Re Jin Lee’s work is a unique assembly of individually rolled-out clay slabs and coils created by a 'hand and clay' collaboration inspired by the contemplative process of ceramics and belief in the power of simplicity. A native of São Paulo, Brazil, and of South Korean heritage, Lee draws inspiration from the amalgamation of modern Brazilian architecture, such as the works of Oscar Niemeyer and Lina Bo Bardi, Portuguese colonial architecture, and traditional Korean arts. Initially venturing into the field of fashion design and styling while residing in the United States, she eventually discovered her passion for art and design.

Collaborative custom painting by Vico Valle item

Collaborative custom painting by Vico Valle
$500

Starting bid

Vico Valle is a rising contemporary artist from Guadalajara, Mexico.


Together with Vico, you will choose a species of bird and flower from your hometown/city of residence to create a 60 x 60 cm collaborative painting as part of Vico's series "So Many Cables Began to Give Shade." These works are embroidered with natural pigments and fiber optic embroidery.


Along with working with Vico to create the piece, you'll have the opportunity for a virtual studio visit to better understand her work.


More information about the series

"There are so many cables that they begin to cast a shadow."


This is a project that fictionalizes an increasingly near future about the interspecies connections that will have to emerge in the face of environmental catastrophe and deforestation in the city. In a landscape where trees have been cut down and the city has devoured its own roots, there will no longer be branches to make nests. It will be a time when flowers will welcome the birds. Species found in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area will form a symbiosis and form a new complicity. A new bond.


Canvases painted with local soil and embroidered with naturally dyed wool and fiber optic cables strung across the street suggest another space where birds exist: the urban wiring system. Poles on trees. There will be (and is) dispossession in the metropolis, and forced adaptation, but also the possibility of unprecedented connections and resilience. More than a scene of loss, the work is a testament to transformation: in the absence of branches, nature invents other refuges, other gestures of shelter. A living-with, as biologist and philosopher Donna Haraway would say. Here, the boundary between destruction and regeneration blurs, leaving room for the question: what forms of coexistence can emerge when what we took for granted no longer exists?

Earth Pigment Painting by Dell Alvarado (Oaxaca) item
Earth Pigment Painting by Dell Alvarado (Oaxaca)
$700

Starting bid

Dell Alvarado is a visual artist from Oaxaca whose research-based practice explores identity in relation to territory, the Zapotec language, extractivism, and environmental justice.

Yuubá
Earth pigments on cotton
70 x 100 cm
2024


This painting is part of her series Layú Bizá (Promised Land), in which she seeks to reconstruct the territory of her hometown through artistic research. In this body of work, Dell reflects on collectivity, resistance, and the sense of belonging to both land and her maternal language.


Working with natural earth pigments collected in her town — Unión Hidalgo, in the Isthmus region of Oaxaca — she uses painting as a way to open dialogue with her community about the geostrategic extractivism carried out by foreign companies on their land. By approaching archiving and mapping through an artistic and pictorial lens, this project bears witness to the environmental impacts and displacement her community is facing.

The Wishbone / Sterling Silver by Octave Jewelry
$175

Starting bid

For Ope Omojola, Octave Jewelry was the natural outcome of a lifelong creative practice prioritizing materiality, color, and movement. A student of Anthropology, Ope first picked up a soldering torch at a weeknight class at the 92nd Street Y. Years of independent experimentation and exploration led to Octave’s signature style, creating wearable sculptures that speak to personal style, history, and sentimentality. Born in Nigeria, Ope lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.


The Wishbone is a swooping, continuous curve enveloping a swiveling spinner in a playful charm. Reminiscent of the forked form of a wishbone, with this pendant there's no need to fight over the bigger piece. It’s all yours- now make your own luck.

'Floating' Tufted Rug by Jocelyn Tsaih

Jocelyn Tsaih (b. 1992) is a Taiwan-born, Shanghai-raised artist, working as a painter, illustrator, and muralist.


This limited edition 24”x36” tufted rug is high quality and plush.
It can be displayed as a wall hanging or on the ground as an actual rug.


Value $250


Though she works in various mediums, the connecting thread throughout Jocelyn's work is her depiction of amorphous figures, as shown here. Often portrayed in abstracted, liminal spaces, she aims to touch on the emotional aspects as well as the otherworldliness of our human experience. 


The figures in Tsaih's work act as extensions of herself. As someone who grew up between multiple cultures and worlds, she's created her own version of the "in-between".


Jocelyn's clients include The New York Times, Spotify, Apple, Adobe, Google, Greenpeace, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Airbnb, Facebook and more.

Floe Vessel

Raku-fired stoneware

Edition of 1

5 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 7”


Value: $600

 

*Each raku piece is fired in a special outdoor kiln to almost 2000 degrees, before the kiln is rapidly

opened, exposing the molten vessels within to a blast of cool air.


This unleashes a powerful temperature shock: the ceramic material expands and contracts wildly, almost to the point of explosion. Hairline cracks form on the glaze’s surface as the form fights to hold its shape.


Blazing vessels are gently plucked from the kiln using long steel tongs, and placed in fireproof containers upon a bed of combustibles—hay, wood shavings, sawdust, recycled paper, and other organic materials—which burst into flame upon contact.

From the series Lotes Céntricos

Transfer, drawing, and watercolor on paper

35.5 x 25 cm

2023

Lotes Céntricos is a body of work about the fragmentation of territory and its relationship with the everyday objects that surround it. Through a series of collages that combine photo transfers, watercolor, and graphite, the series emerges from the following questions: What determines the value of land, and in relation to what? How does this action manifest in the context of the historical circumstances that shape the city of Oaxaca? And in what ways do everyday objects and gestures contribute to the symbolic construction of the urban landscape?

From the series L.A. Walk

Monotype on paper

38 × 28.5 cm

2024


During May and June 2024, Víctor Mortales worked in Los Angeles as an artist-in-residence at Art Division, where he explored various media such as transfers, prints, actions, and paintings — all sparked by his surroundings in the Westlake community. A central element of his creative process is the act of walking, through which he delves into the historical fabric of MacArthur Park and its deep connection to the constantly evolving landscape of Los Angeles. To create these monotypes, Mortales presents geometric compositions that resemble the urban horizon, using mosquito netting to highlight the conditions of restriction and access within these spaces.
