small-town America,” Don became her biggest fan – and promoter - and to this day continues to tirelessly promote her drawings and her story.

12 John Newman L-2

New York City, NY

Red Through and Through, 2010

Lithograph. 3/15 Made at Lawrence Lithography, 26 x 22 in $1,400

John Newman makes sculptures that are, in essence, assemblages of several disparate specific objects and materials. He may, for instance, combine wicker, cast metal, tulle, gilded paper, gauze, glass and rope to make highly unique intimate forms that draw on but transcend cultural references, and speak to the universe of intangibles such as warped space, time, sound and light travel, while at the same time compelling a kind of spiritual and intellectual focus. As his sculptures reflect the organic and fluid nature of drawing, his drawings and prints compress and then reactivate the shapes and movement on the 2 dimensional surface. The lithograph Red Through and Through reflects some of the process he goes through in evolving a finished image. A major national and international exhibitor, his work is in numerous major public and private collections, including the Chicago Art Institute, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Gallery, Walker Art Center, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Yale Art Gallery. www.johnnewmanstudio.com/resume

Of her work she states: “The objects and spaces I utilize suggest the creative field in which I play my work. It is a field of Art and Design where I practice movement and exchange of elements across boundaries. I am motivated by the dialogues among materials, intelligence or disciplines-by a kind of character conversion where one thing influences or develops by virtue of occupying space with another: red and green pigment meant for a painting, find their way to a chair...or when foot pain assists, over time, in the development of a shoe form. The field for these considerations-for this activity-- is wide open.” Carter has held teaching positions at Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, IN, Penn State University, and the University of Michigan, and joined the faculty of The University of Kansas in 1996.

19 Rick Stein L-101 Cherry Side Table, 2000

Lawrence, KS American black cherr y 28 x 36 x 14.5 $1,900

Stein began taking furniture making classes in 1995, 1996, and 1999 at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockland, Maine, where he studied with Peter Korn, James Krenov, John Reed Fox, and Michael Puryear. These teachers and Lawrence furniture builder Will Orvedal have had a strong influence on his work.

Stein writes about his work: “In a world driven by instant gratification, honest craft stands out as a counterpoint to the frenzy rampant in our culture. Whether it’s furniture making, painting, jewelry making, or any other tangible craft or art, the process inherently requires patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to demand the best, most consistent effort from the creator. Furniture making demands my best effort, my most skilled and practiced work, and all of my concentration. I can’t rush, work casually, or accept less than my best.”

37 Shepard Fairey/Kate Simon L-25 San Diego, CA Burroughs, 2014

Screen-print on Spectone paper. Ar tist Proof, 24 x 18 $400

Shepard Fairey shot to national fame as the graphic artist behind a 2008 iconic poster of Barack Obama, a portrait labeled simply “HOPE” and in a style that could be described as Andy Warhol meets Socialist Realism.

Fairey, who graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1992, was already well known among graffiti artists and fans, thanks to one of Fairey’s early works of “guerilla” art, an impromptu stencil design based on an ad for Andre the Giant, a professional wrestler. Fairey made stickers of the image in the late ‘80s, along with the scrawl “Andre the Giant has a posse,” and the image went viral, spreading far and wide through urban America, on street signs, billboards and walls. He later adapted the image and added the word “obey.” Mixing left-wing politics with “appropriated” images and bold graphic design, Fairey now works as a fine artist and advertising designer, with a gallery in Los Angeles and business ventures that dip into publishing, fashion and urban sports (skateboarding). Sup-

Live Auction ORDER porters call what he does appropriation art, but detractors call it plagiarism, and Fairey’s success has put him in the middle of a legal and artistic debate about who owns what when it comes to images in the public. With permission from the staff of Obama’s presidential campaign, Fairey began distributing the “HOPE” image in January of 2008. A year later, with Obama in the White House, Fairey’s poster was officially displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Around the same time the Associated Press declared Shepard’s poster was based on a 2006 photo taken by the AP’s Manny Garcia and they should get credit and compensation. Fairey filed a pre-emptive lawsuit against the AP, arguing he didn’t owe them.

