Shepard Fairey's OBEY 3-FACE COLLAGE is a vibrant and powerful work that speaks to the artist's ongoing interest in portraiture and propaganda. 

The three faces in the collage are based on photographs of Andre the Giant, taken during his time as a professional wrestler and iconic Pop figure in entertainment. By re-contextualizing these images within the framework of fine art, Fairey questions the traditional boundaries between high and low culture.

 The result is a captivating and thought-provoking work that is sure to generate discussion and debate. OBEY 3-FACE COLLAGE is an essential addition to any collection of contemporary art.

As the title indicates, New River Fine Art explores the genuine and authentic story behind the artist, while showing the au courant of his work.  Through the artwork, text, and gallery ephemera, we bear witness to the artist’s rise from an unknown street artist to a highly collected Contemporary fine artist.  The curatorial stance briefly touches on the artist’s more formative years after he departs the U.K. to arrive in the United States to sell graffiti-inspired Pop Art on the streets of New York City, before energetically progressing to showcase his current body of work. 

“As an artist, I am drawn to the free spirit of America,” says Cotton, describing his decision to move from London to New York City at 24 years old to pursue a full-time art career in the United States.

OPENING TOMORROW!!!

New River Fine Art is proud to announce “100% Cotton”- A Solo Exhibition by Andrew Cotton, the debuting solo exhibition by Andrew Cotton, featuring the split-portrait portrayals that have gained the artist international recognition along with new text-based works, abstract paintings, collaged surfboards, vintage Americana, gorgeous pinups, Hollywood icons, and coastal beach scenes, opening September 15, 2022, and running through October 16, 2022. 

“100% Cotton” shows a resourceful artist in tune with his own artistic practices.  Cotton embraces his coveted family lineage and formulaically calculates the building of his own brand with a narrower and more focused mindset to produce artwork that successfully blends pop culture, nostalgia, friendships, and kinships – a culmination where his authenticity is key for success.

Gustavo Torres is a widely acclaimed bronze sculptor whose work often evokes the classical sculptures of antiquity. However, Torres imbues his work with a sense of vitality and movement that sets it apart from these static images of the past. 

He achieves this by capturing gestures such as the sway of a woman's hips, a figure's glance, or a dog's upturned ear. The rough finish on his sculpture invites touch and contemplation, inviting viewers to engage with the work on a physical and emotional level. As a result, Torres' work is both highly aesthetically pleasing and deeply moving, offering viewers a unique and unforgettable experience.

"My goal is to capture the spirit of the form," he says. "You do this by using the least amount of material possible. This is the most difficult… finding the essence. The rough texture allows the viewer to feel the sculpture and get a sense of its forms." According to Torres, the pointed, fused legs on his human figures "combine to one point in life." Stalactites that connect with the earth gave him the idea for this natural form. 

Torres is an old-fashioned bronze sculptor, meaning he uses the centuries-old lost-wax casting method and works by himself. This process includes creating the molds, pouring the waxes, finishing them, metal finishing and patina. By doing everything himself, Torres has full creative control over his pieces. This allows him to create sculptures that are truly unique and personal. His attention to detail and dedication to his craft are evident in each and every one of his pieces. Torres' passion for bronze sculpture is evident in his work, and it is clear that he is a master of his craft.

Conceptual artist Gabriel Delgado is known for his quick and witty investigations into current social and political events. Recently, the artist has turned his sights on Trump's Make America Great Again campaign, and the FBI raid on Trump's Mara Lago resort.

With the ever-changing landscape of contemporary politics, it can be difficult for anyone to keep a foothold, let alone a president.

However, Trump has shown himself to be a resilient leader, bouncing back from past scandals and investigations. Nevertheless, the artist believes that Trump's current struggle with the FBI could be his downfall. Only time will tell if Trump will be able to weather this latest storm.

Either way, Delgado's work provides a humorous and thought-provoking commentary on the current state of affairs.

In the artwork, the phrase "Make America Great Again" is shown to be first used by Alexander Wiley in the 76 US Congress in the 1940s. The concept behind the phrase was to encourage Americans to work together to improve the country's economy and infrastructure. In the years following Wiley's use of the phrase, it was adopted by both the Democratic and Republican party. Bill and Hillary Clinton used the phrase during their presidential campaigns, as did Barry Goldwater during his run for the Republican nomination. In 2015, Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president and chose "Make America Great Again" as his campaign slogan. Trump's use of the phrase caught on with his supporters and became a rallying cry for his campaign. Since Trump's election, the phrase has been used by other politicians to drum up support for their own agendas. Whether or not the concept of "Making America Great Again" will succeed remains to be seen, but its history is rooted in a desire to improve the country for all Americans.

