MMXX Anno Domini 20th Anniversary Exhibition


Shepard Fairey / Obey Giant August 2000 Anno Domini


Anno Domini // the second coming of Art & Design celebrates 20 years of street art, subculture, and art as activism exhibitions by visionary artists at the forefront of our current urban contemporary art movement.

Our curatorial vision was one of independence and rebellion and the art work that moves us the most comes from those same principles although in extremely diverse forms of it. Painters, illustrators, tattoo artists, woodcarvers, low-rider bike makers, sign painters, tech artists, spoken word poets, performance artists, live loopers and musicians make up our family tree and legacy. The thread that binds us all is our hope that those that experience the work by these artists will find a truth and beauty in these images & performances of not only what is, but perhaps more importantly, what can be.

We are truly honored to have worked with these artists and the hyper-local to global community of admirers and collectors we've met along the way. We look forward to the next 20 years with you all.

The "First Decade" exhibition dates: September 18–October 17, 2020.
The "Second Decade" exhibition dates: November 6–December 12, 2020.

Jennifer Caviola _ Separated Into Parts

Jennifer Caviola (b. 1979, U.S.)
Separated Into Parts
acrylic on wood panel, 18" x 18", 2020
🔴SOLD.


Jennifer Caviola (aka Cake) had a solo exhibition entitled The Bride Series in September 2014 Anno Domini.

About the Artist
With an earnest commitment to contribute to the conversation of universal recovery from generational trauma, Caviola’s work seeks to explore the role of painting as facilitator of ancestral clearing.  

Caviola uses portraiture as a vehicle for delivery and as means of recording elusive states of existence that can sometimes get lost in passing, with the goal of each painting to have had complete transference onto the material of wood panel through acrylic paint via brushwork. The act of painting becomes a salve, and once completed, the resulted portrait exists with autonomy, and with that the promising possibility for a private exchange with the person who encounters it. 

Jennifer Caviola received her BFA in Painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York in 2002 and her MFA from Parsons in New York City in 2007. She has had solo shows in New York City, Brooklyn, and California and has participated in group shows throughout the United States, Europe and the Middle East. She has been featured in publications such as Vogue, The Huffington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Complex Magazine, Papermag, Juxtapoz and High Fructose.

About the Artist
I try to position myself so as to have _____ find me, possess me, and to create through me. It's always feeding time but I don't always come around. More often now than before anyways. I know now there is a philosophy that lays it all out but I only recently put the heart and the pen to work. What can be written down - I now bother to find it. I draw a map. It's a kind of ritual of a reverse hunt. Makes sense? And for all the explaining I can muster, I just can't bring you to it. But I hope the side-effects.. the carnage in its wake is like a little gift you can take into your homes.

MonkeyBird _ Visionnaire

MonkeyBird (est. 2010, France)
Visionnaire
gandmade stencil, spray paint, acrylic on oak wood, 46" x 36", 2019
$4,460.


MonkeyBird's debut U.S. solo exhibition was Sediments in November 2019 at Anno Domini.

About tthe Artists
MonkeyBird is the collaboration of two French artists, who have chosen to transcribe social themes into mural fables, through the representation of totem animals with elaborate symbolism. 

The bird is used as the personification of the human soul from which the notions of freedom, escape and mind games derive. The monkey refers to the primitive human condition and to the means implemented to resist our own nature. It therefore echoes the principles of architecture and social apparatus. MonkeyBird encourage humans to find the right balance between material obsessions and fantasies of freedom in order to build themselves as a social animal. Their inspiration is mainly drawn from sacred or lyrical works such as illuminations, stained glass windows, architectural ornamentation but also fantastic illustrations from the "Arts and Crafts" period or Japanese prints. 

The two artists began to work in the streets before moving to the walls of museums and institutions. However, they do not abandon their first place of expression and multiply the techniques and visual experiences depending on the space selected: stencils, engravings, linocuts, research into subtractions of the material, drawings, cutouts or canvas posters. glass. Artists with striking graphic originality, they feed the international urban landscape with the poetry of their works.

Poesia _ Reinterpretation of Carravaggio's Depositio

Poesia (b. 1975, U.S.)
Reinterpretation of Carravaggio's Depositio
Reclaimed colorplate, acrylic, enamel, 15" x 12", 2020
$870.


Poesia's debut U.S. solo exhibition was More Force Than Judgement in September 2012 at Anno Domini. A.D. also hosted the Graffuturism 6-Year Anniversary Group Exhibit curated by Poesia in May 2016.

