Alicia Aberdeen-Jones is a multifaceted artist and entrepreneur, renowned as the founder and co-owner of Alicia Aberdeen Art, LLC, a creative venture she established with her husband, Jonathan, combining their professional expertise in finance, accounting, and contract management. While her corporate background ensures her shrewdness in business, Alicia is the creative engine of the company—an accomplished artist and an inspiring educator. Born in Trinidad, Alicia moved to New York City in 2002, leaving behind a corporate career to pursue her artistic passions in 2009. Starting with an internship at The Brownstone in Harlem, she began to immerse herself in the art world, honing her business acumen while nurturing her creative talents. Alicia later worked at a Cisco Partner, where she served in management for five years, all while continuing her artistic journey. Her first public exhibit took place in 2005 at the Trinidad and Tobago Consulate in New York City, where she was the sole female artist featured among six Caribbean creatives. The positive reception of her work led to numerous commissions, including her first major piece, "De Dance," a three-panel artwork inspired by Ernie Barnes' "Sugar Shack," tailored specifically to a client's vision. Mrs. Aberdeen-Jones' artistic style is immensely versatile, embracing various media—from 2D animation and special effects to painting and mixed media. She stands out not only as an artist but also as an experimental storyteller, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of expression, which even extends to voice acting. Over the years, Alicia has enjoyed several exhibitions, including her powerful portrait, "Nina Speaks," which honors the legendary Nina Simone. This 24-carat gold-fused piece was featured in "The Nina Simone Experience" in Atlanta and caught the attention of Simone's daughter, Lisa ‘Simone' Kelly, earning her the YGB [Young Black and Gifted] Award. A devoted mother, Mrs. Aberdeen-Jones welcomed her daughter, Zoe, in 2011, shortly after earning her Bachelor's Degree in Media Arts and Animation. She began teaching art at a Catholic school and continued to build her portfolio, frequently showcasing her work across galleries and events in New York. Notable moments in her career include being a featured artist at the Van de Plas Gallery in 2018 and hosting various paint nights throughout the year. Her first solo show, "Paintings In The Garden," debuted in September 2019 and celebrated its successful sixth installment in December 2024, garnering a Proclamation from NY Senator Kevin S. Parker, Chairman of Committee on Energy and Telecommunications, in recognition of her contributions. Her passion lies in helping seniors and homeless people, and to that her advocacy is for the following organizations: Coalition For The Homeless-NYC + Serenity Empowerment Rehab Center for Women in Trinidad.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts live election night coverage of the tussle for the White House. Gus predicted the return of Donald J. Trump, but VP Kamala Harris may surprise Gus. We'll see if non-white listeners voted or if folks have read anything about violence related to the election in their part of the world. During the course of the broadcast, we learned that Florida rejected recreational cannabis. Governor Ron Desantis beamed with pride. Gus attempted to avoid the hoopla of the day by hiding out at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Their 7 floors of paintings, sculptures and photographs includes dozens of works that deal directly with the System of White Supremacy. Gus was especially impressed with the brilliance of Ernie Barnes and Robert Colescott - two black male painters. However, Gus was stunned to learn that SFMOMA is an election voting center - probably because of its central location easy access. This made Gus a lot more anxious about being on the premises with the threat of White electoral violence. #SkylerPhilippi #FourMoreYearsOfTrump #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