Fairey has appeared in the documentary films Andre the Giant Has a Posse (by Helen Stickler, first distributed in 1997) and Bomb It! (2007), and his work has been documented in the book Supply and Demand.

Simon has created many iconic photographs that have defined the subject and are part of modern popular culture. The Clash on the cover of the debut album, Debbie Harry on the roof of her apartment, Bob Marley by the pool, David Bowie in the studio, Led Zeppelin rehearsing, The Sex Pistols fighting, Miles Davis contemplating, Patti Smith on a rocking horse, all captured in a singular timeless style. Intimate portraits of artists and writers from William Burroughs to Andy Warhol, Robert Rauchshenberg to WH Auden, recent sittings by Dennis Hopper, Iggy Pop and new work as a contributing editor to Interview Magazine continue to expand Kate’s unique archive.

Kate’s photography has appeared on countless book jackets, record covers and in publications around the world, is displayed in museums and galleries in Europe and the US and in many private photographic collections. Her acclaimed book: Rebel Music: Bob Marley & Roots Reggae is published in a limited edition by: Genesis Publications.

Lawrence, KS Mixed Media $500

Erok Johanssen is a Mixed Media artist working out of SeedCo Studios in Lawrence, KS. Coming from a background in graffiti and street art, Erok has recently been working on mixing the energy and color of the aerosol street culture with the more precise and distinct imagery produced from his photography. The goal of the work is to blur the line where the two mediums intersect. The photograph lends structure to the looseness and abstractness of the spray paint. The spray paint brings more life and dimension to the stillness of the photograph. Together, the two mediums combine to challenge the viewer to decipher what is painted by the hand of the artist, what is digitally produced by the shutter of his camera, and how the two mediums have united to form a unique viewing experience for the audience.

s-9 Stephanie Freeman Eureka!

Lawrence, KS oil on canvas $350

I have been painting on and off for thirty-five years. I hadn’t painted for ten to fifteen years when my sister, who was my best friend, died six years ago. She was so central to my life for so long that for the first two years I literally did not know what to do, how to structure my life. I was in shock to such an extent that I lost 85 pounds in one year and barely spoke. Even though it was very painful to start painting again during such a difficult time, I began painting steadily for the first time in twenty years. At first I worked with oil paints, creating large, brightly colored abstract works. But soon I started burning raw canvas and at first I was terrified of the fire. But very quickly I embraced its restorative properties. I loved the idea of nearly destroying something and, through creativity, resurrecting it.

My current body of work is inspired by the burned canvas.

Pastel on Pastel

archival pigment print $500

Bill writes, “Influences on my art include Zen, surrealism, and cartooning. I have been doing pen and ink drawings for many years. Since 2001, I have been exploring the remarkable, relatively new photographic process called “scanography” (i.e., photography in which images are captured using a flatbed scanner instead of a lens-based camera). I arrange everyday objects on the scanner, scan them, and sometimes crop the resulting scan to create the final image. The combination of lighting, depth of field, color, and texture – all in a very high resolution image – offered by scanography creates never-ending new photographic possibilities. For example, “Pastel on Pastel” is a scanograph of a pastel drawing I made, along with the pastel sticks used to make the drawing.”

s-128 Shin hee Chin Emergence

McPherson,KS mixed media on panel $400

I constantly try to valorize devalued women’s labor and the women’s body by reversing the negative insinuations associated with female domains and imbuing them with positive qualities. For that purpose, I often utilize needle, thread, and fabric in order to call into question the deep-seated bias that women’s work are trivial, menial, marginal and undesirable.

By incorporating wool, fiber, and string into the sculptural production, I convert the conventional “feminine” activity of needle works into a useful medium for the making of art. Through the strategic use of media that have been traditionally associated with the feminine, I want to show that seemingly ‘menial female work’ can be a source of pleasure and power for women. I attempt to carve out what I proudly call feminine territory in which the voices of effaced and silenced women reverberate, and to translate the experiences of women in a way that people of different ethnic backgrounds and cultural experiences can understand and sympathize. www.shinheechin.com
