MARK MOORE FINE ART presents “Pattern Harvest,” an exclusive ARTSY online exhibition of eighteen new paintings by ALEX BLAU.

Blau’s geometric works draw on disposable consumer goods, computer-generated architecture, and mandala-like forms to explore abstraction’s role in mass culture. Influences run from Ellsworth Kelly and Jeff Koons to the glossy colors of snack packaging.

Made by layering clear acrylic over airbrushed patterns, these small, soft-edged, shaped paintings have surfaces with real depth—cracks and imperfections are sealed into the work, leaving visible “scars” that reveal their handmade origins. Blau’s focus on materiality and sculptural presence aligns her with artists like Kelly and Frank Stella.

A devoted fan of snack-packaging aesthetics, Blau covers one studio wall with chip and snack wrappers sent from around the world. Their saturated colors and bold graphics often jumpstart her fully abstract compositions, placing high art references and everyday design on equal footing—a fitting visual democracy for the Internet age.

Blau holds an MFA from RISD and has presented solo exhibitions at the Frist Center, Firecat Projects (Chicago), Gallery Seomi (Seoul), Mark Moore Gallery (Santa Monica), Kevin Bruk Gallery (Miami), Barbara Davis Gallery (Houston), and the New Britain Museum of American Art. She currently teaches at Vanderbilt University and Austin Peay State University.

✨ Mark Moore Fine Art presents “Familiar”—an exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition by Heidi Schwegler! ✨

Blending found objects with traditional sculpture, Heidi draws inspiration from her own story of resilience—growing up with severe lazy eye and learning the power of transformation. In this new work, she sculpts her “familiar”: a personal alter ego born from the spirits of the desert—coyote, mountain lion, and roadrunner—woven together with cholla and Mojave relics. Each piece is a tribute to survival, adaptation, and the wild beauty of the desert.

About Heidi: She transforms urban and desert fragments into striking works using glass, gold, and silver. Founder of Yucca Valley Material Lab, her art is part of collections at Portland Art Museum, Laguna Art Museum, Schneider Museum, Crocker Museum, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation.

Excited to announce: Joshua Dildine’s first ARTSY online exclusive in 5 years! 🎨 “Wooly Bugger” features 8 new works by this California-based painter, from vibrant canvases to mixed-media pieces on photographs.

In this series, Dildine blends found autobiographical photos with dynamic, gestural painting to explore memory, family, and the quirks of nostalgia. Using images from fly fishing trips, he layers brushwork, saturated color, and digital (even AI) manipulations to disrupt and reinvent the original photos—blurring the boundaries between photography, painting, and abstraction.

Dive into the turbulence, clarity, and visual flux in these pieces that capture the ever-changing experience of wading through water and memory.

About the artist: Dildine earned his MFA from Claremont Graduate University and has exhibited across California and beyond. His work is held in multiple museum collections.
