Goggins
Chris Desmond
$50,000.00

Country: America

Dimensions: 20 x 24 x 1
Type of work: : One-of-a-KindLabel Description: Goggins is an attempt at post-kitsch surrealism. In crafting it, the artist has attempted to find the line in the sand where kitsch meets up with more traditional or serious art. The piece begs the question of whether a kitsch piece of artwork can be "saved" or reeled back in from its own kitschiness. Goggins represents people who suffer from mental illness. The artist who crafted it suffers from M.D.D. and has a BA in psychology. The title itself, "Goggins", is in reference to the actor Walton Goggins. The artist was inspired to name the piece after Goggins after seeing his performance in the film Words on Bathroom Walls.

This is my first time at creating a black woman into a light and seeing the utilitarianism of the object showcase the inherent beauty of the black woman. The figure is ceramic and an original design. This is a working lamp and can be shown with or without the lamp shade.

$650.00

New Orleans Area Artist Country: United States

Dimensions: 33 x 44 x 2
Type of work: : Limited EditionLabel Description: The title isn't meant to make you guess at the child's gender. Rather, it is a question that many children ask themselves.

The concept is to afford a child the opportunity to dress in a manner consistent with how they see themselves. They often feel unable to have this experience on a daily basis due to societal pressures. This is also a crossover from the "Youth and Urban Decay" series featuring children in abandoned buildings around the world.
