Stephen Glassman’s art is an inquiry of gesture, scale, and social impact - the intuitive gesture on a civic scale. Drawing is at the core. His work first gained international attention creating free-form, large scale bamboo installations in urban sites devastated by the Rodney King Riots, Malibu Fires and Northridge Quake. The works came to serve as symbols of resiliency and connectedness within their neighborhoods and throughout the city. They were art for art’s sake, in a social context, and became the springboard for the permanent large-scale works for which he has become most recognized. Deaf and unable to speak as a young child, art was Glassman’s primary means of communication and expression. He spent years traveling the country as a circus, street and agit-prop artist. Often formidable in scale, the work extends organically from a site and is distinct in its ability to invite, generate and celebrate community. Collaboration is a cornerstone of his practice, and he has produced spectacles, installations and permanent public works throughout North America.  Private studio works are collected internationally, and he is the recipient and subject of many grants, awards and reviews.  Stephen's work can be viewed on his websiteShop Stephen's collection.

Alex! Jimenez I am a Chicana print-maker, illustrator, and designer.  My artistic practice explores my connection to land, culture, and history as a fourth generation Mexican-American in Tucson, AZ.  Specifically, I try and challenge false notions about my community through the use of humor, color, and the Spanish language. My bright palette radiates the vibrancy of my heritage and serves as an entry point for my viewers. The carne (meat) of my work delves into identity within natural and man-made landscapes and brings contemporary issues of social inequality, gentrification/development, and place-making into public discourse. My background in the sciences grounds my process and compels me to create work that is accessible and comprehensible yet rich in meaning. Shop Alex's collection.
