To mark the publication of Rainbow Dreams: Color and Light in Contemporary Art, we are proud to present a collection of three limited-edition prints from leading contemporary artists: Matthew Stone, Sho Shibuya, and Judy Chicago.

Each work reflects the same sense of wonder and visual delight that defines the book – a celebration of color in its most expressive forms.

Proceeds from the sale of the Rainbow Dreams limited-edition print series will benefit the Ali Forney Center.

Rainbow Dreams is the ultimate visual treat: a glorious celebration of color and light, showcasing more than 200 exuberant contemporary artworks by the world’s best-known contemporary artists.

From Takashi Murakami’s multicolored floral motifs and Yayoi Kusama’s vibrant polka dots to Ugo Rondinone’s neon sculptures and Paola Pivi’s playful feathered bear sculptures, the featured works offer a dizzying tour of the color spectrum.

Readers will discover art across a variety of mediums – paintings on canvas, monumental sculptures, LED light installations, immersive spaces, and more. Together, they reveal how famed artists and creators perceive and experiment with color.

Featuring an exterior printed with a seamless rainbow gradient, Rainbow Dreams will bring joy, beauty, and wonder to anyone with an interest of art – and a burst of color to brighten any bookshelf.

Proceeds from the sale of the Rainbow Dreams limited-edition print series will benefit the Ali Forney Center.

The Ali Forney Center was founded in 2002 in memory of Ali Forney, a homeless gender-nonconforming youth who was  forced to live on the streets, where they were tragically murdered. Committed to saving the lives of LGBTQ+ and at-risk young people, our mission is to protect them from the harms of homelessness and empower them with the tools needed to live independently.

Meet the Artist:

Matthew Stone

While for many the last few years have been ones of increasing anxiety around the role of AI in our lives and labors, the artist Matthew Stone has been embracing technology in contemporary painting, viewing it as a field of creative expansion rather than existential threat.

In conversation, Stone is provocative, intellectually adroit. On canvas his work feels similarly, simultaneously Baroque but futuristic.

And yet, for all the technological complexity, what perhaps hits hardest in his work is his approach to color: layer upon layer of it, overwhelming the senses – atmospheric, emotional, choreographed, pulsing with saturated violets, citrus oranges, aqueous blues and sensuous pinks. Stone somehow manages to make digital space feel like nature.

'A lot of what I do is not dictated by anybody else, so I have that freedom...I can do a book, where I'm writing, and I'm doing an oil painting of an amazing moment I saw, but then I can also do fashion illustration. It never turns off, really.'

Meet the Artist:

Judy Chicago

Judy Chicago is a pioneer of feminist art, renowned for her groundbreaking work exploring gender, identity, and social history. Her practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, and education.

Chicago's work challenges traditional art hierarchies and amplifies marginalized voices, combining rigorous research with bold, symbolic imagery. Beyond her artistic output, Chicago has been a transformative teacher and author, shaping generations of artists and advancing the discourse on feminism and the arts.

'In terms of my Atmospheres and Smoke Sculptures...my original intention was to soften or 'feminize' the man-made environment. More recently, I've viewed them as “painting the sky,” but in all of them, the colored plumes rise into the air and fuse with the light to create colors that can't be achieved any other way.'
