Political parties in the United States are fighting against each other and can’t agree on anything. Everyone is in a knot. So I decided to make a literal knot out of the Constitution, held up with a carving of my hands. My hands, my statement. - Robin Antar “U.S. Constitution in a Knot” is a symbolic piece featuring the U.S. Constitution as a document, with all seven articles, tied into a knot, representing the complexities and challenges within the nation's principles. The intertwined form reflects current turmoil, while intricately detailed hands symbolize individual responsibility and the struggle to uphold these values. The sculpture rests on a pile of rough granite chips, highlighting themes of fragmentation and disarray, contrasting with the smooth marble. Overall, it serves as a poignant commentary on the chaotic state of the nation, embodying both despair and determination in the effort to maintain important values amidst societal conflict.

Shahnameh Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 36 x 48 The painting is inspired by childhood memories. Somehow, translations of Persian texts of Ferdowsi's poems Shahnameh penetrated into Siberia behind the Iron Curtain. The phenomenon of a foreign culture that came to the snows of Siberia to surprise and enchant with its exotic fantasy is reflected here in the form of an image of a Persian prince appearing either in a dream or in reality to a Siberian lady.

Two Critical Questions Acrylic Size of Piece: 42 x 51 x 1.5 Hayoon Jay Lee is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the tension between indulgence and abnegation as it exists in terms of mind and body as well as on a socio-political level. Her work locates points of contact between Korean material tradition and Western avant-garde vocabulary by using rice shape and rice as an object, motif, commodity, and metaphor. As a building block of civilizations and a marker of wealth differences, rice allows Lee to conceptually play with points of conflict conceptually — oscillating between attraction and repulsion, between Orient and Occident— with the aim of ultimately encouraging reflection on the different ways our conditions and fates are interlinked. Renowned for integrating rice-inspired motifs and organic, visceral shapes in her paintings, sculptures, installations, performances, and videos, Lee’s work features figures embedded within rice forms. This highlights the deep connection between food and life. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Anastasia. The Firebird Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 30 x 24 Dinner with my nonagenarian friends inspired this piece and is why i called it "Social Hour" I decided to render them through colors and shapes so the focus would be on the connection between them and on the mood of the moment rather than on their features. What I see, hear, feel and experience makes its way into my art. Growing up in multiple cultures influences my work, and my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. I paint mostly in acrylics and gouache and love to experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. At times my work is autobiographical as I aim to tell a story, convey a feeling, or share memories. In Social Hour my focus was on friendship and aging. Through the use of vibrant colors, a sense of movement, and unexpected imagery, I hope the viewer is drawn into my work in a way that provides space for their own interpretation.

Poppies Recycled Brown Bags & Acrylic Collage on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 36 x 2 My work is a reminder of the peaceful, centered energy of the miraculous, natural living world which surrounds us. My collages are made from torn, recycled brown shopping bags that I first paint with acrylics and then rip them and adhere the pieces to canvas. I am interested in the concept that the bags started out as trees and then were made into paper which was torn and collaged into an image of the natural world, which in itself provided the required inspiration and energy. I hope that the viewer thinks that they are looking at beautiful and serene paintings at first glance, then discover that they are viewing a collage that involved a painstaking genesis in the studio. Each is the product of many months or years of work.In addition, the pieces are often autobiographical.

On the Eve of Apocalypse. Portrait of Great-grandmother Anna. Siberia, 1917oil on canvas paintingSize: 24 x 18This painting reflects the story of my great-grandmother. My great-grandmother and great-grandfather lived in Siberia. They were a wealthy family from the upper class. In 1917, the Russian Revolution took place and the civil war began. The communist Bolsheviks who came to power killed the rich and took away their property. My great-grandmother survived, although she lost all her property. The fate of my great-grandfather is unknown. It was impossible to talk about his disappearance. My great-grandmother's son hid his origins, because he was afraid that the new authorities would subject him to repression. Great-grandmother Anna was left alone, without money, without a husband and son and without understanding why she was punished like that. In the painting, great-grandmother Anna sits in her favorite lace blouse, with an album of family photos and forget-me-not flowers in her hands as a symbol of a request for us to remember her. On the small table on which her hand rests is a photograph of the heir to the Russian throne, Tsarevich Alexei. The photograph is a symbol of the great-grandmother's commitment to the old pre-revolutionary order. The fate of the Tsarevich is also tragic. He will be shot with the entire royal family by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The background on which the grandmother is depicted is a symbolic image of her native Siberian city as it was before Revolution, on the eve of Apocalypse.

