Zee Giesbrecht
$200.00


Artist statement: My name is Zee Giesbrecht, I'm a Brazilian queer artist. My work concerns LGBTQIA+ body identity, intimate relationships and queer consciousness. I aim to explore these themes through an emotional representation of identities that are in movement, always in constant construction and deconstruction. To express that idea, I tend to choose an intersection of liquid and dry mediums: bright ever-flowing watercolors juxtaposed with solid charcoal presented in fast, rough, disconnected lines.

Christina Giza
$700.00


Artist statement: Painting with watercolor is my key to my secret garden, to my down the rabbit hole, to my very own looking glass. Watercolor is a very fresh, intuitive process that involves layering water-based paint on paper. Every once in a while, I have an inspired moment where I create exactly the effect I wanted - or even more exciting- I produce something that veers from my original idea and exceeds my expectations.
