What is Expresso? It is not “espresso.” Once coffee has gone extinct, Expresso will be the highest possible form of luxury: images (our greatest currency as a species) that have been captured for you, the viewer, and stuck in place on paper (the humblest of materials). Come join us – come and relish in…Expresso. 

Heather Benjamin:
Heather Benjamin is an artist whose instantly recognizable vocabulary of iconography and tableau have become staples of the 21st century visual landscape. Working across print media, drawing, painting, object and apparel design, Benjamin represents a generational talent whose work will only increase in value and stature as time passes. 

Vanessa Capshaw:
Originally from Texas, but presently living and working in the northern cornfields of Illinois, Vanessa Capshaw is either a UFO, a strange bug, or just a very large cat. When they aren’t drawing dirty cartoons, they’re probably out somewhere lifting heavy objects or pounding obscene amounts of fruit.

Nick Mayer:
Nick Mayer’s work lives (like the artist) in costume and in the shadows.

Sheryl Oppenheim:
Sheryl Oppenheim was born in 1983, raised in Orlando, Florida, and now lives in New York City. She is a paper marbler and maker of illegible books, an idea she first became interested in after seeing the work of Bruno Munari, and through her proximity to books, bookbinders, and marbled paper at her first job in New York, at a bookbinding supply house. She began marbling paper in 2011, and began learning suminagashi in 2016.
