About the Item

Guo Wei, Ami No. 4 Tireur de Pistolet No. 4, 2009 Silkscreen Edition of 200 35 x 40.5 in. (88.9 x 102.9 cm.) Guo Wei (Chinese, b.1960) was born in Chengdu, China, where he currently lives and works. He graduated from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 1989, and has been exhibited internationally since 1988. Guo’s work focuses on the individual and the development of self in China. The isolation of the individual due to the Communist system is an important theme for the artist. He addresses feelings of emptiness and desolation, which new generations of Chinese youth experience in cities. Guo’s subjects are often children and adolescents set in realistic compositions. He seeks to express private emotion, though his subjects often appear emotionally distanct. The viewer is often left shocked by the use of indistinct facial expressions and disturbing distortions on his teenage subjects. His portraits of Chinese youth capture the awkwardness of adolescence, and his depictions of the disaffected have a universal quality to them. Guo’s paintings are provocative and original, touching upon the experience of alienation in society, as well as feelings of alienation from within. Set of three available

  • Eric Fischl, , Two Girls Dancing
    By Eric Fischl
    Located in New York, NY
    TWO GIRLS DANCING Year: 2011 Medium: 2-color lithograph Size: 27 x 30 inches (69 x 76 cm) Edition: 100 Price: $1,900 Born in New York City in 1948, Eric Fischl grew up in the suburbs of Long Island , his parents having moved there shortly before his second year.”Safer place to raise a family”, they used to say. Against a backdrop of alcoholism and a country club culture obsessed with image over content, Fischl became focused on the rift between what was experienced and what could not be said. Until the late 70’s, suburbia was not considered a legitimate genre for art. With his first New York show at the Edward Thorp Gallery, epithets like “psycho-sexual suburban dramas” became velcroed to his disturbing images of dyfunctional family life. Fischl began his art education in Phoenix, Arizona where his parents had moved in 1967. First at Phoenix Junior College, then a year at Arizona State University, and finally getting his BFA in 1972 at the recently opened California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California. After graduation he moved to Chicago where he worked as a guard at the Museum of Contemporary Art. It was in Chicago that Fischl was exposed to the non-mainstream art of the Hairy Who. “The underbelly, carnie world of Ed Paschke and the hilarious sexual vulgarity of Jim Nutt...