Although Miró has been associated with early Surrealism and has had an influence on Abstract Expressionists and Color Field painters, he remains one of modern art's greatest mavericks with a visual vocabulary unmistakably his own. Born in Barcelona, Spain in 1893, Joan Miro was associated with the Surrealist movement in the 1920s, but he always maintained his independence from any group or style. His paintings, sculptures, and works on paper are characterized by bright colors, biomorphic forms, and line work that seems to dance across the canvas. Today, Miro's work can be found in major museums and collections all over the world, cementing his legacy as one of the most important artists of the 20th century.

Pietro and Riccardo Ferro were born into a family with a long history of working with glass. Their father, Paolo Ferro, was a well-respected glass worker, and the brothers learned from him the art of grinding. In 2000, they decided to open their own studio, Moleria, where they could continue their father's legacy and explore their own creative vision. The Ferro brothers see glass as a medium with endless potential, and they specialize in developing new vessels and techniques. Their work has been shown in galleries and museums around the world, and they are among the foremost glass artists working today. As they continue to push the boundaries of their art form, the Ferro brothers are making a lasting contribution to the world of glass.

Estella finds herself immersed in a time and place where she is surrounded by the beauty of nature.

The hot flames from her fire burn brightly, providing light in what would otherwise be darkness as well as warmth for those near her-both physically through her manifested bodies' heat, but also emotionally because the viewers share this moment with her in an ephemeral togetherness.

The simplicity found within these figures is captivating; it captures exactly how we should all feel on an everyday basis: vulnerable yet strong when facing adversity or danger without fear. A primordial feminine power that rings true today.

In celebration of Mother Nature, Estella dresses the naked form to represent a new godly beauty. Using semi-precious stones formed over millions in years ago by ancient science, our observations tells us each stone has its own meaning that our eyes can detect, and find the beauty within them all… just as it is for this great lady who brings life into everything she touches!

The human form is her medium, and nature embodies beauty in every facet of her female forms.

The American artist and filmmaker Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola in 1928 in Pittsburgh. He is considered a founder and major figure of the POP ART movement. He got his first break in August 1949, when Glamour Magazine wanted him to illustrate a feature entitled “Success is a Job in New York”. But by accident the credit read “Drawings by Andy Warhol” and that’s how Andy dropped the “a” in his last name. He continued doing ads and illustrations and by 1955 he was the most successful and imitated commercial artist in New York. In 1960 he produced the first of his paintings depicting enlarged comic strip images – such as Popeye and Superman – initially for use in a window display. Warhol pioneered the development of the process whereby an enlarged photographic image is transferred to a silk screen that is then placed on a canvas and inked from the back. Each Warhol silkscreen used this technique that enabled him to produce the series of mass-media images – repetitive, yet with slight variations – that he began in 1962. These iconic Andy Warhol prints, incorporating such items as Campbell’s Soup cans, dollar bills, Coca-Cola bottles, and the faces of celebrities, can be taken as comments on the banality, harshness, and ambiguity of American culture. Later in the 1960s, Warhol made a series of experimental films dealing with such ideas as time, boredom, and repetition; they include Sleep (1963), Empire (1964), and The Chelsea Girls (1966). In 1965 he started working with a rock band called “The Velvet Underground” formed by Lou Reed and John Cale.

New Work by Gustavo Torres
Búho (Owl), 2022, (10/50)
Bronze Sculpture
11.50 x 6 x 3 in


Now Available | DM for Inquires

Gustavo Torres began sculpting at a very young age in Mexico, training with accomplished artists. Torres left Mexico after receiving his BFA to pursue a career in art in the United States. 

Mainly influenced by Alberto Giacometti as well as the Nuns of Guadalajara, Torres is both a talented visual artist and a master craftsman, whose visual imagery reflects the quiet, deep spirit of an ancient culture. His experiences while attending a private Catholic school as a child had great impact on his early art education, and religious symbols were his subjects during these formative years. Torres' style is both primitive and abstract and he looks to create a ''spiritual balance'' in his art. He strives to elevate the human spirit by using primitive and natural forms reminiscent of Mayan and Spanish cultures.

email wissam@newriverfineart.com for more information

Besner was born in 1965 in North Lancaster, Ontario. He completed his Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Montreal in 1992. This early education allowed him to focus his thoughts on the nature of the city and its components. The artist is entirely open to the vibrations of contemporary society which he seeks to remodel in new forms of plasticity, hovering somewhere between the figurative and the abstract. His aim is not to create an ideal or to reproduce nature, but rather to give form to the energy emanating from the metaphysics of human activity.

