Vellum presents at Art Fair Tokyo, March 7-10, 2019

February 6, 2019 | Posted in:Vellum News

Vellum Magazine is pleased to present at Art Fair Tokyo. We will feature new paper work by Jennifer Deppe Parker and new ink and paint marker drawings from Marcy Brafman. In her latest series, Parker collages clips of painted over magazines to form abstracted versions of different eyes. For AFT she has created the eyes of several different animals found only in Japan. These include the Koi, a popular water garden fish, Inu a popular dog and the Scops owl. Her work examines how one views the obvious and what we discover when prompted to use our intuition. On the other hand, Brafman finds fuel from the popular cultural icons of yesteryear. Inspired by the old cartoonist George McManus who penned “Bringing up Father” and “Maggie & Jiggs”, her new drawings on vellum, tagged “The War Between Men and Women” harbors gestural fluidity to depict this age old conflict. Her trio of matrimonial satire will be shown individually on each day of the fair akin to a daily comic strip. Both artists have appeared in Vellum magazine and are representative of the kind of work we love and support. Copies of the latest issue and select back issues will also be on hand.
