With Art Basel Miami around the corner and holidays on our mind, the art market is in buying mode! Many of our collectors come to us with a budget in mind, so we put together a list of artworks under $5,000, perfect for the holiday cheer. Grab a cup of hot chocolate, and take a peek at the works below:
1. Cassandra Jones, Patterson Stunt
Archival Inkjet on Cotton Rag, 2017. 31 x 25 in.
Cassandra Jones is a remix artist who collects thousands of other people's photographs, in both print and digital form. She uses digital photography to create collage and video works that tell stories and present a prismatic reflection of our self-involved, technology-based, snap-happy contemporary lifestyles. Each piece unfolds a complex cluster of social messages that infiltrate our cursory habits of perception and comprehension.
2. Austin Eddy, The Birds Softly Dreaming Among The Trees
Acrylic, Colored Pencil, Paper Collage on Paper, 2019. 26 x 20 in.
Through the tools of abstraction and other historical painting languages, Austin Eddy breaks down qualitative aspects of painting and questions the validity of “seriousness.” He finds answers to this question by making paintings though play. From his singular and personal experience, he deconstructs and synthesizes information, creating a hybridized personal painting vernacular. This process produces semi-representational works that convey emotions and energies of situations and individuals; the paintings have been broken down to the basic building blocks of each story or thing being portrayed.
3. Keenan Derby, Glimpse
Watercolor on Shizen Paper, 2019. 12 x 18 in.
Keenan Derby’s paintings are in perpetual motion. This painting is a part of his most recent series of works on paper. His paintings have a transitional nature, simultaneously constructing and breaking down forms as the eye travels across each piece, never quite settling on a single state of being.
4. Natalia Wróbel, Coda Berlin
Acrylic on Paper, 2017. 14 x 20 in.
In her paintings, Natalia Wróbel creates portals into liminal realms beyond our physical world. She reference mindfulness philosophy, neural networks, elements from nature, particle cosmology, physics, classical, jazz, and electronic music, ancient architecture, lyric poetry, and theories about the interconnectedness of the universe to elicit meditative abstractions.
5. Holly Harrison, Moon Rabbit
Mixed Media and Found Papers on Wood Panel, 2019. 16 x 16 in
Holly Harrison’s work presents a collection of mixed-media pieces that focus on the interplay between the organic shapes and fluidity of birds, and the geometry of repeated horizontal lines—painted, collaged and contained in the imagery of human structures. She began with a series of collages, each one dedicated to a different stanza of the poem. Since then, she continues to compose her collages with the essence of poetry in the rhythms and melody of her work.
Works of art make great holiday gifts.
