Casper Brindle

“After recently moving to Texas, I'm excited to introduce some of my favorite contemporary artists from Los Angeles to the art community here in Dallas. I'm thrilled to highlight Casper Brindle's Glyph wall sculpture available at the benefit auction.

The light and space movement started in the 1960s as local artists sought to incorporate the sunshine with the materials in glass houses, surfboards and car culture native to Los Angeles.

Just as abstract expressionism remains a constant in NYC, light and space has carried on from the pioneers like James Turrell, Doug Wheeler, and Robert Irwin in LA.

Casper Brindle's Glyph series are a great example of how the next generation has pushed the movement into more colorful and impactful territory.”

Roe Ethridge

“Revisiting themes from her 2023 solo exhibition at Dallas Contemporary, Chiasson’s latest work, Sunday Best, deepens her inquiry into queer identity and self-expression. Demonstrating her prowess in both painting and carpentry, this portrait emerges as a notable achievement in her oeuvre for both its technical mastery and its potent subject matter. Chiasson’s art is imbued with rich symbolism and autobiography, creating a reflective space that engages with the multifaceted theater of queer life.”

Emily Edwards, Associate Curator at Dallas Contemporary

Alexander James

Ragnar Kjartansson

Luke Harnden

“Raised in a household of actors, Ragnar Kjartansson is a master of harnessing the drama and pageantry embedded within everyday experiences — loss and heartbreak, religion and politics, family and friends — with a rare wit that makes banal and ordinary cliches somehow transcendent. This dark and broody watercolor of a stormy night sky, included in his recent retrospective at Louisiana museum in Denmark, is no exception. At about the size of a domestic window, one can imagine the routines of daily life playing out in front of the painting as if it were the backdrop to some theater or opera set, a stage for the monologues and arias of daily life.”

Umar Rashid

Michelle Rawlings

“I am so happy that Umar Rashid donated such an intricate painting to the DC Benefit Auction this year. I love how it juxtaposes his background in street art and hip-hop culture with the overall theme of his work: re-imaging history during the colonial period.

This painting reminds me of propaganda posters from the Cuban Revolution. Still, it features a fascinating character who is a warrior from a time period we can't quite put our finger on. It's one of those paintings I can never get tired of looking at.”