About the Artist
Ever since I can remember I have always written my name, whether it was on walls or a piece of paper scribbling it over and over again the same letters “Poesia” have been scribbled 10’s of thousands of times. 25 years later my work still references this repetitive act of mark making. Graffiti was my introduction to art and remains a key inspiration. My artwork references my involvement painting graffiti as an adolescent and as an adult as well as graffiti’s temporary nature as a medium. Painting public art has allowed me to utilize my experience to create larger work who’s impact seems more immediate, even if impermanent. Being influenced by the do it yourself nature of painting in the streets I have incorporated this into my studio work as well. The act of painting remains an important aspect of my oeuvre, as much as the idea of leaving a physical mark behind. Not being a formerly trained artist I have instead relied upon my knowledge and personal experiences painting in public throughout the years to build on. Utilizing new mediums and techniques such as Spray paint have allowed me to utilize traits learned over the years. The need to paint quick and fast is a physical aspect of my work that I embrace.

The act of painting is as much as an influence as graffiti has been on me personally. I choose to produce in multiple series of works. These range from my Old Master series, collage, to gestural and geometric abstract paintings. I also take this approach when painting on walls with different series of work ranging from letter based, to abstract non representational murals. This approach allows me to expand ideas not with one painting or wall at a time, instead I can create large bodies of work pushing through ideas. I paint in a range of mediums and scale utilizing multiple mediums ranging from large scale Insitu installations, Murals and studio work. Insitu (Site Specific) installations have become a new direction for me, these abandoned areas and temporary murals have allowed me to further my experimentation in graffiti and the ephemeral nature of our art form. Placing or removing material from these locations is a newer medium that I am exploring through collage, photography and sculpture.

I have shown internationally in cities including. Milan, Hawaii, Glasgow, London, Paris, San Jose, Miami, Oakland, Monaco, San Francisco, Portland and Los Angeles. I have also traveled internationally painting murals or installations in cities such as Barcelona, Brighton, Glasgow, Miami, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Paris, Cannes, San Francisco, Perpignon, Oakland, Tijuana, Hawaii, and New York.

I am also the founder of the website Graffuturism.com that has led to the Graffuturist group or Graffuturism Movement. Graffuturism was founded in 2010 and has now exhibited as a group in 6 major cities around the world including Paris, Los Angeles, London, Glasgow, Miami and San Jose. With a group consisting of some of today’s top contemporary painters Graffuturism has established itself as an emerging movement in today’s Art scene. Graffuturism as a group was named #5 on the list of most important artists of 2012 by Complex magazine.

Dale Marshall DvNM _ Untilted

Dale Marshall DvNM (b. 1974, U.K.)
Untitled
hand finished giclée print A/P on Hahnemuhle 310gsm German paper, 11.5" x 16.5", 2020
$225.


Dale Marshall has had two solo exhibitions with Anno Domini including his U.S. debut solo exhibition The California State Institution in April 2012 and Orbital—cut up and rewired in October 2015.

About the Artist
Marshall is a contemporary fine art painter currently residing in Bristol England with spells of residency in Wales and most recently Ireland. A graduate of one of California’s finest art schools, California State University Long Beach (CSULB), and of Coventry University he has had numerous successful solo exhibitions in London and the USA, in particular his first major solo exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum Walls with Wounds (February-May) in 2014.

Marshall’s career began over twenty-five years ago as a precocious young graffiti artist on the streets of Bath and Bristol. Outside on brick and concrete walls, Marshall would paint his own rendition of poetry which challenged the graffiti stereotype under the moniker ‘VERMIN’ with bold biographical statements . To Marshall, the walls were sacred. They recorded his own personal journey and the words he wrote on them had power and enduring meaning. Marshall enjoyed this form of expressive freedom and youthful rebellion but it ultimately brought upon him the gritty consequences of street culture, which for Marshall led to drug use and psychotic episodes.

In 1999 he was sectioned in one of Britain’s oldest asylums commonly known as the Cornwall County (Lunatic) Asylum. He suffered clinical depression for another seven years until he self discharged from antipsychotic medication.

