Innovative street artist Swoon originally conceived of this work as part of her installation for the influential “Art in the Streets” exhibition curated by Jeffrey Deitch at THE Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.  The work (and its title) is made in honor for her grandmother who was nicknamed “Ice Queen.”

This lovely, shrine-like depiction of a cat is fitting for the companionship pets are offering us during this quarantine. Priced at only $750, this Margot Bird work would be a great addition to a favorite art and cat lover’s collection.

The Victorians loved majestic Scottish landscapes and particularly those by Alfred de Breanski. In this example the dramatic sunlight on the loch contrasts with the peaceful water where the Highland cattle have gathered to drink.

“The source of my art is the comprehension and channeling of strong emotions stemming from observation, current events or epiphanic memory: thoughts of environmental devastation; or blatant injustice; or peak moments of optimism and ecstasy,” wrote the artist Bratsa Bonifacho, about his practice. Although this particular work was created six years ago, it feels, for me, very timely. The words speak loudly — a sudden change in our reality shouldn’t stop us but keep us looking forward.

Wilfredo Prieto, Historias de tigres, crímenes y traiciones (2020). Courtesy of Galeria Habana.

Wilfredo Prieto typically focuses on conceptual sculptures and installations, so it is refreshing to encounter his practice in small-scale painting. These works teeter between his known Minimalism and contemporary sensual abstraction. One can both contemplate the painting through its title to decipher Prieto’s political satire or enjoy it for its fun use of color against the raw linen.

Amy Bessone, Untitled (Red Vines) (2018). Courtesy of Salon 94.

American artist Amy Bessone’s work explores the female nude in different contexts, from historic representations to kitschy modern ones. This stunning watercolor nude showcases the medium at its best by combining bold lines with a wet technique. It’s the kind of work I’d love to add to my collection.

Can you imagine being back at the beach? Feeling the water on your feet and the wind in your face? When I saw this beautiful beach landscape by the German artist Ida Kerkovius, I could immediately feel the salty and sunny atmosphere. You can see more works of the artist at Edition Domberger.

Thelma Appel, Times Square I (2014). Courtesy of Alpha 137.

Thema Appel is known for her vibrant cityscapes. Here, she paints the iconic Manhattan locale of Times Square with colorful patterns that mimic the hustle and bustle of the city’s energy. This painting shows what I miss the most about Manhattan during these difficult times and what we all look forward to having back.

Julie Umerle, Octagon (Red) (2018). Courtesy of the artist.

Octagon (Red) is part of a series of small paintings by Julie Umerle in which the artist isolates a bold shape within the confines of the space, tightly positioned within the square of the canvas. The geometric, minimal, and hard-edged effect of the painting is quite bold.