From acclaimed author and illustrator Don Tate, the picture book Pigskins to Paintbrushes tells the rousing story of Ernie Barnes, an African American pro football player and fine artist.He realized how football and art were one and the same. Both required rhythm. Both required technique. Passing, pulling, breaking down the field—that was an art.Young Ernie Barnes wasn't like other boys his age. Bullied for being shy, overweight, and uninterested in sports like boys were “supposed” to be, he instead took refuge in his sketchbook, in vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes, and flowing lines. But growing up in a poor, Black neighborhood during the 1930s, opportunities to learn about art were rare, and art museums were off-limits because of segregation laws. Discouraged and tired of being teased, Ernie joined the school football team. Although reluctant at first, he would soon become a star.But art remained in Ernie's heart and followed him through high school, college, and into the NFL. Ernie saw art all around him: in the dynamic energy of the game, the precision of plays, and the nimble movement of his teammates. He poured his passion into his game and his craft and became famous as both a professional athlete and as an artist, whose paintings reflected his love of the sport and celebrated Black bodies as graceful and beautiful.He played for the Baltimore Colts (1959–60), Titans of New York (1960), San Diego Chargers (1960–62), and the Denver Broncos (1963–64). In 1965, Barnes signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Canada but fractured his right foot, which ended his professional football career. Soon after, he met New York Jets owner Sonny Werblin, who was impressed by Barnes and his art. In 1966, Barnes had a debut solo exhibition in New York City, sponsored by Werblin at the Grand Central Art Galleries; all the paintings were sold. Barnes became so well known as an artist that one of his paintings was featured in the opening credits of the TV show Good Times, and he was commissioned to create official posters for the Los Angeles 1984 Summer Olympics.From award-winning author and illustrator Don Tate, Pigskins to Paintbrushes is the inspiring story of Ernie Barnes, who defined himself on his own terms and pushed the boundaries of “possible,” from the field to the canvas.The back matter includes Barnes's photograph and his official Topps trading card. Also included are an author's note, endnotes, a bibliography, and a list of websites where Barnes's work can be seen. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/support

Dane Jensen just opened his own art advisory firm in Los Angeles. He has worked in the art and auction industry as a curator, auction house specialist and art advisor. He became much more visible after engaging in an epic bidding war over Ernie Barnes's The Sugar Shack II that sold to energy trader Bill Perkins for more than $15 million at Christie's in May of 2022. In this podcast, Jensen talks about the role of an art advisor as well as what makes Los Angeles distinctive in terms of its collectors, their goals and what they value. We also talk about Ernie Barnes, how his market has rapidly globalized and, of course, what it was like to bid in that wild auction for The Sugar Shack.
Chuck chats with hedge fund manager, commodities trader, high-stakes poker player, film producer, and author, Bill Perkins. Chuck and Bill discuss how a commodity hedge fund can generate outsized returns in natural gas - a space where billions of dollars trade daily. Bill tells about buying Ernie Barnes' iconic painting "The Sugar Shack" for $15 million at an auction. Chuck said afterward "I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I knew he bought it!" Bill also shares his philosophy for a fulfilling life, "maximize enjoyment rather than wealth" - from his recent book Die With Zero.
LiveArt's George O'Dell and Arina Novak discuss the Independent and Armory Show art fairs in New York; strong auction performances for Lynne Mapp Drexler, Ernie Barnes at Bonhams and David Hockney at Phillips; openings for Mario Ayala at Deitch and Lucy Bull at David Kordansky; plus a conversation about Brussels as a gallery destination.

This is LiveArt's Hot List for the second quarter of 2022. Using our comprehensive data, we looked at the sales in April, May and June in London, New York and Hong Kong. We tried to identify the artists with high hammer ratios across multiple sales. Hammer ratio is the hammer price over low estimate. We narrowed that list to a few dozen artists, excluding, for example, the names from the Winter Hot List. Then we boiled it down further to 16 artists whose markets we think are worth paying some attention to right now. To give all 16 artists the time they deserve, along with some related observations from the marketplace by George O'Dell, we split the podcast into two parts. In this episode, George discusses the markets for Ernie Barnes, Anna Weyant, Robert Motherwell, Scott Kahn, Lynda Benglis, Donald Baechler, Francesco Clemente, Roby Dwi Antono, and Katherine Bernhardt. If you want to follow along as we discuss the sales, go to analytics.liveart.io. Type the artist's name in the nav-bar search window in the upper right hand corner. Once you're on the artist's page, scroll down to the search results. In the right-hand corner you can sort by date sold, newest to oldest. Or use the Auction Sales tab to select only the sales for 2022.
In 1964, Life Magazine ran with Lichtenstein on the cover and the text read “Is He the Worst Artist in the U.S.?” Lichtenstein responded to criticism of his work saying “I think my paintings are critically transformed, but it would be difficult to prove it by any rational line of argument." Seems like kind of a weak defense. Basically, ‘I think my work is good, but there's really no rational argument in favor of it.' I mean its a bold move. I'll give him that. He painted Look Mickey after his son taunted him saying he couldn't paint something that good. There is something I really love about the idea that basically his entire career was the ultimate “so there” to a child. I mean doing your work out of spite is one thing, but doing it to spite your child, that's some next level pettiness. My guest this week was The Real Michael Lee, a musician, graphic designer and comic artist based out of Iowa.