Cotton creates the identifiable and recognizable facets of his subjects to exist simultaneously with the conceptual painterly identity that he has constructed.  He brings forth, through visual clues and references, parts of their individual roles, personalities, and actions – a skewed contemporary caricature that emphasizes cultural ranks, not embellished sarcasm.

New River Fine Art is pleased to announce the representation of Conceptual Artist, Gabriel Delgado.

Delgado acts as teacher and researcher while presenting facts about human psychology, issues, events, circumstances, and cause & effects relations to an audience who can then formulate their own understanding of the various topics. 

His signature PEMDAS driven, and conceptually solvable Order of Operations mathematical equations bring to light the elegance of numerical and text-driven logic via an expressive scientific chalkboard aesthetic.

Delgado uses a variety of techniques and applications to create works of art that not only educate but create visual avenues for debate and community discussion.

His themed artworks often deal with Decentralized Finance, Science, Economy, Social Reform, and other relevant topics that dive deep into the human psyche to investigate pivotal responses of these current topics. 

In “Binary Code”, Delgado takes on the daunting task of mathematically dissecting the historical significance of Binary Code- leading us through the building of the complex, now iconic 0 and 1’s; and how it was influenced by the Chinese I-Ching and Christianity. 

Delgado has been exhibited at the Drawing Center, NYC; Museum of Contemporary Art D.C.; Art Miami Art Fair 2021,2022; Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary 2021, 2022; Hamptons Fine Art Fair 2022; Market Art & Design The Hamptons Art Fair 2021; ARCO Art Fair; Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum; Art Car Museum; among many others.

Alex Gabriel Bernstein (b. 1972)

Green Window, 2015

Carved glass

22.50 x 6.50 x 4 in

Alex Gabriel Bernstein presents a bold and refreshing exploration of visual form and storytelling through the art of glass. Bernstein skillfully combines metaphor with the impact and optical quality of glass.  His cast, carved, and polished glass sculptures provide the viewer with intimate narrative landscapes, drawn from light, form, and color. Alex explores ideas about the passage of time and the processes of creation and transformation.

The forms of Bernstein’s pieces, as well as the techniques he uses to work the glass, mirror processes in nature such as oxidation, erosion, growth, and decay. As a result, many of his pieces evoke images of flowing water, ice crystals, mountain peaks and jagged canyons, all structures that seem solid and unyielding but are in constant flux.  

The work reflects his sense of exploration: an exquisitely cut geometric crystal sculpture set against a brutal, rusted steel backdrop, volcanic bursts of cut-glass spewing from a steel-encrusted base, layers of transparent color intermingling with ambient light. Alex’s sculptures reflect his feelings and sensitivity to others, curiosity, and enthusiasm for bringing new dimensions to his sculpture.

Others will seek to employ Alex’s techniques, but none will achieve the depth of expressionism, his ability to depict the emotions and responses that objects, and events arouse in him. This is the underlying strength of his work in glass.

Alex holds an M.F.A. in glass sculpture from the School for American Crafts at RIT.

In observance of National Monkey Around Day, we salute Mr. Brainwash and his “Everyday Life” painting at New River Fine Art

Monkey Around Day is an annual celebration observed on June 14. The holiday encourages everyone to set aside their worries and toss out their inhibitions. Monkey Around Day is a day to just goof off and do whatever comes to mind. Maybe you have a wild idea that you’ve always wanted to try but were afraid to. 

Today’s the perfect opportunity to be brave and safely have some fun. You’ll be pleased you did it tomorrow!!!

Mainly influenced by Alberto Giacometti as well as the Nuns of Guadalajara, Gustavo Torres is both a talented visual artist and a master craftsman, whose visual imagery reflects the quiet, deep spirit of an ancient culture. Torres' style is both primitive and abstract and he looks to create a ''spiritual balance'' in his art.

Torres strives to elevate the human spirit by using primitive and natural forms reminiscent of Mayan and Spanish cultures. Each of his sculptures has the texture of antiquity, and the rough finger work and the carefully chosen patinas convey a worn, earthy presence.

