101 • Erwan Bouroullec
The drawings in 101 are made with a software application conceived by Erwan Bouroullec which extracts lines and colors out of photographs. Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, born 1971 and 1976, respectively, in Quimper, France, studied at the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Cergy-Pontoise. Ronan began independent design work immediately after completing his studies, while his brother, who was still in school, assisted him. Since 1999 both brothers have worked together as joint partners in their own Paris-based design studio. Their work has covered many fields ranging from the design of small objects as jewelry to spatial arrangements and architecture, from craftsmanship to industrial scale, from drawings to videos and photography. The designers also maintain an experimental activity with Gallery kreo, which is essential to the development of their work. - Nieves Books$30.00 -
40 Views of Colonial Fabric Softener • Umar Rashid
“40 Views of Colonial Fabric Softener is a series of drawings created in early 2019 that reference the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 19th Century. I remixed the traditional, historical narrative and changed the characters to fit my vast, reimagined, global history of colonialism. Focusing this time on the westward expansion of the United States and the subsequent conflict with the Native American societies east of the Mississippi River. The title is taken from a series of woodblock prints by the Japanese artist, Katsushika Hokusai and his well known work, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.” — Umar Rashid$15.00 -
Adirondacks • Philippe Weisbecker
This book is based on an Adirondack furniture book donated to Philippe Weisbecker 20 years ago by a New York friend who worked in a hardware store. "I've always loved rustic furniture, made from stumps, branches or pieces of wood. Initially I wanted to faithfully reproduce the furniture in the book. Very quickly, I realized that I was especially interested in the skeleton of these pieces of furniture, their structures and the vectors of force that govern them. Little by little, I even came to free myself from these parameters to arrive at simpler structural compositions, halfway between figuration and abstraction." Philippe Weisbecker$20.00 -
Bangkok Shanghai Stefan Marx
“On his visit to Thailand and China, Stefan Marx drew visual notes and sketches of people and the many passengers on the flights from Shanghai, with a stop in Bangkok back to Germany, paying particular attention to their hairstyles and distinctly fashions and presenting them as individual portraits.” – from the publisher$20.00 -
Chateau Suite Drawings • Eddie Martinez
Eddie Martinez is an artist currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York. For Nieves, Martinez has completed an exclusive group of drawings on hotel stationery from the infamous Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles, which truly celebrate his unique style of assembling reoccurring characters, objects, and motifs that loosely recreate everyday life into chaotic and exhilarating events.$200.00 -
Cillit, Bang, Dash, Omo And Friends • Beni Bischof
Known for his dark and obvious disposition for chaos, Swiss artist Beni Bischof creates frenzied drawings, paintings, collages, sculptures, and photo-manipulations that expose the everyday banality of contemporary society. Cillit, Bang, Dash, Omo And Friends is a collection of strange black and gray paintings that shift between abstract patterns and human identity, both lurking beneath the shadows. Dark, violent faces materialize within a cluster of wavy lines, splatters of black ink transform into a sea of dead bodies, and faceless creatures prowl the pages, projecting a malevolence that reverberates within the thick washes of paint.$40.00 -
Coming Back is Half the Trip • Geoff McFetridge
The work of Geoff McFetridge is concerned with the human condition. He engages existence and semiotics from a curious, pragmatic, poetic and personal point of departure. His paintings, drawings and sculptures often (quite literally) circle around topics such as beginning and end, relation and understanding, perception, the transcendental and the unconscious. But in McFetridge’s work these common human themes are investigated with the lightness of an intuitive graphic vocabulary. Complex and dense while equally fragile and sparse, McFetridge’s visual language is dance and mountaineering: heavy in preparation, light in execution. Coming Back Is Half The Trip consists of studies for paintings and sculptures shown in his fourth solo exhibition with V1 Gallery / Eighteen in Copenhagen. The book, in conjunction with the exhibition, offers new approaches to cognition. McFetridge ventures on to the ledge of meaning, bringing us with him on a trip that we can sense, but struggle to verbalize. A meditative, empathic state of mind, where we are connected beyond time and words in recognition of our complex existence. Visual art.$120.00 -