The walls from the street have now been replaced by inspiration of the crumbling walls of his former Victorian workhouse studio in rural Wales, mixed with his own biographical story and journey from the streets to 'post graffiti' on canvas. These walls and this building not only have inspired but have become an intrinsic part of his multimedia work and it is no coincidence that the building Marshall chose to work in has a strikingly similar environment to the institution in which he was forced to reside in Cornwall. Marshall continues to use text and his moniker from his graffiti days to form the body of all his paintings. The works are multi layered and heavily textured, utilising a variety of mediums and methods with a strong emphasis on the paint process and mark making. Dale's aims are to give the viewer a window to his soul and tormented past, a form of self portraiture where the graffiti is now portrayed in the form of a wound that is the starting point to create memorable tension where pain meets perfection and light just about overshadows darkness to create these compelling original works.

Marshall is proud to challenge the stigma about mental health by sharing and documenting his own personal experience of mental illness through his painting. He draws on past memories and emotions, each painting standing as a testament that with attention and nurturing cracks and chaos can be transformed into beauty and peace.

To view Marshall’s work one can perceive the pain and chaos the young artist experienced and yet it is this exact pain and chaos the artist now embraces.

Each canvas is an attempt to reflect a balance of the frightening and the beautiful through instinctive mark making.

Dale Marshall has had numerous successful solo exhibitions in London and the USA as well as outside walls around the world. His works are held in private and public collections worldwide.

Yescka _ Frida Punk

Yescka (b. 1984, Mexico)
Frida Punk
stencil, acrylic on canvas, 47” x 39”
$2400.

Yescka was a featured artist in Asamblea de Artistas Revolucionarios de Oaxaca (ASARO Collective) group exhibition in August 2017 Anno Domini.

About the Artist
In 1998, at the age of 15, Yescka began to paint graffiti on the streets of the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, hence his passion for Art and entered the School of Fine Arts of the Autonomous University Benito Juárez.

His interest in taking art to the streets is clear, in 2006 when a very large political-social movement arises in Oaxaca from which Yescka takes up street art to express the social disagreement that exists in Oaxaca.

In the same year, Yescka unites with various artists who converge and decide to form one of the most prominent groups in Oaxaca, ASARO (Assembly of Revolutionary Artists of Oaxaca), in order to make an art more committed to society in which their feelings and disagreement are reflected.

Most of Yescka's art is exposed in the streets, since for the urban artist it is very important to bring art to open spaces where the public is much wider and there is a more direct communication with the viewer. For the Artist, art is a tool which helps us to communicate, because for him it is the oldest language that has worked to generate realities that promote development, empathy, development and human sensitivity.

YESCKA has collaborated with institutions such as the UN and was the artist interviewed by Antony Bourdain during his visit to Mexico in 2014 for his CNN program “Parts Unknown”. He has participated in exhibitions and made interventions in different parts of the world such as Germany, Spain, USA, Sweden, Switzerland, France, UK, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Cuba.

Saint Baby of My Heart
digital drawing, giclée print, 28" x 20", 2020
$150.


Marco Tóxico exhibited with Anno Domini in Taco de Ojo, a group exhibition by the Latino Toons Collective in February, 2015.


My name is Marco Antonio Rolando Guzmán Rocabado but as it is a terrible name, I sign my works as Marco Toxico. I was born in La Paz, Bolivia, in 1982. I dedicate myself to illustration, posters and comics. Making posters and illustrations gives me money to live, making comics doesn't, but it's what I like the most.

My work is published in magazines, books, and anthologies around the world, including Volume 4 of Illustration Now! by Taschen. I have five books and several fanzines, almost all self-published. I have a trepanned skull and I like fried chicken.

Various and Gould _ Momentum

Various & Gould (Germany)
Momentum
screen-print, collage, acrylic and aerosol on 6 wood panels, UV protection varnish, 29" x 32", 2020
$2600.


Various & Gould exhibited with Anno Domini with the solo show "Permanently Improvised" in April, 2016.

About the Artist
The Berlin based artist duo Various & Gould works in close collaboration since 2005. Various & Gould are known for constantly reinventing themselves. Their creation is based on the simple but striking formula 1+1=3. Whilst methods of screen-printing and collage are their speciality, their art can also emerge in a public performance or an installation as they like crossing borders and do not stick to a certain medium. Mutual passions including their love of paper, enthusiasm for accidental beauty in everyday life and art in urban space form the core of their artistic practice.

Various & Gould often deal with socially prominent themes such as work, migration, gender, death, religion or the financial crisis in a playful, intuitive manner.

Sergej Vutuc _ Original Photos

Sergej Vutuc (Bosnia)

Sergei Vutuc had a solo exhibition and sound art performance entitled Intimations of Substantiality Beneath in February 2018.

