We are happy to have four brand new drawings by Spanish illustrator Conrad Roset available now! Hurry up, these usually sell out very quickly: bit.ly/V2Z8JqConrad Roset (1984, Barcelona/Spain) spent the first part of his 28 years in Terrassa, his native city, among boxes of crayons, felt-tip pens and notebooks; the other part in Barcelona, surrounded by paints, moleskine notebooks, muses, colored pencils, and in the company of his gray cat. Drawing has been his passion and a constant feature in his life, since he played with his brother at drawing everything they liked until, years later, he draw inspiration from women to create the Muses, his most personal collection. “I search the beauty the body exudes, I like drawing the female figure.” He received his education at the Joso School and at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Thanks to the spreading of his illustrations through the Internet, he started working for Zara. There, he says, he learnt about his trade, about regularity, and how to study styles of reference illustrators. A year later, he launched himself as a freelance artist, and since then he works for different brands, advertising agencies, and publishing companies. He has exhibited his work in galleries and museums, such as the MOMA in Virginia, Spoke Art in San Francisco, London Miles in London, Tipos Infames in Madrid, and Artevistas and Miscelanea in Barcelona. Besides, he is a professor of illustration at the School of Design BAU.

The Mind Is Its Own Place, one of Cusick's darker wave collages, takes its title from John Milton's Paradise Lost. It is a collage conjugation of displaced fragments of maps and is a powerful evocation of oceanic movement and breaking surf, conjuring up tempests, shipwrecks, and an epic battle for control of the heavens. We are very pleased to have this stunning exclusive print edition by outstanding American artist Matthew Cusick now available! "The Mind Is Its Own Place" comes as a high quality fine art print on Hahnemuhle photo rag, signed and numbered by the artist, 62.6 x 38.5 cm, in an edition of 50, $210 each. More infos here: bit.ly/TOtmR7 Collage artist Matthew Cusick (1970, New York/USA) creates new compositions from ephemeral images, using maps as the raw material in his compelling portraits and landscapes. Originally from New York, the Dallas-based artist is inspired by the topographical and the temporary, constructing his works from book pages, Folger’s coffee, ink, and acrylic on wood and aluminum-based panels. With rudimentary tools, he reconfigures roads, rivers, highways, and municipal transit systems into enduring works of art. © Tanja M. Laden

We are pleased to have the newest print edition "Heart flight" by British artist TRXTR available now: bit.ly/14LJXbuArchival Pigment Print on 310gsm Cotton Rag paper, Signed and numbered by the artist, Edition 60, Size: 42 x 30 cm Trxtr (1954, Newcastle/UK) have for a long time been preoccupied by war, fashion, sexuality, religion and our constantly evolving notions of feminine beauty. His images are a personal response to and contemplation of the impossible paradoxes and primitive insanity of the twenty first century. He compulsively collects culturally ‘loaded’ images from the both the digital and analogue world transforming and fusing them with his own photographs and paintings. These are then used to create complex and chaotic multi-layered digital photo montage which are reconstructed then applied to canvas or wood and are again worked into using chalk, charcoal, watercolour, acrylic and ink. Often these mutated images are scanned at high resolution, reapplied to canvas and then further enhanced and developed with the use of traditional materials and controlled accidents.

