Our mission is to be a leader in the presentation and promotion of artwork that utilizies or references commercial processes and themes. In doing so, 2 Rules Fine Art seeks to bridge the gap between what is considered fine art and what is considered great design.
As we advance technologically, our methods for creating objects and printed works is becoming more and more digitized and commoditized; as a result, many traditionally commercial skills are becoming more and more scarce. Those individuals that still create using these forgotten media are doing so not for mass production, but to produce limited or original works that have become, by their very rarity, works of art.
In addition to works that use these commercial processes, we are also displaying paintings and other traditional media that reference designed or commercial items, an increasingly popular notion given our society's bombardment by advertising. These works use typography, stencils, imagery reminiscent of printed books or flyers, and repeating patterns.