The May week of sales began with Andy Warhol's $195 million Shot Sage Blue Marilyn. That was the work everybody expected to be the most talked about lot of the week. But on the third night of sales, something extraordinary and authentic happened. A work by former professional football player and artist Ernie Barnes was offered for sale. Positioned at the auction house in a highly trafficked place, it had begun to stir interest. When the bidding began, that interest erupted into a war between an art advisor sitting in the audience bidding for a client and Houston trader Bill Perkins. In the end, Perkins paid $15 million for the lot originally estimated around $100,000. That was a lot more than he had originally intended to pay but much less than was he was determined to spend to get his prize. Bill Perkins joins us to talk about the experience.

Artist Bisa Butler at the Art Institute of Chicago. phot: John J. Kim. Bisa Butler was born in Orange, NJ, the daughter of a college president and a French teacher. She was raised in South Orange and the youngest of four siblings. Butler's artistic talent was first recognized at the age of four, when she won a blue ribbon in an art competition. Formally trained , Butler graduated Cum Laude from Howard University with a Bachelor's in Fine Art degree. It was during her education at Howard that Butler was able to refine her natural talents under the tutelage of lecturers such as Lois Mailou Jones, Elizabeth Catlett, Jeff Donaldson and Ernie Barnes. She began to experiment with fabric as a medium and became interested in collage techniques. Butler then went on to earn a Masters in Art from Montclair State University in 2005. While in the process of obtaining her Masters degree Butler took a Fiber Arts class where she had an artistic epiphany and she finally realized how to express her art. "As a child, I was always watching my mother and grandmother sew, and they taught me. After that class, I made a portrait quilt for my grandmother on her deathbed, and I have been making art quilts ever since." Bisa Butler was a high school art teacher for 10 years in the Newark Public Schools and 3 years at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey. In February 2021 Bisa was awarded a United States Artist fellowship.Butler's work is currently the focus of a solo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, the second stop of a traveling exhibit which began at the Katonah Museum of Art. She is represented by the Claire Oliver Gallery of New York. Butlers work has been acquired by many private and public collections including The Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture,The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The Nelson-Adkins Museum , 21cMuseum Hotels, The Kemper Museum of Art, The Orlando Museum of Art, The Newark Museum, The Toledo Museum of Art and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. *Don't Tread On Me , God Damn, Let's Go! ; The Harlem Hellfighters, 2021 Cotton, silk, wool and velvet * a work in progress, Photo by Bisa Butler I Go To Prepare A Place For You, Harriet Tubman's last words ,2021 Cotton, silk ,wool and velvet 120” x 120” Quilted and appliquéd Photo by John Butler

Not a lot of great painters were also professional football players. Ernie Barnes was an American artist who grew up in the South during the Jim Crowe era. Despite the numerous challenges, he worked hard, her persisted and he succeeded. As a teenager, a coach mentored Barnes helping him to become captain of the football team and a state champion at shot put. He attended a historically black university on an athletic scholarship but he majored in art. After college, Barnes went on to play pro football, but the owner of the New York Jets saw that Ernie Barnes was more valuable applying his talents to the canvas rather than the field. In the 1960s, Barnes quickly started gaining critical acclaim. His first show in New York sold out. His paintings not only hung in galleries, but also in pop culture on album covers and perhaps most famously on the television series Good Times.For this episode, my good friend and fellow elementary art teacher, Chuck Hoff discussed the history, and the incredible artistry of Ernie Barnes. We referenced a few pieces, but primarily focused our analysis on his painting The American Dream. As always you can find the work being discussed and other resources on the website www.WhoArtEdPodcast.com
Welcome to the show is one of my dear friend Mr. Joseph Grant.. A native of Trinidad, Artist Joseph C. Grant, Jr., grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, New York and is the youngest of 11 children. Creative and talented at a young age, he attended New York’s High School of Art & Design where he studied Art, Photography, and Media Production. After attending New York Technical College, for Marketing he would eventually return to his love of Fine Art. As a young man, Joseph was deeply influenced by the works of Ernie Barnes and Norman Rockwell. Today, his hallmark is fanciful, elongated figures with exaggerated hands and feet. His unique approach to the human form embodies sports figures, Jazz themes, dancers and images reminiscent, of his childhood in Brooklyn. Although skilled in various mediums, it is Joseph’s use of acrylics and oils, mixed with his vivid imagination that makes this body of work an insightful and colorful depiction of life through the eyes of a young man from the in the inner city. Numerous Art Collectors, including comedian Bill Cosby, “Like It Is” founder and TV host, the late Gil Nobel and NBA, Detroit Piston’s All Star, Isiah Thomas have all acquired paintings from this enchanting body of work. In addition to being an accomplished artist, Joseph is also a respected author and filmmaker, a magazine publisher, and a youth mentor. In 2007 Joseph founded the Arts To Literacy Initiative.

