201 in Red Steel
Jon Krawczyk, 2012
Jon Krawczyk is a neo-modernist sculptor from the New York School with a contemporary twist. His work has a conceptual side, but it is also very much about the physicality of making art and the objects that result from that action, i.e. energy and matter. Krawczyk cuts, pounds and welds sheets of bronze and stainless steel to fabricate smooth, monolithic forms that look as though they were carved by a samurai slicing modeling clay.

Medusa
Jesse Small, 2022
Statement from Artist Jesse Small:
“I like to go swimming at my local beach. In the winter there are giant floating tangles of Kelp that are easy to get mixed into. At first there is a strong desire to flee from the Kelp. However, this type of direct contact with nature is very therapeutic when correctly paced. Over several experiences of getting mixed in Kelp during swims I finally found beauty tangled up in the cold, grey sea. That process forms the basis for my research and aesthetics of this piece, “Medusa.” It is a Stellae that broadcasts wild natural forms to the surrounding urban fabric.”

Max Steven Grossman, 2014/2015
Max Steven Grossman reinvents the boundaries of photography, constructing dreamlike spaces where art and knowledge converge. His Bookscapes series reimagines the traditional library, digitally assembling shelves filled with carefully curated collections—art history, astronomy, music, or literature—each a reflection of knowledge, memory, and cultural legacy. “My Bookscapes reflect the changing nature of books and photographs in present times and emphasize the dreamlike potential of what lies hidden beneath their covers/surfaces,” Grossman explains. Blurring the line between the tangible and the imagined, his work invites viewers to explore a world where art is both preserved and transformed, capturing the ever-evolving relationship between images, storytelling, and creativity.
