Celestial visions, futuristic landscapes, and intr

Celestial visions, futuristic landscapes, and intricate diagrams fill the work of December’s Member of the Month, Royal Robertson, showcasing his fascination with worlds beyond our own. Robertson often incorporated science fiction elements into his drawings, imagining distant planets, spaceships, and cosmic events. These fantastical elements were not just escapist but deeply tied to his sense of prophecy and destiny. His detailed diagrams often combined religious symbolism with futuristic themes, creating a unique fusion of faith and imagination. These works reveal his yearning for order and meaning in a universe he perceived as chaotic and often hostile.

🎉 New Member Spotlight 🎉 We’re thrilled to

🎉 New Member Spotlight 🎉
We’re thrilled to introduce Zig Jackson, also known by his tribal name Rising Buffalo, as the inaugural feature in our New Member Spotlight series!

A member of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, Jackson’s work captures the intersection of Indigenous identity, cultural resilience, and contemporary art. His art reflects both personal and collective histories, navigating themes of belonging, visibility, and the ongoing dialogue between tradition and modernity.

Jackson was the first Native photographer inducted into the Library of Congress’ permanent collection and the first Native American to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship in photography. He is best known for his powerful and thought-provoking photography, which challenges stereotypes and sparks vital conversations about representation and self-identity. In his acclaimed series Indian Photographing Tourist Photographing Indians, Jackson humorously and critically examines how Native people are perceived, reclaiming agency and flipping societal norms.

Join us in welcoming Zig Jackson to the Artists Rights Society—we’re honored to represent his extraordinary work!

As we continue to highlight Royal Robertson as Dec

As we continue to highlight Royal Robertson as December's Member of the Month, his art offers a journey into his vibrant mind, inextricably tied to his turbulent personal life. His self-proclaimed title of "Prophet" stemmed from his visions and deeply held religious beliefs, which became even more pronounced following his divorce. The heartbreak and betrayal he experienced after his wife left him were driving forces behind much of his work. These emotions spilled onto his poster board creations, where biblical references and apocalyptic warnings intertwined with deeply personal narratives. His art offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into his spiraling mental state and the inner struggles that shaped his creative vision.

This December, we’re excited to celebrate our Me

This December, we’re excited to celebrate our Member of the Month, the visionary artist Royal Robertson. A self-proclaimed prophet and sign painter from Louisiana, Robertson’s deeply personal work combines vivid imagery, text, and symbolism, reflecting his experiences, beliefs, and inner world. Drawing from themes of religion, science fiction, love, and betrayal, his art is raw, emotional, and unapologetically unique. Robertson’s creations—from hand-painted signs to intricate drawings—give us a window into his vivid imagination and remarkable storytelling.

Lee Krasner’s legacy extends far beyond her time

Lee Krasner’s legacy extends far beyond her time as a key figure in Abstract Expressionism. She left behind an enduring influence on the art world, both as a fierce advocate for women artists and as an innovator who continually pushed the boundaries of creative expression. Krasner’s work is now celebrated for its complexity, emotion, and pioneering approach to abstraction. Her perseverance, dedication, and drive for artistic growth ensure her lasting place in the history of modern art. As we conclude our celebration of Lee Krasner as November’s Member of the Month, we honor her as a trailblazer whose work continues to inspire.

Lee Krasner, November’s Member of the Month, was

Lee Krasner, November’s Member of the Month, was never one to remain static in her artistic process. Throughout her career, she was known for constantly revisiting and reshaping her past work. In her celebrated Collage Paintings, like the one seen here, she would cut apart older canvases and create entirely new works by reassembling the fragments, giving them new life and meaning. This method allowed her to merge past and present, creating art that felt both familiar and completely fresh. Krasner's process of deconstruction and reinvention speaks to her resilience and refusal to be confined by traditional artistic boundaries, a true reflection of her revolutionary spirit.

Our November Member of the Month, Lee Krasner, exe

Our November Member of the Month, Lee Krasner, exemplified the power of bold gestures and dynamic energy in her art. Her large-scale paintings from the Umber Series, seen here, showcase sweeping brushstrokes and rhythmic movement, all while reflecting a profound sense of freedom. During this period, Krasner, struggling with insomnia and working at night, found that artificial light affected her ability to work with vibrant colors. Because of this, she began using a limited palette of white and umber. The result is a series grounded in form and expression. Krasner’s emotional intensity and constant evolution as an artist shine through in these works, making them truly unforgettable.
