- Derek-Hess-Fishbone | moCa Cleveland
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.
- Daniel-Kelly | moCa Cleveland
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.

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.

In his paintings, he uses a brushless approach that points to and expands upon the legacy of Abstract Expressionism. His canvases, densely packed with pigment, are textural landscapes formed by craters, blotches, and clumps of oil paint. Opting to use his hands instead of a paintbrush, Ways and Means 2 is strongly gestural, balancing moments of aggressive action with delicate touch to create a chaotic yet harmonious composition.
