BOMBAY SAPPHIRE

Year two of the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series had many high points in its search

to find the next big names in Visual Arts. With over 3000 submissions nationwide,

20 finalists were flown to Miami during Art Basel to display their artwork and be

crowned the winner of the 2011 competition.

In partnership with Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, Bombay Sapphire

provided a platform for these imaginative artists to showcase and sell their work

to the international art elite, galleries, curators and art buyers. Two winners were

selected by a panel of judges to receive their own exhibit at Rush Arts Gallery in

New York.

Andre Guichard, artist, curator, and co-owner of Gallery Guichard Fine Art Gallery in

Chicago, has had the privilege of being exposed to art through the eyes of his father who

painted throughout his childhood. He was also influenced by his cousin, William Dawson:

a late, great outsider artist.

Guichard has been painting professionally for twenty years. His works can be found

in over 1000 corporate and private collections nationally and internationally, including

a special accolade in 2008 when he created an original ornament for the White House

Christmas Tree.

In 2010, Guichard was selected to be the National Curator and spokesperson for the

Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series in partnership with the Rush Philanthropic Foundation.

His dynamic national relationships, understanding of art’s technical aspects and his ability

to see beyond the image have held Guichard in high regard amongst his peers and master

artists.

Chairman of the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. In 2004, Simmons published

Three Days As The Crow Flies, a fictional account of the 1980’s New York art scene.

He has also written a book of artwork and poetry called I Dreamed My People Were

Calling But I Couldn’t Find My Way Home.

Simmons is the son of Daniel Simmons, Sr., a truant officer and black history

professor who also wrote poetry, and Evelyn Simmons, a teacher who painted as a

hobby. He earned a degree in social work from New York University, and a master’s

in public finance from Long Island University. He began painting after he realized

how much he hated his job with the Bureau of Child Support.

Chase Manhattan Bank, the United Nations, and the Schomburg Center for

Research in Black Culture all show Simmons’ work as part of their collections.

He is also an avid collector of African art, as well as comic books.

NATIONAL FINALISTS

S. ROSS BROwNE wASHINGTON, dC

S. Ross Browne’s vision for art tends to be an exploration of

relationships. Inherent in that exploration, is the quest for truth

in the parade of ‘isms’. The visual aesthetic coupled with the

social and psychological commentary of the human condition is

the engine with which Ross propels his various mediums. Ross

embraces art as a poignant example of evolution as portrayed

through the mind and soul.

“Persistence Of History”

AL BURTS wASHINGTON, dC

“Reciprocity”

Al Burts studied Fashion Illustration at Virginia Commonwealth

University and summer drawing at The Corcoran School of the

Arts. He is an alumnus of The Duke Ellington School of the

Arts In Washington, DC, a retiree of The National Gallery of Art

and a Gulf War Veteran. His work seizes a range of emotions

from the quiet beauty that only age gives to the absolute

innocence of youth.

MICHAEL COAkESCHICAGO, IL

“In my work, rather than try to tell a story or make a point, I

prefer creating images that leave some room for interpretation

by the viewers. It’s this interpretation that becomes the final

element of the image which completes it uniquely for each of

them.”

Michael Coakes’ photography captures the subtly sensual

movements of the woman’s body in his series titled

“Liquescence.” Michael often used the phrase “the fluidity

of the female form” to explain his earlier work. It was that

phrase that inspired the concept for this more recent series.

Michael produces commercial and fine art photography in his

studio in Chicago, and his work resides in a number of private

collections around the world.

“Liquescence 5”

FRANk FRAzIERdALLAS, TX

“Damn Tired Of Sit In”

Frank Frazier is a world-renowned artist with little popularity

in his domestic country. As a Harlem, NY native, it is clear

Frank Frazier’s paintings have been heavily influenced by his

background and rich ancestral history. While some critics

consider his work offensive and racist, he takes pride in his

cultural perspective and believes it is important the world has a

clear understanding of the Black experience.

Frank’s works have depicted everything from the civil rights

movement to jovial jazz concerts. He has pioneered the way for

other minority artists. His activism and dedication to his family

has resulted in global praise.

GERALd GRIFF INCHICAGO, IL

Gerald Griffin creates work that can soothe and stir the soul.

He is a master of several disciplines including stone carving,

bronze sculpture, oil, watercolor, pastel painting, and poetry.

His subject matter is wide-ranging, however the theme of his

work primarily deals around the introspective identity of the

African-American collective. In addition, Gerald creates works

that make a profound statement about the human condition as a

whole. As a result, he has been described as a visionary artist

of consciousness.

Individual collectors include: former United States President

and First Lady, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse

Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Chris Gardner, comedians Steve

Harvey and Adele Givens, actor Wesley Snipes, NBA players

Hollis Copland and Lindsey Hunter, and recording artists Mavis

Staples, Jennifer Holiday and Will Downing.