Directing Duo Clarence "Coodie" Simmons & Chike Ozah, better known as Coodie & Chike, have so much infectiously positive energy and perspective from all their years in the business. We're thrilled to have them on this week's episode of Overshare. Coodie & Chike started collaborating in the early 2000s and got their big break directing Kanye West’s music video “Through the Wire,” followed by music videos for “Two Words” and “Jesus Walks." They had less than two days to put "Jesus Walks" together from scratch, making it nothing short of a creative miracle, not to mention a classic. Their recounting of that experience with host Justin Gignac is a celebration in the art of scrappiness.Coodie & Chike went on to work with big acts like Pitbull, Erykah Badu, Lupe Fiasco, and Mos Def. In 2007, they founded their own production company, Creative Control. They’ve since directed ESPN "30 for 30" documentary Benji, BET documentary Muhammed Ali: The People’s Champ, and just released A Kid from Coney Island about Stephon Marbury.In this episode, you will learn that not having the time or money or resources to make great work are just excuses. You’ll also learn that wherever your happiness is coming from right now, that’s what really matters. This conversation is packed with insights and endless positivity.

We discuss how she came to admire the paintings of Jackson Pollock, a painting ‘Sugar Shack’ by Ernie Barnes that her family had a print of in their household as she was growing up, we learn about her father's adoption by a white family in London and why London’s least favourite art form is photography. We discuss the art of comedy, Richard Pryor, Whoopi Goldberg, her friendship with Lenny Henry and discover many comedians also make art including Harry Hill & Noel Fielding and she introduces us to the work of pop sculptor Fred Allard and how she tried (and failed) to buy one of his sculptures. London explains why her favourite museum is the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice and her admiration for Peggy’s support of then-unknown artists!!

Riskie Forever is a contemporary artist from Compton, CA. Not limiting himself to airbrushing and album covers, Riskie is versed in painting everything from canvas pictures to murals, customizing articles of clothing, shoes, skatedecks, and the list could go on forever. His dedication even caught the attention of Death Row CEO and rap mogul, Suge Knight, who introduced him to Tupac Shakur. Riskie’s first project for Death Row was the insert for the Tupac’s All Eyez On Me album. Based on the quality of his first assignment, Riskie was commissioned again to complete the album cover for one of the most illest and influential albums in hip-hop; Tupac’s Makaveli: The 7 Day Theory. Tupac informed Riskie of his vision for the album cover. Once Riskie had the idea sealed in his mind, he set out to create one of the most talked about album covers in the history of hip-hop. Though Tupac never received the opportunity to see the outcome of the new album due to his untimely death, he was able to witness Riskie’s finished product for the album cover. Needless to say, he loved it! Other members of Death Row began to embrace Riskie as well. He did several album covers for the label to include Death Row’s Greatest Hits and Death Row’s Christmas Album, album covers and inserts for Snoop on the Snoop Doggy Dog's Tha Doggfather album, Daz Dillinger’s Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back, and Nate Dogg’s G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 &; 2. Barthelomew (Bart) Cooper is a Los Angeles based multidimensional contemporary artist born and raised in West Africa, Liberia. Inspired by his country’s vibrant colors and breathtaking scenery, a three-year-old Bart began to visually record the world around him. Fleeing Liberia at the start of the civil war, Bart moved to the United States where he studied fine art, sculpture and graphic design. Greatly influenced by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, American illustrator Norman Rockwell and American artist Ernie Barnes, he began his pursuit to push the boundaries on the evolution of art and creativity. A reflection of growing up with customary African values in a westernized American culture, Bart’s work merges the traditional with the technological. His signature mixed medium, acrylic style is quickly emerging in the contemporary scene and has already gained him several celebrity clients and private collectors both nationally and internationally.
