  • David Edward Johnson is a mixed media assemblage artist living and working in Skaneateles, NY. His work focuses on exploring belief systems, the birth and death of the American Dream, the nature and validity of desire, as well as identity and loss on a personal level.

He encapsulates his oeuvre in three words: abstraction, definition, and deconstruction. ...

  • For Miami-based artist Pepe Mar, collage is a mechanism of transformation—and the origin story of the fiery character he calls his alter-ego: Paprika. It all began with an effortless sketch on a paper napkin. Then Mar turned to collage, cutting out contrasting paper images to form the figure in a flat composition. After years of play, the figure’s body has changed and mutated into the anthropomorphic embodiment of Mar, which manifests in many of his works. “When you draw and doodle you eventually come up with a personal style,” Mar said. “That’s kind of similar to what I did with collaging for so many years. And that’s how the character, Paprika, was created.”...