About the Artist
Since the mid 1980s Vutuc’s work has been about observing the (over)development of modern society and the privatization of public space; nature being conquered by concrete, concrete being conquered by the subversive act of skating. The work is based in nomadic movement through space and time, an endless sense of mobility, existence in between cities, countries, borders, worlds etc. Contested spaces, such as Fukushima, Detroit, Chernobyl, Israel and Palestine–strong symbols of ongoing human error and conflict, mistakes and misdirections in socioeconomic development.

Then there is the documentation of this ever-shifting landscape (physical and symbolic) through analog photography, publishing zines, mounting exhibitions, making music, drawing on walls, constant collaboration (as the essence of human creative exchange) and generally non-stop action and movement; fragmenting, altering, rearranging reality over and over, as necessary.

But one must also follow the natural human urge to expand one’s consciousness, to live in parallels, through imagination and it is here that Vutuc makes his departure to embark on a new series of work entitled Intimations of Substantiality Beneath. This exhibition begins a journey between exploring the landscape of flesh and passing moments on the way to somewhere; held in between, chosen by moment, by light, and by the energy drawn on the moment. It’s a melting point of Vutuc’s two latest publications: “there was something on the fence” and “jenseits von innen” (“beyond inside)”.

Vutuc sees the “scratching on the surface of blurry dream and fantasy as the only existing reality based on self creation.” The analog photo process allows for altering and scratching the film; another manipulation and questioning of (documented) reality. Adding to his poetic imagery music and sound allows an instant connection with the viewer, and reaction from an audience. All of this combined unifies the space of the work and allows a complete transformative experience. The energy created in this visual/soundscape confronts the viewer, challenging them to (re)see the strength and fragility of human relationships, family, tradition, intimacy, personal and global conflict. Vutuc’s work functions to shift our perception of reality, humanity, and society in general.

Vutuc currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

The artist's work deals with observations on people surrounding him; the lovers and fighters, party-ers, the thinkers, the dancers and the damned.

Through his work, the artist attempts to document the energy the human race creates, the wisdom, morals, values or lack of them that they pass on. While conducting this research, he communicates the subjects’ movement and energy, on a variety of surfaces-from found wood to city walls, using various mediums and techniques without judgment, using these components as a metaphor for forgiveness, hoping to show the human race as it is, in the most authentic and honest way he feels possible.

Dima Drjuchin is an artist/musician who was born in Moscow, but grew up making images and sounds in New York City. Wielding the culmination of human potential wrought from the depths of the bicameral mind, Drjuchin’s art is a hyperdimensional machine that invokes creatures who come bounding forward with affection and recklessness. These are not the Icons of the Byzantine Church—they are the new Incarnated Symbols of the Multiverse. Drjuchin allows us a glimpse into a fractulated moment of cultural hypnagogic modality and an opportunity to alter our perspectives of reality.

Addam Yekutieli aka Know Hope debut solo exhibition and site specific installation Temporary Residence at Anno Domini in October 2008 Anno Domini.


About the Artist
Addam Yekutieli aka Know Hope
Over the past decade, Addam Yekutieli (pseudonym Know Hope) has developed a visual iconography and language used to mirror real-life situations and observations, and document the notion of a collective human struggle. 

By creating parallels between political situations and emotional conditions, there is an attempt to perceive the political process and dialogue as an emotional mechanism, therefore making it a process that can be understood and participated in intuitively and not solely intellectually. 

These processes take place both indoors and outdoors, in the form of site-specific installations, murals and assemblages, combining ready-made materials, mixed media pieces, photographs and text. 

By placing these works in public spaces, Yekutieli aims to make the separation between the emotional and political non-existent, and allow the viewers to see themselves in the larger context of their surroundings simply by recognizing each other. 

Yekutieli lives and works in Tel Aviv.

Navin Norling _ Goldie _ Sneaker Toss

Navin June Norling (b.1970, U.S.)
Goldie, 2020 (sneaker toss)
spray paint, gold leaf, Nike Air Jordan Size 14
$1000.

Navin Norling's west coast gallery debut was Bootleg Baby solo exhibition May 2006 at Anno Domini.

