Art on Paper

Jackson Joyce (b. 1994) is a Brooklyn, New York-based artist who seeks to paint a world where things look the way they feel. Pulling inspiration from his life growing up in the south, Jackson’s paintings tell nostalgic and personal stories of past, present and future. Often exaggerating proportions and color to convey off-kilter narratives, Jackson’s paintings occupy an imaginative world all their own.

Rachel Levit Ruiz (b. 1990) is an artist and illustrator based in Mexico City. Her figurative works examine the body and its relationship to the mind, to others, and to the physical world. Her latest series of pastel drawings on paper are inspired by nitrogen as an essential element in all living matter, from the synthesis of cells and proteins in the body to the fertilization of plants, as well as in powerful forces of nature, such as the explosive plume of a volcano. Rachel's work has been featured in The New York Times and The New Yorker.

Xochi Solis (b. 1981) is an Austin, Texas-based mixed media artist. Her works include collaged paintings that explore color, texture, and shape through paint, collected paper ephemera, hand-dyed and marbled paper, plastics, and found images from books and magazines. Through a practiced process of layering materials, incorporating the visual depth and illusions of photographic surfaces, Xochi reflects on the visual complexities in her environment, both natural and cultural. Her work communicates a nuanced narrative about time, place, and sensation while grappling with how to represent an environment where her heritage, body, and dreams for the future co-exist.
