This September we’re back with Affordable Art Fair NYC Fall<\/a> for another art-packed edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 85 galleries, the fair will be filled with so many artworks you might need help figuring out where to start. Here are some of my top picks from the artworks on sale at the fair, imagined in interior spaces with a little help from ArtPlacer<\/a>, to give you a little taste of what’s to come. Enjoy and we’ll see you soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrique Gonzalez<\/strong> | Biombo Dama De Blanco<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Seeing the work of Enrique Gonzalez is taking a dive into art history. He beautifully renders classical portraits with gold leaf, returning shine to images of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrique Gonzalez, ‘Biombo Dama De Blanco’, 2025, oil and gold leaf on board, 70″ x 47i”, $8,000, Al Contra Del Arte<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nathaniel Williams<\/strong> | After the Rain<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Nathaniel Williams is an American landscape painter, and his night scenes of deserted highways are eerily beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Denise Liebermann<\/strong> | Molten  – Dusk<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cotswolds-based artist Denise Libermann features a lot of dogs in her work. I love the close frame in this work where we can really focus on a walk from the pup\u2019s perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pink Milk Drink<\/strong> | The Elephant in the Room<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pink Milk Drink splits time between Toronto and a remote community near the Arctic Circle. Her paintings examine the way animals appear in the mythology, slang, and lexicons of humans. I love this cartoonish world that feels outrageous yet enticing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pink Milk Drink, ‘The Elephant in the Room’, 2025, acrylic on panel, 36″ x 36″, $2,800, Lustre Contemporary<\/a>. Room Mock-up courtesy of ArtPlacer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mah Chen | Theory<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Mah Chen\u2019s work explores lyrical abstraction, exploring the intricate relationship between complexity and calmness. Each piece is a dynamic mix of colors and shapes, where meaningless doodles create rich, contemplative dialogues with the viewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mah Chen, ‘Theory’, mixed media, 117cm x 80cm, $4,000, Mookji<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Ron Lawson | Blackhouse<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ron Lawson takes his inspiration from his isolated landscapes from his Scottish Highlands home. The stark palette and flattened perspective make this cottage feel small in a big world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Ron Lawson, ‘Blackhouse’, 2025, watercolor and gouache on paper, 23″ x 23″, $3,600, Quantum Contemporary Art<\/a>, Room Mock-Up courtesy or ArtPlacer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coopere Ford | A Tribe Called Stress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being a collage artist, Coppere Ford is a record producer based in Richmond, VA. His works seem to be constructed similarly to a song \u2013 a sum of creative parts layered up to present a greater whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coppere Ford, ‘A Tribe Called Stress, 2024, collage on paper, 11″ x 14″, $350, Southside Contemporary Art Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Eben Haines | Millennials Are Killing the Dinner Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is something sad about the drowning dining table and the idea that Millennials are killing the dinner industry, I want to be inside this work by Boston native Eben Haines. It\u2019s mysterious, surreal, and lovely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eben Haines, ‘Millenials Are Killing The Dinner Industry’, 2023, oil-48″ x 48″, $12,000, Blue Triangle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Mikaela Stafford | Energy Never Dies It Just Changes Shape<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Australian artist Mikaela Stafford makes motion picture graphics and 3D digital works, including some for brands such as Nike, and her prints look like they could flow out of the frame at any second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
