Scott Nelson Foster
Entry (Modern Realist Black & White Watercolor Painting of Front Door Building)

2012

About the Item

Black and white watercolor on paper 6 x 4 inches 21 x 17 inches framed brown wood artist made frame, white mat This listing is offered by Carrie Haddad Gallery, based in Hudson, NY. This photo-realist watercolor painting on paper of a front door of a quaint residential building was painted by Scott Nelson Foster in 2012. The contemporary city vignette is completed in exquisite detail with close attention paid to depth and architectural features. A car is parked in front of the residential building and a shadow from a tree falls gracefully on the facade of the building. The small scale, vertical watercolor is framed in a black stained wood frame with a large mat. Realist painter Scott Neslon Foster is best known for his black and white, monochromatic photo realist scenes of neighborhoods in small town America. Perfectly straight lines provide a stunning depth of perception, while calculated detail resemble that of a drawing or photograph. The scene depicted here has remarkable architectural details of brownstones and other historical buildings typically found in the American Northeast, although they also somehow transcend time and place! Absence and loss, not presence, shapes my definition of beauty. An aspect of this conception of beauty is memory, the anticipation of change, and the struggle to fix a moment in the mind. I use the suburban landscape of houses and strip malls as my subject matter. I search for ways to describe the changes of the landscape and the passage of time; to express the long memories tied to the land and sky that surround us. -Scott Nelson Foster, 2013 Artist Statement: My paintings are reflections of changing ideas about the American experience, the American dream, and societal relationships to the land. The suburban landscape is an arena in which many different dramas of the American dream are played out. Houses, subdivisions, and strip-malls evoke shared experiences. This common denominator gives my work a broad resonance that allows even fragmentary visions to evoke complex narratives. My watercolors and oils eschew the particulars—what makes a location unique—and focus on the iconic—what makes disparate subjects universal.

    Located in AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FR
    Watercolour, Acrylic Painting and Charcoal on paper. Work Title : Lagatjar Artist : Fabien Granet (FR) The work is signed and dated on the back of the work. Unique work. Size : H40xW30cm. Not framed. Born in 1970 the artist lives and works in France. The majority of his drawings and paintings are inspired by the wild landscapes of Brittany in France. " The drawing as a gesture allows me to exploit a (re)mise-en-scene as so many possibilities in the making. Through the quality of drawing as a marker of thought, it is not a question of constructing "dream worlds" but rather of setting up a device that would allow for a conscious dialogue of a certain perception of the real." Fabien Granet is pursuing a research on the perception of the landscape, on our ways of trying to represent it, to understand it, to understand its structures. The drawn "landscapes" are thus as many projections of the artist, which convene and reveal his artistic path, the influences of his culture, his utopias, his dystopian fantasies. Another shift where the quasi scientific concern of objective rigor and the mental construction of an construction of an individual course. The drawing appears in this sense as an act as much as a work which The drawing appears in this sense as an act as much as a work which is registered in a research and a quest to pierce the enigma of the real. In his landscapes, Fabien Granet evokes a process of the mind, where shreds and fragments become entangled in a re-arrangement of of reality. Snippets of architecture and geometrical figures draw human and his gaze into it. The landscape is a human creation, but how does human try to perceive it, how does he understand its constructions? what is his mental image of it? Chaos and structure intersect in a paradox of our vision of the world: the artist picks out the sensitive elements in a reflection on the possibilities in the making.