Terra, the Primordial Breath Acrylic on Canvas, Oil Pastels, Gesso, Inks, Paper Size: 48 x 36" This piece was inspired by the idea of Earth’s very first breath—raw, sacred, and full of potential. The deep, textured browns at the base represent the primordial ground, untouched and alive with energy. I built up layers slowly, letting the textures emerge naturally, almost like the Earth forming itself. The lighter transition at the top suggests air and life beginning to stir—a shift from matter to spirit. I worked intuitively, letting the process mirror nature’s own rhythm of creation and transformation. It’s less about depicting a place and more about capturing a feeling: the quiet power of beginnings.

Moon in the Water Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 48 x 36
My painting was inspired by a phrase used by Master Dogen (1200-1253), the founder of Zen Buddhism, when teaching about the ineffable experience of enlightenment -- "moon in the water". The moon being a symbol of enlightenment and the water referring to the human mind freed of the obscuration of incessant thinking, thus becoming like an empty, open mirror able to clearly reflect the true nature of reality, allowing the direct experience of one's own true nature. "Old pond... frog jumps in kerplop!" --Matsuo Basho

Taiyoacrylic on canvasSize: 48 x 36I wanted to find a way to give people hope and the Japanese culture and Spirituality have always inspired me. The sun (Taiyo) in the Japanese culture is a symbol of life, light and the vital force that sustains all living things. It also symbolizes hope, renewal and new beginnings. I incorporated modern and ancient textile patterns to illustrate the opportunity we have to learn from our past and use that knowledge to transform our future.

Flotsam, Light Shaft in Pinkacrylic on cradled panelSize: 36 x 36"Flotsam, Light Shaft in Pink" presents an abstract narrative describing debris and light bouncing around an enigmatic water environment. The term “flotsam” speaks to a sense of the lost and found. Residing somewhere between landscape, figuration, and narrative, I present landscape elements in terms of parts that are disembodied and ready for arrangement. I like to play with their formal relationships, to jostle any sense of fixed placement. Forms that we might recognize as either shadow or structure become at once horizontal and vertical as they share the painted plane. A leaf can be both a figure in the landscape and a signal about decay. Shape becomes the result of withheld paint as well as applied.

Unstill Life#2oil on stitched canvas and bridal veil fragmentSize: 29 x 22The painted constructions emerge as transmutations of my most resounding responses to the world around and within me. They are not mere representations but transformative expressions born from profound encounters with the natural world. These works memorialize instances of revelation that occur in the space between observation and understanding—ephemeral moments that would otherwise slip away unrecorded. My artistic practice weaves together accumulated experiences, approaching that sense of truth discovered only when fully immersed in the artistic elements. In these moments of complete sensory engagement—when one is simultaneously aware of nature's boundless energy, the boundaries between self and environment dissolve. This construction serves as a vessel for that transcendent understanding that emerges when the senses are fully enmeshed in the natural world. It invites viewers to access their moments of revelation through the layered, textural dialogue between material and memory. Shadows are the natural consequence of being.

Newborn Icharcoal on arches paperSize: 30 x 22.5This drawing ispart of a series entitled ‘In Fraught Times: Tending to Love’. I have felt besieged by unchecked hatred, biases of all kinds, racism, misogyny, an imploding climate, unabated gun violence, and truth as an endangered commodity. As an antidote, I chose to focus on the humanity and lives of those in my familial orbit, to hold them up and celebrate the goodness present in living, striving and evolving. Many of these works marvel at the magic of the moment and honor the purest of encounters with the special little humans in my life. The difficult and satisfying challenge in my portraiture is to portray some unarmed truth and in so doing to suggest our complex humanity, our shared experience. And in defiance of all the negativity and hatred peddled continually, I celebrate goodness, empathy, sincerity and caring.
