Title Round Thomas Frontini Untitled (Sailboat), 2019 Oil on panel 24 1/2 x 20 1/2 inches Estimated Value Range: $4,000 - $7,000 Starting Bid: $2,000 Bidding increments: $250 Many of Thomas Frontini’s allegorical images are set near the sea. In this exceptional work, the sailboat is the powerful subject, standing proud and strong as small elements play on the sand in the foreground. Frontini (b. 1967, Canada) creates paintings that resonate with anyone who cherishes the tranquil beauty of lake and boat life. His work blends the serenity of nature with dreamlike, fantastical imagery, capturing both the calm and mystery of the natural world. Using surrealist techniques—detailed foregrounds layered over atmospheric backdrops—Frontini constructs immersive scenes that juxtapose contemporary objects with historical references. His compositions explore the magic in the mundane and tap into the transformative power of the subconscious, creating metaphors for human experience and meditations on the tension between fantasy and reality. Influenced by his Italian heritage and a deep interest in art history, Frontini’s palette and technical approach reflect a cross-temporal dialogue that merges past and present. Towering landscapes stretch around intricately rendered flora and fauna; thick clouds and cliff faces house futuristic, miniature habitats. Abstract forms glow with light and distance, offering glimpses into imagined futures. The work feels both grounded and otherworldly—rooted in tradition but aimed toward speculative potential. Through careful symbolism and measured ambiguity, Frontini invites viewers into a world where the seen and unseen coexist, and where rituals, memories, and nature intertwine. More: Thomas Frontini Artist Statement "Fantasy and reality are always clashing in one's consciousness, particularly in dreams. Despite technological advances, humans will always rely primarily on basic instinct. My paintings depict the cyclical nature of life, the tendency for humankind to continually return to past tendencies. I often incorporate shrines as a subject in my work to comment on how societies evolve—moving away from insignificant rituals to more enlightened ideas—but in the end, the rituals continue. The shrines are not destroyed; they are simply transformed. Through these images, I attempt to portray the way that fantasy and reality coexist, often in the most unexpected and surreal forms." About the Artist Thomas Frontini received a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and an MFA from Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He has exhibited widely across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Solo exhibitions of his work have been held at venues including the Richard Levy Gallery (Albuquerque, NM), William Busta Gallery (Cleveland, OH), and as part of the Venice Biennale satellite programming in Italy, coinciding with the release of his monograph. His work has also appeared in group exhibitions in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Istanbul, and Santa Fe. Frontini’s paintings are included in several prominent private and public collections, such as the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, Korea, and the Cleveland Clinic Collection in Ohio.

Title Round Derek Hess Fishbone , 1994 Serigraph, ed. 100/200 Framed: 27 x 16 inches Estimated Value Range: $400 - $800 Starting Bid: $200 Bidding increments: $50 More: Derek Hess Born in Cleveland in 1964, Hess’ ascendance in the arts should probably come as little surprise. His father, Roy Hess, was a noteworthy designer, and chairman of the lauded industrial design department at the Cleveland Institute of Art. From a young age, Hess was correctly trained in classical art and design. Hess studied at that school, and at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, but he never landed in his father’s department, trying out illustration and graphic design before settling on a major in printmaking. It was that discipline, combined with his love of music, that led Hess to poster art fame. He had begun booking post-hardcore and underground rock concerts at the Euclid Tavern, a divey blues bar across the street from the Cleveland Institute of Art, and he drew his own fliers to promote his shows.

