Through the millennia, artists have used their talents to reflect the human condition surrounding them. Benton Spruance (1904 – 1967) was a pioneering lithographer whose body of work spans roughly 50 years. He regularly referenced classical myths, bible verse, and the politics of the times in works focusing on philosophy and life’s meaning. Alvaro Naddeo (born 1972) is a Brazilian artist currently working out of Los Angeles. His aesthetic focuses on waste, overconsumption, and social inequality. Alvaro regularly depicts the fantastical reuse of discarded items – objects with an inherent duality, both desirable and despicable. Two different styles, two different times, the same human struggles.
Check out T.W.I.G.! We’ll be featuring artists for month long exhibition throughout the year.
Working with art every day, it’s easy for us to take these visual gifts for granted. In this business, we understand the reasoning behind “just putting something on the wall” to brighten up a space and make it more inviting. But being passionate about what we do means delving into the people behind the art. We want to explore their body of work, and the message it brings. That’s why we’ve decided to share some of our favorite works, and encourage you to learn, enjoy, and collect. Please CLICK HERE to see Alvaro Naddeo’s website, and CLICK HERE to see the vast body of work Benton Spruance created during his lifetime.
Through August of 2019, enjoy select works from Benton M Spruance and Alvaro Nadeo.
