About the Item
"He [Cobble] has come to accept the fact that low production can lead to under appreciation in the short run, but he also knows that his gifts of perception and discrimination are rare, and that they can only be manifested through disciplined work. This knowledge is enough to bring him into his studio at 7 o’clock each morning for a ten to twelve hour workday. We are the beneficiaries of his faith, his patience, his insistence and persistence. In a clamoring market-driven art world, Brian Cobble’s contribution is, indeed, blessed assurance to each of us that delicacy of drawing and subtlety of sight still exist." Roger Winter, 2010
Brian Cobble, one of the most technically proficient artists working in pastel today, composes luminous urban, rural, and natural landscapes that embody the beauty of the everyday. Cobble was awarded the Pastel Society of America Founders Award in 2012, the PSA National Arts Club Award in 2007, and the Gold Medal Award in 2003. The December 2003 issue of The Artist’s Magazine profiled Cobble’s technique of meticulously layering pastel; a technique that gives his work a unique richness and complexity. Cobble’s work is in the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, the Tyler Museum of Art, the El Paso Museum of Art, the Columbus Museum in Georgia, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe. His work has been exhibited at The McKinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.
About his 2015 solo exhibition at Valley House Gallery, “Brian Cobble: Scratching the Surface,” the artist states:
“In a broad sense, ‘Scratching the Surface’ is what I do. With an approach that requires applying stroke after stroke and layer upon layer of sharpened pastels, making art is monumentally slow and indirect, (and occasionally zen-like). And somehow, somewhere along the way, if one is persistent, and lucky, and the subconscious kicks in properly, a little magic or mystery or atmosphere sneaks into the painting, and just maybe you scratch the surface of something deeper.”

- Scene Fourteen: Kitchen, bright colors, domestic, Latin objectsBy Barbara RachkoLocated in Brooklyn, NYPrice and size includes frames (maple wood with white mats). Artwork 58" x 38" Her pastel-on-sandpaper series, "Domestic Threats" and "Black Paintings", both use cultural objects as surrogates for human beings acting in mysterious, highly charged narratives.[9][10] Rachko also has created a series of photographs entitled "Gods and Monsters".[11] In these chromogenic prints, she is "painting with a camera," creating variations that free the camera from being a mechanical recording device of what lies before it. She prints all of these images by hand. The earlier "Domestic Threats" pastel-on-sandpaper paintings used her West Village apartment or her 1932 Sears house in Virginia as a backdrop. The "Black Paintings" series grew directly from "Domestic Threats". In the "Black Paintings," the figures (actors) take center stage. All background details, furniture, rugs, etc. have been eliminated and replaced by intense dark black pastel. Each painting takes months to complete as she slowly builds up as many as 30 layers of soft pastel. Her long-standing fascination with traditional masks progressed in the spring of 2017 when she visited the National Museum of Ethnography and Folklore in La Paz, Bolivia where one exhibition included more than fifty festival masks. The resulting series is entitled “Bolivianos”.[12] She has also written an e-book, From Pilot to Painter[13] and writes a regular blog, Barbara Rachko...Category
