A few selections of sculptures by Godeleine de Rosamel () from our Affordable Art page ✨

This curated collection brings together standout works from past exhibitions, all priced at $1,600 or less. Perfect for new collectors and seasoned buyers, these high-impact pieces make it easy to invest in art you love without stretching your budget.

Rooted in a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, ceramics, and found materials, de Rosamel explores the tension between formal precision and tactile immediacy. That tension is heightened through a process that is at once intuitive and technically rigorous. Using a wooden mallet, the artist isolates fragments that retain structural integrity, then recomposes them with newly modeled forms, petals, connective elements, and sculptural structures, alongside previously fired but unresolved ceramic components. Each composition is carefully balanced with close attention to proportion, gravity, rhythm, and movement.

Our Affordable Art page is brimming with fresh new pieces! ✨

This special collection brings together standout works from past exhibitions, all priced at $1,600 or less. Perfect for new collectors and seasoned buyers, these high-impact pieces make it easy to invest in art you love without stretching your budget.

Featured here is a selection of paintings by artist Laura Burke () Working in flattened space and saturated color, Burke creates imagined environments where objects interact symbolically. The absence of human figures invites viewers to inhabit the scene themselves, allowing each painting to feel intimate, personal, and slightly surreal. Her use of pattern and vivid palette heightens emotional intensity, suggesting the texture of memory itself, specific yet malleable, familiar yet dreamlike. Through this process, Burke captures the quiet poetry of ordinary moments, not as they are, but as they are remembered and reimagined.

This special collection brings together standout works from past exhibitions, all priced at $1,600 or less. Perfect for new collectors and seasoned buyers, these high-impact pieces make it easy to invest in art you love without stretching your budget.

Featured here is a selection of paintings by Portland-based artist Mako Miyamoto () Miyamoto immerses viewers in the liminal, rendering geographical landscapes anew through the transformative perspective of infrared photography. Employing a technique that captures wavelengths of light that lie just below the visible threshold, Miyamoto’s images expose a previously invisible world – a world rife with unexpected hues and rich textures that go otherwise unnoticed. “Suspended between the known and the newly perceived, the viewer is invited to wonder where the self is anchored,” explains Miyamoto, “prompting a search for our own coordinates within this spectral whole.”
