Justin Quinn

Breathe He Must, or Die He Will


Since 1998, Justin Quinn has been exploring ideas of visual and perceptual space through the use of letterforms, in particular the letter "E."
Using Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby Dick as source material for large and small scale prints, collages and drawings, "E" becomes a surrogate for all letters in the alphabet, denying written words their use as legible signifiers, allowing Quinn to use his "parallel language" to become a basis for visual manufacture.

Vincent Falsetta

Recent Works

Continuing his investigation of abstract gesture, process, and expression, Mr. Falsetta's newest body of work features cascades and vertical striations of color that are at once streaming, free, spontaneous, controlled, partitioned, and deliberate. Using brushes, cardboard, spreaders, palette knives, and dry wall spatulas to achieve rich texture, Falsetta achieves deliberate spontaneity.

Cédric Delsaux

Star Wars on Earth

In French photographer Cédric Delsaux's large format photographs, Star Wars action figures and the suburbs of Paris seamlessly integrate into beautifully cinematic tableaux's.
The work is subtle and serene with a sly humor that plays-to and forgoes any known nostalgia of the widely popular Star Wars franchise.

Cedric Delsaux lives and works in Paris, France.
He has been a full-time commercial photographer since 2003 while continuously working on his personal artistic practice of which the Star Wars series is included. Delsaux won the Kodak prize for landscapes and architecture with his Star Wars on Earth series in 2005. This will be the second US exhibition of Delsaux's photography. In 2006, Delsaux was selected in the Leurzer's Archive as one of the "200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide."
