Whimsical portrait drawing of a young man on circular paper in blue pastel and conte crayon Portrait is made on handmade Indian cotton paper 22 inch diameter About the work: In the face of a turbulent political and environmental crisis, the artists make their own appeal to change the future with a series of circular drawings on handmade paper in pastel and conte crayon. Panogolin Bonaparte and Medusa are among the drawings that illustrate the transformation of humans into animals, a fantasy of mankind’s integration with nature. These are presented as votive offerings to the Gods as a last attempt to bargain for a more hopeful future. About the artists: Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick...

60 x 48 inches black ballpoint pen drawing on cotton Arches paper. Hung with two dark red powder coated aluminum bars. This large, vertical black and white ballpoint pen drawing was made by Linda Newman Boughton in 2011. The dramatic yet modern drawing on strong cotton Arches paper is a depiction of a notorious photograph taken by Mathew Brady of Nimrod Burke, an African American solider who was born into a slavery and went on to fight in the American Civil War as First Sergeant of the 36th Ohio Infantry.
