"My paintings are a commentary on the history of painting and image making, and I intentionally draw from a variety of sources to create a multifaceted visual language. "

Based in Los Angeles for just over 20 years, Amir H. Fallah originally moved from the Baltimore area on the East Coast to attend art school. Once finished with their studies, they decided to pursue a graduate degree at UCLA, and after experiencing the beautiful weather and the art scene in LA, never left. Back then, the art world in LA was not as big as it is now, which was actually appealing to Amir. It felt like the Wild West and allowed for more experimentation and rule-breaking compared to the high-stakes and specific trajectory of the East Coast, particularly in New York.

"I feel like that is where the painting gets interesting. Within the mistakes."

In my work I explore the realms of macabre and grotesque ideas and images in a humorous and colourful manner. I take themes like death, cheating, toxic masculinity, beastialty etc.. and bring them into a playful world I built that kind of says "I know these are parts of life no matter how dark, so might as well make fun of them".

"At the end of the day, we really collect what we love."

Born and raised in New York and currently living in Brooklyn with his wife Sarah, Dylan Abruscato has been a collector of things for as long as he can remember. Building connections with creatives has always been a source of inspiration for Dylan and he has been fortunate enough to translate that into the work he currently does in startup marketing alongside his collecting practice.
