Nada
Artist: Angel Ramirez
Date: 2011
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Purchased: Havana, Cuba
Social: @angelramirez_art
This art depicts a 'king' figure swimming in a sea of words, with the word 'nada' separating each word. Nada is often translated as 'nothing' but can also be translated as 'nowhere.' The artist is invoking a 'king' figure swimming in a sea of words, essentially saying nothing and going nowhere.
Angel's art is recognizable by its clear and precise iconoclastic sagacity. Using recycled objects, text, and images, many were taken from medieval times. He builds a language that reveals daily life in Cuba today. Facing his paintings and prints, it is impossible not to smile — and become thoughtful. Splendid images, sometimes accompanied by text or words, bring to the fore his talent, intelligence, sense of humor, and use of sarcasm to produce the visual poetry that defines his work.

Us Crazy

Purchased: bybmoore.com
Social: @bybmoore
The history of what America has done to Black Americans is enough to make us “Crazy.” In the United States, scientific racism was used to justify slavery to appease the moral opposition to the Atlantic slave trade.
Black men were described as having “primitive psychological organization,” making them “uniquely fitted for bondage.” Even at the turn of the 20th century, leading academic psychiatrists claimed that “negroes” were “psychologically unfit” for freedom.
And as late as 1914, drapetomania was listed in the Practical Medical Dictionary. Furthermore, after slavery was abolished, Southern states embraced the criminal justice system as a means of racial control. “Black codes” led to the imprisonment of unprecedented numbers of black men, women and children, who were returned to slavery-like conditions through forced labor and convict leasing that lasted well into the 20th century.
Understanding the past enables new ways of addressing current implications and identified barriers, including how schizophrenia became a “black disease,” why prisons emerged where hospitals once stood, and how racial disparities continue to exist in the mental health system today.
Des Moines-based, Iowa-born artist b. Robert Moore is known for powerful, striking works of art that confront issues of social justice and Black identity. Visually and emotionally direct, Moore frequently draws on his own biography for inspiration, likewise on the experiences and identities of friends and family members. For Moore, the political is intensely personal, and the personal political.
Post-Aristocracia Habanera
Artist: Janette Brossard
Date: 1999
Medium: Etching on paper
Purchased: Guanabo, Cuba
Social: @brossardduharte
Post-Havana Aristocracy is a reference to the Nouveau Riche. This art depicts a female having her cat's claws sharpened, a luxury that only someone in Havana with money can afford, and typically 'new money.'
Janette's art gives continuity to a strong historical printmaking tradition based on social discourse. She uses different printmaking techniques, transgressing their limits and creating work at the frontier between printmaking and painting. This approach allows her to take advantage of the matrix’s true values, which are habitually hidden to the viewer.

Janina paints with the knowledge that everybody is intriguing. Everyone is the hero of a story. Every moment is the climax scene in its own novel. Her personal challenge is not to seek out remarkable inspiration, but rather to seize a seemingly mundane, everyday moment and illuminate it in a manner that reveals its beauty and poignancy.
She adores painting from photographs. They allow her to capture fleeting expressions, subconscious gestures and rays of unexpected sunlight. However, she persistently undertake studies from real life to further her understanding of the subtle language of the human body and the mysterious nuances in the play of light.

Porch Song: A Portrait of Trombone Shorty
Artist: Terrance Osborne
Date: 2012
Medium: Print on Rag Paper with Pencil Remarque
Purchased: New Orleans
Social: @terranceosborne
Resembling what Trombone Shorty does with music, Osborne transmutes that core into a freshly muscular American figurative painting that advances an aesthetic last brushed by Thomas Hart Benton – albeit passed through the soulful prism of America’s most fascinating city. His contrapuntal palette enhances slightly surreal forms and impossible juxtapositions. The intuitive manner in which he illuminates his canvases has earned him a place in the esteemed line of notable figurative artists to be inspired by New Orleans. This work shows Osborne maturing into a highly confident and singular artist. His golden dawn setting imagines Trombone Shorty on the porch of his old house in Treme, rousing the City with his horn. The 2012 Jazz Fest poster captures two authentically significant New Orleans cultural trajectories at once, framing the simultaneous ascendency of Trombone Shorty’s music and Terrance Osborne’s art.
Three-Way Pocky A-Way Big Chief Monk Boudreaux

