" Jeph Gurecka, 38 The Peach Eater  (asking price: $7,000) &amp;quot;The Peach Eater is part of a collection that I&amp;#039;ve based on the ten months I lived in the Czech Republic, in which I took around two thousand pictures. This particular portrait is of an old Prague actor named Josef Hruby whom I used to hang out with at his villa in the south of the country. He was this crazy guy, and we drank too much and had big parties. It&amp;#039;s mixed medium, made with all sorts of materials like salt, soil, and ash. I tried to make it feel like an old snapshot.&amp;quot; On Gurecka: Two-button wool jacket ($1,255), cotton sweatshirt ($250), cotton shirt ($395), and wool trousers ($500) by Prada; goatskin shoes ($680) by Herms. Louis Cameron, 32 Mountain Dew, Newport  (asking prices: $6,000 each) &amp;quot;I started by looking at colors that are around me, namely colors from consumer culture. I want to deconstruct those in order to talk about how color is coded within our culture. I approximated the percentage of each color involved in the logo of a product, and then I extracted that and I applied that to the same percentage of puzzle pieces. I don&amp;#039;t know what the color scheme is going to look like. It just randomly occurs.&amp;quot; On Cameron: Two-button cotton jacket ($695), cotton shirt ($280), and leather shoes ($420) by Calvin Klein Collection; cotton vest ($270) by Dries van Noten; cotton trousers ($250) by Diesel. Adam Stennett, 33 Thirteen Fish and Two Mice  (asking price: $20,000) &amp;quot;My studio used to be in Chinatown [New York], which is teeming with rats and mice. So I bought a bunch of fish, and I wanted to set an appetizing, beautiful but creepy sort of deathbed scene. I built a set and then photographed it. So I was working from a photograph to make the painting.  &amp;quot;I was born in Alaska, so people have said to me that they thought it kind of looked like an arctic landscape that these mice are traversing. All of a sudden, they realize that they&amp;#039;re looking at fish whose eyeballs are staring up at them.&amp;quot;  On Stennett: Double-breasted cotton pique jacket ($1,635), cotton shirt ($335), and cotton pocket square ($95) by Yves Saint Laurent; stainless-steel Reverso Grande Automatique watch with leather strap ($7,750) by Jaeger-LeCoultre. Also, a one-button cotton suit ($2,060), silk-and-cashmere sweater ($740), and cotton shirt ($430) by Jil Sander; canvas sneakers ($75) by Vans. Jon Elliott, 31 The Limit of the Globes (asking price: $7,500)  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been doing work lately dealing with the darker side of technology. For this one I used oil, polymer, and electronic de bris like computer scraps. Then I ground up a bunch of stuff and made a texture gel. Some of it&amp;#039;s actually showing. There&amp;#039;s a bunch of litter basically all ground up in a paint medium and applied to the panel in the bottom left corner. I just ground up computer monitors.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m trying to create fantastical landscapes that look out over vast bodies of water, images of the outlands of our society, where anything can happen. Our true nature can be best observed by examining our fantasies about the unknown.&amp;quot;  On Elliott: Two-button cotton jacket ($250), cotton shirt ($68), and cotton trousers ($148) by Banana Republic; cotton vest ($395) by John Varvatos; suede shoes ($530) by Yves Saint Laurent.  Also on Elliott: Three-button cotton corduroy jacket ($148) by J.Crew; linen shirt ($428) by Louis Vuitton; cotton T shirt ($98) by John Varvatos; cotton jeans ($195) by Earnest Sewn; canvas sneakers ($85) by Original Penguin. John Copeland, 29 Untitled (asking price: $12,000) &amp;quot;The piece is gouache, ink, paper, and oil on canvas. I&amp;#039;ve been drawing a lot of water lately--studies of the top of water and the texture of it. Then I started doing drawings of figures underwater, grappling underneath the surface. So that&amp;#039;s where this came from. It&amp;#039;s the first body of work for me that portrays full figures. Previously I had cropped out or fragmented human body parts.&amp;quot; On Copeland: Two-button cotton jacket ($245), cotton shirt ($225), and silk tie ($95), Polo by Ralph Lauren; cotton trousers ($445) by Martin Margiela; suede shoes ($530) by Yves Saint Laurent. Erik Wayne Patterson, 30 Werewolf and Fried Chicken Joint   (asking price: $4,000) &amp;quot;A good friend of mine who I used to collaborate with on comic books sort of jokingly said once that he thought I should do a painting of a werewolf standing in front of a fried-chicken joint. At first I thought it was a stupid idea. Then I sketched it out because I thought it could be kind of funny. The werewolf is this strange character that we&amp;#039;ve made up. Everyone&amp;#039;s familiar with it. But at the same time, it&amp;#039;s really kind of absurd. It&amp;#039;s almost a tragic figure. There&amp;#039;s something sort of sad about a werewolf. A vampire is more flashy, but a werewolf? You almost feel sorry for him.&amp;quot; Om Patterson: Two-button linen jacket (part of suit, $1,650), cotton-voile embroidered shirt ($675), and cotton T-shirt ($185) by Dolce &amp;amp;amp; Gabbana; cotton trousers ($350) by Martin Margiela; gold DeVille Prestige coaxial chronometer with leather strap ($5,900) by Omega.
