Other Voices: New York City Artists Portraits Article by Nicolette Ramirez in The New York Art World®.com, 9/04 “. . . Directly on West Broadway, street artists of considerable promise sell their artwork far below what they would fetch in a gallery. There is, of course, a difference between sellers of street trinkets and artwork. For those with a discerning eye, however, there are in deed genuine artworks to be found on the streets of New York. Sharon Pell is the creator of “S*Pellbinders” and“Shenanicats”, a trademarked series of paintings of feline femmes and cute cats. Some of her paintings of women are actual portraits, while others are drawn from imagination, or from female superheroes such as Wonder Woman. While the women are sexy, seductive and strong, the cats are charismatic and cute. All of the works are colorful and happy, painted in bright acrylics (pinks, blues, greens) with an outline of grease pencil. Often the backdrop to these adorable women and cats are newspapers on which Sharon creates a collage effect with stamps. Sharon was recently commissioned to create large paintings for Tommy Hilfiger’s showrooms in New York City, as well as for Hilfiger’s denim stores in abroad. Moreover, she has her works in an upcoming film Alfie, starring the actor Jude Law. She may not have a dealer, but it certainly appears that this artist can take care of herself.
