Featured Artists
Emily Rapport
Inspired by the urban landscape of Chicago, I paint vacant lots, El tracks, neighborhood houses, fast food restaurants, and construction sites. These ordinary scenes share a strong sense of locality but also belong to a larger American landscape and culture.
Leo Kogan
Animals, fascists, hipsters, aliens, primordial ooze and other characters are repeating motifs in Leo’s surreal, psychedelic and philosophical paintings and drawings.
Leo Kogan studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Cooper Union for Science and Art in New York City. He has exhibited and curated in Russia, Germany, Amsterdam, Belgium, Sweden, Italy, Japan and Chicago. He currently lives and works in Amsterdam.
Andrew Steiner
A self-taught photographer, Andrew learned his craft from his father, a commercial photographer in Rochester, NY, and through avid reading and study of photographers like Andre Kertesz, Robert Frank, Bruce Davidson, and others. About his own work Andrew says, “I try not to approach my subjects with preconceived ideas of what I will see. I let the moment tell the story.” Read more about Andrew’s 2019 exhibition here.