Title Round Daniel Kelly Noir , 2024 Woodblock, Echizen Kozo paper unframed, 23 x 28 inches Estimated Value Range: $2,500 - $3,500 Starting Bid: $1,250 Bidding increments: $250 The Fowlers met Daniel Kelly in a bar in Japan. As fellow Americans traveling abroad, they began talking and sharing their travels and interests. Drawn to Kelly’s devotion to Japanese culture and intrigued by his aesthetic, the Fowlers acquired several of his artworks over the years and maintained a strong friendship with the artist. Kelly (b. 1947, Idaho Falls, ID) is an American painter, printmaker, and multimedia artist based in Kyoto, Japan. His work seamlessly blends Western and Eastern influences, particularly through his expertise in Japanese woodblock printing, while also embracing contemporary techniques. Kelly’s art reflects a deep exploration of texture, cultural fusion, and symbolic narratives, offering a unique perspective on both personal and collective histories. More: Daniel Kelly Artistic Practice Kelly’s artistic process begins with creating three-dimensional collages, which often incorporate materials indigenous to Japan, such as tatami mats and bamboo. These collages serve as a foundation for his mixed-media paintings, where he explores the relationship between space, form, and symbolism. In his printmaking, Kelly works primarily with woodblock and lithography, using chine-collé techniques to integrate elements like antique Japanese book pages, ukiyo-e prints, and calligraphy. By fusing these materials into his prints, Kelly creates intricate visual narratives that draw from both Eastern traditions and his Western background. Kelly’s woodblock prints are notable for their large scale—he is believed to have created the largest woodblock prints ever made in Japan. The detailed and layered nature of his work is both a technical feat and a rich reflection of his ongoing dialogue with cultural memory. In his paintings, Kelly continues to explore the themes of texture, cultural exchange, and the natural world, often incorporating elements of personal and mythological symbolism to infuse his work with deep emotional resonance. Notable Works and Exhibitions Kelly’s work has been featured in major exhibitions and collections worldwide, and his prints and paintings are celebrated for their striking technical precision and cultural depth. His exhibitions have spanned continents, showcasing his contributions to the world of printmaking and painting. He has also been instrumental in bringing traditional Japanese techniques to a wider audience, all while incorporating elements of his own cultural heritage. About the Artist Kelly’s interest in art began in childhood, particularly through his exposure to the Western works of C.M. Russell, whose depictions of the American West left a lasting impression. His formal art education began at the University of Oregon, where he studied glassblowing and ceramics before discovering his passion for Japanese art. A pivotal moment came when he purchased a book about Japanese woodblock prints by Tomikichirō Tokuriki, which led him to travel to Kyoto. There, he studied under Tokuriki, eventually becoming an apprentice. This apprenticeship would shape his artistic voice and propel him into a career dedicated to the exploration of traditional printmaking techniques within a modern context. Kelly’s prints and paintings blend the historical with the contemporary, inviting viewers to contemplate themes of identity, history, and the natural environment. His work, often described as poetic and meditative, captures the subtle nuances of cultural exchange and the universality of human experience.

Rosen’s investigation into the visual possibilities of language has been her primary focus since 1968, when she traded in the academic study of languages for the study of language- based art. Through paintings, drawings, murals, prints, collages, and videos, Rosen has sought to generate new meaning from everyday words and phrases by substituting scale, color, materials, composition, graphic design, and typography for the printed page. Her large-scale mural, Divisibility , opened as a part of the first FRONT Cleveland Triennial in 2018.

Title Round Simone Shubuck Ottoman , 2006 Lithograph, edition of 40 Framed: 19 3/4 x 15 1/2 inches Estimated Value Range: $500 - $800 Starting Bid: $200 Bidding increments: $50 More: Simone Shubuck Born in 1969, Simone Shubuck received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has had a solo exhibition with Zach Feuer Gallery (LFL) in New York and has exhibited works in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and San Francisco. Her work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Tokion, Elle, The Fader, ARTnews and is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Shubuck’s work is informed by a range of experiences, from her days as a graffiti artist in San Francisco in the early 90’s to her years as a flower designer in New York City. She professes an affinity for Viennese Secessionists and Art Nouveau practices as well as the work of such outsider artists as Edmund Monsieul and Lee Godie. Her visual style parallels her obsession with the layered sampling of hip-hop artists like Jay-Z, Dipset, Cam’ron and Young Jeezy. Another notable influence comes from her maternal grandmother and great-grandmother, who were skilled bakers and embroiderers.