Gustavo Torres began sculpting at a very young age in Mexico, training with accomplished artists. Torres left Mexico after receiving his BFA to pursue a career in art in the United States. Mainly influenced by Alberto Giacometti as well as the Nuns of Guadalajara, Torres is both a talented visual artist and a master craftsman, whose visual imagery reflects the quiet, deep spirit of an ancient culture. His experiences while attending a private Catholic school as a child had great impact on his early art education, and religious symbols were his subjects during these formative years. Torres' style is both primitive and abstract and he looks to create a ''spiritual balance'' in his art. He strives to elevate the human spirit by using primitive and natural forms reminiscent of Mayan and Spanish cultures

Estella Fransbergen exquisite sculptures celebrate the female form and the natural world. Adorned in breathtaking jewels and cast in shiny bronze, her creations exude elegance. 

The sculptures are created using a simple “coil building” technique in clay. The torso is shaped by using firing techniques of sawdust and raku. The beauty from the intense fire allows each finished torso to have a uniqueness all its own. 

“In Celebration of Mother Nature… I “dress” the naked form of the torso to represent nature using feathers, branches, leaves, and gemstones. I use semi-precious and rare stones, formed over millions of years. Ancient science tells us that each stone has a symbolic meaning, and our eyes detect the unique beauty of what lies within each. My work is the expression of the human form… and the embodiment of beauty entwined with the powers of Nature." - Estella Fransbergen

Today we commemorate Jesus Christ’s ascension into heaven (as per Christian belief) by celebrating Ascension Day. 

Known by multiple names — The Feast of the Ascension, The Ascension of Jesus, Ascension Thursday, Holy Thursday, or Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord — this holiday is important to Christians because it shows Jesus really had overcome death – he wasn't just resurrected to die again, but to live forever.

To honor the holiday we are showcasing work by American artist Frank Mason. Mason has been described as the artist who carried the torch of realism through Abstract Expressionism. He was a true renaissance man in his humanistic concern for the figure and an artist with the same aesthetic concerns as a seventeenth-century painter.

Miss Bugs is a UK based artistic duo known for their innovative kaleidoscopic patterns of resin-encapsulated razorblades, drug paraphernalia, and pop culture icons which pair nostalgic iconography with contemporary technique. 

Their unique artistic statement and its implied irony is cemented in the fact that our current technological advances have infiltrated many aspects of our private lives and hold us hostage to our addictions, obsessions, and fascinations. 

Data Rader is our newest arrival by Miss Bugs. This intricate artwork consists of cut paper, surgical blades, and embossed butterfly wings adorned in 24-carat gold leaf on wood and aluminum. While human form is the main topic, Data Rader incorporates the familiar with the unfamiliar in a playful, pop-art, explosion of color.

New River Fine Art is pleased to showcase artwork by multimedia artist and engineer Louis Markoya. 

A former protégé of master surrealist Salvador Dalí, Markoya beautifully blends modern technology and classical art with his interactive lenticular prints. 

Markoya’s interest in lenticular prints developed while assisting Dalí on 3D projects that included holograms. Markoya’s innovative artworks use fractal geometry, mathematics and 3-D holographic technology to depict human thought and emotion.

Being a teenager in North London during the graffiti boom, Andrew Cotton was immediately drawn to the pioneers of the UK graffiti scene. But, wanting to develop his career as an international artist, he found himself residing in New York City at the ripe age of 24. Here he found inspiration in the DIY aesthetic of the street art market.

Today, his contemporary style spans stunning abstracts, iconic vintage images and urban landscapes, and makes powerful statements using dynamic colors, mixed media and a variety of surfaces.

In “Basquiat”, this 60 x 48 in painting, Cotton honors Jean-Michel Basquiat who’s known for his influence on street art and hip-hop during the 1980s. 

This juxtaposed piece features the likeness of the iconic artist in black and white, while on the other side is Cotton’s colorful artistic interpretation of how the subject views the world.

Head to New River Fine Art to see whimsical new artworks by Hunt Slonem.

Slonem’s love for nature and distinct neo-expressionist style are seen in his newest paintings which focus on naturalistic subject matter, bright colors, and the mystical. 

“Hunt Slonem’s work is appealing to collectors because his subject matter is so endearing, such as repetitive bunnies, exotic birds, butterflies duplicating and his wonderful thick applications of paint. The subject matter is easy to live with and works well in both contemporary and traditional collections” - Polly Larsen, principal owner of Larsen Gallery.

