KATE FAUVELL, NADERSON SAINT-PIERRE
Kate Fauvell is a visual artist and native New Yorker. She is inspired by people and systems and she constantly photographs these as a way to understand and document the world around her. Kate uses these images to create photo-based collage paintings that explore memory, impermanence, and the inner and visceral experiences that connect people. The fragmentation of torn photos depict how Kate sees our world systems — messy and broken. She uses these images of broken structures to “rebuild” her city, neighborhood by neighborhood, into a place that seeks systemic justice and redefines beauty.
Naderson Saint-Pierre started his creative journey as a Haitian youth living in Florida. Drawing was the foundation, but he soon swapped out pencils for brushes. In his solitude, Naderson used art as a way to detox from life’s daily challenges. For him, something so therapeutic became more than a hobby but a journey in finding himself. Naderson’s paintings evoke deep feelings in his viewers. His goal is to provoke thought and conversation about the world and society. Often autobiographical and rich in narrative, his colorful and compelling portraits highlight and celebrate an image of black identity.
“As I have grown and matured, so has my art. My priority is to create a better understanding and address the elephant in the room.”
- Naderson Saint-Pierre
