We will be exhibiting two different artists from the New Contemporary genre.
ERIC EYEBALL RICHARDSON "THE MINDS EYE"
Eric Richardson was born in a small town in Northwest Indiana. As a young man, while out watching the corn grow, his imagination overtook the scenery and his pens and paint brushes overtook his notebooks. With prompting, he studied illustration at the American Academy of Art (1996) and then fully re-located to Chicago. Over the next decade, in addition to becoming accomplished in oversized set-design, Richardson exhibited public and commercial murals and sculptures both regionally and nationally. Combining these skills, a hell of a lot of leftover childhood imaginings, and inspiration from the (ever popular) low brow art movement, he created what you see here; his canvas.
As an artist, “Eyeball” Richardson wants to encourage the viewer to follow the movement of paint and feel the radiating power that lies underneath vibrant color. A can of spilled paint and globs of erratic color at a prop studio can inspire a new painting. Staring at the splattered floor becomes a theme, and then an image. He wants us to follow the journey through his eyeballs and see the humor that is anywhere you choose to look.
Eric Richardson currently paints from his new studio in Sunnyside, Queens NY.
SIEN is a multilayered Artquarian who celebrates his birth date with Charles Darwin’s and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays on February 12, 197Sumthing. Born in the city of New York.
Documenting the streets of New York from an early age, SIEN’s life and art has been influenced by the graffiti, poverty, and the tuff love New York is known for. SIEN records his daily missions of life through a combination of mediums including illustration, graffiti, and, a wide-range of multi-media. SIEN is an Illustrator and a Professor currently teaching digital media arts at TCI College in New York City. In his spare time he curates shows in New York City, exhibiting graffiti and photography sometimes merging the two mediums to create a dynamic fusion of artists.
A re-instated writer since 2008, SIEN’s work has graced the rural walls of the Bronx painting masterfully illustrated murals, in the neighborhood where he spent most of his childhood years. With over a dozen public murals scattered within the five boroughs of NYC, SIEN’s work remains in the public eye engaging a younger generation of street art enthusiasts with abstract compositions and mood altering color.

SIENIDE "DALICASSO"
The DALICASSO series is a series of iconic figures transformed into Salvador Dali esque images. The series was inspired by Sienide's artquarian brother / painter Jason Cosme who is in rehabilitation as a result of a head injury. The paintings in this series are dedicated to Jason Cosme and his family.