Title Round Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya Suite Pour L'invisible by Ana Roxanne , 2023 Lil mariachi sombrero from Coyoacán, dragon skin silicone, car parts found passing a dry arroyo, rabbit pelt, a black t-shirt stained with avocado oil, sequins, shards of found plexiglass 10 x 18 x 5 inches Estimated Value Range: $3,000 - $5,000 Starting Bid: $1,500 Bidding increments: $250 moCa presented Ruben Ulises Rodríguez Montoya’s first solo US exhibition, part of our Toby’s Prize series, in 2024 to great reception. Writing about the show, ArtNews noted that he is among one of few challenging dominant tastes in Latinx art, noting that his sculptures are bound to stand out. moCa will publish his first major catalog in partnership with LA-based X Artists’ Books this year. Montoya (b. 1989, Parral, Chihuahua, MX) is a multidisciplinary artist and myth-maker whose works delve into border culture, abjection, mestizaje, and the intersection of human, animal, and land. Drawing from speculative fiction, cultural mythologies, and the labor of his family, Montoya’s practice hybridizes and creates parallel worlds that interrogate violence, environmental destruction, and the erasure of communities of color. His works manifest as fantastical beings, often shaped through the lens of magical realism and Nahualismo, and invite viewers to consider how adaptation and transformation can lead to healing in a post-apocalyptic future. More: Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya Artistic Practice Montoya’s sculptures and installations are created using silicone and reclaimed materials, often salvaged from deserts near his childhood home in New Mexico or the streets of Mexico City, where he currently resides. These materials come from discarded objects, providing a tactile link to a post-apocalyptic future where environmental destruction and violence have ravaged the land. Montoya views his sculptures as Nahuales —shape-shifting beings that oscillate between human and animal forms. These beings act as metaphors for the body, exploring how violence eradicates communities of color and how regeneration, decay, and transformation can provide new meanings for survival and protection. His work engages deeply with Mesoamerican cosmology and the idea of constant flux, healing, and the continuous cycles of life and death. Notable Works and Exhibitions In addition to moCa Cleveland, Montoya’s works have been showcased in solo and group exhibitions at institutions such as the Palm Springs Art Museum (CA), the Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art (AZ), and the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (VA). He has also exhibited at renowned galleries including Commonwealth and Council (Los Angeles, CA) and Sargent’s Daughters (New York, NY). His work has been reviewed in artnet news, Hyperallergic, The New York Times, and Contemporary Art Review LA. Montoya is represented by Sargent’s Daughters in New York. About the Artist Montoya graduated with an MFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2020. His work often addresses the boundaries between the human, the animal, and the environment, using hybridity and transformation as a metaphor for the racial and social struggles experienced by marginalized communities. His fantastical beings, inspired by themes of abjection and adaptation, highlight the dualities of beauty and horror and the ways in which violence is enacted on these communities, while also reflecting a possibility for regeneration and renewal.

Title Round Jessica Mein Trama Seis , 2014 Paper 18 1/2 x 26 inches Estimated Value Range: $2,500 - $3,500 Starting Bid: $1,000 Bidding increments: $100 Jessica Mein (b. 1975, São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian artist whose work spans across drawing, animation, and physical investigations of discarded billboards, often from her hometown of São Paulo, and hand-printed hemp bags from Dubai. Her art challenges traditional boundaries between image, surface, and structure, frequently questioning the very materials that support her creations. More: Jessica Mein Artistic Practice Mein’s work is deeply rooted in labor and construction, which is reflected in her use of the Portuguese word obra (meaning both "work of art" and "construction site") to describe her practice. She often repurposes images from obsolete billboards, especially in the context of São Paulo’s ban on outdoor advertisements, where the works subvert censorship by recycling these materials for new purposes. Mein’s process includes unthreading, puncturing, and unraveling canvas and fabric, reminiscent of the work of Lucio Fontana, to reveal the raw, structural elements behind the image. This deconstruction reveals the object's physicality, turning the artwork into both a finished product and a site of ongoing creation. Mein also engages with the notion of tramas —a Portuguese word signifying both tapestry and entanglement —which relates to her intricate manipulation of materials. In her series Obra Quarenta e Quatro , the artist explores systems of production through obsolete billboard fragments transferred to hemp, a slow and labor-intensive process. Through her unthreading, cutting, and imprinting processes, Mein creates abstract compositions that juxtapose the image and its material base, emphasizing the relationship between surface and structure. Notable Works and Exhibitions Mein has exhibited widely in solo and group shows across the world, with notable exhibitions at El Museo del Barrio (New York), Museo Tamayo de Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City), The Julia Stoschek Foundation (Düsseldorf), and the Drawing Center (New York). Her solo exhibitions include Obras at Simon Preston Gallery (New York) and Tramas at Galeria Leme (São Paulo), where she presented new wall-based works and large-scale spatial structures that further explore the boundaries between image and support. About the Artist Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Mein’s work investigates the intersection of physicality, urban spaces, and the rapidly disappearing materials of the past. Drawing inspiration from the outdated billboard structures of São Paulo and the hand-printed hemp bags found in Dubai, Mein focuses on the obsolescence of visual culture and the labor-intensive production of images. Her artistic investigations emphasize the tension between the rapidly changing world of digital imagery and the slow, deliberate handcraft of her own work. Currently residing in Dubai, Mein is a resident artist in the A.i.R. program run by Art Dubai, Delfina Foundation, and Tashkeel.