About the Artist
My work is connected to both urban and rural sensibilities. It examines classic Americana imagery against an urban backdrop of found materials to confront and comment upon popular culture and its signifiers, sayings, folklore and materialism. I was raised in suburban Northern California but spent summers on my grandfather's farm in California's central valley. My art is infused with the rugged relics of that rural setting. Nothing on the farm ever went to waste; all was recycled and re-used. The idea of finding alternative use in something abandoned and infusing it with these inspirations is an integral part of my work.

I have lived in New York City since the early 1990s. My art is a dynamic dialogue between modern pop-based imagery, urban graffiti inspired color palettes, found objects covered in urban grit and the richness of rural America. The result is an anthology of provocative sculptural objects and paintings that examines the rich American cultural landscape using humor and irony.

The act of processing city life and all of its textures and colors informs my work. The structures of the city, tattered and strewn with graffiti and urban detritus, begin to tell the viewer of the lives being lived inside the city’s walls. As an urban artist, all that is around me inspires me. I salvage through trash bins to recover materials as varied as windowpanes and wheelchairs. I create work that is made from the remnants of lives once lived and people gone before me. The images are significant in my personal as well as in our collective American history for their representation of and commentary on issues of power, class, geography, capitalism and inequality.

breathe
medium: acrylic and colored pencil on cotton paper, 17" x 17"
🔴 SOLD.

Saner's debut gallery exhibition was confesiones de una mascara in April 2009 at Anno Domini.

About the Artist
Edgar "SANER" Flores, contemporary artist, painter, illustrator and graphic designer, was born in Mexico City in 1981, son of Oaxacan mother and Hidalguense father, the third child of 5 siblings. From an early age, he was interested in drawing and caricature, developing his first strokes at the age of 3 years and continuing into graffiti as a teenager, later graduating as Bachelor of Graphic Design at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, FES Acatlán.

As a child he grew up in the State of Mexico and vacationed surrounded by his mother's family in the city of Matias Romero Oaxaca, it was then that he began to be interested in Mexican culture and tradition, especially masks. Ever since the last year of his degree and up to 5 years after he was dedicated to designing and advertising, later to fully engage in the graphic arts, developing initially with grafitti and specializing in mural painting and easel painting; with Saner now converting from a pseudonym to his artistic signature.

The work of Saner is well known for representing situations of everyday life, adapted to their hermeneutical language, forming both a political and social discourse, through characters with pre-Hispanic reminiscences and various paradoxes that create profound reflections on the essence and connection with the inside.

Masks are the main element in the work of Saner, influenced by the Mexican folklore with characters and animals such as jaguars, coyotes, gods and skulls; referring to the emotions that represents each character showing its true face and reflecting the mysticism of Mexican culture.

Saner is one of the most representative contemporary artists of the century for Mexico and the world. ~ Lizbeth Hidalgo V.

Lucien Shapiro's debut gallery exhibition was 1 WORLD let the world begin in February 2005 at Anno Domini.

About the Artist
Lucien Shapiro was born in 1979 in Santa Rosa, CA. He attended San Francisco Academy of Art University and received a BFA in 2003. Since then, he’s developed multiple practices, held residencies all over the country, and presented his work at solo exhibitions. The underlying and concurrent theme of Shapiro’s work revolves around painstaking repetition, meticulous attention to craft, and the transformation of everyday objects. He composes elaborately constructed masks and ornately armored weaponry and vessels, which examine a relationship between modern waste and memories of ancient cultural artifacts. Practices and customs from the past are brought back to light through his revival of discarded materials, transformed into objects analogous with self-protection. A laborious craft and meditative consumption of time transforms forgotten objects into nostalgically interesting and beautiful relics that compel viewers to reevaluate what our everyday possessions represent and mean to us. In an age of consumption, waste, addiction, and destruction, Shapiro’s work is vitally needed and relevant. Employing the theories of natural growth such as branches, root systems, and crystals, his work continues circling around to similar conclusions: that the end result is the same no matter what the work is; it always leads to personal growth and self-realization.

AJ Fosik is an American artist who creates intricate, vividly colored three-dimensional pieces that reference folk art, taxidermy, and cultural rituals. Using hundreds of pieces of wood and found materials, he creates figurative and intricately designed three-dimensional works. His animal subjects and creatures are built using a complex assemblage of hand cut and varnished wood, painted in bright hues and layered into lattice patterns to create furry or feathered texture. Sharp teeth, claws and eyes emerge when the creatures are complete - some are constructed as freestanding sculptures while others are wall-mounted to a frame, referencing taxidermy practices.

