SETH INDIGO CARNES AND IHEART

Seth, who describes himself as “born in California, but made in NYC”, is a conceptual media artist. His thrilling body of work includes video, murals, photography, painting, and performance.

Despite numerous high-profile projects--including music videos for The Roots, Jimmy Fallon's house band--Seth has remained experimental in his approach and aesthetic.

He has also continued to invest in collaborations with artists as diverse as Paul D. Miller (also known as DJ Spooky), Shepard Fairey, Thierry Geoffroy, David Ellis, Polar, and Ali Hossaini.

Taking the idea of collaboration one step further--and adding unprecedented levels of playfulness and accessibility--Seth's debut ArtWeLove series, iheart variation 003, doesn't just allow viewers to interpret his work. Now, you can alter... adapt... transform it.

By selecting and arranging Seth's images in different ways—-then hanging them in an environment of your choice—you get to re-mix and re-interpret the works, making them your own in a bold new manner.

But that's not all! Everyone at ArtWeLove--not to mention Seth himself--would love to see the results you've generated. So, after you've had your way with iheart variation 003, please send a photograph of your installation to collector@artwelove.com. We'll share the results in an upcoming First View.

Happy Collecting!

To me, Paul Manes - 62 years old, Texas-born, New York-based, a creator of works that are simultaneously raw and formal - is the quintessential artist.

Befitting his formal art education, Paul is deeply influenced by the great masters of the Baroque and Renaissance periods.

On the other hand, as an authentic child of the 1960s, he brings 40 years of living - living fully, richly, creatively, surprisingly, and most of all artistically - to his work.

I had the good fortune to meet Paul when I first came to New York in 1998. Back then, I didn't realize what a rare privilege it was to kick back and talk art with his friends and him, friends like renowned art historian Barbara Rose. Can you imagine? Me, new to The States and just starting my art education, discussing Duchamp and German photography with this group? Awesome!

Now let's skip to the present day, or close enough, a few months ago. And, of course, a description of how you can start to collect Paul's brilliant art.

When I told Paul about ArtWeLove, he liked the idea of making one of his works accessible to everyone, not just the Met, the Guggenheim, Yoko Ono, and collectors of that level. But what piece to re-invent for us?

During our studio visit, he asked me to choose my favorite work. I timidly asked for a 2001 drawing, Bowls, which embodies one of his favorite themes and makes particularly elegant use of the chiaroscuro technique. He graciously obliged. I was thrilled. And, now, here you are: Bowls, the ArtWeLove remix.

Why should you be excited about Bowls? Paul seems to say it all when he states, "Bowls are a symbol for humans. Everybody on Earth has a bowl. Everybody on Earth is different; everybody's bowl is different from everybody else's." Bowls are one of the few man-made objects common to all cultures. Yet the diversity and differences across bowls say so much about what we contain and are contained by.

We're offering Bowls as museum-quality, limited-edition, prints available in two sizes: a more intimate 8 x 10 inches, with a print run of only 400, for $50; and a more grandiose 16 x 20 inches, with a print run of only 200, for $100.

These prints are made with fade-resistant, archival-quality ink and are printed on 100% cotton-rag, acid-free, PH-neutral watercolor paper.

Plus, if you look closely on the bottom left, you'll see his original signature!

As always, happy collecting!

Watch our studio interview with Paul.

At the time, Changha was just graduating from Hunter College and had signed with veteran New York art dealer Massimo Audiello. I was lucky enough to acquire a work right before they became highly coveted by major American and European collectors.

Eight years later, this painting is still the focus of lively dinnertime conversations with friends. Yes, it’s the most talked-about artwork in our entire collection!

Perhaps it’s the elegant complexity of Changha’s layering of color and pattern. Perhaps it’s his playful use of negative and positive spaces, his ability to create stunning visual tensions. Or perhaps it’s because his abstractions are somehow liberating, allowing viewers to see what they want (or perhaps need) to see.

Changha has revealed that his color palette is a response to the South Korean environment in which he grew up. At the same time, his works are reminiscent of urban grids, digital media, and other artifacts of postmodern life.

Roller Coaster, created exclusively for ArtWeLove, is no exception. In fact, it’s a unique little jewel: Perfect. Timeless. Inviting. Come on and join Changha’s complex and infinite love for colors, patterns, space, and time. Ultimately, it’s all about you.

Here in New York City, it's hot and humid.

So how cool... refreshing.... almost necessary that today's edition is Brooklyn-based land artist Molly Dilworth's Times Square Pour.

You may remember Molly from a couple of weeks back, when we introduced you to her via the incredibly affordable Daily Practice series. We were delighted to offer Daily Practice at such low prices because it was based upon her recent rooftop paintings, specially planned to be viewable (and enjoyable) via Google Earth's satellites.

Molly's back with another ArtWeLove edition, Times Square Pour. And it's all about keeping cool in the city. Ironically, she's getting hotter and hotter, with glowing reviews in Vogue Italia, on ABC, via WNYC, and throughout the mainstream press.