Today we celebrate Buddha Purnima, the birth of Prince Siddharta Gautama, or Buddha.

Buddha was a philosopher who achieved enlightenment after 49 days of uninterrupted meditation under the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya, discovering the key to ending ‘suffering’. He attested that ‘four noble truths’ held the solution.  

Buddha is also the founder of Buddhism and preached the lessons of dharma, non-violence, harmony, kindness, and path to nirvana to the world.

The word ‘Purnima’ is Sanskrit for ‘full moon’, which explains why this holiday is celebrated on a full moon day and during the month of ‘Vaisakhi’ in Hindu/Buddhist lunar calendars.

We pay homage to Buddha today with a stunning sand cast Halo Buddha by Marlene Rose.

Magnificent work by Marc Chagall inspired by the Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem series. 

Extremely vibrant with brilliant fresh colors, the painterly quality of this work adds texture and depth to the piece. 

Jean Leymarie stated of this work, "The golden harmony of this triumphant window, brightly shining directly opposite the entrance, across from the brilliant red of Zebulun, is the result of two orange ochres fused to white and yellow…the rhythm of the drawing is a succession of spirals and enveloping curves” (Leymarie 81).

Within the Prints discipline, "After" relates to the artist working with a printer to create a set of prints influenced by, or "after" an original work of art.

Salvador Dali was born May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Spain. He was an intelligent and creative child who displayed notable artistic abilities. Dali would go on to study art in Madrid and Barcelona where he assimilated a vast number of artistic styles.  

It was not until the late 1920s, however, that two events brought about the development of Dali’s mature artistic style: his discovery of Sigmund Freud’s writings on the erotic significance of subconscious imagery and his affiliation with the Paris Surrealists, a group of artists and writers who sought to establish the “greater reality” of the human subconscious over reason. 

As Dali's work evolved, his paintings depicted a dreamworld in which commonplace objects were juxtaposed, deformed, or otherwise metamorphosed in a bizarre and irrational fashion. Dali portrayed those objects in an extremely precise manner and in almost painfully realistic detail. His creations focused on themes of man's universe and sensations, sexual symbolism and ideographic imagery. 

In the course of his long career, Dali successfully mastered sculpture, printmaking, fashion, advertising, writing, and, perhaps most famously, filmmaking in his collaborations with Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock. 

Dali is remembered and celebrated for his flamboyant personality, eccentric style, and above all his ability to create something unknown which totally changed the way art was defined.

Happy birthday Salvador Dali!

Today we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, a yearly celebration held on May 5, which commemorates the anniversary of Mexico's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza. The victory of a smaller, poorly equipped Mexican force against the larger and better-armed French army was a morale boost for the Mexicans.

In commemoration of this event, we honor and spotlight New River Fine Art artist Gustavo Torres, a Mexico born sculptor. Gustavo Torres began sculpting at a very young age in Mexico, training with accomplished artists.

Mainly influenced by Alberto Giacometti as well as the Nuns of Guadalajara, Torres is both a talented visual artist and a master craftsman, whose visual imagery reflects the quiet, deep spirit of an ancient culture. His experiences while attending a private Catholic school as a child had great impact on his early art education, and religious symbols were his subjects during these formative years. Torres' style is both primitive and abstract and he looks to create a ''spiritual balance'' in his art. He strives to elevate the human spirit by using primitive and natural forms reminiscent of Mayan and Spanish cultures. Each of his sculptures has the texture of antiquity, and the rough finger work and the carefully chosen patinas convey a worn, earthy presence. Torres believes that ''art without spirituality is nothing.'' This statement demonstrates his reverence for life and serves as a tribute to the depth of his feelings regarding the mysteries of creation.

His sculptures have been exhibited at the Carmel Arts Association and several prominent fine art galleries. He is a member of the Carmel Art Association and received a Gold Medal in national competition for a life-size bronze bust in Guadalajara. AWARDS AND ACCOLADES Gold medal, Salon de Octubre, Guadalajara, Mexico, 1987 Museum of Latin American Artists, Long Beach, CA - Permanent Collection Vanderbilt University - The Divinity School - Permanent Collection, among others.

Celebrating National SuperHero Day with art by Mr. Brainwash!

National SuperHero Day is a day to honor all heroes, whether real or fictional. Heroes are people we look up to, who inspire us and who keep us safe. 

For some, superheroes are those we grew up with, Superman, Batman, and Robin. But in real life, superheroes can be anyone who goes above and beyond to do good for others.

Who's your favorite SuperHero?
