Art on Paper

Dan Covert (b. 1981) is a Brooklyn, New York-based artist interested in pushing the emotional and formal limits of abstraction. Dan utilizes a graphic language of organic and decisive forms, and his work explores structuring and ordering these abstract shapes so they appear composed, yet spontaneous. His process leverages digital techniques to sketch and iterate forms, which he ultimately renders with meticulous detail using analog means.

Robert Otto Epstein (b. 1979) is a New Jersey-based artist whose work is heavily inspired by deconstructionist philosophy, writing, language, and systems, and the way these disciplines intersect. His gridded drawings and paintings began after becoming interested in instructional guides for knitting - the guides provide a coded plan for creation that is divorced from scale or context. Robert’s drawings on paper build up a “scaffolding” of between 23,000 and 38,000 individual, meticulously hand-drawn squares to create works that evoke pixelated JPGs or rich tapestries, finally removing what remains of the grid to bring the patterned object into focus. He studied philosophy and political science at the University of Pittsburgh and law at the University of Durham in the UK.

Erin D. Garcia was born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1979, and lives in Los Angeles. His work is a joyful exploration of shape, color, and process populated by plants and flowers, rhythmic figures, and colorful gradients that search where our capacity for abstraction intersects or conflicts with the sensory desire for specificity.

Erin has exhibited worldwide alongside installations and projects for Louis Vuitton, Facebook, Pulse Art Fair, Oakley, Diesel, Adidas, United Arrows, Ace Hotels, Ginza Six, Vans, and Moog.