Ideas of empathy and synthesis are a common duality in the work, whereby the anthropomorphized figures communicate the basic human condition. Totems and fetishes, as well as the “random, chaotic and arbitrary nature of existence,” fascinate Fosik; though less overt, the animals he creates represent a plethora of icons from various theologies, giving them the subversiveness of a cast of fictional, anti-religious gods. The artist delights in the endless interpretations the works have inspired in his viewers.

AJ Fosik has exhibited his works in numerous galleries throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.

Emek _ Rage Against the Machine

Emek (b. 1970, Israel)
Rage Against the Machine War Machine
screenprint limited edition, 1996
NFS.

Emek Silkscreened Rock Aaarght! solo exhibition at Anno Domini in August 2000.

About the Artist
Emek graduated with a Major in Art, and a Minor in Unemployment. His first poster commission was done immediately after the L.A. riots/uprising of 1992, for a unity rally and concert held on Martin Luther King Day. “On scratchboard, I depicted an image of Martin Luther King Jr., rising above a concert crowd. No copies of this poster remain, but it does hold special meaning for me as the seed of my career”.

In Emek’s posters, psychedelic ‘60s imagery collides with ‘90s post-industrial iconography. To this collision of the organic vs. the mechanical worlds he adds humor, social commentary and fantasy. Even in the smallest details there are messages. All of Emek’s artwork is originally hand-drawn and then hand- silkscreened for each actual concert or event, usually in limited editions.



So far, his unique visual style has graced music posters on a diverse musical spectrum, from Blues legend B.B. King to the Beastie Boys. He has painted album covers for Neil Young and Pearl Jam as well as for many punk and alternative bands. He was invited to exhibit at the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame “History of Rock Posters” exhibition and has been featured in national and international magazines. As you read this, his work is permanently displayed in Hard Rock Cafes worldwide and shown in galleries across the United States, Berlin, London and Tokyo. In December 2007, Billboard named the top 25 rock posters of all time. EMEK garnered 3 spots on the list, the most of any single artist. In 2016, Emeks' Art swept the Pollstar Poster of the Year Awards being awarded first, second and third places.

Sam3 _ Cats in the Garden

Sam3 (b. 1980, Spain)
Cats in the Garden
cyanotype on 300gr watercolor paper, 1/1 edition.
🔴 SOLD.

Sam3 debut gallery exhibition was in September 2009 Anno Domini with Exsitu Insitu. All the paintings on canvas and the accompanying animation in the exhibit were created on-site at the gallery in the 10 days leading up to his opening night.

About the Artist
Sam3 is known for creating massive scale silhouettes in urban spaces. He refers to his dramatic black and white works as “shadows.” The absence of defining details in his paintings allows for him to not only work quickly, but also makes the message more accessible. His seemingly simple style is dense with profundity; the work is a reflection of the human condition as viewed through the experience of his global travels.

Sam started drawing and painting at an early age. His first drawing classes were from a monk at the monastery near his home. When he was 13 he was fascinated with the graffiti culture in his small town and stole spraypaint from local shopkeepers (he was caught by police the first time he went out to write his moniker “BREAK.”) The following years were spent trading photos and zines with other graffiti artists through the mail.

After graduating with a fine arts degree from a Granada university, he worked as waiter, a roadie, an illustrator in Barcelona, and then in animation in Madrid for a year before he “slammed the door on alienation” and abandoned the path of a corporate future. In 2006, Sam made a vow to dedicate his life to his art and has since created murals all across the globe leaving metaphorical images that are to be deciphered and “owned” by the community.

Her metalwork incorporates the animal figure and traditional ornamental devices to interpret the ways in which we humans manipulate our environment and the creatures in it to suit our needs. In 2019 she participated in the GLEAN artist residency at the Portland Metro Transfer station, collecting discarded plastics and making chased copper molds to recycle the plastic into ornamental scrollwork animals for A Herd, A Plague, A Murmuration. When not working on art or jewelry, she makes stop-motion puppet armatures at Shadowmachine animation studio.

$1050.


Gilbert1 has participated in several group exhibitions at Anno Domini including the international group show Graffuturism 6-year Anniversary Exhibit in May 2016.

About the Artist
Coming from the graffiti scene (which he started in the early 2000s), he rolls out his art from wall to web, from photography to installations, from sculpture to painting. This remarkable, multidisciplinary self-taught artist has found how to go beyond reality that affects him and a society he cannot understand, by using all tools and mastering all techniques. His fragile looking works depict the torments inside, while his source materials betray their violence. Yet his vivid colours convey hope.

