About the Item

Lisa Dinhofer's work is presented in a realist style, deftly creating meticulous portraits of creatures - dragonflies, turtles, birds, bats and grasshoppers - that comprise her surrounding neighborhoods of SoHo and the West Village. Dinhofer refers to her subjects as “our roommates and neighbors.” All of Dinhofer’s subjects are either found by the artist or are offerings from friends. They are rendered on paper in the artist’s studio. Dinhofer’s object-based studies often magnify the subject up to ten times their actual size, celebrating the intricacies and subtleties of New York City’s flora and fauna. The flexibility of color pencil enables the artist to articulate the surface texture and transparency of a cicada wing, the soft plumage of a redheaded sparrow, and the radiating patterns on a tortoise shell.

Untitled (Butterfly) : mixed media work of art

Untitled (Butterfly) : mixed media work of art

By Sara Crisp

Located in New York, NY

Sara Crisp embeds found organic objects such as starfish, butterfly wings and fossils into the wax surfaces of her paintings. They have often been compared to medieval reliquaries, fossilized amber, and naturalist’s journals. Although the placement of the component objects is carefully planned, she comes across these artifacts by chance. This duality between control and spontaneity is prominent in her work. The result is visually seductive and symbolically suggestive, balancing scientific objectivity and romantic subjectivity. Her work comes across as precise, even clinical, at times, their surfaces scored and traversed by carefully measured lines and geometric forms. Carefully fashioned, polygonal sections of mica, a transparent mineral, cover the center of each painting. In addition to celebrating the process involved in creating an object, Crisp’s art...
