Glazed ceramic13.5 in x 8.5 in x 8.5 inEmily Yong Beck (b. 1999, Daegu, South Korea) is an interdisciplinary ceramic artist who received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute in 2021. Beck’s work has been featured in the solo exhibitions at Gaa Gallery Provincetown, MA, New Image Art, Los Angeles, CA, Lefebvre et Fils, Paris, FR, and The Pit, Los Angeles, CA. Beck has been awarded residences at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, Newcastle, ME, Township10, Marshall, NC, The Residency Program, Versaille, FR. Beck lives and works in Chicago, IL.&nbsp;Beck’s ceramic practice focuses on the examination of histories within ceramics, and how craft can be weaponized as tools for propaganda. The use of cartoons in her most recent body of work is driven by an investigation of propaganda through familiarity and cuteness. Cartoons are able to convey messages to viewers in a quick, simple, and fun way which makes the use of cartoons effective in rapid distribution of national propaganda. In her work, Beck strives to bring light to historical erasure due to imagery perceived as harmless, while at the same time leaning into the nostalgic warmth of familiar characters.Generously Donated by The PitBuyers are responsible for shipping costs, and quotes will be provided upon purchase.

32.75 in x 43 inAhoy, matey! This painting, showing a red-headed sailor waving his hat while an American flag is hoisted behind him, is reminiscent of maritime art of the 19th century. The youth of his rosy cheeks and short beard contrasted with his tired eyes reflects the contrast between his languid pose and the cannon just beside him. Despite the pale blue sky, the waves look choppy and the passing ship in the distance raises a red flag, signifying&nbsp; hazardous conditions.&nbsp; This artwork captures the tumultuous period of the 19th century as the United States tried to establish itself as a world power and its struggles as a young nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Generously Donated by Andre LaFleurBuyers are responsible for shipping costs, and quotes will be provided upon purchase.