Famous fashion photographer Kate Garner comes up with new iconic print series of Kate Moss and David Bowie at affordable prices exclusively at 5 Pieces Gallery. All editions come signed and numbered by the artist and offered on an escalating scale. Available here: www.5piecesgalleryphoto.com/category/photography-kate-garnerThe two Kate Moss shots were on the same day as the teddy bear pictures. She turned up for the shoot wearing a very small denim mini skirt, her boyfriends underpants (she hadn't been home from the night before) and a little vest top. She managed to look adorable and chic!! The picture of her on the floor in the window light was taken without the skirt on, just the underpants and vest, no make-up, hair unbrushed, having her morning cig and cup of tea....and looking incredible beautiful. So often the out-takes from a shoot are the most beautiful. The hat and sweater picture was later in the day. Prob the 2nd cigarette and cup of tea in a local cafe. Shot in America in the 1990"s. I wasn't a crazy Bowie fan, but after spending a day with him iI became one. He sat opposite me at lunch and serenaded me with my own song, "Shiny Shiny ". He let me tie him up, with bandages and rope, put him inside a big tube.... all the time fending off the two warring mags I had to shoot him for on the same day. He said he would come to my tiny apartment and do a shoot with me for a more avante guard mag. I could visualise the light coming through my window on his white skin. He was in his 50's and so beautiful. Hard to believe that the FACE mag turned down this shoot cos they said he had sold out? ? As this new song and video proves he is too good an artist to do that. I love it, such pathos and understanding, made me weep. About Kate Garner:"I was born in Wigan, a town in the NW of England, near Liverpool & Manchester. I left when I was 16. I ran away to London where I was "captured" by Californian Jesus Freaks. I escaped & travelled overland to India through Europe & Asia where I stayed for 8 months. When I came back to my home town I met someone on the street who said they were going to college to study photography. I thought I'd go there next. It was the first time I'd really enjoyed school. I left 2 years later, after getting the highest marks for our end of term show. I took assisting jobs in London & Manchester but mainly with larger advertising studios which were not inspiring, although I learned how to work hard! I was making music at the same time and met Paul Caplin who had a rehearsal studio above a photographic studio I worked in. At the same time I met Jeremy Healy. Together we formed Haysi Fantayzee & signed to R.C.A. records. Our first record went top 10 in England and Europe and we became very famous, very quickly. After performing for about 2 years we were really not enjoying being in the public eye. We disbanded and gradually I began to take pictures professionally. My first proper photography job was to shoot most of Sinead O'Connor's press and album sleeves...." After Haysi Fantayzee disbanded in 1983 and a brief solo stint, Kate Garner continued photography full-time and established herself quickly as a successful photographer, working over a period of time with Sinéad O'Connor, creating memorable images of O'Connor including working on her 1987 debut, The Lion and the Cobra. She has photographed many other celebrities like Dr Dre, Leigh Bowery, JT Leroy, Angelina Jolie, David Bowie, Cameron Diaz, PJ Harvey, John Galliano, Björk, and Kate Moss. Kate found herself over time phasing out fashion photography in favor of more dark-artistic creative endeavors. When asked to describe the surreal, flamboyant imagery in her current fine art collection, Garner states, "It depicts the humour, joy and beauty of what people mistakenly call 'dark' so I call it 'Jolly Darkness'." Much of her avant-garde work can be seen on Garner's website, kategarner.org. Her work has appeared in the American and British versions of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Kate has also worked for GQ, Vanity Fair, Elle, Sunday Times and is a continuing contributor to i-D magazine. She has shown her work all across Europe and North America, include a recent gala Sony-sponsored retrospective of Garner's imagery in London. Today Kate continues to work on new photographic art and music with her label, iDIOt Records.

5 Pieces Gallery is pleased to show brand new works in this outstanding exhibition by Austrian artist Kevin A. Rausch (1980, Wolfsberg/Austria). The exhibition will run at www.5piecesgallery.com from January 16th to February 15th 2013. Probably when Kevin A. Rausch (1980, Wolfsberg/Austria) was still a child the artist was already focusing on the images in his head, on the overwriting of prescribed perceptions such as those presented in school books. And so precisely these were soon serving as sketchbooks and contributing to the liberation from clichés and prescribed patterns of thinking. After school he started to use painting to investigate world situations, processes and cultures and finally graduated from the Vienna School of Art in 2006. And so today were are confronted with partly beguiling, partly melancholy, but also irritating pictures. Black and white often play the main role, and in this way what is being narrated, what the underlying mood is, can seldom be quickly recognised. Because stories are being told, even if there are many “abstract” elements. But what does figurative or abstract mean in this context? Is emotion something abstract? Does a figure in the picture mean that it is a protagonist in a narrative? Landscapes are almost always recognisable, but whether they exist on our planet or whether we are rather inclined to transfer them to another place in the universe – or at least to a time far in the future – this is often left to the observer. We have landscapes in front of us that hardly originate from fantasies of the next holiday planning but are reminiscent of nightmares: ice, snow, fallow landscapes, a great deal uncanny. Earth and air, fire and water appear to be in uproar and uncontrollable. It is with great difficulty that a human finds his or her place in this desolate wilderness. But nevertheless, in his paintings Rausch is far from humourlessness or hopelessness or from the absence of romantic elements: suddenly, beautiful water lilies and a fruit-laden tree adorn the landscape in the thaw. The world seems to open up again and to want to show its beautiful side again, although humanity, with its restless and insatiable exploitation of the earth is working most strenuously to destroy precisely the resources that are substantially necessary for our survival, for hope and beauty. Perhaps it is the wide open spaces in the paintings that will not allow us to believe that the end is on the horizon!

