Only a few days left in the blockbuster solo show by Alexis Kandra at Koda in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Alexis has been kicking ass throughout the year and is taking that momentum into 2016. Don't miss this prime opportunity to get in on the ground floor with this exciting emerging artist. You will be seeing a lot more of her work to come. Only a few paintings left, including this one in the photo. Hit me up for available inventory by Alexis Kandra. @kandra_art @kandra_art #art #fineart #painting #oil #oilpaint #oilpainting #interiordesign #interiordesigner #design #style #tastemaker #fashion #artwork #brooklyn #nyc #newyorkcity #alexiskandra #koda #kodabrooklyn #scifi #sciencefiction #portal #grid #spacetime #space #tiger #deer

Here is another painting by Weston Emmart, a concept that he was working on for a local museum in Cape Cod. These Horseshoe Crabs, native to the shores of the region, come onto land during the night to breed and lay eggs. Sadly, Weston passed away before the project could be completed. #art #fineart #painting #original #watercolor #watercolorpainting #artwork #crab #horseshoecrab #ocean #beach #sand #fullmoon #moon #westonemmart #painter #capecod #naturalhistory #night #nighttime #originalart #interiordesign #science #artofig #instaart #wildlife

I love the perspective of this watercolor painting by Weston Emmart. An accomplished artist in a number of disciplines, Weston dedicated his life to the arts and found peace within them. Lighthouses and the New England coastal landscape was the subject of many paintings as he would sit in solitude and interpret the land as he saw it. #art #fineart #painting #watercolor #watercolorpainting #lighthouse #beach #coast #coastal #ocean #newengland #capecod #massachusetts #landscape #westonemmart #artist #artwork #artofig #instaart #artwork #interiordesign

An old Aiko Nakagawa HPM from my collection that I picked up back in 2007 during her group show with Skewville, Bast & Chris Mendoza at Ad Hoc Art in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

I am really exited for the upcoming exhibition in January at Castor Gallery featuring artwork by Syrian and Iraqi artists. Curated by Zen Alnuweiri, she is changing the conversation from refugees and religion to the beautiful interpretations by artists from the region. This work, by Saad Ali, is one such example of the work featured in the show. #art #fineart #castorgallery #les #lowereastside #gallery #exhibition #curator #artist #middleeast #syria #syrian #iraq #iraqi #groupshow #interiordesign #interiordesigner #style #design #drawing #caligraphy #flower #drawing #upcoming #dialogue #change #instaart #saadali #artwork #nyc #newyorkcity @zen.nyc @castorgallery

The master of vinyl installation, hard at work. Hiroshi Kumagai, the owner of Full Point Graphics, has built a reputation throughout NYC as one of the top vinyl text and graphic companies in the city. With clients ranging from the MET to the NY Public library, you have probably seen his work and never known it. He has turned vinyl installation into an art through his years of experience and outright dedication. #vinyl #vinyltext #text #font #typography #lettering #kerning #hiroshi #hiroshikumagai #japan #nyc #newyorkcity #redhook #brooklyn #manhattan #exhibition #design #designer #install #installation #bts #museum #met #nypl #interiordesign #interiordesigner #designservices @xactohands @fullpointgraphics

I had a wonderful and highly educational time assisting Vivian Horan Fine Art at her booth in the Salon Art & Design fair at the Park Ave Armory this past weekend. It was so much different from any art fair I've worked previously and the quality of work was top notch. Special thanks to Vivian Horan and Loren Alliston for the excellent weekend! #art #artfair #salon #salonartanddesign #salon2015 #design #interiordesign #interiordesigner #fineart #artworld #designer #artcollecting #artcollector #sherrielevine #cindysherman #gerhardrichter #anslemkiefer #roylichtenstein #johnchamberlain #jeffkoons #edruscha #matthewbarney #nangoldin #marcelduchamp #catherineopie #vivianhoranfineart #newyorkcity #nyc #parkavenuearmory

You don't see too many Dickchicken pieces these days. Found this sticker on the Morgan Ave L Train platform. Rumor is, that during his peak, he was public enemy number one in the eyes of Vandal Squad, due to the offensive nature of his imagery. #streetart #sticker #stickerart #looneytoons #tweety #tweetybird #dickchicken #ltrain #morganave #brooklyn #newyorkcity #nyc #graffiti

Drawn from memory by my Grandfather, Weston Emmart, after the war. Reverse says "November 1944 -- Somewhere near Metz. This particular scene is was from the Maginot Line. We had retaken it from the rear (French Side) and found ourselves surrounded for a week. [I had] cold wet feet and chilly damp clothing because we forded a stream about 2 feet deep." - Co. B, 379th Inf. Reg, 95th Division. Patton's Third Army. #veteransday #wwii #worldwar2 #worldwartwo #maginotline #france #metz #patton #thirdarmy #foxhole #grandfather #veteran
