2024

About the Item

"Dare A Peek" is an original oil on wood panel artwork by Shaina Craft, fashioned in the year 2024. This piece is a testament to Craft's mastery of oil painting, with dimensions of 4 x 4 x 0.75 inches, providing a concentrated yet potent visual experience. The artwork reveals an eye that seems to emerge from shadows, gazing outward with a mixture of boldness and mystery. Craft's use of color is striking, with the deep indigo of the hair framing the eye, creating a stark contrast with the soft flesh tones of the skin. The texture of the wood panel adds an organic quality to the piece, enhancing the tactile sensation one might feel upon encountering the work. Unframed and ready to hang, this work invites the observer to look closer, to engage with the depth of the subject's gaze. The intimate scale of the painting encourages a personal connection, while the detailed execution of the iris and the skin around it speaks to the artist's interest in the intricacies of the human condition. Shaina Craft is known for her ability to capture the essence of her subjects with a profound sense of intimacy and immediacy. "Dare A Peek" is an invitation to the viewer to engage in a silent dialogue with the subject, a dialogue full of intensity and introspection. This artwork is an exceptional choice for collectors who appreciate the subtleties of contemporary portraiture and the emotional resonance that can be conveyed through the focus on a single, captivating feature.

    Urbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. An artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art Gallery in Milan, while maintaining connections with important galleries, such as Marlborough Fine Art in London and Galerie Koch in Hanover.

  • A Young Girl Reading a Book, Pointillist Artist
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    "A Young Girl Reading a Book" is a captivating portrait by Swedish artist Gustaf Arnolds. Arnolds was a prolific painter whose roots began in Vingåker and later in Ronneby from his teenage years. His educational journey in art took him through prestigious institutions such as Althins målarskola and the Tallbergska grafikskolan in Stockholm, followed by a significant period at the Konstakademien, Stockholm, between 1904 and 1909. His talent and dedication were recognized early on, earning him a scholarship to Paris, a city that would deeply influence his artistic direction. This particular work, likely painted shortly after his return to Sweden, reveals a profound influence from his time in Paris. It portrays a young girl absorbed in reading a book, a simple yet profound subject that Arnolds imbues with a sense of tranquility and introspection. The background hints at a serene landscape, dotted with quaint houses, a nod to the everyday beauty surrounding us. What sets this piece apart is Arnolds’ technique, reminiscent of pointillism but distinguished by longer, more expressive brush strokes that add a vibrant texture and depth to the canvas. This method showcases Arnolds' unique adaptation of the techniques he encountered during his Parisian studies, particularly during his interactions with Nils Dardel...
