SEBASTIEN "MR. D 1987" BOILEAU

Sold to The Jones Family

Sebastien “Mr. D” Boileau was born in Versailles France in 1973 and was influenced by the American Pop Art and early Graffiti movement of the 60s, 70s, and early 80s and began his artistic endeavors in Paris in 1987 at the age of 14.

In 1989, Mr. D created his first piece of canvas art, as well as his first large-scale mural.

In the early-90s he began to travel the world, painting in remote countries like Sierra Leone, Tunisia, Senegal, and many western destinations.

In 1995, Mr. D was invited to participate in his first contemporary art group show in Paris.

Mr. D immigrated to the United States in 1998 and in 2000 launched what is now a highly successful “Street Art inspired” mural company in Houston Texas, “Eyeful Art Murals and Designs”, serving both the public and private sectors.

Mr. D describes his style as “Canpressionism” a neo-impressionist texture primarily done with spray paint and street art techniques such as “tagging and paint dripping” creating a “urban impressionism” like texture.

“After 30 years as an artist, the stigma in regards to Urban Art remains, and I want to change people’s perception. My artistic and personal goal is to use my skills, experience, and credibility to demonstrate an “Urban Art as Fine Art” approach while connecting with people around me; Art is for me an emotion more than an aesthetic outcome”.

DEEJON (Dandee Warhol x Marjon F. Aucoin) x The W.I.D.E. School | "Unraveling the Universe"

Sold to Patricia Reid

A collaborative duo by Dandee Warhol & Marjon F. Aucoin

Marjon is a classically trained fine artist whose work depicts lifelike subjects in enchanted surroundings. The models are sinuous and classically beautiful, with luminescent skin and flowing hair, often immersed in natural elements such as smoke, water, or woods. Across her paintings, you’ll find elements embedded that hint at fantasy: a twinkling star, an entwining, mysterious forest, or creatures that play as friends and foe. Marjon’s choice techniques as an artist produce works that emanate from the canvas, with a quality akin to the memory of a story you knew as a child.

Dandee is a self-taught artist who prioritizes the bold, graphic use of color in meticulously designed geometrical patterns. Dandee is also an established curator in Houston, who helped lay the foundation for the thriving local art scene even as it first emerged, by organizing exhibits and fostering community among creatives. In 2010, he curated an all-female artist show, and it was then he met Marjon. In addition to Marjon’s work as an artist and illustrator, she is the co-founder of the W.I.D.E. School, a progressive learning center for children, located just outside of Sugar Land. She serves as the director of the art program, as well as creative director of the school’s educational program. Dandee works alongside her, educating children as young as 18 months old in the foundational study of art. The program, the Yellow House Atelier, continues to grow as a hub of creative innovation. Their students have hosted a range of artists, including photographers, composers, painters, sculptors, and dancers from around the city. Hand in hand, the students at the teachers co-create the journey of learning, paving the many ways art can be used as a medium of education.

ANGELA FABBRI | "Blooming Blue"

Sold to The Davoudi Family

An internationally collected artist best known for her pop flare and electric color palettes – California born, Mississippi raised, and Houston, Texas based, she is completely self-taught with an addiction to color.

Christened by Modern Luxury Houston as “The Innovator” in their December 2018 feature, The Art of Living, along with invitations to show at the Florence Biennale, Spectrum Miami, and ArtExpo NY, the future is looking bright for Fabbri.

Born in Los Angeles, Fabbri discovered her passion for the arts at an early age. She received her first commission at the age of 16, which sparked her passionate pursuit to becoming a full time artist. Fabbri graduated from Mississippi State University in 2005 with a B.A. in Marketing. After her first semester as an art major, she decided a business degree was a better foundation for entrepreneurship. Fabbri, is a completely self taught artist.

Fabbri moved to Houston, TX, in 2010 to further her artistic career. In an effort to loosen up her painting style she assigned herself the exploration of abstract art. With no obvious right or wrong, she explored the meaning of color, texture, balance and composition. Falling in love with the freedom of abstract art, this became her focus for the next seven years.

In 2012, she was invited to show at the Bayou City Art Festival in Houston and in 2013 she was invited to show at the Houston Fine Art Festival and the Austin Fine Art Festival. Fabbri debuted the first of two abstract series, Color Fusion, with her first solo show in 2014. Co-hosted by fashion design house Billy Reid, this show was a wild success with over 150 attendees and a 50% sold out show, followed by the release another successful abstract series, Ripple In Time. Paintings from this series were previously selected to be a part of a Clint Willour juried exhibition as well as featured in the Houston Chronicle’s 2018 editorial project, The Gray Couch Project.

In 2017, Fabbri started Table 22 – a pop up, art infused, culinary experience with guest chefs from Houston’s best. This same year, Fabbri unveiled her much anticipated contemporary realism series, Inversion. Inspired by a painting she completed in 2000, the electric color palettes, playful details, and refined techniques in this series set the stage for her most successful series to date. She has painted, pieces from this series, live at private events for Baccarat, Thrillist, Dos Equis, the Four Seasons and various charity fundraisers. In 2017, the assistant curator for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Anna Katz, selected Fabbri to participate in a group exhibition in Houston, Celebrating Texas Art; then again in 2018 by, Jennie Goldstein, the assistant curator, for the Whitney in NY.

…When you get that call from a friend, “Hey Tara, we have a horse that has hand prints on it from the families that attending Candlelighters Camp Cliff at Camp For All. All of the hand prints and colors represent a type of cancer. We thought it would be great if you could add words and scripture to it!” Of course, I said yes before I truly knew the magnitude of this gift. Danna Lynde saw the horse and screamed, “I’ve always wanted to paint one of these!!!” I knew I couldn’t do it alone, so Danna jumped right in.
