EMMANUEL LIMÓN
Born 1986 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
Eman’s works are a call for identity via objects and material. A curated portrait within each work, brought by wordless teachings of self awareness. Driven by the love of motorcyles, worldwide recognized cult films and the aromatic luxury of material. Influenced by objective lustfullness, power, identity and spatial utilitarianism.

Stephanie Jung
These two drawings are part of a larger body of work that explores the idea of the Anima/Animus, or the inner masculine/inner feminine (as the psychologist Carl Jung described them), with an intention to create images that spoke to the 'Hieros Gamos', or alchemical marriage between these aspects of the self. I chose to symbolize...

Rene’ West
My interest in recording the arbitrary marks on city walls began about 10 years ago. I have walked the streets of cities in 25 states photographing the results of chance encounters between posting, tagging, painting, taping and the eventual decay of this activity. Living near the Cadillac Ranch with its steady stream of international tourists,...

Sloane Snure Paullus
Fusing a Pop-Art approach with highly traditional engravings of powerful men, this body of work questions traditional signifiers of masculinity and power. By using the stereotypically feminine media of watercolor and glitter, these paintings illuminate the artifice of wealth, power, and prestige on display in the original images. A garish palette, make up, and clothing...
Rob Weingart
Art production, for me, is a meditative act. It’s about sitting down, spending time with materials, and letting them dictate the outcome of the work. I never have an idea in terms of how I’d like the finished object to appear. I cannibalize old, failed artworks, studio debris, etc. and repurpose them to produce more...
Scot Thompson
Scot Thompson is interested in combining Thompson's elements based their violent reaction to each other and their desegregation. He transforms feelings and thoughts into tangible objects. Scot’s unique process of combining wood, iron, bronze and other materials, both natural and man-made, allows him to distill and abstract the figure. Similarly, his work on paper expands...