“The Empty Space”

NICOLE HAYdENSAN FRANCISCO, CA

“Tout Le Monde En Veux Et J’en Veux Aussi”

The subject of each of Nicole Hayden’s striking figurative

paintings is lifted from a reference photograph. Whether

unearthed from her family’s albums, a vintage magazine, or

taken by the artist herself, she finds herself drawn to pictures

of the glamorous film stars from cinema’s golden era.

Nicole is particularly drawn to the flattening effect of film.

She enhances this effect by applying intricate patterning to

her backgrounds, often employing gold or silver leaf. These

precious metals turn the femme fatales that star in Nicole’s

paintings into modern-day icons.

NAPOLEON JONES-HENdERSONBOSTON, MA

“My work in its essence is spiritual; meaning-full. We must be

about the business of expressing what is beautiful: ourselves.”

A Chicago native - born in 1943, Napoleon Jones-Henderson

felt it was his duty to express the feelings and needs of

African-Americans in America through art. He joined

AfriCOBRA in 1969, a Chicago-based organization designed

to celebrate African-American beauty and culture through a

variety of artistic mediums. Currently the longest standing

member in the group, Napoleon created large pictorial

weavings that were included in the group’s important series

of exhibitions mounted at the Studio Museum in Harlem in the

early 1970s.

“4 Little Girls”

HERNAN MIRANdAMIAMI, FL

“Exodo II”

Hernan Miranda is a world-renowned, self-taught painter, born

in 1960 in Concepcion, Paraguay. His fundamental technique

develops from his obsession with the light of the “Tenebristas”

painters. After studying the form and colors of their

composition, the artist considers “light” as being the protagonist

of all his paintings.

Hernan’s work has been exhibited in Washington, DC, New York,

Paris, and Seoul.

“The Will”

CHARLOTTE RILEY-wEBBATLANTA, GA

“Serenity”

Born in Atlanta, Georgia but raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Charlotte

Riley-Webb received her education from The Cleveland Institute

of Art. In her artistic journey, Charlotte explored rhythmic

paintings, sculpture, and book illustration.

An evolution of study and growth expansion has led Charlotte

to abstract art. She has woven her shapes and colors into

unique colorful schemes that often dance across the canvas

in staccato strokes and marks. Her painted canvases stretch

beyond six feet. Abstract art has afforded her the time and

space to expand her canvases and her artistic depth.

SHEENA vAUGHNONLINE

Sheena Vaughn’s intuitive abstract paintings tell subconscious

narratives of the deep stories of the soul. She cites in her work

issues of observation, reflection and confession. While these

subjects are prefaced by her solicitous use of pigments, the

symbolism used uninhibitedly exposes vulnerability.

Sheena’s use of symbols also act as both a stabilizing

balance and an ingenious hint towards her abstraction. Her

introspective work effectively acts as a reminder that it is

important to listen to the story of the self.

“Blue Industry”

MARGARET ROSE vENdRYESBOSTON, MA

“African Diva (Aretha)”

Like many artists of African descent before her, Margaret Rose

Vendryes is inspired by the African diaspora’s magnificence.

Capturing face and body language in oil on canvas, or with

elements arranged in a container, represents more than

rendering just a likeness.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1955 and raised in Queens, New

York in the 1960’s - Margaret has been filled with a strong

sense of African-American pride that is apparent in her

artwork. The provocative, aggressive, and sensual beauty of

the arts born of Africa are at the center of her current practice

and self.

Miguel Ovalle has made a reputation for himself as a man with many talents. Growing up in an impoverished

neighborhood, Miguel found sanctuary in art at an early age. In high school, he was introduced to hip-hop, a movement

that gave him the opportunity to discover graffiti as a new art form. Now popularly known as graffiti artist, Dizmology,

Miguel has marked each corner of the world with his creativity.

Miguel worked on art projects for Sony, United Colors of Benetton and other independent streetwear brands in Tokyo.

Miguel came to New York in 2000. Since then he has been making his impact on the art world as a sculptor, painter,

illustrator, graphic designer and fashion designer.

“My work represents a medley of different textures that stimulate the senses, making the art not just a thing of beauty

to be admired from a distance, but something we can feel connected to through the expression of touch. It’s a way of

revealing an image without actually being able to control it, letting it come about itself.

I broke down the element of encaustics with lines and the streamlines of simplicity to encourage a sense of openness. In

this way, it becomes fluid and free flowing. The patterns and textures formed by the wax embody a sense of times and

continuity.”

LeRone Wilson is currently a Professional Exhibit Designer/Specialist residing in New York City.
