Sasha DecemberSasha December is an American fine artist based in New York. Her work explores the boundaries and societal pressures of femininity, self-fulfillment, loneliness, and empowerment. December considers the subject of her work as an extension of herself in that the character tells her own story, but leaves room for the viewer to find restitution in it for themselves. Against surrealist backdrops, her subjects are often portrayed in repose – a physical and emotional position to reckon with the ambivalence of enduring nostalgia, and at the same time a reclamation of the future.

Jean Rim Jean Rim is a Korean American artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Drawing inspiration from organic layering of patterns found in nature such as the scales of a fish or Fibonacci spirals, and her mother’s traditional pearl-inlaid lacquerware furniture known as najeonchilgi (나전칠기), she carefully whittles stratums of enamel underpaint. Each of Rim’s kaleidoscopic bursts of color, often metallic and light-shifting, emerge and recede on the wooden canvas in a hypnotic rhythm that recalls the movement of natural elements in their truest forms.