We are pleased to show eight brand new works by outstanding American painter Brett Amory. This exhibition will run at 5piecesgallery.com from December 16th 2012 to January 15th 2013. Amory began the Waiting series in 2001 with paintings based on photographs the artist has taken of ordinary city architecture and random people who he saw daily but never spoke to. He feels especially drawn to individuals who look lost, lonely or awkward—those who don’t appear to fit in socially. As the title suggests, the Waiting series depicts how people are distracted by constant internal dialogue, preoccupation with memories of the past and/or concern for the future, never able to live in the present moment. Amory’s work attempts to visually represent this concept of disconnection, detachment, and anticipation, conveying the idea of transient temporality that exists in the moments of our daily lives. At first, the series, depicted travelers waiting underground. But as the paintings evolved, the people ceased to be exclusively travelers, and began to emphasize figures selected from anonymous snaphots of city streets. Although the experience of waiting remains, the perception of it has changed from one of mundane task to one leavened with transcendence. The series has also charted the evolution of an artist—the reductive elements of the compositions provide an outward echo of the inner states of the figures. By reducing the elements of the painting as far as possible, a frozen moment is extended. Lastly, I have developed favored motifs in the series, a kind of visual music, such as repetition of a human image, to show not only the passage of time but of the human being through it.

We are very pleased to announce the release of some very special diamond dust limited editions of the most iconic photos of supermodel Kate Moss by famous fashion photographer Kate Garner. They come as a 64.77 x 48.26 cm high quality fine art prints on Somerset art paper, with a dot screen and diamond dust applied. All editions are signed and numbered by the artist in an edition of 15 and offered on an escalating scale. More infos here www.5piecesgalleryphoto.com/category/photography-kate-garnerArtist Statement:This film of Kate Moss was an outtake from a shoot i was doing for a Conde Nast mag in 1990. It was to portray Kate as a grown up glamorous girl for the first time instead of her usual grunge look. I did her first shoot ever for iD magazine 2 yrs earlier at age 14. At that point she was wide eyed and confused, not really knowing what was going on. Two years later, she had grown up a lot, turning up at the shoot with her boyfriends' underpants hanging below her little denim mini skirt. Still.... she had eggshell all over her, like a young bird. When getting ready for 3rd shot of the day,as Kate was dressing. and seeing her in grown up black stockings, her hair piled seductively on top of her head, but the high heeled shoes too big for her and her plain practical black underwear such a contrast to the stockings, I thought, this is how I want to shoot her, this is saying who she is right now, not the glamorous gowns that had been brought in for the day. We were in Praed Street Hotel in Paddington, London. Very uninteresting visually..... apart from the gorgeous 1920's all marble bathrooms. I had toys with me from a shoot the day before. I asked her if we could shoot one film in the bathroom exactly as she was, holding a teddy bear. I shot her from underneath to give her stature and power which contrasted wonderfully with the mixture of childlike innocence and burgeoning sensuality that Kate exuded at this point. I shot one film. I liked it better than all the other shots of the day when she was dressed as a 'fashion model'. It's interesting to see all the shots from that one strip of film and see Kate tentatively and awkwardly holding a pose and then in the next shot looking grown-up and in control of her beauty. She was already a wonderful muse and model. The irony of this shoot is that the magazine didn't publish it, stating that Kate was not going to make it as a model. They ate their words and kindly Kate allowed me to shoot her again for the same magazine a year later. About the artist:Kate Garner (1954, Wigan/UK) is an English singer and photographer. Garner was one third of the trio of 1980s avant-garde, new wave pop project called Haysi Fantayzee, the other members being Jeremy Healy and Paul Caplin. Garner then launched a successful photographic career, working over a period of time with Sinéad O'Connor, creating memorable images of O'Connor including working on her 1987 debut, The Lion and the Cobra. Garner has also photographed many musicians and celebrities. Among them are: Dr. Dre, Leigh Bowery, JT LeRoy, Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, David Bowie, Lauryn Hill, Vanessa Paradis, Björk, and Kate Moss. Her work has appeared in the American and British versions of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. She has also worked for W magazine, Interview, GQ, Vanity Fair, Elle and The Sunday Times. She is a continuing contributor to i-D magazine.

We are pleased to announce the first print releases ever by talented painter Steven Yazzie: "This series builds on the idea of perpetual motion and change by aligning with theories related to environmental geology and uniformitarianism, that suggest the natural world and it’s geologic processes work in the same manner today as it has before recorded (human) time; the earth is a dynamic living entity. This notion of earth’s natural processes informs the painting process of layering translucent and opaque colors in a way to suggest intersecting forms, creating dynamic compositions of movement in a static state. It’s also the conceptual framework that defines painting for me as both an illusion and abstraction, caught in a moment of time. Just as there are layers of geologic history beneath our feet, so are the many layers of personal and cultural context embedded into the landforms of my life. I’m ultimately searching for the same otherness, or enigmatic quality ‘painting’ can have, similar to a feeling one might experience while standing in the middle of a deep canyon shaped by the shifting earth, moving water, and millions of years."