Date: 2006
Medium: Screen Print
Purchased: New Orleans
Social: @richard7135
This art captures a regal Mardi Gras Indian chief, resplendent in a suit of fine plumage, prismatic beads, and exquisite handiwork that turns culture into couture. How does one freeze the driving rhythms that animate Mardi Gras Indians, the font of back-beat, second line New Orleans? Start with an icon; in this case Chief Joseph Pierre "Monk" Boudreaux of the Golden Eagles Tribe. Boudreaux, 64 when this poster was released, occupies the big chief's position of stature and cultural responsibility and has woven his chants into music performed around the world.
Thomas is an internationally acclaimed muralist, educator, and mentor who birthed a distinct style of locally inspired, Afrocentric artwork appropriately named "visual jazz." This signature style exemplifies the culture and history made in Louisiana.
For decades, Thomas has advocated for the recognition of African American artists locally and throughout the nation, creating murals and official artwork, curating at local museums, advising and leading several art-driven organizations and programs, and mentoring and educating young artists at numerous schools in the Orleans Parish. He continues instructing and mentoring youth at Benjamin Franklin Elementary and Middle School.

Cody James is a contemporary artist based in New York, recognized for his two distinctive styles. The first involves the simple layering of geometric shapes lightly applied with spray paint, creating an abstract effect resembling different colored glass. The second features chaotic lines made with a ballpoint pen, which form various subjects.
Cody has always been experimenting throughout his career. Combining, subtracting, and mixing different mediums is part of his creative process. Through years of this work ethic, the result is a stripped-back yet more refined application of his techniques. Utilizing the two different techniques mentioned above gives Cody a solid foundation to visualize a unique style while also leaving plenty of space for experimentation.

Hilda Neily has been living and creating in Provincetown, the oldest continuous artist colony in the U.S., for over 40 years. She started painting with American master impressionist Henry Hensche at The Cape School of Art in Provincetown in the early 1970's. Hensche founded The Cape School of Art in 1933, carrying on and developing the ideas of his teacher and mentor, Charles Hawthorne, who started the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown in 1899, paving the way for the town to become one of America's preeminent art communities. Hensche embraced the Hawthorne "color note" approach to painting.
Neily worked intensely with Henry Hensche for over 15 years, maintaining a close relationship while attending his daily classes studying light and color. Now, after over forty years, she continues to carry on the legacy of Hawthorne and Hensche while also teaching in this critical historical tradition at The Cape School of Art, which she and a group of former Hensche students reorganized as a nonprofit in 2010. Hilda Neily is considered one of the Cape School's most adept practitioners, and her position in the community was celebrated in 2015 when she was honored with a two-month-long mid-career retrospective of her work by The Provincetown Art Association and Museum.

Raab has always been fascinated by tone. In fact until he started using watercolour, his monochromatic tonal values he says, "gave the illusion of colour." It's a quality he has not relinquished since he picked up the paintbrush. Aquatinting is Raab's preferred tonal process. It's an 18th century technique, so-called because artists used it to create the effects of watercolour wash drawings. The plate is dusted with crushed lump rosin and then heated (in Raab's case over a lethal-looking hotplate). The rosin particles fuse and each tiny droplet becomes an acid resistant dot. Then the plate is submerged in the acid bath. As with etching the 'unprotected' areas are bitten away.

Social: @speczacular
Saturday Morning Tiki combines popular cartoon characters of Zachary's youth with American Tiki culture in a vibrant graphic pop style. Like many children of the 80s and 90s, he finds escape from daily routine, responsibility, and anxiety through popular television cartoons. He doesn't watch these shows anymore. However, he still feels strongly connected with these childhood programs because they are intimately associated with relaxation. Like many adults today, he finds escape from routine and responsibility with a periodic vacation or, more frequently, a cocktail. American Tiki culture embodies the stress-free sensations of leisure that children attain while watching Saturday morning cartoons and adults attain while on vacation. Saturday Morning Tiki’s goal is to evoke the same emotional response children and adults gain from these experiences.
Zachary Benson Friedberg, aka Speczacular, is a self-taught artist creating vibrant artwork exploring themes related to escapism and the unknown. Lately, his artwork has focused on essential representations of iconic mid-century modern architecture while reimagining these buildings in other worlds, among alien explorers, in alternate dimensions, and in a future where the promise of everyday travel to the stars is realized. Friedberg's paintings are most notable for their attention-grabbing use of highly opaque fluorescent paints, which help capture the happy feelings of the Southern California lifestyle and aesthetic.
