About the Item
"The Unknown," (2022) by wildlife artist Alexis Kandra is an oil painting gilded with metal foil on wood panel, measuring 36" X 36". Her newest piece, the painting features an earthy landscape appointed with beautiful wildlife -- a rooster, a bull frog, a pidgeon / dove, white horses, red robin birds, bumble bees and the central animal is a black unicorn. In the skyscape in the background is a rainbow and a bolt of lightning. The landscape features a rocky foreground with a shallow collection of water, where the unicorn stands and the birds splash. The golden rolling hills appear in the background of the landscape.
The flora and fauna and the landscape itself are all beautifully rendered and fit under the rubric of contemporary realism, save the mythical unicorn. Alexis loves to work with intersecting grids and planes, in which the sentient beings and natural elements pull on the fabric of space and time as demonstrated by the waveforms in the grid work that surrounds them. The juxtaposition and layering of scenes, the saturated color palettes, the computer graphic style grid systems and the metallic foils give her work a surrealistic quality. There is a glowing prismatic orb that surrounds the creatures and the landscape in which they live. The scene feels peaceful, evoking a reverence and honoring of the sacred quality of nature.
The palette herein is saturated and rich with vivid warm sunset colors. Included are multiple shades of blue and purple -- periwinkle, aqua, navy, sky blue, black, pale blue, lavender. Earthy tones include gold, yellow, ochre, terracotta, red clay.

- FarewellBy Thomas SwanstonLocated in Atlanta, GAThis painting is in excellent condition and has only been shown in a gallery setting. Please note that given the characteristics of the silver and gold leafing the works will photograph and look different under various types of light. Using gilded shapes intertwined with abstract washes of color and light, Swanston creates paintings that visually evolve and transform in conjunction with the natural light of a passing day. He brings the beauty of nature into the home and captures the idea that art originates not only through personal introspection, but through the contemplation of nature and place. The environment plays a key role in the construction of Swanston’s paintings and guides the context of each work. Underneath the gold leaf and acrylic paint lies a deeper conversation about species preservation and habitat loss, both conservation efforts important to the artist. Swanston utilizes beauty as the vehicle by which he entices the viewer and provides the bridge for a critical discussion about environmental protection. Thomas Swanston was born 1956 in Annapolis Md...Category