While all seems to be chaos, Gilbert1 meticulously rebuilds, repaints and fixes matter and materials. He reinvents and uses the objects that riddle his quest, while colouring, installing and positioning them. He turns them into frail sculptures, monumental paintings or obvious installations (like that produced in 2012 for the Bains Douche artistic residence in Paris).

He claims to be in love with Mathieu’s gestures and influenced by the work of Miro, Tapies and Picasso. He is a child of Raw Art, attached to « graffuturism », Gaudi’s architecture and the works of Georges Rousse. Yet Gilbert1 is above all inspired by the places he visits (where he still paints and holds artistic residence) and by the history that marks the man and his time. By the architecture he explores and the streets he contemplates. He turns his colours into a tool. He does not fill in or hide, he reveals. Keenly attached to the real-life experience of his finds, he extracts their essence, diverts their meaning and gives them new life.

He has exhibited and painted in Paris, Lyon, St Etienne, Marseille, Stuttgart, Rome, Barcelona, New York, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Francisco or even Berlin. He now lives in Nancy. ~Valériane Mondot

Paulo Nimer Pjota _ Untitled

Paulo Nimer Pjota (b. 1988 Brazil)
Untitled
mixed media on raw canvas, 20" x 18", 2009 A.D.
NFS.

Pjota's debut gallery exhibit in the U.S. was in August 2009 at Anno Domini.

About the Artist
Paulo Nimer Pjota was born in Sao Jose do Rio Preto, Brazil in 1988.. He studied at the University Center of Fine Arts of São Paulo earning his Bachelor of Visual Arts. He is an artist of many mediums and prefers to work on large surfaces.

Each canvas is treated as a sketchbook of sorts in where you find a collection of images with no particular placement but each image intentionally. Pjota suggests an open narrative in no particular order but the order in which the viewer's imagination takes. His work confronts the viewer with a string of juxtapositions. The archeological artifacts are compared with soda cans, still lifes overshadowed by war and popular culture meets what once was.

James Marshall aka DALEK
Space Monkey blah
acrylic on cardboard, 26" x 16", circa 1999
NFS.

James Marshall / DALEK (b. 1968) exhibited with a solo exhibition in March 2001 Anno Domini.

About the Artist
Merging animation, Japanese pop art, and an urban aesthetic, James Marshall is best known for his Space Monkey character—a strange, vaguely humanoid mouse that he would depict in an array of bright colors and twisted circumstances, often wielding a butcher’s cleaver. Working under the name Dalek, Marshall expressed his ideas through the Space Monkey character until 2007, when he began working in a purely abstract style. He has always been engaged in skateboard and graffiti subcultures, and Marshall cites his two-year assistantship in the studio of controversial Japanese artist Takashi Murakami as a formative experience.

Marshall was born to a military family in New London, Connecticut and moved around a lot as a kid, finishing high school in Japan then living in Hawaii briefly before returning to the mainland.  The artist found his voice and identity in the subcultures of graffiti, punk rock and skateboarding. He earned a BA in Sociology and Anthropology from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1992 and acquired his BFA at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago in 1995.

First rendered on a wall in Connecticut in 1995, the Space Monkey that has become synonymous with his name grew and evolved from Marshall’s love for Japanese pop culture, the “vibe” of the punk scene, street art and cartoons. Marshall maintains that the Space Monkey is not a monkey at all, but a mouse—his concept of a human being lost in a growing sea of technology and convenience.  Space Monkey became Dalek’s alter ego, a medium through which he expressed his emotions, ideas and concerns.

David Choe _ Untitled

David Choe
Untitled
spray paint, acrylic on wood, 40" x 24", 2006
Please inquire for price.

Street artist David Choe's first exhibition (outside of an ice cream shop and a hair salon) was in 2002 at Anno Domini. Choe returned to the gallery with solo exhibitions in 2003, and 2006 A.D.

About the Artist:
Long famous for his fine-art work which has garnered the respect, admiration and adulation of institutions, museums, high-profile collections and fans around the world, David Choe is just as competent in front of a camera as he is on a canvas.

