As we continue to celebrate the artists and the prize winners of BRICK BY BRICK 2, we bring to the fore the latest sale from the show — only last night — which our jury called out with an award for BEST KISS. AUSTIN DIMARE, who first showed with us in the 2022 edition of UNDER $100, has a special flair for intimate portraiture, and he speaks to this penchant in describing his painting’s ephemeral, yet lingering quality: “A passing moment of intimacy, where both individuals do not know where this could lead, and for how long. Remembering that soft feeling even if for a moment in time.”
