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.

This November, we’re celebrating Lee Krasner, on

This November, we’re celebrating Lee Krasner, one of the most important and influential figures in Abstract Expressionism. Krasner’s work was groundbreaking, known for its boldness, vibrant colors, and dynamic compositions that pushed the limits of abstraction. Although she’s often associated with her husband, Jackson Pollock, Krasner forged her own path, developing a distinctive visual language that set her apart. Her early training in traditional drawing and her deep knowledge of art history allowed her to constantly challenge conventions and experiment in ways few artists dared.

As we wrap up our celebration of Duke Riley, we reflect on his remarkable contributions to contemporary art. Duke Riley’s practice is as diverse as the communities he represents. From performative interventions to intricate mosaics, his work blurs the lines between art, history, and craft. A notable aspect of Riley’s artistry is his fascination with pigeons. He’s created intricate embroidered portraits of hundreds of these birds, each meticulously crafted and detailed with their name and breed, reflecting his deep appreciation for the often-overlooked creatures. Riley’s ability to merge craft, history, and fiction has cemented his place as a truly innovative artist, pushing the boundaries of what art can achieve. 🪶

As we continue exploring Duke Riley’s work this October, we dive deeper into his fascination with maritime history and urban waterways. Riley’s passion for these subjects is central to his art, where he interweaves historical events with fictional elements to create allegorical histories. His work comments on overdevelopment, environmental destruction, and the stories of marginalized individuals within larger systems, all while bringing these narratives to life through video, sculpture, drawing, and mosaic.

Known for combining the seafarer’s traditions with nautical history, October Member of the Month, Duke Riley’s pieces not only captivate but also invite viewers to reflect on urban development, environmental destruction, and the contradictions within political ideologies. In his modern take on scrimshaw—traditionally etched into whale teeth—Riley uses repurposed plastic waste like toothbrushes and detergent bottles. These works retain maritime imagery while critiquing the global executives responsible for perpetuating single-use plastics. His multimedia installations offer a blend of fiction and allegory, creating new ways to understand historical and contemporary struggles.
