  • Robert Otto EpsteinMaplewood, NJ

    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.

  • Diana DelgadoNew York, NY

    Diana Delgado (b. 1982) is an abstract painter whose work focuses on 'in-between' places that can exist in a painting. Her individual gestures or lines might be used to create a sense of rhythm as easily as it could describe the contour of an object in her large scale work. These layered pieces weave together described forms and recognizable imagery with painted patterns and gestures, emphasizing color and the specificity of these objects. Delgado earned her MFA in Painting from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA and currently lives and works in Westchester, New York.

  • Ashok SinhaNew York, NY

    Ashok Sinha (b.1975) is a New York-based photographer whose large-scale photographs capture a sense of place tied to both natural landscapes and built environments. His images feature uncommon perspectives where the horizon is often delegated to the bottommost third of the image or removed entirely. Sinha’s photographs have been published by National Geographic and The New York Times, and exhibited at The Museum of the City of New York, the International Center of Photography, and The Royal Photographic Society.
