Of the eight collectible works of art by Aberjhani published exclusively in the 2022 anniversary edition of the Flannery O’Connor Review, two have been made available for purchase in different print formats on the artist’s Fine Art America.com profile and his Pixels.com website. The available prints include: the cover image fine art digital painting titled Sermon in the Valley of Broken Angels, and the fine art digital photo-painting called: View of the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist from the 15th Floor of DeSoto Hotel in Savannah, GA, June 18, 2021. “I went with these particular prints,” said Aberjhani, “because of responses to them from people who have the 2022 Flannery O’Connor Review. I don’t oppose auctioning off limited numbers of original prints, but in this case I wanted to make a couple of popular images accessible to as many people as possible at affordable prices and in different gift formats.” List of ArtworksThe 2022 FLOC Review (published by Georgia College in Milledgeville, Ga. USA) contains a full 8-page section which includes a profile of the artist, poetry by him, and the previously noted artwork. Most of the artwork is in the Silk-Featherbrush Artstyle created by the artist-author. In addition to the images already named, others are as follows:
“Some of the titles are direct references to books or stories by O’Connor,” said Aberjhani. “The collection of art published in the review as a whole is meant to serve as part of my multi-media commentaries on the author’s life and writings. The visual part of those commentaries began with the Flannery O’Connor and Converging Grace collection.” What is not included in the collection or the review is the artwork used for the cover of his book, Greeting Flannery O’Connor at the Back Door of My Mind, as well as several images reserved for possible exhibits. However, in addition to his artwork, the special edition includes a corresponding poem by the artist titled “History and Prophets’ Prerogatives,” which until now has only been available as part of a limited set of fine art poster prints.

(International) --Tackling head-on the sensitive issue of children's lives lost to extreme violence, international artist Aberjhani kicked off the 2019 art season with the launch of the provocative new series, "Kaleidoscope Moons for Children Gone Too Soon." The series successfully combines themes of social and environmental justice with aesthetics of highly-appealing formats and styles to confront one of the most disturbing concerns of modern times. It kicked off with 3 canvases and a special series gallery posted on Fine Art America/Pixels. The gallery can be found on this page: Kaleidoscope Moons. The posted canvases are numbered but each also has an individual title. Number 1 is "Ascension," number 2 ", and number 3 "Intensified." Product pages each carry a description of the specific artwork but also contain the following description by the artist of the new series: |
| |
“Specifically: The news out of Houston, Texas (USA) was particularly gruesome upon learning that 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes had been shot and killed while in a car with her family the morning before New Year's Eve. Her mother, LaPorsha Washington, was also shot but survived along with 3 other daughters. In my hometown of Savannah, Georgia, an up-and-coming 17-year-old rapper named Tyrese Carter and a 20-year-old named Jamar Davis Jr. were shot dead within 24 hours after the New Year got underway.
“The family of one gun violence victim, former university student Rebecca Foley killed 6 years ago in Savannah, announced plans to fight back. They are suing, to the tune of $35 million, the owners of the apartment complex where Ms. Foley was killed for the "inadequate security" they feel contributed to her death.
“Obviously art cannot bring back any of our loved ones lost to senseless violence. But for those who did not get their chance to establish mega-stardom and document their passage on this journey we call life, the Kaleidoscope Moons Series can testify on their behalf. It can proclaim they were here and their lives were as deserving of celebration and remembrance as anyone's."

That news is notable because the catalog initially was intended to provide validation of the artist's work as a writer, confirming his authorship of popular quotations by featuring them as the text for his Postered Chromatic Poetics products. However, responses to popular original photography, digital paintings, collages, and mixed media have inspired the creation of themed collections and individual prints. Among the most recent are “Suzannanian Algorithm Finger-Painted on an Abstract Wall” posters number 1 and 2, and “Harlem Renaissance Deja Vu Number 1.” These three items are also presented as commemorations of the Harlem Renaissance Centennial.
Lovers of art and purchase agents for various businesses interested in keeping up with posts of new images by the artist can do so by subscribing to his Art-Notes Blog. Below are brief snippets from and links to works currently available:
