About the Artists

Stephen Hannock is an American Luminist painter known for his atmospheric nocturnes, which often incorporate text inscriptions that relate to family, friends or events of daily life. He has demonstrated a unique appreciation for contemporary storytelling within the painting medium. His inventive machine polishing of the surfaces of his paintings gives a characteristic luminous quality to his work. His design of visual effects for the 1998 film What Dreams May Come garnered him an Academy Award . His works appear in collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Hannock recently received an honorary doctorate in fine arts from Bowdoin College and is represented by the Marlborough Gallery.

David Kratz is a painter who lives and works in New York City. He works primarily in oils and focuses on figurative art, seeking to capture the immediacy of small moments in life through gestural brushwork and an evocative use of light. Kratz is a graduate of the New York Academy of Art and has served as the school's president since 2009. As a member of the school's critique panel, Kratz has curated multiple exhibitions including Take Home a Nude at Sotheby's New York, Water / Bodies and Uncovered at the Eden Rock Gallery in St. Barth's and Ive Got a Secret at the Forbes Gallery in New York. Prior to the current role at the Academy, Kratz headed Magnet Communications, a public relations firm that he founded in 1984 and developed into one of the nation's leading lifestyle public relations and marketing agencies.

Curtis Kulig was born in North Dakota in 1981. At age 12, he began screenprinting in his fathers shop, laying the foundation for his work as an artist. Today he lives and works in New York City where his signature work Love Me is fast becoming an icon. Kuligs two-word statement can be seen on canvases, sculptures, rooftops, billboards and products in cities throughout the world. His ability to blur the line between typography and iconography has made him a fast-rising star in both art circles and the commercial sphere, allowing him to shift contexts while maintaining his simple message.

Gillian Laub was born in 1975 in Chappaqua, New York, and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she earned a degree in comparative literature. She studied photography at the International Center of Photography in New York where her love of storytelling and family narratives originated. She was selected for the World Press Photo's Joop Swart Masterclass in 2003 and was the winner of Nikon's Storyteller Award for her photographs of the Middle East. With the support of the Jerome Foundation, Testimony, her first monograph, was published by Aperture in 20
