Size: 30 x 22 x 1 in Medium: Mixed Media, Oil, Spray Paint & Carbon Fiber on Paper Type: Mixed Media James Verbicky is renowned for what he calls “media paintings”, large sculptural assemblages of Baltic birch wood covered in vintage advertisements for popular brands and imagery from foreign magazines bought along the Seine in Paris. He arranges the layers of paper in a horizontal grid, paying homage to pioneering Modernists and Minimalists such as Piet Mondrian, Kenneth Noland, and Morris Louis. A resin topcoat renders the surface shiny and the paper transparent, so that the images on the backsides bleed through to the front, creating a sense of depth. Paying attention to what is behind each piece of paper “makes the collage more interesting and creates a certain mood,” he says. Verbicky’s collages, which can be “read” in any direction, evoke familiar scenes and subjects, from flowers in bloom, to a racetrack blurred in action, to stock tickers scrolling across a television screen.

Deeply influenced by his remarkable fourteen-year sailing voyage around the world, this Nautical Sphere sculpture captures the artist’s journey at sea, and the privilege of experiencing the ocean, with its stunning display of marine life in its most beautiful, powerful and natural form. Neville meticulously designs and transcribes his expressions, using traditional scrimshawing techniques, onto a truly unique canvas – antique glass fishing floats, handmade spheres formed over one hundred years ago. The mass production of plastic would eventually replace these floats, forever changing our world, and with it, the delicate balance of our oceans and its valuable marine life. This remarkable piece of art and sculpture measures 9.5” in diameter. Air bubbles suspended inside the heavy glass have been integrated into the hand-etched design. Rendered in exquisite detail, sea creatures are floating amongst the latitudes that circle the sphere – patterns formed when the molten orb was hand blown over a century ago. This Nautical Sphere reflects the beauty and spectrum of ocean colors, with the delicate refraction of light through changing depths of glass, and the shifting shadows cast from the artist’s scrimshawed design. Artist Bio Neville Hockley was born in Southampton, England, and has lived most of his life by the sea. He is a graduate from the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York City and also holds a degree from Portsmouth College of Art and Design in the UK. In 1997 Neville founded i&D, a New York design studio, and grew his business into a multiple International Davy Award Winning agency. He is the author of Dream Time, a story published by Vanguard Press that chronicles his first ocean voyage from Australia to Italy. In 2007 Neville and his wife, Catherine, set sail from New York to explore the world on their thirty-eight-foot cutter-rig sloop, Dream Time. For a remarkable fourteen years, sailing over 50,000 nautical miles across all four hemispheres, Neville continued to develop his carvings and unique scrimshaw designs. Neville’s life at sea and his creative diversity have been featured in dozens of magazines around the world. When Neville is not sailing, he can be found working from his seaside studio in Long Beach, New York. Generously donated by Neville Hockley -

48 x 56 in Artist Bio Larry Stewart was born and raised in Laguna Beach; having been honing his craft in contemporary styled artwork over the last decade. Initially a full-time athlete, his notebooks overflowed with artistic creations. Eventually, it came time to hang up the cleats; with his old identity gone, he committed to something new. Soon the hours in the studio surpassed the hours in the ocean, and he knew that it would be this way forever. Years of athletics created an addictive passion for mastering every detail of his creations and finding new sources of inspiration. The only difference is that art is a game Larry cannot win, but he is looking forward to the lifetime of competition ahead of him. Generously donated by Larry Stewart -

In “Harmonious Beauty,” different species of goldfish gather in a swirl around a central focal point, each of them possessing a unique trait or color, with one of them cleverly carved in negative relief.

Original painting and hand made custom floating frame. Dimensions: 60 x 48 in. Artist Bio LaMonte Lamoureux was born in Alaska, United States in1977. The unique landscapes and environment surrounding him inspired a balance of appreciating beautiful views with the unique ecology and biological systems below the surface.

After having been chosen three years in a row by Arts Alive to exhibit his work on banners along the iconic California US Route 101, Lamoureux was asked to install a large mural overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the Seaside Market complex in his hometown.

He is represented at the design centers of Molly Wood Design in Costa Mesa, California, Slate Interiors, Charlotte, North Carolina, Grounded Modern and Kyle & Grace in Encinitas, California.