Working in multiple forms of media with a deeply engaged audience in the hundreds of thousands, Choe is one of the few fine artists to ever successfully make the jump from the museum world to the media world, with his only two network appearances being the extremely successful and high profile shows Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (CNN) and VICE (HBO). On the former, Choe was a featured guest and on the latter Choe served as both host and interviewer for multiple episodes; both shows went on to win Emmys that year for Outstanding Informational Series, with each episode that featured Choe being the most watched and commented episodes of that program’s season

Previous to these two network appearances, Choe translated his visual prowess for multi-platinum album covers (Jay-Z & Linkin Park: Collision Course) into directing well-regarded music videos for Dan The Automator (Gorillaz, Deltron 3030) and other musical artists. In addition, Choe provided the voice for the lead character in the breakout Sundance Film Festival hit We Are The Strange (2007) and was an integral part in the beginning days of VICE Media Inc.’s transition from traditional print media into more engaging video work where he collaborated on and conceived of two of the company’s most popular Internet shows: The Vice Guide To Travel and Thumbs Up!, the latter of which he served as the writer, director and star. Additionally, Choe provided further essential involvement in the form of composing music and creating graphics, animations and art campaigns for all the shows he was involved with.

His popularity and personality are proven to draw audiences. In 2012, Choe was dubbed “the prince of all media” by Howard Stern after appearing on his show where he went on to become one of the year’s most popular new guests; while a documentary about his life (Dirty Hands) became the most attended film at the Los Angeles Film Festival the year it premiered and further garnered multiple sold-out showings at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

From comics and books, to apparel and music, to films and television- everything Choe has been a part of has proven its success many times over. And just as Choe proved his commercial viability with his fine-art contributions to a diverse list of clients such as Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Sony Pictures, Fox Searchlight, Warner Brothers, CBS, Converse, Levi’s and Vanity Fair, he is once again proving his commercial viability as an immeasurable asset in other forms of media in front of the camera.

Michael Page _ Captain

Michael Page (b. 1979, U.S.)
Captain
acrylic and oil on canvas, 20" x 16"
$3,800.00

Michael Page exhibited "Hope Leaves" solo exhibition at Anno Domini September 2007.

About the Artist:
Michael Page’s work offers the viewer an optic alternative to the visual reality of life, as we know it. The artist’s characters and organisms inhabit otherworldly realms that are vaguely familiar in their resemblance to our shared reality, but are ultimately their own cosmic manifestation. Narratives of worlds in crisis, such as a self-imposed environmental degradation and the decline of civilization play out across the canvas. His enigmatic imagery is rendered in a rich and colorful palette of swirling and flowing shapes and line that create dynamic movement. The resulting liveliness of the work assists in aiding the viewer’s suspension of disbelief when contemplating the fantastical realities of the artist’s imagination.

Michael Page was born in 1979 and he lives and works as a full-time artist in Dana Point, Ca. He has shown his work nationally and internationally throughout both Europe and the United States, including the cities of Reykjavik, Berlin, Bristol, Rome, Sweden and Montreal.

“I have a few different ways when approaching a new canvas. One way is, I start throwing colors and shapes down until I find a format that I like and want to work with. Another way is, I start with a general idea of what I want to paint and start sketching forms and shapes, until my idea is flowing. Another way is I combine both, forms I have sketched out and throwing colors all over the place.

My paintings are always changing, from month to month they go through very radical different ideas and concepts until I find one that sticks. I am not partial to anything I create, I feel that everything can be destroyed until the true beauty rises through.

MOMO exhibited at Anno Domini in 2010 with the solo exhibition "Better Than 2009".

About the Artist
MOMO is an American artist who began his experimental outdoor work in the late 90s, working with homemade tools and borrowed public space. Ten years of free ranging projects, centered around adapted masonry techniques, strategies based on collage, computer code, and seriality, came to form the basis of his visual language.

This language finds it's expression in paint, on commissioned walls and studio work from 2009 to the present day. Notable mural commissions include those from Facebook, Pepsi, the NFL, the World Trade Center, John Hancock Tower, Art Production Fund NY, European Capital of Culture, the NYC DOT, and Yohji Yamamoto's Y-3. However, self organized walls in Jamaica, Sicily, and Arizona (2013, 2016, 2018), painted at the artists expense, have been important in demonstrating innovative techniques for a general audience free of the usual commercial concerns.

In 2016 Maya Hayuk, MOMO, Swoon, and Faile inaugurated the new Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art in Brussels, with installations on five floors. Solo shows the following year 2017 were held at Delimbo Gallery in Sevilla and Alice Gallery in Belgium, with an experimental group show of Mark Flood, Revok, Paul Kremer, and MOMO at Library Street Collective in Detroit.