Times Square Pour comes right on time, as a celebration of Molly’s latest public-art project, "Cool Water, Hot Island", currently on view in Times Square. This installation, occupying 5 public plazas, doesn't just beautify. Her abstracted heat maps reflect sunlight, making the city's hottest and most congested areas more comfortable.

Then again, Molly is all about sharing and technology. Her works are immersive and experiential. She makes herself (and views of her works in progress) accessible via Flickr and Facebook. You can even view live video footage from Times Square via EarthCam.com and watch the progress unfold on Cam 11. Take a look now; you'll see a view from above. Notice how Molly's Times Square installation is a real-life representation of her edition, Times Square Pour.

Now let’s talk about our latest editions, which we’ve timed to coincide with the conclusion of World Cup madness.

Whether you’re a fan or enemy of soccer, you’ll appreciate the spirit of New York City-based Shelter Serra’s latest editions, Game Over and Trophy, both of which explore the ways in which we, as a culture, create our own games, rewards, and perceptions of status as detached from value.

Games have always inspired Shelter. In an interview on Phillips de Pury’s ART expert website, he reminisced about his childhood affection for LEGOs. An activity, like video games, that his uncle Richard Serra encouraged to develop.

Beyond the playful aspect of his works, Shelter methodically investigates our culture’s relationship to status symbols and other icons of identity.

Why do games matter? Perhaps because it’s more delightful (and less confronting) to involve oneself in another’s game than it is to consider one’s own struggle to win in all areas of life, from the financial to the expressive.

Can’t quite decide which edition is worth your indulgence? We feel the same way, which is why we’re offering these editions as diptychs in various sizes: 8 x 10 inches for $35, 11 x 14 inches for $70, and 16 x 20 inches for $140.

Here’s a final bit of irony that, given the themes of Shelter’s art, you’re sure to appreciate: these museum-quality (yet oh-so-affordable) limited editions come with Shelter’s lovely hand-embossed signature.

The games are over! But yours may have just begun. Why not play to win? Enjoy yourself…

We don’t know about you, but as for us, all we can think about is hitting the beach, lighting up our grills, and saying HELLO! to summer.

But we need to focus - just a little bit. Because we have to tell you about our Fourth of July sale.

For this holiday weekend only, two of our most festive editions, Founder by Quentin Curry and Hot Dog by Tomoo Gokita, are 20% off. Simply enter JULYFOURTH at checkout.

Let’s talk about Founder first. In our studio visit, which you can watch here, Quentin talks about his subject, Abraham Lincoln, and how our 16th president took the country down a whole new path, informing identity and delivering liberation in ways that resonate even today.

Equally as synonymous with the Fourth of July, Hot Dog captures the all-access comfort and thrill of an American staple: hot dogs! Since the early 20th century, hot dogs (and the cook-outs where they’re consumed in mass) have become a part of our national mythology. And it’s thanks in no small part to the Nathan's Hot Dog stand in Coney Island, New York. Now, you can bring an amusing reminder of this tradition into your own home, thanks to Tomoo.

So, to recap: From Saturday, the 3rd of July, through Monday, the 5th of July, all sizes of both Founder by Quentin Curry and Hot Dog by Tomoo Gokita will be 20% off their original price! And, don't forget to enter JULYFOURTH to redeem offer at checkout.

That means, $50 artworks are now $40! $300 artworks are now $240! $675 artworks are now $540!

Happy Fourth everyone! And, as always, happy collecting!

May I be candid? I love, love, love Molly’s work. But, then again, of course I do. Her work lies between the intersection of two of my favorite obsessions: digital media and our built environment.

Now here’s something I think you’ll love about Molly: She’s all about making her art accessible. And she’s not afraid to think big -- really, really big -- when it comes to sharing it.

Like, for example, her ArtWeLove series. Or, more specifically, the original paintings upon which it’s based. Molly painted huge city rooftops, calibrating her work to be viewable (and enjoyable) via Google Earth's satellites.

Molly’s images range from abstract color swipes to a type of large-scale pointillism, where pictures snap into focus only when viewed from high in the air. We’ve seen similar attempts before, and they’ve come across as showy, gimmicky, fleeting. Not this. This work is, well, substantial in all senses of the word.

In her video interview, Molly explains how painting is a spiritual practice for her: How she allows herself to be guided by her breathing. How she imagines herself as a vehicle for paint and process. And, just like the daily ritual of yoga, Molly practices painting everyday, for the mind and the body.

Because Molly wants you to make art a part of your daily practice, she has kindly allowed us to select 7 daily practice paintings from her original set of 90, and turn them into a set of super-affordable limited edition archival pigment prints of 150 each.

Each one of these gorgeous daily practices can be yours for just $15.

Yes, you read it right: $15 each!

But that’s not all. If you choose -- if you dare - to purchase the complete set of 7, one for each day of the week, you’ll receive them at a very special price of $75.

Regardless of whether you buy one, some, or all of Molly’s works, these painterly daily reminders will guide you through the week and inspire you take a fresh look at each day.

Now say “ohm”. And, of course, happy collecting!
