246 Editions

We have been big fans of Steven Alexanders work for quite awhile and are super happy to be presenting his work in our third edition.

Steven’s work is interested in the interaction between the painting and the viewer’s imagination and experience; effectively in the painting’s catalytic potency and it’s potential to generate unspecified mobile meaning.William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin referred to this as the third mind - the conscious created between an artwork and the viewer viewing it.

Steven is trying to build, out of color and substance, a place for the viewer’s consciousness - where unexpected associations and resonances may occur, where past and future merge with the present moment, and the stuff of life, love and desire has corporeal presence - states of being, embodied in paint.

Many thanks to Heather Goss at DCist for her very warm welcome - thanks! the full story is here.

Sharon Butler has given a number of updates including a sneak peek of the work she has been doing leading up to her release in the next week or so… Sharon writes Two Coats of Paint, you should be reading it as well as her reviews in the Brooklyn Rail.

We went live today with this great print from Peter Dayton. If your here, you have probably seen it. However if not, see above or visit 246 Editions home page.

I wanted to give everyone a quick update on the site going live - the date is set and the supplies have all started to roll in.

We are really excited to show you the first piece by Peter Dayton, but you will have to wait about a week (I think you’ll make it….)

Big thanks to Sharon Butler for her mention of us in her amazing blog Two Coats of Paint.
