Works on Paper @ 21LUDLOW!

Yura Osborn

Yura Osborn is a Japanese artist living in New York and a recent graduate of the School of Visual Arts here in New York City. Her work often features a repetition of some sort which she relates to the act of meditation and as a link to her own roots. Her work is ambiguous and warm...it's hard not to smile when looking at them as if you were both in on some shared secret!







Anyone living in New York can probably relate to the grind and rapid pace of it. Yura's work offers you some time for you to relax and breath and perhaps even smile a bit. :)

Alejandro Chen Li

Born in Mexico, raised in Brooklyn, NY, Alejandro Chen Li is an emerging artist whose work has the same subversive wit and graphic attitude recognized in "street-art".

On average, about twenty layers of color are silkscreened over one another to create a retinal delight where the eye moves from one area of thick color to the next.

Alejandro, 23, lives and works in New York. Cartoons of the early 90's, (mighty Max, ninja turtles, Tiny Toons, etc...), nature, graffiti and decaying urban landscapes are cited as influences. The four prints included in this show are part of an ongoing series following two main characters on a quest for some unknown objective.

Stacey Rozich

Before the Wave, 2010. Watercolor, gouache and acrylic ink, 22 x 15 inches.

Wild, Imaginative and Flush with color, Stacey Rozich's subjects carry a sense of nostalgia that give you the sense that they are far wiser and older than us, but still related to us non-the-less. Her delightful and at times bizarre art recalls a hazy, child-like creation; they can invoke wild curiosity yet maintain an almost menacing shadow of strangeness and mystery.

Influence from folklore, traditional costume and graphic novel are are all present in Stacey's work. Many of the textures and patterns from her work are inspired by traditional Slavic garb, which Stacey connects to through her own Yugoslavic heritage. Working and growing up in Seattle, Washington, I also consider the influence/imagery of Pacific Native American pattern, inspiring a deeper connection with history and ancestry.

A Lesson, 2010. Watercolor, gouache and acrylic ink, 16 x 12 inches.

Snake Charm, 2010. Watercolor, gouache and acrylic ink, 22 x 15 inches.

After the Gemmine, 2010. Watercolor, gouache and acrylic ink, 15 x 11 inches.

Pre-Ceremony, 2010. Watercolor, gouache and acrylic ink, 22 x 15 inches.

Stacey Rozich is a 22 year old artist currently living and working in Seattle, Washington. She has studied at California College of the Arts in San Francisco and is currently studying Graphic Design at Seattle Central.
