Our Artists
Jaq Belcher
Jaq Belcher is a New York-based artist working with hand-cut paper. She explores energy, consciousness, light, and form through drawing on paper with a blade in the shape of the vesica piscis - sacred geometry.
Born in Melbourne, Australia, Belcher received her Bachelor of Arts from Melbourne University, studied gold- and silversmithing at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and received her Master of Arts Administration degree from the University of New South Wales College of Fine Arts.
Alicia Brown
Alicia Brown is a fiber artist whose sculptural works are guided by an attention to material integrity and sustainability. Each piece begins with the quiet presence of her chosen fibers and unfolds through an intuitive, layered process. She works slowly, allowing form to emerge from the rhythms of cellulose, mulberry bark, wool from regenerative farms, salvaged cloth, and upcycled Indian saris. These materials, hand-selected for their texture and history, remain at the center of her practice. Their imperfections and provenance are preserved, giving her work both depth and authenticity while opening a conversation about value, process, and place.
Arnaud Gibersztajn
Arnaud Gibersztajn is a Paris-born, New York–based painter whose work is devoted to abstraction, exploring color, composition, and the fragile equilibrium between discipline and openness. Largely self-taught, he began painting in childhood but committed fully to the practice after relocating to New York at the age of twenty-five.
Under the mentorship of Jan Wunderman, he refined his study of line, color, and form, leading to his first group exhibition at P.S. 122 in 1997. By 1998, he had arrived at the distinctive approach that defines his mature work: luminous fields of oil built with a palette knife, layered into subtle variations of tone and depth.
Larry Gordon
Larry Gordon is a fine artist, architect, and furniture designer based in New York. His art is largely informed by his architecture and is greatly comprised of geometric shapes, with their impact coming from linear form and color. Larry asks that you “Experience my paintings as you would music,” and enjoy the joyful celebration of color.
Bob Hest
Bob Hest is a Minneapolis-based figurative painter whose career spans decades and bridges the disciplines of visual art and music. Hest’s practice is rooted in the belief that strong draftsmanship is the foundation of expressive, character-driven portraiture. Guided early in his education by mentor Jack Youngquist at Moorhead State University, Hest internalized the principle that “drawing comes first”—a mantra that continues to shape his approach today.
His work explores the emotional resonance of the human form, blending technical precision with psychological depth. Influenced by masters such as John Singer Sargent, Hest strives to create portraits that go beyond likeness to capture the essence of his subjects.
Candy Le Sueur
Candy Le Sueur is a painter and printmaker whose practice is rooted in an exploration of light, land, and sky. Her work often hovers at the threshold of abstraction, producing images that feel at once familiar and intangible. Some paintings unfold with a quiet, meditative slowness, offering spaces that invite stillness and reflection, a pause from the pace of daily life. Others move more quickly, marked by expressive gestures and bold marks that seek to capture the sensation of a fleeting moment. Together they form what Le Sueur describes as ethereal landscapes—records of perception that balance memory, atmosphere, and immediacy.
Tuba Önder
Tuba Önder is an Istanbul based artist whose work explores the way we navigate the world of things and thoughts. Her work reflects on the themes that shape us - values, time, and memory - and how these accumulate and leave their imprint on both our surroundings and ourselves.
Working primarily in ceramics and porcelain, Önder brings together centuries of tradition with a technical precision all her own. She has developed a method in which each piece is shaped by hand, then stabilized in its exact form as it undergoes a carefully calibrated firing process. By maintaining the kiln at exactly 1250°C, she ensures the porcelain remains smooth and flat, preserving even the smallest contours and angles in pristine detail.
Russell Reed
Russell (Mateo) Reed is a Guadalajara-based visual artist and composer whose work bridges abstraction and figuration to explore perception, memory, and the psychological terrain of the body and landscape. Originally from Austin, Texas, Reed holds a Doctor of Musical Arts from The University of Texas at Austin. While his formal training is in music, his visual art practice has evolved over the past decade into a distinct and compelling voice in contemporary painting.
Reed’s paintings move fluidly between the external and internal worlds. His earlier abstract work was grounded in the sensations of nature and the environment around him—what he describes as “the abstraction of the earth.”
