Carole Myers
"From the Window, Cuernavaca" Purple & Blue Modern Abstract Still Life Painting

1989

About the Item

Blue and purple modern abstract mixed media painting by Texas artist Carole Myers. The work features expressive strokes of color loosely forming a view from a window in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The piece is signed in the front lower right corner. Currently hung in a silver metal frame. Dimensions Without Frame: H 35.5 in. x W47.38 in. Artist Statement: “My work as a painter has been inspired for many years by the beauty of landscapes. I express both the vast panoramic views and intimate bits of nature with a spiritual response, rather than a literal interpretation. Various symbols are often included to add to the mystery of my paintings that may be inspired by petroglyphs, pictographs or personal calligraphy, leaving the interpretation to the viewers. As an experimental artist working on canvas or paper, I use a variety of water media, (fluid acrylic, Interference acrylics, transparent watercolors, watercolor crayons, etc.) along with collage and found objects. Painting in response to the sounds of nature or music (Native American flute, classical guitar, jazz or flamenco) enhances the creative process.” Artist Biography: Carole began her journey as an artist in Oklahoma over 70 years ago. She became known for her unique style and experimental watercolor techniques. Her style is abstract, using watercolor, mixed-media collage and acrylic on paper as well as acrylic and collage on canvas. Through her life she lived in El Paso, St. Louis and finally, San Antonio. Southwestern landscapes and Mexico were major sources of inspiration for her work and she travelled extensively, sketchbook or camera always close at hand. Carole Myers, a signature member of the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society was also active in the San Antonio Watercolor Group and Texas Watercolor Society (Purple Sage Brush Member). She has won more than 300 awards including the High Winds Medal Award in the 122nd Annual Exhibition of AWS. Her work is included in The Best of Watercolor, Creative Watercolor, Step by Step, The Creative Artist, Abstracts in Watercolor, Texas Watercolor Society: Fifty Years of Excellence, Watercolor Magic, and several others. She served a juror and critic for exhibitions and taught numerous art workshops in Rockport, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Kerrville and throughout the U.S. as well as in Mexico and France. “I express both the vast panoramic views and intimate bits of nature with a spiritual response, rather than a literal interpretation.”

  • Round Deep Purple, Blue, and Gold Three Dimensional Mixed Media Painting
    Located in Houston, TX
    Deep purple and gold abstract mixed-media painting by Hawaii-based artist, Èlan Vital. This round piece depicts a deep, almost three-dimensional painting achieved through layers of pigments. Small stone-like details create texture throughout the painting. Paint drippings are also seen along the edges of the piece. Signed by the artist at the back of the painting. Unframed but framing options are available. Artist Biography: As the son of a prominent lithographer and growing up in New York City, Élan was exposed to art and color at a very early age. His discovery of Leonardo DaVinci's renaissance diversity theory first touched him when he was only seven; DaVinci became an influential force in Élan's life and still is to this day. Élan attended a high school for gifted students and graduated with honors, attaining an equivalency of an Associate Degree in Engineering at age seventeen. After graduation, Élan was hired by the IBM Corporation as a computer diagnostics expert - the youngest on their team. He was later hired by the ITT Corporation as a design engineer for projects such as the Manila airport underground lighting system and the towers for a hydroelectric dam in Pakistan. Élan's personal artistic revolution began after leaving the corporate world and joining a commune of artists in the East Village, Manhattan. It was there while designing psychedelic lighting equipment, Élan met Andy Warhol. Andy committed the monetary resources for Élan to design the first psychedelic discotechque, located on Saint Marks Place in New York City. This became the springboard for many artistic endeavors for Élan - combining invention with art. Élan moved to Hawaii in 1988. His first major work in Maui was a 49-foot, 10-ton, life-size, humpback whale - the largest sculpture of its kind in Hawaii. Élan donated the whale to establish Maui's Ecology Park, where it is now on permanent display. After completion of the whale, Élan began his signature work - combining aerospace enamel with exotic pigments and finely ground minerals. His inspiration for these meta-realistic paintings comes from the beauty of gemstones, his colorful surroundings, and life itself. Élan's masterpieces, with 30-75 layers of extraordinary color, explode with depth and movement! Like fine studio art-glass and gemstones, light travels through each individual layer of color; this is what makes Élan's work so incredibly luminous! The only artist in the world to use this medium and technique, Élan has captured nature's beauty, creating a unique and compelling style. Currently the number one selling artist of original paintings in the Hawaiian Islands, Élan has sold over 6,500 works, with patrons from around the world. More than 70% of Élan's admirers have acquired five or more works of art for their homes or businesses. Élan's originals can be seen online at Elan Vital...