Complicated Clown • Yannick Vel Gesto
Yannick Val Gesto admits to a self-confessed tendency to look for ‘hidden gems’ online — an act which fuels his art practice. He tries to find ‘rare’ pieces of visual integrity that can range from fan art to photographs to personalised memes, etc. What is most important to him throughout the search for visual material is that there be a notion of emotion or expression, a longing for happiness in digitalisation, no matter how naive or ugly the piece might be. It’s this specific type of visual information that he likes to alter into something of his own. This results in compositions and drawings drenched with unconventional aesthetics. Yannick Val Gesto (born 1987, Borgerhout, Belgium) is most interested in cyberculture, psychology and image-making. His drawings and installations explore the relationship between digital perfection, expression and human error. He has exhibited internationally at places like Higher Pictures (US), Bid Project Gallery (IT), Sunday Art Fair (UK), NRW-Forum (DE) and Ausstellungsraum Klingental (CH). He is currently living and working in Hemiksem (BE) and is represented by Levy.Delval (BE) and Cinnnamon (NL).$20.00 -
Devils and Babies • Harmony Korine
When I was young my dad bought me a pair of uneven stilts. He always bought me gifts like trampolines and model kits. When I was old enough he bought me a hooker. He told me that she was his friend and that she liked little boys. I was in love with a ballet girl named Shirly. She was short and beautiful, she wore silver slippers and black bifocals. When I made love to the prostitute my father watched, he was telling me what to do, "Good job, now rub her ass." My father hated ballet so he refused to let me see Shirly.

Fireworks • Mike Mills
“Some things that may or may not relate to these drawings: A professional suggested I take anti-depressants. I declined. About the same time I started drawing fireworks. I didn’t know what they meant or why I was drawing them. I was confused and embarrassed by this lack of meaning, but they kept coming. I could draw them no matter how I felt. I read that fireworks were first used in China in the 12th century to scare away negative spirits. I envied a world that not only recognized spirits, but scared the negative ones away with small man made explosions. About the same time, I read in a magazine that antidepressants have a hard time performing better than the placebo pills they are tested against. Scientist cannot explain it, but almost as many people who take the fake pills say they feel relief from their depression. The blood flow in their brains actually changes in the same positive way that it does for the people who take the real pills. I felt a connection between the Chinese fireworks and the placebo effect, and some relief in all the things we don’t understand. At some point the fireworks grew more and more abstract, and messy, and complicated, and I became if not content then at least willing to make things that didn’t have any apparent meaning.” - Mike Mills$100.00 -
Gaijin Parade • Matt Leines
The Japanese word gaijin is a conflation of two descriptors: gai meaning “outside” and jin meaning “person.” Typically a term reserved for foreigners, this illustrated zine by the Brooklyn-based Matt Leines presents a celebratory sequence of extra-anthro caricatures ranging from the abject to the abstractly naïve. Employing a graphic ‘80s geometry, the textures of early-internet digital illustration programs, and the influence of Japanese anime, Gaijin Parade is a gallery-style freak show of surrealistic and absurdist delight.$20.00 -

Heathwave Club Classics • Dennis Tyfus
Belgian artist and musician, Dennis Tyfus seems to be quite the Renaissance man with his fingers in many many pies. For this zine, he presents images made during a particularly sweltering vacation in Perth, Australia. Collages, paintings and drawings extract and subvert realities with heavy-handed textures and geometric configurations.$50.00 -
I Love You • Susan Cianciolo
Susan Cianciolo puts love into everything she creates. Long recognized for her clothing line, Run, Cianciolo’s boundless creativity is evident throughout her multifaceted practice, which includes designing books, theatre costumes, films and forms of ephemera that defy the categorizations of fashion, craft and art.
