We recently added many fantastic pieces to our limited edition print portfolio. Here is a small selection of the beautiful new work:

---

CLAY MAHN: Clay is one of the youngest artists in our portfolio, but his work is extremely sophisticated. Influenced by the OP ART & Minimalist movements, Mahn constructs these complex spaces with just a few forms. [caption id="attachment_12014" align="alignleft" width="504"] Untitled, 2014.

LAUREN SIMMONDS Lauren Simmonds is a Melbourne based artist who is doing wonderful things with paper. Her delicate sculptures play with 2 dimensional surfaces, transforming flat paper surface into complex dimensional sculptures. We have added a series of drawings, photographs and collages that epitomize her practice and make beautiful limited edition prints.

This week we have added a selection of very recent work by Californian artist Emily Silver.

Emily throws tradition out of the window, approaching her drawings as extensions of her sculptural work. Surfaces are built with an eclectic mix of sculptural materials in addition to paint & pencil. The results are innovative and exciting. As subject matter she looks to funerals, parties, parades and carnivals, using iconography, materials and colors associated with these events to create her artwork. On a conceptual level Emily's work examines the space between the celebratory and the tragedy. Often comedy is used through the incorporation of a written 'punch line'. While crude, funny or devastating, Silver uses comedy to make a poignant comment on the resilience of the human spirit and the role of ritual in our lives. Visit EMILY SILVER to see the full portfolio of work. Prints start at $85.00 AUD.

This week we release a series of limited edition prints from a collaboration with the fantastic artist Nicolas Jorcino.

Nicolas Jorcino is a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, who has lived and worked in Louisville, KY since 2001. While attending architectural school in his hometown, Jorcino was introduced to painting during weekly sessions at a local master's workshop. He quickly began conducting his own experiments, which led him to become a full time muralist for the next eighteen years. Today his work is still informed by some of the same problems, pursuits and processes of architecture and design; as a social and physical science and also as a fine art. About his work in this exhibit, Nicolas writes, “My formal training is in architecture and urban planning. I began this series of paintings a few years ago while exploring different aspects and similarities between these two disciplines and painting. Identifying light as the primary material of architecture, I looked for a way to present it with the same weight and hierarchy as the concrete structures that control and shape it in the works of some of the masters I admire... In these images, the process is revealed more as an intellectual exercise than a physical execution.”

Nicolas is currently exhibiting at the Carnegie Center for Art & History in Kentucky with another TWFineArt artist and favorite, Rebecca Norton. The is exhibition titled In Between and runs until October 11, 2014.

It is quite a big month of exhibitions for some of TWFineArt's artists, with Max Greis, Emily Silver and Margarita Dittborn Valle all having exhibitions opening this month. To learn more about these exhibitions follow the links below and visit their page at TWFINEART.COM to see the artists work in limited edition print! MAX GREIS - The Garage Door Video Series at BRIC Contemporary Art.

"The Garage Door Video Series, Between Now and Then, is a look at landscapes in the process of change. Whether material or ethereal, these videos explore cycles of decay and rebirth. Artists in this series locate changes within broad thematic spectrums that range from the natural environment to human history. While some address visions of progress, others comment on acts of deliberate destruction. Most of the videos apply a specific technique of cut-out collage animation, which super-imposes moving images upon two-dimensional planes. This technique helps achieve unexpected optical delights, which, at times resemble moving paintings. Through the visual juxtaposition of stillness and movement, the marks of transformation over time become apparent." Exhibition curated by: Shireen Abrishamian and Banyi Huang

EMILY SILVER - Savage Mentality at Cerritos College Art Gallery.

"Savage Sentimentality presents a group show of artists of unique backgrounds and interests connected by a tenuous relationship to sentiment. The artists included allude to and/or embrace sentiment while simultaneously ravaging it, either with a brutish material response or vice versa - a subject matter that contradicts the sensitivity of material handling." Guest curated by Steven Hampton.

MARGARITA DITTBORN VALLE - Retrospective at Parque Arauco 

"Like the artists of yesteryear, Margarita Dittborn Valle's (Born: 1981 ) pure ambition is to create a sublime visual experience.... We love the subtle nostalgic and fanciful themes ever-present in the work of this photographer and winner of a transcendent self-taught artist in the national and international space."
