Claudio Bravo Camus
Chiquito Futbolista de Tanger 1982

1982

About the Item

Sanguine on paper. Signed and dated in Roman numerals at lower right. In the upper right corner is the title. Claudio Bravo Camus was a Chilean painter best known for compositions (particularly parcels) and hyper-realistic portraits, including those of prominent political figures. Rightly considered one of the greatest masters of hyperrealism, Claudio Bravo has chased photography in painting, but always starting from direct observation of the objects themselves. "The eyes see much more than the camera: half tones, shadows, minute changes in color and light," he said. The portrait presented here, that of a well-known Moroccan soccer player, exudes a meticulous and mimetic realism, particularly in the man's gaze; it was made during the years when the artist lived in Tangier, where he had taken refuge to escape the Franco dictatorship. It is presented in a frame.

  • Stalemate
    By Joseph Broghammer
    Located in Kansas City, MO
    Due to the current situation related to the Novel Coronavirus pandemic, our gallery will donate 10% of our commission from this sale to the Kansas City Artists Coalition, which has been supporting local Kansas City Artists for the past 40 years. The Kansas City Artists Coalition (KCAC), is a non-profit, artist-centered, artist-run alternative space, supporting artists at every level in their career through exhibitions, continuing education and artist studios. Artist: Joseph Broghammer Title: “Stalemate” Materials : Chalk pastel and pencil on Arches Paper Date : 2018 Dimensions : 7 x 11 ft. Omaha based artist Joseph Broghammer is as much of a storyteller as he is an artist. His one-of-a-kind pastel drawings in “Animals” are chronicles of his life. The creatures Broghammer creates are vehicles to uncover the varying characteristics of the artist’s personal identity. Hence, Broghammer’s “Animals” translates as a flowing stream of consciousness. The different birds and livestock staring back at the viewer are ornamented with iconographic symbols – small surprises along the way. These trinkets are keys to understanding the stories Broghammer is sharing. Broghammer began mastering his “dry painting” technique during his B.F.A. in Visual Art at the University of South Dakota. He graduated in 1986 and a year later went on to study his M.F.A. at the University of Wisconsin. In 2009, he studied at Creative Capital in Omaha, Nebraska. As storytellers often do, Broghammer later went on to become an educator himself, teaching at WhyArts? and becoming an Artist Assistant at Vera Mercer in Omaha – both of which he still practices at today. It’s apparent that Broghammer’s work has resonated with so many people around the world. Only a few years after his formal education, he began exhibiting his work through various International group shows in Italy, Germany, Holland, Mexico, and even Kansas City. Although Broghammer’s portraits depict downy creatures, his work is very much about the human experience. They are honest and full of life, evoking a sincere exchange between artist and viewer. “Animals” is for the animal lovers, students, teachers, collectors, writers, the young or old, and art historians alike.
